Chapter 891
In a tailored limited edition suit, Felipe’s elegant appearance and aura made him look like he had just walked out of a comic.He looked precisely like the stereotypical cool and unfeeling type of character.Was he not the same man Yui and her mother called a ‘hobo’ yesterday? Both Yui and her mother were stunned. As he strode forward, Felipe glanced at the two women in front of him and parted his lips to instruct, “Throw everything in the house. Don’t let unnecessary people stand in the way.”“Understood, Mr. Whitman.” Following their orders, his subordinates quickly entered the house to throw everything out. Meanwhile, Felipe walked inside without a care. “Hey! How can you call people to throw my things out? Who do you think you are…” Yui’s mother spoke, and Felipe slowly turned to look at her. His handsome side profile was gentle, but the corners of his eyes were sharp and cold. “This is my wife’s home. I’m merely taking back what belonged to her.” Yui’s mother w

“He’s giving up all his hard work for a woman?”Felipe’s subordinates under Dice quickly booked a flight over.The early summer morning dawned with rainfall, and Felipe went to check on Cathy’s grave in fear that it would be affected by the rain. Only after confirming that everything would be fine did Felipe return. Upon his arrival, he found quite a few cars stopped by the entrance of his small villa. When he entered the house, he saw Dice and his subordinates waiting impatiently for him.“Are you really going to dismiss the company, Master Whitman?” Dice asked.Felipe’s expression was indifferent. “I don’t like repeating myself.”“But Master Whitman, is it really worth dismissing such a large company because of a woman?”A layer of frost covered Felipe’s warm features. “This woman you speak of is my wife.”“...” Seeing Felipe angry, Dice dared not talk back and resorted to persuading him instead. “But Madam’s already dead, Master Whitman. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to see yo

Knowing that none of them came with good intentions, Felipe’s bad feeling was confirmed when he set his eyes on what Dice was referring to.Taking the opportunity of a dazed Felipe, Dice immediately pushed Felipe’s gun away and stood up.“Hmph. How’s this, Master Whitman? Since you love your wife so much, then we’ll use this to trade the company. It’s worth it, isn’t it?”“Give her back!” Felipe oozed with fury.Dice then handed a document to him with an evil smile. “This is a document for the transferral of the company’s ownership. Sign below and I’ll give you your stupid urn back.”‘Stupid urn.’ The words ignited the flames of fury within him.Balling a veiny fist, the frost that exploded off Felipe stunned everyone in the room. He raised his fist to punch Dice across the face. It was strong enough to knock one of his teeth out. In the next moment, he arrived at the side of the man with Cathy’s ashes before anyone could react.Snatching the urn in record speed, he elbowed

Sure, one million dollars was alluring, but what use was money if they were not alive to enjoy it? With that in mind, everyone ran.Felipe was left to kneel painfully on one knee as he stared despairingly at the remnants of Cathy’s ashes. He suddenly felt limp all over. Only after looking down did he realize that his shoulder had been shot and blood was gushing from the wound.He wanted to stand, but his eyelids grew heavy and he fell in the rain with a thud.He raised a bloodied hand to cradle the urn close to himself.“Cathy…” he called out softly. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a vague figure with an umbrella approached him before his eyes through the rain.His thin lips parted as he stared at the approaching figure. “Cathy…”Rain fell throughout the night.It was bright and sunny when Felipe woke up blearily. The wounds on his body were aching in protest, but he realized that they had been cleaned and dressed.Looking around, he found himself in an unfamili
Chapter 895
Jeremy pressed on as his expression darkened. The receptionist stammered, “The man said, every rose for Mrs. Whitman represented his—”“His feelings.” A man’s voice sounded from afar. “Aren’t your hiring qualifications a little too low, Jeremy? How could you have a stuttering receptionist?”Jeremy was already pissed to know that a man had come to send Madeline roses.Yet now when he heard the arrogant voice, the flames of fury within him quelled instead.Madeline turned around to see Fabian walking toward them carefreely with his hands in his pockets. His silver locks were grandiose and eye-catching. “Are you trying to provoke me by sending this to my wife, Fabian?” Jeremy asked teasingly.“Don’t be so quick to get jealous, President Whitman. Roses don’t always have to mean that way,” Fabian replied meaningfully.Madeline glanced at the bouquet and counted there to be a total of 30 flowers.She smiled faintly. “30 roses. Young Master Fabian, is it in remembrance of our encou

Seeing him close to exploding, Madeline accepted the apology and sent the delivery boy away.“I’m alright. Don’t worry, relax.”Madeline comforted the man.However, Jeremy remained staring heavily at Madeline with a solemn look in the corner of his eyes.“Of course, I’ll be worried. I can’t bear to see you hurt at all, not even a scratch.”Fabian third-wheeled by the side.He was about to ask how Lillian was doing when a woman walked over.She had a grey bob and was dressed in clothes that hugged her seductive figure. Walking over, she gave a friendly smile and introduced herself.“Hello, I’m Lana Johnson, Fabian’s elder sister.”It turned out Fabian had an older sister as well.Neither Jeremy nor Madeline wanted to be too close to the Johnson family, so the man wrapped his arms around Madeline and turned.“The Whitman boys are just more alluring than the other.”Lana quirked her red lips with interest as she stared with a joyful smile in the direction Jeremy and Madeline l
Chapter 897
Jeremy was no stranger to being admired, but it was his first time meeting someone as open with her affections as Lana.Not to mention that her going on her tiptoes to kiss him was evidently done for Madeline to see.However, Jeremy had not let Lana touch him. Pushing her away, he stated coldly, “Leave me alone.”He warned before turning to walk toward Madeline. Madeline seemed to have knocked into a friend, so she did not see Lana trying to kiss Jeremy.Jeremy let out a breath of relief.He did not want Madeline to misunderstand anything.Madeline’s conversation came to an end, and she turned around to see Jeremy approaching her with her purse and a warm smile. “I’m suddenly craving Spanish food, Linnie. Let’s eat somewhere else.”Madeline found his sudden change in decision weird.Peering subtly at Lana who was not too far away, she reached out to link her arm with Jeremy’s. “Let’s go.”After leaving the restaurant, Madeline asked Jeremy, “Did Lana say something? You could

He picked up the phone and heard Lana’s pretentious voice. “Did you receive the Queen of the Night, Mr. Whitman? I’m sure you understand why I sent them.”“For the last time, Lana Johnson, do not disturb me again. I have no interest, nor will I have any in the future, for women like you.”Lana merely scoffed as her tone grew more smitten. “You’ll never know if you’re interested until you try. I hear that your wife’s four months pregnant, Mr. Whitman.”This woman’s actions and speech were too unbridled. It was sickening.Not wanting to waste his saliva on this woman, he hung up and blocked Lana’s number before he went to prepare for Madeline’s perfume testing that weekend.However, he had not expected Lana to appear again.Dressed seductively, Lana gave off a unique scent—one that Madeline could smell the moment she approached her.The smell itself was good, yet Madeline felt it muddling her mind inexplicably.Although she did not know how Lana got her hands on an invitation, Ma
