“Who asked her parents to do a background check on me?” Lana was not bothered. For her, money and power were far more valuable than human life.“Hans, Eveline is pretty good-looking. Could it be that you’re falling for her?” Lana asked while moving closer to Jeremy.“How can a dull woman like her compare to me? She’s only good-looking, but beauty is not everything.”Lana trusted her charm. When she saw Jeremy staying silent, she smiled to flatter him.“Hans, are you blaming me for going too far? You have to understand that we can’t let people find out about the Stygian Johnsons’ background. If not, we’ll get into trouble. You don’t want anything to happen to me, right?”Jeremy smiled superficially after he heard that. “Of course not.”“I knew you wouldn’t.” Lana smiled bashfully as she tried to get close to Jeremy to get a kiss. However, Jeremy asked the driver to stop driving all of a sudden.“Hans, where are you going?”Jeremy’s eyes were cold as he said, “I think I’m going to

Jeremy focused all of his attention on the colorful shell.Suddenly, the same image appeared in his brain again.Under the hot summer sun, he had his back against a little girl as he ran along the beach hurriedly.The little girl circled her arms around his neck and called out to him sweetly…Slap!When Jeremy was immersed in his flashbacks and was about to hear the little girl calling out his name, he received another heavy slap from Madeline.Madeline ripped her necklace away from her neck in front of Jeremy and threw it on the ground.“I should just forget about you. You didn’t kill my parents, I did! I shouldn’t have forgiven you and I shouldn’t have given you a chance to start over!”She pushed him away and started running.Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back before squatting down to pick up the smashed shell necklace.It was such a normal-looking shell, but for some reason, it looked so familiar and special to him.Madeline ran out of the entrance and continued to run aim

Madeline looked at the smiling man in surprise. “Did you just say I saved you, Mr. Jones?”Ryan was taken aback when he heard that. Then, he nodded.“I don’t know if you remember this, though.” Ryan held a coin in between his fingers.Madeline shook her head in confusion. “No.”“So you’ve indeed forgotten about it.” Ryan chuckled in slight disappointment. When he was about to explain, Mrs. Jones walked in.Compared to her aggressive attitude that day, she looked much friendlier and approachable this time.“I heard about what happened to your house, Miss Montgomery. If you don’t have a place to go for the time being, you can stay in our guest room. I’m sorry for what happened before and I hope you don’t take it to heart.”Madeline placed the cup down and got out of bed. “Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Jones. It was just a misunderstanding, so I won’t take it to heart.”She looked at the time and noticed it was the next morning.“I need to go now. Thank you, Mr. Jones.”“You

The moment Lana heard that, she was taken aback because she thought she misheard her.However, Madeline’s gaze was sharp. She then pulled Lana back forcefully and kicked her on her right knee.Lana was unprepared. With a bend of her right leg, she was now kneeling on one knee in front of Madeline.No one expected Madeline to do this, and Lana was also dumbfounded.However, she soon became agitated. She lifted her head to stand up, but Madeline slapped her heavily across her face out of the blue.Lana was fuming. “Eveline, you—”When she was about to curse and warn her, Eveline grabbed her chin domineeringly. Her cold eyes were filled with flames of revenge that enveloped Lana tightly.“Apologize!” Madeline was glaring straight at her. Then, she took out a polaroid picture from her pocket. It was the photo she took of Eloise and Sean when they were alive. “Apologize to my parents!”When Lana saw the photo, she understood what Madeline was saying. However, she was the second-in-c

However, Madeline broke down after Jeremy did that. “Jeremy, what are you doing? Let go of me! I want this woman to atone for her crimes against my parents!”She struggled, and all of a sudden, the man pulled her domineeringly into his arms. “Linnie, don’t do this. I know you’re sad that Mom and Dad are gone, but this has nothing to do with Miss Johnson.”What?Madeline was taken aback. She looked at the man who was calling her ‘Linnie’ in such a gentle voice in front of her, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.However, Jeremy continued and held her closely, “Linnie, you’re extremely unstable now. I’ll take you home so that you can rest.”Lana and Naomi were suspicious when they saw Jeremy behaving this way.Had his memories come back?No.That was impossible.Lana then noticed Jeremy looking at her. “Miss Johnson, I’m so sorry. My wife only became so unstable because of the death of my in-laws. I hope you can forgive her for what she did just now.”Lana wanted to e

When he asked her this, Madeline was slightly taken aback.However, looking at those deep narrow eyes, Madeline did not have any expectations for him anymore. His eyes were also getting colder and colder.“Jeremy, from now on, I, Eveline Montgomery, will slowly get rid of you from my heart. You won’t be the person I love the most. On the contrary, you’ll be the person I despise the most!”Jeremy’s expression changed slightly after hearing her say that without hesitation. His arms around her became lifeless as well.Madeline escaped from his arms and took off the wedding ring in front of him.However, it was as if the ring had become smaller and she could not take it off no matter how hard she pulled.Madeline cried out and used all of her might to pull it off. She still tried her best to repeat the action of removing the ring even when her fingers had turned raw from the friction.Jeremy looked at Madeline who was in pain and felt something clenching at his heart.When he was a

After Ava said that, Madeline’s secretary knocked on the door. “Mrs. Whitman, there’s a young man with a bouquet of roses who says he wants to see you. He’s waiting outside right now.”“A young man? Roses?” Ava was puzzled. “Maddie, is he your admirer? Does he think that Jeremy is dead and that’s why he’s pursuing you now?”Madeline figured as much. As such, she asked Coco to reject the man.However, after a while, Madeline heard a familiar voice from outside of her office. “My lady, it’s been so long. Have you already forgotten about me?”When she heard that voice, she saw Fabian’s frivolous face appear in front of her.Ava was confused. “Maddie, who’s this?”“I’m Eveline’s close male friend,” Fabian said mischievously. Then, he lifted his eyebrow and walked over to Madeline.“Am I right?” he asked with a smile. Then, he noticed Madeline’s eyes were red and she looked as if she had just cried.Fabian’s smile disappeared as he became serious.“Eveline, are you upset because of

His eyes were glued on her, and his heart started racing all of a sudden.She was looking breathtakingly stunning in front of him right now.She had an icy aura around her, and there was no smile on her small face. However, the colder she was, the more charming she looked.Even though she did not dress up, it was evident that she did put on a little makeup.He could also see a red line around the ring finger on her left hand that was holding her clutch.It was the wound from when she removed the ring forcefully.Fabian brought her to the second floor. When they walked past Jeremy, Madeline pretended as if she did not see him and just breezed past him.Jeremy grabbed her thin arm with a look of sadness in his eyes. “Why are you here?”Madeline did not even look at him. “It’s none of your business,” she replied coldly and continued walking upstairs after she removed his hand from her.Jeremy was just left with emptiness in his hand while his heart started beating erratically.T
