Hannah, thinking that she would have to pester Madeline for a long time before Madeline would agree, had not expected Madeline to agree so readily.She smiled satisfactorily, but she looked pointedly at Madeline.âSince youâve promised me, you can't go back on it.ââI won't take back what I said and the promises I made, but I want to remind you that perfume making is not an easy task, so don't give up halfway.âWhen she heard Madeline's words, Hannah let out a pejorative chuckle.âThank you for being so considerate, but you can rest assured that Iâve suffered from all kinds of hardships since I was a child, so Iâve always been fearless, and Iâm not afraid of hardship.âBased on Hannahâs words, Madeline finally understood why Hannahâs personality was so unrestrained.It turned out that it was all because of her life experience.However, being unrestrained was not a personality that was worth showing off.âEveline, can I learn from you now?â Hannah asked impatiently.Madeline n
When she heard what Madeline had said, Hannah nodded gently, but her eyes were full of doubt and disdain. âEveline, you seem very confident.ââIf you don't have this confidence, customers wouldnât pay a high price to ask me to make the perfume for them.ââHmph.â Hannah chuckled, expressing her defiance. âI believe that no matter what it is, as long as you do it seriously, as long as you work hard at it, youâll be rewarded! You may be good at perfume making, but practice makes perfect.âMadeline heard Hannahâs overconfident words, and Madeline did not want to make any rebuttals.She already knew that Hannah was like this.Apart from the times when she would be a little afraid in front of Carter, she was self-centered and quite conceited.Madeline said nothing. She merely allowed Hannah to stay with her in the laboratory.Hannah, who seemed very focused on learning, watched Madeline making perfume.During this time, Madeline went to the restroom and unexpectedly ran into Jeremy w
âMess up?âSuspicious, Madeline raised her eyes and looked at Hannah, then she explained the situation in a calm tone.âWhat kind of mess up do you mean? A contract is signed for every order, and both parties are obligated to abide by the rules of the contract.âHannah had never dealt with business matters before, so when Madeline asked, she was dumbfounded.However, of course, she wanted to ask what would happen if Madeline was the one who messed up.After thinking about it, Hannah spoke nonchalantly.âIâm also a member of the Whitman family, so Iâm concerned about the situation in the Whitman Corporation, of course. What do you think Iâm asking?ââA member of the Whitman family?âMadeline curled her lips slightly into a smile when she heard those terms.Hannah inexplicably felt that Madeline was mocking her when she saw Madelineâs smile.âWhat are you smiling at? Arenât you the one who agreed to let me join the family? Mr. Whitman also said that he would be responsible for
âWho is this?âMadeline glanced at Hannah and introduced, âShe just started learning with meâŠââHello, Mr. Sutton. My name is Hannah Bolton, and I am Mr. Whitman's person.ââ...â Mr. Sutton was stunned.Madeline knew that Hannah had said this on purpose, and she also knew that the client had misunderstood.She smiled slightly and casually corrected Hannah, âThis is Miss Bolton, and she just started to learn perfume making with me. She currently lives in Whitman Manor because of work requirements, so she is considered a guest of the Whitmans.âUpon hearing this, the client looked dazed. âI see.ââYes.â Madeline smiled and nodded in affirmation.Hannah glared at Madeline in displeasure. When she wanted to emphasize her relationship with Jeremy, Madeline suddenly looked at her with a sharp look.Hannah had never seen Madeline look at her like this. The piercing glint in Madelineâs eyes was icy cold, and it instantly fell on Hannahâs face in a breathtaking manner.Hannah did not
Madeline was very calm when she spoke, but the aura her eyes exuded was abnormally domineering. Hannah was a little stunned at the sight of the cold expression on Madelineâs face. Hannah pursed her lips together, but she spoke not a single word. Since her first interaction with Madeline, she had felt that Madeline was a soft and gentle young mistress from a rich family. Madeline looked calm and collected no matter the circumstances. Tonight, however, Madeline was very different. Her eyes and her temperament looked extraordinarily stern. Hannah had to admit that she was frightened by this aura. âDo you know what you had just said in front of the client?â Madeline questioned her coldly. Hannah, stunned upon hearing that, then quickly recalled how she had introduced herself to that client named Mr. Sutton. She had said that she was Jeremyâs person. Despite her uneasiness, Hannah, still displeased with Madelineâs attitude, sneered arrogantly and disdainfully. âWhat did I
She knew Hannah was watching her, so at the present, she wanted Hannah to know who the matriarch of the family and Jeremyâs one true love was. As for Jeremy, he would not pay attention to how Hannah was feeling, of course. He did not even notice that there was another woman inside the car, and he only allowed Madeline to hold his arm to walk into the house. When Jackson, who had come home after school, saw Madeline, the handsome boy ran over to her happily while calling out to her. âMommy, Mommy, I called Lily just now, and she said she missed me. She also misses Mommy and Daddy too.âAs the little guy said that, his adorable eyebrows furrowed. âBut Lily looked so haggard. Is she still sick?âHaggard. Madeline heard her son describing Lillianâs current state as haggard. She felt her heart aching, but she still gave her son a soft and amiable smile. Madeline then lifted her hand to caress the little guyâs head. âItâs because sheâs not with Mommy, Daddy, and Jack, so that
Hannah looked around the factory. She realized the employees were all focused on their work while Madeline was talking to the person in charge of the factory. After they finished talking, Madeline would inspect the factory. Hannah did not want to let Madeline inspect the manufacturing process of the perfume. When she saw Madeline changing her clothes before going into the factory, she figured she must carry through whatever happens. As such, she ran over directly to make a fuss. âEveline!âMadeline was in the process of changing into a coat to enter the factory when suddenly, she saw Hannah running into the room hurriedly, yelling out Madelineâs name. Puzzled, Madeline looked at Hannah. âIs there an urgent matter? If itâs not urgent, I need to inspect the factory first.ââOf course, it's urgent since I came to you so hurriedly.âHannah said with an anxious look on her face. She then looked at the person in charge and the manager behind Madeline. Suddenly, the look in her eye
âI mean whatever you meant.â Madeline did not bother explaining or arguing with Hannah. âIf you had really come to your senses, then you should do your work properly with me. But if you hadnât, then Iâd remind you not to say anything unseemly at inappropriate times.âMadeline decisively and straightforwardly warned Hannah. Her arrogant eyes scanned Hannahâs face before she strode into the factory. Hannah, terrified that Madeline would see the tampered data, quickly ran up to stop her. âEveline! Stop right there, Eveline!ââDonât let that person enter the factory.âWithout even turning back, Madeline ordered the security guard who was watching the entrance to the workshop before continuing walking inside coolly. The security guard stopped Hannah from entering. When Hannah saw that Madeline had entered the building, she angrily stomped her feet. She waited outside the door anxiously, nervous that Madeline would sense something wrong. Approximately half an hour later, Madel
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.âStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?ââWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iâm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?âHer husband was startled. âYouâre agreeing to this?âGina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Danielâs parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. âAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.ââBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonât be happy about it for the rest of their lives,â Ava said with a helpless sigh. âI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.ââBut AvaâŠââMaddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as theyâre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?âThere was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.âAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?ââI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.âHmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,â Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. âStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnât a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnât have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?âGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. âDidn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?ââStop talking.â Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.âHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?âHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?âOld Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?âI canât let this happen.âAfter Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.âDan, have you decided to just give up?âAre we
âI'll be right back!âGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.âDonât follow me! Youâre not welcomed at our house.âDespite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. âWhat? Danâs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?ââLook at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.âWhatâs going on? Whereâs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?â Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, âI want to know as well.ââHow could you not know? You came before me.ââDan wasn't in the ward when I came,â Ava said and turned around. âI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.ââWait.âGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.âAva, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.âLily.â Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. âLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youâll be able to speak soon.âLillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.âMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.âJulie smiled and shook her head. âYou stopped owing me an
âI did,â Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, âI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnât expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.âFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.âBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereâll be no such trouble in the future.âJulie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.âMiss Charles, Iâve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itâs closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.âJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?âJulie frowned. âYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.ââWhat?ââTsk tsk⊠Julie, do you really like this single father?â The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. âSomeone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.ââWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?â Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
