The next day, Madeline bought some fruits and her grandfather’s favorite snacks before going to the hospital.She went directly to the room her grandfather was staying in but realized her grandfather was not there.Madeline went to the reception to ask about this. When the nurse saw that she was Len Samuels’ family member, the nurse looked at her with a peculiar expression. Her tone was also unfriendly. “So, you’re Mr. Samuels’ granddaughter? Is this how you should behave as his grandchild? He has been dead for three years. Why are you still here? Go to the funeral parlor. His ashes are over there.”Clank! The fruits in Madeline’s hands fell to the ground.She widened her blank eyes and was stuck in a daze. The pain started to penetrate her entire body.She thought her heart was dead. She thought it was so numb that it would not feel any pain anymore. However, this suffocating pain was making it hard for her to breathe. Her grandfather was dead. He had been dead for three year
Madeline was heartbroken.A million arrows to her heart would not be as horrible as this.She would never forget that night. She was cruelly inducted into labor and had her child forcefully taken away from her.Until now, she still did not know whether that child was a boy or a girl. Did the child look like her or more like Jeremy?Madeline looked at Meredith’s Twitter account and saw her showing off furiously. She was showing off her expensive cars, her branded bags, and her reputable as well as famous biological parents. She was even showing off the cute son she had with Jeremy.An evil woman like her had everything now.On the contrary, she, Madeline, had nothing.How ironic.There had been a few instances when Madeline wanted to look for Jeremy. However, she realized she did not have the courage to do so.She had been tortured mercilessly in prison and it made her flinch at the very thought of it.However, when she thought about her missing child, Madeline still took this
Madeline’s vision was blurred by her tears.However, she still could not believe Jeremy would be that cold-blooded.It was such a lively child. Could he really do that to a child?Meredith yanked Madeline’s short hair with all her might. She looked at Madeline’s bare yet stunning face and could feel anger rising in her chest. “Madeline, do you know who I am now? I’m Miss Montgomery, and I’m going to be Mrs. Whitman soon. Who are you to fight me?”She kicked away Madeline who was too weak to fight back. Smiling maliciously, she said, “Didn’t you want me to give you back your child?”Madeline quivered. She could see Meredith holding a bottle that was about the size of a fist through her blurry vision. There was some white powder in it.“Your child is here.”What?Madeline felt as if all of the blood in her body had been sucked dry and her flesh had also been scraped clean. She only had her bones left.Her vision turned dark, but she could hear Meredith’s eerie voice saying, “How
Every word he said felt like salt on her fresh and bloody wounds. The bone-piercing pain made her entire body numb.“Hehe…” Madeline laughed pitifully.It turned out he was so cruel that he even wiped away the presence of that child.It turned out he was able to grind his own child’s bones to dust for that devil of a woman!Madeline thought her heart was dead. She thought she would not be able to feel pain anymore.However, she did not expect those wounds to start burning her again when she met that man once more.“Jeremy, I didn’t expect Madeline to come to cause trouble for me the moment she got out of prison. I’m so scared. I’m so scared that she’ll hurt our baby again. She killed our baby once. I don’t want it to happen a second time.”Meredith leaned against Jeremy’s chest while sobbing tearfully.She was speaking so innocently, but it was evident that she was purposely lighting the fire of anger in Jeremy’s heart.Just as the woman expected, Jeremy frowned as his malicio
Meredith had become one of the socialites from the four major rich families in Glendale. If they crossed her, they might not be able to keep staying here.She did not want Ava to get into trouble because of her.After pondering about her painful experience, Madeline decided to start over.She could only avenge herself and her dead child if she rose from the brambles.Two days later, Madeline went to work in her new company.Some of the wounds on her face had not healed yet, so Madeline used some concealer to hide the bruises.The moment she arrived at her office, before she could even sit down, she was called over by Eve Garcia—her superior.Eve looked like a strong and powerful businesswoman. She was dressed in the trendiest outfit and was beautiful. However, she had a resting b*tch face, so she looked dead serious. This made Madeline extremely nervous. She was worried that she would mess things up and fail her probation. However, Eve was courteous to her. She told Madeline s
Indeed, the reason she could get this job so easily was because of Meredith pulling some strings behind the scenes.However, Madeline was not an idiot. How would Meredith be so kind?“Stop pretending. You don’t feel disgusted, but I do.” She pushed away Meredith’s hand that was trying to reach out to her in contempt.Meredith tilted her body as if she was too weak and fragile. Then, she leaned against Eloise.Eloise saw that her precious daughter was being bullied, so she walked over to Madeline in agitation and shielded Meredith behind her.“Madeline, don’t be blind to what’s good for you! If Mer hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let a person like you work in my company!” Eloise said angrily.“Even though you’re not Mer’s biological sister, she never bickered with you despite you bullying her relentlessly. She was even so thoughtful of you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to bite the hand that feeds you!”It was this same phrase again.Madeline was abo
Madeline’s eyes became dispirited. She could clearly see the ring Meredith was wearing and it was the very ring she had designed!“Madeline, you’re talented. This ring looks nice. I like it, but most importantly, Jeremy was the one who put it on for me.”She was flaunting her ring, her pride clearly written all over her eyes.Madeline curled her fingers and held the phone that was recording a video the entire time tightly in her hand. She smiled as she gritted her teeth.“Meredith, did you just admit to framing me for plagiarism even though I’m clearly the original creator?”Meredith scoffed. “So what? Who’s going to believe you? Who are you to compete with me?”“That’s enough.” Madeline tugged the corner of her lips and turned around after she said that.When Meredith saw Madeline behaving weirdly, she could feel that something was amiss. When she finally realized what was wrong, Madeline had already gotten into the car.After a while, a video went viral on the internet.In t
It was evident that Jeremy did not expect Madeline to have the courage to talk to him this way.He initially wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but suddenly, the expression in his eyes changed. His tone was as frigid as usual. “What do you mean by you won’t live long?”Madeline did not expect Jeremy to be concerned about this. Should he not be yelling at her and warning her not to harass Meredith?She could not guess what Jeremy was thinking about. However, she did not want to tell him about the tumor in her body.“It’s nothing. You don’t have to be bothered by what a woman like me says, Mr. Whitman.” After Madeline finished saying that, she pushed Jeremy away. Perhaps it was the psychological effect, but the spot in her body where the tumor was began to hurt.However, Jeremy did not give up just like that. “Madeline, you’re so stubborn. Are you trying to put on a pathetic act so that I’ll feel sorry for you?”Madeline was taken aback before she laughed lightly. “Yeah, I’m puttin
