Madeline returned to the empty villa and thought about the divorce papers as well as the reply Jeremy had given her. Her heart was hurting as if it had been sliced by a knife.She had not thought that Jeremy hated her so much. He was so heartless that he could tell her to abort the baby so easily.Madeline was afraid. If Jeremy really wanted to do it, what should she do?At this moment, noises came from the front door. Jeremy was back. He was standing upright and looked elegant.Madeline was surprised, but she felt even more nervous.She was scared that Jeremy would force her to abort the child. However, to her surprise, Jeremy neither mentioned the divorce nor the abortion. On the other hand, he reminded her to go back to Whitman Manor with him the coming day as his wife because it was his mother’s 50th birthday.This surprised Madeline. Did this mean that he was trying to accept her?However, her extravagant hopes were crushed by him immediately. The man’s eyes were cold and s

The woman’s shrill accusations attracted a lot of people’s stares. Nevertheless, Madeline tried to remain polite. “Madam, you’re the one who bumped into me just now. Plus, I’m not the Whitmans’ maid.”The woman was stunned. Then, she looked at Madeline’s outfit. A smile of disdain appeared on her elegant face. “You don’t look like a maid at all. You look more like a beggar from the streets.”Subsequently, sniggers were heard from one side. Nevertheless, Madeline did not want to argue with her anymore. However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Meredith walking over.She was dressed to the nines and had nice makeup on her face. When she saw Madeline, she displayed a shocked expression. “Oh, it’s you, Maddie.”When the woman heard what Meredith had said, she looked at Madeline in contempt. “Mrs. Whitman, you know this stupid beggar?”Madeline was stunned. This woman thought Meredith was Jeremy’s wife. However, it was obvious that Meredith was not going to correct her. On the c

His sudden intimate gesture caused Madeline’s heart to beat faster. Her face also began to heat up gradually.She lifted her head to look at Jeremy. His side profile was good looking, but his face was neutral.“Grandpa is here.”He said those three words coldly and Madeline understood immediately.He merely wanted to put on the act of a loving couple in front of Old Master Whitman. Madeline’s heart became cold, and she felt that this was very ironic.There were no outsiders at the dining table. If there was one, it was Meredith.Old Master Whitman’s eyes were kind. However, for some reason, Madeline felt that he looked familiar. It was as if she had seen him from years ago.What surprised Madeline was how Jeremy ignored Meredith’s feelings and took care of her just to make the old master happy.Not only did he take food for her, but he even peeled prawns for her. This was the first time Madeline saw Jeremy’s gentle smile on a very rare occasion.Madeline lifted her head to loo

The man’s cold accusations rained down on Madeline, and she felt extremely ironic.“Weren’t you already aware about it, Mr. Whitman?”Madeline’s answer enraged Jeremy even more. He lifted her chin angrily as he glared at her with his bottomless, black eyes that were filled with anger.“So, you went to look for your old flame, hmm?”‘Old flame? He must be referring to Daniel.’Daniel had once been Jeremy’s classmate. They were two years older than her and had been her seniors.When Daniel confessed to Madeline during their graduation ceremony, everyone in school thought that they began dating afterward.Madeline did not know that Jeremy had believed those rumors as well.“Madeline, I’m telling you, even if I were to kick you out one day, don’t think that you can run away to other men. I want to see who dares pick up trash I’ve used before!”Trash.He was describing her with such words.Madeline’s heart was hurting. She pushed away the man with force that she did not know she

After a while, Jeremy arrived. However, it was not because Madeline wanted to see him. Instead, he had come to criticize her violently.The light in the meeting room was dim. Nonetheless, it was enough for Madeline to see the malice and sinisterness on the man’s face.Madeline was firm. “I didn’t push Meredith. She fell by herself on purpose. Jeremy, please believe me!”Upon hearing her words, Jeremy stretched out his hand. His cold hand grabbed the back of her neck tightly, and he pushed her toward him.His bottomless, black eyes were like cold daggers as he shot out a glare and said, “Not only is there evidence, but there are eyewitnesses. Yet, you still have the cheek to say it wasn’t your doing?”“I did not! Meredith framed me! I didn’t push her! I didn’t!” Madeline was having an emotional breakdown. She kept on emphasizing the truth in hopes that the man would believe her.However, Jeremy’s eyes only became more and more terrifying. His hand on the back of her neck tightened
