Madeline's outstretched hand was suddenly hauled up and Felipe was immediately interrupted right when he touched the corner of the thumb drive.He looked up unhappily with his cold eyes and saw an angry face."Vera Quinn, how could you be so shameless?!"Yvonne yelled, "As soon as Cousin Jeremy walked away, you immediately came to have a sweet lunch with another man. Both of you are even holding hands publicly. You’re so cheap, you don’t deserve to be my cousin-in-law! I’m going to tell Cousin Jeremy about this right away!"Madeline really did not expect Yvonne to have tailed her. As she was listening to Yvonne's slanderous words, she withdrew her hand unhappily and said, "Speak with your respect. This ‘other man’ you’re talking about is Jeremy’s uncle.""What?" Shocked, Yvonne looked at Felipe who had a cold facial expression. It was only then she noticed that this man not only looked handsome and extraordinary, but his facial features were indeed somewhat similar looking to Jeremy’s

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.Felipe's gaze turned cold. "Jeremy, aren't you on a business trip?""Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn’t come back just in time?" Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline's hand in his palm. "Let's go in."He ignored Felipe and turned away while bringing Madeline to the door.Madeline looked back at Felipe, then followed Jeremy into the corporation silently.Upon returning to the office, Madeline thought that Jeremy would question her, but he did not ask anything."Don't you have something to ask me?" Madeline inquiringly looked at the man who had a calm expression.Jeremy took off his coat and replied in a soft tone, "Do I have something to ask?""Won’t you ask me what is in this thumb drive and why I was giving it to Felipe?""If you wanted to tell me, you woul

Even though Madeline could guess this from Meredith’s replies, when Jeremy gave her an affirmative answer, she was still stunned all the same.The cold wind from the early winter caressed her face. That bone-chilling coldness made Madeline recall the man’s cruelness back then.She could never forget about his cruel and cold-blooded actions as well as his gaze. After a while, Madeline curled her lips superficially. “You hate Madeline so much, so why did you even erect a tombstone for her? You’re even giving her roses. I don’t understand this,” she smiled as she said. She could not accept this reality.He hated her so much that he wanted to crush her into dust, so why was he commemorating her passing?Jeremy smiled when he heard that. His gentle gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “I know you won’t believe me because even I’ve lied to myself a few times.”Madeline turned her head. “Lied to yourself?”Jeremy smiled and looked at Madeline. “I lied to myself that her passing is just a l

Madeline looked at Jeremy indifferently when she heard that. The man flipped through a stack of documents in his hand slowly without raising his head. “What’s going on?”Ken looked at Madeline hesitantly.Madeline understood what he meant and smiled before getting up. “You guys should talk. I’ll go back to the jewelry department.”“Vera is my wife. There’s nothing she’s not allowed to know.” Jeremy stopped Madeline from leaving.Ken nodded and said, “Mr. Whitman, the project in Cielo Aqua Bay with ZF is met with a bit of a hiccup.”Jeremy took care of the work in front of him and asked slowly, “The project has not started yet, so what can happen?”“Since it hasn’t started yet, someone snatched it away from us.”After Ken said that, Jeremy stopped flipping through his documents.He lifted his eyes that were as deep as the ocean. “Someone snatched it from us?”Ken nodded. “It’s a company named Simis. They signed the contract with the relevant department of ZF yesterday.”“Simis

“Shut up!” Jeremy roared angrily.Yvonne immediately kept quiet out of fear. She saw a coldness in Jeremy’s eyes and did not even dare to breathe too loudly.Jeremy walked past Yvonne and his mother as he approached Madeline. When he saw Madeline’s displeased expression, he asked gently, “Are you full? If you are, then let’s go home.”Madeline got up slowly, her arrogant eyes scanning across Yvonne and Jeremy’s mother. She said slowly, “I don’t want to eat anymore. How can I have an appetite when I’m facing those people.”“...” Jeremy’s mother exploded immediately. “Jeremy, did you hear that? She’s talking about me with that kind of attitude!”Madeline smiled coldly. “So what if I’m talking to you that way? Do you think I’ll let you bully me like Madeline?”“Y-You…” Jeremy’s mother was at a loss for words. “Vera Quinn, what do you mean? Are you outraged by the injustice Madeline suffered? How interesting. But you can’t stop me from scolding her when she is a b*tch! She said Mer
