After Karen finished barking her orders in an imposing manner, the entire room went quiet. They were all staring blankly at her and Yvonne.Yvonne was beaming as she loved the feeling of being in the center of attention.Madeline burst out laughing when she saw the aunt and niece duo in front of her. “You’re taking over? What are you going to be responsible for? Being the clown?”Karen’s face fell. “Vera, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You’re just Jeremy’s wife, so what qualifications do you have to manage Whitman Corporation?”She said before looking at Yvonne, “Yvonne, from this day on, you’ll sit here. When Jeremy comes back, I’ll tell him that you’re his secretary now.”Yvonne was elated after she heard that. “Thank you, Aunt Karen!” She smiled and sat down on Madeline’s seat.“What are you still doing here? Get out! Go manage your Miss L.ady. You have no business being in Whitman Corporation.” Karen chased Madeline away. Then, she sat upright an

After Madeline said that, Karen’s face was flushed white. She widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the beautiful yet icy face in front of her in disbelief.When Yvonne saw Karen’s pale and dumbfounded face, she was confused. She was even more confused with what Madeline had said just now.“Aunt Karen, you…”“W-What did you just say?” Karen ignored Yvonne. She reached out her finger and pointed to Madeline, saying, “Say that again. W-Who are you?”Madeline leaned back on her chair nonchalantly when she saw Karen stammering in terror.She lifted her eyebrow and stared straight at her. “It happened here on that day. You said I could only become one of the Whitmans and marry Jeremy if the dead could come back to life. Now, as a ‘dead person’, I’m standing in front of you. How is it? Are you surprised?”“...”Karen felt her heart skip a beat. She stood up from the chair in terror. “Y-Y-You’re not Vera Quinn!”Madeline smiled nonchalantly. “It’s only been three years. Did you

Before this, Madeline already knew how to face everyone.However, when she looked at the white-haired Old Master Whitman in front of her, she felt an ache in her heart. However, she still looked into his eyes calmly.“Grandpa, you’re right. I am Maddie.”She finally admitted this to the old master. She could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes.“Grandpa, thank you for trusting and supporting me in all those years. You were the only person who’s good to me in this family. I will remember this forever.”Old Master Whitman walked in front of Madeline slowly with the support of his cane. His aged and murky eyes looked at her dotingly and understandingly.“Child, you’re finally admitting it. I’m happy.”Looking at the old master’s loving gaze, Madeline felt apologetic all of a sudden. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’m afraid that I’m going to disappoint you.”“No. I’m happy to see the new you.” The old master lifted his hand and grabbed Madeline’s hand. His palm was cold, but he was

Despite Madeline being surprised about Jeremy’s early return, she remained calm. She even had a thought-provoking smile on her face.The man walked over to her, the icy aura around him making him look as domineering as a tyrant. Everything around him was only serving as props now.He was looking straight ahead as if he could not see the other people in the room. His dark eyes only reflected Madeline’s beautiful face.He walked forward, and with every step, his heartbeat accelerated until he got in front of Madeline.After one of the shareholders came back to his senses, he said, “You’re back just in time, Mr. Whitman. Your wife said—”“All of you, get out.”Jeremy interrupted him coldly, his eyes still glued on Madeline’s face.The shareholders were looking at each other in confusion. However, they still walked out.Madeline and Jeremy were the only ones left in the large meeting room now.Madeline said as she broke the silence, “You’re back so quickly. Since that’s the case,

Madeline finished saying that without hesitation. Her piercing gaze scanned across Jeremy’s face before she strode away.Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand, causing her to stop in her tracks. She peered at him with a cold gaze. “What’s wrong? Do you want to punish me with your barbaric ways? Jeremy, I’m not that Madeline who’d allow you to insult and humiliate her anymore. I’m not afraid of you!”She looked into the man’s deep eyes fearlessly. There was an invulnerable expression in her eyes that made her look as domineering and arrogant as a monarch.Jeremy was not angry. His passionate eyes were glued on Madeline’s flawless face as he looked straight at her.Actually, he already knew the things she told him were just lies.He would only have the chance to get close to her as long as he continued lying to himself.Eventually, this day still came crashing on him.After staying silent, Jeremy said with a small smile on his face, “I have a question for you.”Madeline looked at the
