Just then, the man who was chasing them appeared before them. Realizing this, Madeline took Jeremy’s hand and turned again. “Let’s leave.” Jeremy followed decisively, but his height and ethereal appearance made it easy for him to be picked out from the crowd. The man chased after them. Without hesitation, Madeline pulled Jeremy onto a tourist bus that was passing by. By the time the group chased over, the bus had begun to move. They were temporarily safe. Madeline let out a sigh of relief. The bus jostled, and with a hand holding the bouquet, she felt herself fall before she could grab the railing. She had not fallen, though, as Jeremy managed to catch her by the waist. She found herself being held in his broad chest as his long arms came to settle around her waist. It all felt so natural.As far as others were concerned, the two looked the epitome of a sickly-sweet couple. “Out of the two groups that chased after us, is there anyone you recognize?” Jeremy whispered.

Madeline stared at the frowning man confusedly. “It plagued me back then whether you were truly blind to Meredith’s pitiful act. Yet your actions have been telling me that you knew what she was doing and still you defended her because of how much you loved her.“What I never expected was that the reason behind your blind acceptance was a result of the promise you made to me when we were young.“It had not occurred to me that you would take a childhood joke so seriously to the point of ignoring what was right and wrong, all just to keep the vow.”Madeline found Jeremy staring deeply at her. “It wasn’t a joke. I promised you something, Linnie, and I’ll do everything I can to fulfill it, but that doesn’t change the fact that I was blinded.” Just then, Felicity walked out of the manor and was sent home in a private car. Jeremy and Madeline recollected their feelings and followed behind. However, due to Jeremy’s unfamiliarity with F Country’s roads, they lost sight of the private car

“If you may, Miss Quinn.” The bodyguard opened the door. It seemed that regardless of her willingness, they were not going to let her leave. Just as she was forced into the car, Madeline found Jeremy waiting by the hotel gates with a warm smile and a bouquet of baby’s breath. He arrived three minutes after her. They would have met had she not been forced into the car. Felicity’s gaze fell on Jeremy as well. “What a shame. Looks like you aren’t destined, after all.” Madeline grew cold. Felicity knew about the bet she made with Jeremy moments ago. Felicity smiled at Madeline’s shocked expression. “Looks like you don’t know anything about Felipe at all, Eveline.” “What do you mean?” “Hmph.” Felicity scoffed, her gaze hardening. “You’ll know soon enough.” Then, the car drove away. Staring at Jeremy who stood by the hotel gates, Madeline felt a heavy weight of loss fall over her heart. She wanted to roll down the window to call after him, but the windows were locked

“Move!” Madeline’s tone was cold and sharp. Felicity was stunned for two seconds by Madeline’s aura, and by the time she snapped back to reality, she quickly went to hold Madeline back. “Stand there, Eveline…” Madeline caught her arm back, interrupting Felicity. She glared coldly at her. “I’m warning you, do not stand in my way.” “...” Stunned by Madeline’s aura and with the other flinging her hand, Felicity staggered before falling onto the floor. Madeline paid Felicity no attention and ran toward the door. Pulling open the gates, she found a limited edition black car parked right in front. Felipe alighted the car, his expression gentle and soft. However, his eyes no longer held the softness they once did. “You don’t need to go to the scene. It’s already too late.” He walked toward Madeline. “Jeremy is already dead.” Madeline’s heart felt as if it was ripped to shreds, and her eyes reddened as she mocked lightly. “You’re elated, aren’t you? Felipe Whitman, he’s your

‘I still love you even after I’ve gotten my revenge.’Madeline had no idea when she fell asleep, but the sky was already dark when she woke. She left the villa and made her way to Montgomery Manor. Eloise and Sean were elated at her return. However, they could not help but feel worried when they took in Madeline’s downcasted expression. “Are you still hurting due to what happened with Lillian, Eveline?” Madeline felt her heart clench. “Jeremy’s dead.” “Wh-What? Jeremy’s dead?” Eloise and Sean could not believe their ears. “He flew back a few days ago, but his flight crashed.” “His flight crashed? How could that be? There wasn't any news of the like.” Eloise and Sean were confused. Madeline halted. “There wasn’t?” “Not at all. We didn’t hear about any accidents pertaining to any airlines as well.” Sean confirmed. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Eveline?” Madeline felt her heart skip a beat as she pulled out her phone to check for relevant news only to find nothin
