Jeremy’s face became colder. “Madeline, I’m asking you to sign the papers.”
“I won’t do it,” Madeline finally said, virtual-novel.net tone sounding oddly calm.
Jeremy saw Madeline sitting in front of virtual-novel.net coldly and motionlessly while virtual-novel.net eyes were on somewhere else. She did not once look into his eyes. Jeremy felt anger rising in his chest. “Madeline, don’t try to challenge my patience. You know the consequences to that.”
When virtual-novel.net was faced with his threats and warnings, Madeline did not have any fear on virtual-novel.net face. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net smiled.
“Jeremy, I’ll tell you this one last time. I won’t sign your divorce papers. If you want to marry Meredith, sure. Then you should just wait for me to sue you for bigamy.”
“Madeline Crawford!” Jeremy was completely enraged. “I’m going to ask you one last time as well. Are you signing or not?”
“No!” Madeline said firmly.
Jeremy’s face became icy. When virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline was still acting arrogant and refusing to look at him, virtual-novel.net strode over to virtual-novel.net and forced the pen into virtual-novel.net hand. Then, virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net right hand tightly.
“Jeremy, what are you doing? Let me go!” Madeline started struggling.
“Didn’t you refuse to sign? I’ll help you do it then!” His frigid and menacing voice next to virtual-novel.net ear sounded like the final nail in the coffin for her.
Madeline struggled with all virtual-novel.net might, but the more virtual-novel.net struggled, the more pain virtual-novel.net was in. Her worsening tumor and virtual-novel.net heart were all in debilitating pain at this moment.
“Jeremy, you beast! I won’t let you and Meredith have your way even if I die!” She pushed virtual-novel.net away forcefully and turned around to run.
For someone who had lost virtual-novel.net vision, every step virtual-novel.net took was extremely dangerous.
Before Madeline could run far, virtual-novel.net tripped on something and fell heavily. Pain overwhelmed virtual-novel.net entire body.
When virtual-novel.net wanted to get up, Jeremy’s huge body loomed over her.
Madeline could not see anything. As such, virtual-novel.net could only sense a black shadow coming down on virtual-novel.net and trapping virtual-novel.net mercilessly.
Jeremy did not notice something was wrong with Madeline’s eyes. He placed his knee on virtual-novel.net back and grabbed the divorce papers. Placing them in front of Madeline, virtual-novel.net threw the pen down.
“Madeline, don’t make this harder than it should be. As long as you sign the papers like a good girl, I’ll give you some money.”
“I don’t want your money!”
“Then what do you want? Are you still so naive to think that I have feelings for you even until now?”
His words froze her.
“Madeline, listen here. I’ve never liked you, let alone loved. Not even a little bit.”
His cruel words left no room for maneuver, penetrating Madeline’s heart like a heartless blade.
She could feel a dull pain in virtual-novel.net heart as the familiar metallic taste of blood started rising in virtual-novel.net throat again.
“Don’t waste my time. After you sign the papers, I’ll go prepare for my engagement with Mer. If you don’t want to sign, then just think about your grandfather’s ashes.”
“Hehe…” Madeline laughed lamentably. Her eyes that had lost all light were already red and wet. “Alright, I’ll sign.”
She finally agreed. She fumbled for the pen in the dark with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net swallowed the blood in virtual-novel.net mouth resolutely.
“Jeremy, just as you wish, you’re finally going to marry her. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”
When Jeremy heard virtual-novel.net saying that, virtual-novel.net felt a sudden chill in his heart. A strange feeling was bubbling in his heart as it started beating erratically.
He looked at Madeline who was holding in the pain while touching the papers with virtual-novel.net left hand over and over again. Even after a long while, virtual-novel.net had not signed the papers.
“Madeleine, are you still trying to fool around?”
Madeline smiled bitterly and lamentably. “Mr. Whitman, I’m blind. I can’t see.”
“You’re blind?” Jeremy thought virtual-novel.net was lying to virtual-novel.net to buy time. He scoffed and replied, “Alright, since you’re blind, I’ll help you.”
