Rose had heard Jeremy and Meredith’s conversation earlier, but virtual-novel.net did not expect it to get exposed so quickly.
She comforted Meredith, saying, “Mer, you can’t admit defeat now. You have to get the position of Mrs. Whitman! Not only is it a symbol of status, but it’ll also give you limitless wealth!”
Rose’s eyes were filled with greed. There was a hint of savageness in virtual-novel.net eyes. “I’ll take care of that Vera Quinn for you.”
After venting for a while, Meredith touched virtual-novel.net wounded face while virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
“Of course, I won’t admit defeat so easily! I’ll kill anyone who dares to steal my man away from me!”
Her eyes were filled with venom. Sinister ruses were starting to appear behind virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Hmph, Vera Quinn, I’ll let my mother teach you a lesson. But it’s not you, Mom. It’s Eloise!”
…
Jeremy drove away from the hospital and arrived at a location somewhere.
During his drive here, virtual-novel.net felt like a puppet with no senses nor thoughts. He drove apathetically while his brain was only filled with what Meredith said just now.
She was the one who ruined Madeline’s face.
Heh.
Jeremy was expressionless, but virtual-novel.net was smiling sarcastically deep down.
After a while, his limited edition sports car stopped in front of an old apartment.
Jeremy went upstairs and into a unit.
This was Madeline’s house before virtual-novel.net passed. He had bought it for double the price.
Three years had passed and all traces of virtual-novel.net were now gone.
However, as if it was an unhealthy obsession, virtual-novel.net was still reluctant to leave this place. He kept everything here intact. Whenever virtual-novel.net missed Madeline, virtual-novel.net would either go to the cemetery and talk to himself in front of the tombstone, or virtual-novel.net would come here—even though virtual-novel.net knew that everything virtual-novel.net did was futile.
It was too late.
Looking at the empty house, virtual-novel.net remembered that this was where virtual-novel.net first saw Madeline with the scars on virtual-novel.net face.
It was also here where virtual-novel.net collapsed onto the floor and desperately pleaded with him. However, virtual-novel.net had mocked virtual-novel.net for playing the victim to make virtual-novel.net pity her. Then, virtual-novel.net even threw all of virtual-novel.net painkillers into the toilet before ripping apart the gauze that was covering the wound on virtual-novel.net face.
‘Maddie, it must have hurt a lot, right?
‘I, Jeremy Whitman, was so cruel to you.’
He chuckled in self-mockery. Then, virtual-novel.net read Madeline’s diary again.
He could only find the evidence of Madeline’s love for virtual-novel.net between the lines of virtual-novel.net handwriting. It was only in this way could virtual-novel.net find some sense of comfort even if it was temporary or fake.
Jeremy stayed here for the entire day and even spent the night here. He ignored all of the calls virtual-novel.net received during this period.
When virtual-novel.net was about to leave, virtual-novel.net received a call from Whitman Manor.
He thought the old master needed to tell virtual-novel.net something. When virtual-novel.net answered the call, virtual-novel.net heard his mother berating virtual-novel.net furiously, “Jeremy, why didn’t you answer your phone for the entire day? Why are you ignoring Mer when such a huge thing has happened to her?”
When virtual-novel.net heard Meredith’s name, virtual-novel.net frowned in frustration. He scoffed before saying, “A huge thing?”
“Of course, it’s huge! A woman’s face is so important!” his mother said without even taking the time to think.
Jeremy chuckled coldly. He did not want to say anything more. When virtual-novel.net was about to hang up, his mother said weirdly, “Jeremy, I don’t care where you are right now. You have to come back to the manor. We have an ‘important guest’ here.”
Important guest?
It was obvious that his mother was being sarcastic when virtual-novel.net said that.
He asked virtual-novel.net who it was, and after hearing virtual-novel.net answer, Jeremy raised his brows before rushing back to the manor.
