“If this will make Madeline feel better, anything is possible.”
“W-What? Jeremy, what did you say?” Karen widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock. “You despise that woman so much, so why are you… Did you really fall in love with Madeline?”
Jeremy did not answer Karen. However, his softened gaze was the best answer.
“I’ll find a suitable place for you to move out soon. Don’t annoy me if there’s nothing urgent.”
After virtual-novel.net finished saying that, virtual-novel.net turned around to leave. However, virtual-novel.net stopped when virtual-novel.net saw the old master in front of him.
Old Master Whitman was holding his cane, and although his shrunken face looked strict, his eyes were still benevolent.
“Follow me,” virtual-novel.net said to Jeremy before turning around.
Jeremy hesitated for two seconds before following after him.
Study.
Old Master Whitman was facing the grey sky outside the french window. After a long while, virtual-novel.net sighed.
“What are you going to do now?”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve lost Whitman Corporation but I’ll definitely get it back.”
Jeremy looked at the old master’s back and gave virtual-novel.net a determined answer.
The old master sighed again before turning around. “I don’t want to know about this. You should know what I’m asking about.”
Jeremy was silent. He knew that the old master was asking about Madeline.
The old master held his cane and walked over to Jeremy, saying, “You know some things that other people don’t. You came to me when you married Maddie. You begged me to officiate this marriage.”
Jeremy’s heart skipped a beat when the old master brought up what happened six years ago.
Then, virtual-novel.net heard the old master talking again.
“Everyone, including Maddie, thought that you were forced by an old fart to marry a woman you don’t love. However, in reality, you know the reason why you married Maddie.”
After virtual-novel.net heard that, a hint of panic appeared in Jeremy’s eyes.
He looked like a child who had made a mistake. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net was at a loss.
Old Master Whitman looked disdainfully at Jeremy in rumination. “You liked Maddie from a very long time ago. In order to prevent other people from stealing virtual-novel.net away from you, you decided to marry virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net can become Mrs. Whitman. However, why didn’t you admit it? Why did you want to torture virtual-novel.net and hurt her?”
Jeremy curled the corners of his lips into a bitter smile when virtual-novel.net was faced with the old master’s questions. “I was wrong.”
“Make amends and make things right if you know you’re at fault.”
“She won’t forgive me,” Jeremy said, “She doesn’t love me anymore.”
When virtual-novel.net said this, Jeremy felt as if his heart was being gnawed by a million ants. He was the only one who could feel the debilitating pain.
“I don’t know if Maddie still loves you, but I know virtual-novel.net won’t be able to get too close to Felipe.”
When Jeremy heard that, virtual-novel.net lifted his head. “Grandpa, what secrets does Felipe have? Why do I feel like he’s very hostile toward me?”
