“Is this Miss Montgomery? I finally get the honor of meeting you tonight.”
“Eveline, this is Sir Calver. He’s the previous chairman of our charity. He’s also your father’s good friend.” Eloise introduced.
Madeline smiled politely and shook hands with Sir Calver. “Hello, Uncle Calver.”
“Hello, hello. Miss Eveline, you’re so beautiful. The dinner tonight will be dazzling because of you. I wonder if I can ask you to play a song for us as the opening act for the charity dinner?”
“Play a song?” Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net gaze to see a black piano in front of her.
Karen smirked. She was excited to see Madeline mess this up. “Hmph, you were humiliating me just now. Finally, it’s your turn.”
Yvonne walked over. “Aunty Karen, does Madeline know how to play the piano?”
“She doesn’t know squat! She was like a maid when virtual-novel.net was living with the Crawfords. Do you think virtual-novel.net was able to touch something as expensive as a piano? If that piece of trash didn’t have Jeremy, then she’d be nothing!” Karen gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and jeered.
A sinister smile appeared on Yvonne’s face as well. “Hmph, virtual-novel.net was so arrogant and proud of herself just now. I’m gonna have the time of my life humiliating virtual-novel.net later.”
However, after virtual-novel.net finished saying that, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline sashaying over to the piano elegantly. She sat down, and virtual-novel.net long fingers pressed down on the keys.
As virtual-novel.net fingers glided against the keys expertly, ‘Mariage d’amour’ resonated in the hall soothingly and melodically.
Karen and Yvonne were beyond shocked.
Had they not established that Madeline was a piece of trash who knew squat about playing the piano? Then, what was this virtual-novel.net was playing now?
After their shock, Yvonne was even more envious of her. Madeline was stunning with virtual-novel.net gorgeous look and elegant demeanor. She could not imagine anything more beautiful right now.
Madeline sat there as virtual-novel.net basked in the light glow of the chandelier. She looked like a princess, or rather, a queen in a dream as virtual-novel.net ruled over everything in front of her.
Jeremy watched Madeline with love and admiration. However, there was a hint of loneliness coming from his eyes.
Madeline and Jeremy left before the dinner ended.
The inside of the car was abnormally quiet on the way home.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s frigid face through the rear-view mirror. Then, his hands felt nervous as they gripped the steering wheel.
“Linnie,” virtual-novel.net called out softly. When Madeline turned over, virtual-novel.net could not hide the sharp glint in virtual-novel.net eyes anymore. “You remember, don’t you?”
Madeline smiled after staying silent for two seconds. “Shouldn’t you ask me if I’ve shifted my personality?”
She laughed, virtual-novel.net tone getting more and more sarcastic.
“Jeremy, I really need to thank your amazing mother and cousin. They were the ones who triggered my current personality so that I no longer have to be stuck as that idiot Madeline who’s so easy to bully and who loves you so much that virtual-novel.net would sacrifice herself.”
After virtual-novel.net finished saying that, Jeremy slammed on the brakes frantically.
When the car came to a halt, Madeline undid virtual-novel.net seatbelt and got out of the car.
Jeremy ran up to virtual-novel.net and grabbed virtual-novel.net hand. “Linnie, don’t go!” virtual-novel.net begged.
Madeline pushed virtual-novel.net away coldly, virtual-novel.net eyes icy. “Get lost!”
When virtual-novel.net pushed Jeremy away and turned around, two cars sped in front of virtual-novel.net and crashed into each other as if they had timed this perfectly.
After the loud crash, Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net legs had been injected with lead. She could not move anymore.
“Linnie!” Jeremy ran over quickly to hold Madeline’s shoulders.
However, Madeline stood motionlessly as virtual-novel.net stared at the car crash. After a while, Madeline held virtual-novel.net head in pain. Broken fragments of virtual-novel.net memories started playing in virtual-novel.net head.
“Ah!”
She let out a scream of pain before passing out in Jeremy’s arms.
“Linnie!” Jeremy held Madeline while feeling heartbroken. A figure appeared suddenly as virtual-novel.net was about to carry Madeline to the hospital.
Felipe was standing in front of the car that had its hazard lights on. He was wearing all black, and the blinking lights enveloped virtual-novel.net with a golden sheen. He looked at Jeremy who had a worried expression on his face before smirking demonically.
“Just in time,” Felipe said profoundly.
Jeremy understood immediately. “Did you arrange for the cars to crash?”
“Isn’t this good? Madeline will revert to the Madeline who loves you deeply. Isn’t that what you want?”
Jeremy’s eyes were red. “Felipe, are you insane? Even if I want Linnie to love me, I won’t let virtual-novel.net suffer such pain deliberately! Why did you do that?”
“Why?” Felipe displayed an eerie smile. Then, virtual-novel.net said…
