Madeline was uncomfortable when virtual-novel.net felt Jeremy approach her. When virtual-novel.net was near, virtual-novel.net said, “I heard that Uncle Felipe originally wanted to use this piece of land to build a resort for Mrs. Whitman? Really sorry about that. I want to use this piece of land to build a castle for my most beloved woman too.”
He looked at Madeline on purpose even though virtual-novel.net was not looking at him.
“I hope that one day, my beloved woman can live in that castle and be a carefree princess. I’m willing to unconditionally protect her, guard her, and be virtual-novel.net knight for life.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Yvette approached Jeremy and said sweetly, “Jeremy, you’re so kind to me.”
Madeline turned virtual-novel.net face away as virtual-novel.net was torn with grief. She smiled at Felipe as virtual-novel.net held back virtual-novel.net heartache. “I’m hungry, Felipe. Can we get something to eat?”
“Okay.” Felipe smiled and stood up, looking at Jeremy with a calm expression. “It seems that I’ve underestimated my nephew’s ability. When Whitman Corporation had the handover, it seems that nothing bad happened to you.”
Jeremy smiled nonchalantly, his gaze still lingering on Madeline’s face. “I’ve also underestimated your abilities, Uncle Felipe. I can’t believe that the woman I’ve tried so desperately to get has fallen into your arms.”
When Madeline heard Jeremy’s sarcasm, virtual-novel.net smiled indifferently. She gently pulled Felipe’s arm and turned around.
Before Felipe turned around, his dark eyes glanced across Yvette who was standing next to Jeremy.
Yvette raised the corners of virtual-novel.net lips and smiled politely at Felipe. Her dimples on the sides of virtual-novel.net lips made Felipe look at virtual-novel.net for a couple more seconds.
After leaving the hotel, Felipe sent Madeline to the car. “I’ll get someone to send you back to the villa first.”
“I want to go back to my parents’ house,” Madeline said coldly.
Felipe pondered thoughtfully for a moment. “You can go back, but—”
“You don’t have to warn me again. For Lilian’s safety, I won’t say anything.”
“Eveline, I don’t mean to threaten you. I just want to keep you by my side.” Felipe furrowed his eyebrows and opened the door for Madeline.
Madeline did not say much to virtual-novel.net and got in the car.
Her stomach was still writhing as virtual-novel.net mind replayed what Jeremy said that night.
Her eyes looked down as virtual-novel.net stared at the night view outside the car window and remembered how hard virtual-novel.net had hugged virtual-novel.net while telling her, “Linnie, I love you. I really love you.”
Now, virtual-novel.net was hugging another woman, telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would build a castle for virtual-novel.net and treat virtual-novel.net like a princess.
Eloise and Sean were watching the news in the living room. Suddenly, a servant rushed in to report to them, “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, Miss is back!”
“Who?” Eloise and Sean thought they had heard virtual-novel.net wrongly.
“Miss Eveline is back!” the servant exclaimed.
Eloise and Sean stood up quickly. When they were walking out, Madeline had already walked in.
“Eveline, when did you come back? Why are you dressed so formally? Where did you go?” Eloise was overjoyed. The woman virtual-novel.net was looking at was like a dazzling princess who shone very beautifully.
Madeline said coldly on purpose, “I just arrived today and went to a bidding event with Felipe.”
“Is it that bidding event? I heard that that piece of land was sold at 5.2 billion.”
“Yes, Jeremy won the last bid.”
“Jeremy?” Eloise and Sean seemed shocked. ‘Didn’t Jeremy go bankrupt?’
“I’m a little tired. I’ll head back to my room and rest first.” Madeline did not say much because virtual-novel.net was not sure who Felipe’s people were who were sent to watch her.
She felt that Felipe was watching everything virtual-novel.net said and did except when virtual-novel.net went to the bathroom and to bed.
Eloise and Sean did not dare to ask more questions because they could tell that Madeline was not in a good mood.
Just after Madeline lay down in virtual-novel.net room, a notification for a reminder rang, reminding virtual-novel.net that the day after tomorrow was the death anniversary of virtual-novel.net grandfather, Len, who raised her.
“Grandpa…” virtual-novel.net said softly as virtual-novel.net heart started aching.
