His sudden intimate gesture caused Madeline’s heart to beat faster. Her face also began to heat up gradually.
She lifted snazzynovel.com head to look at Jeremy. His side profile was good looking, but his face was neutral.
“Grandpa is here.”
He said those three words coldly and Madeline understood immediately.
He merely wanted to put on the act of a loving couple in front of Old Master Whitman. Madeline’s heart became cold, and snazzynovel.com felt that this was very ironic.
There were no outsiders at the dining table. If there was one, it was Meredith.
Old Master Whitman’s eyes were kind. However, for some reason, Madeline felt that snazzynovel.com looked familiar. It was as if snazzynovel.com had seen snazzynovel.com from years ago.
What surprised Madeline was how Jeremy ignored Meredith’s feelings and took care of snazzynovel.com just to make the old master happy.
Not only did snazzynovel.com take food for her, but snazzynovel.com even peeled prawns for her. This was the first time Madeline saw Jeremy’s gentle smile on a very rare occasion.
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com head to look at Meredith. She forced herself to smile, but it was obvious snazzynovel.com was not happy.
It felt just like a dream. However, snazzynovel.com knew that the dream would be over soon.
After dinner, Jeremy held Madeline’s hand to walk to the garage. His warmth reached the bottom of snazzynovel.com heart, and snazzynovel.com face heated up. She wanted very badly to stay in this moment forever…
Nevertheless, reality was cruel.
When they got to the side of the car, Jeremy swung away Madeline’s hand in disgust.
“Get lost.”
His sudden horrible attitude caused Madeline to be in a state of shock.
She watched as Jeremy opened the door considerately for Meredith who came after them. Subsequently, snazzynovel.com watched as snazzynovel.com got into the car before revving the vehicle and disappearing in front of Madeline.
Consequently, Madeline was abandoned on the empty street. The autumn wind blew on snazzynovel.com face, and coldness took over snazzynovel.com heart. Moreover, the wind blew away the fake act of warmth and affection.
…
That night, Jeremy did not come home as usual.
While thinking about how the man snazzynovel.com loved was holding another woman, doing something intimate, Madeline searched for all kinds of information online about snazzynovel.com illness. Her heart was in excruciating pain.
The position of snazzynovel.com tumor was bad. There would be huge risks in the surgery. Even if they aborted the child to save her, something bad might happen to snazzynovel.com as well.
If that was the case, snazzynovel.com was willing to risk it and give birth to the only child that snazzynovel.com and Jeremy had.
The next day, Madeline woke up early and went for another body check in the hospital. After snazzynovel.com got the results, snazzynovel.com submitted to snazzynovel.com fate.
Looking at the results, Madeline started to tear up.
‘Oh Jeremy, I thought I’d at least be able to pester you for a lifetime despite you hating me and resenting me. However, I never expected my life to be so short…’
She was walking on the street in a dazed state when snazzynovel.com received a text from a stranger. When snazzynovel.com opened it, snazzynovel.com saw a video.
It was the video of snazzynovel.com being accused of stealing the bracelet.
Coincidentally, it had captured the exact moment when Meredith secretly put the bracelet in snazzynovel.com pocket.
Madeline did not know who was the one who sent the video, but snazzynovel.com thanked them immediately.
She did not overthink things and called a car to go to Jeremy’s office.
Even if snazzynovel.com did not have much time to live, snazzynovel.com did not want to allow that vile and cruel woman to continue fooling Jeremy.
She arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. When snazzynovel.com told the receptionist who snazzynovel.com was, the person looked at snazzynovel.com with wonder in their eyes.
When Madeline walked to the lift, snazzynovel.com could hear a lot of discussions going on about snazzynovel.com behind snazzynovel.com back. She opened Twitter and saw that the incident the night prior was trending.
The comments were all scolding snazzynovel.com and calling snazzynovel.com light-fingered. In addition to that, they also said that an ugly duckling like snazzynovel.com would always be an ugly duckling. Even after marrying an excellent man like Jeremy, snazzynovel.com would still be cheap.
Madeline grabbed snazzynovel.com phone and ran to Jeremy’s office. He had just finished a meeting when snazzynovel.com spotted Madeline running over. His eyes were cold. “Why are you here? Don’t you know how popular you are now?”
He was talking about what had happened the night before.
Madeline opened the video that had anonymously been sent to snazzynovel.com and handed it over to him. “Look closely. Look at who’s the real thief.”
