Immediately, Madeline had a lot of questions in her head. However, she did not have answers to any of them.After sitting on the bed silently for some time, she finally went to change and wash up.When she was washing up, she saw her true face in the mirror. The light in her eyes became slightly duller.She put back her mask and left her room to look for Eloise.Coincidentally when she walked past the corridor, she saw Jeremy walking out of the study.The man’s tall and slender figure was walking over elegantly. His extraordinary aura and temperament touched Madeline’s heart. At this moment, Madeline’s eyes met Jeremy’s.Madeline’s heart started racing for some reason after recalling what happened in the study last night. However, after looking into Jeremy’s eyes, Madeline did not know how to avert her gaze any more.Her heart was beating frantically, but the man seemed unmoved. His lively eyes were looking into hers calmly.Madeline started to feel even more confused about

“It feels like a waste if I don’t hire you as my secretary,” Jeremy said as if he was feeling rueful. Suddenly, he walked over to Madeline and said, “Do you want to be my secretary? The kind who’s always around me no matter the time and place?”“...”Madeline felt as if she had never seen Jeremy like this before. He was saying this in such a serious manner and yet there was a frivolous smirk on his handsome face.This should not be the expression he should have.Madeline had nothing to say to that. However, Jeremy took one step closer to her.His body towered over hers, and his aura that was like a shadow quickly enveloped Madeline.Madeline sensed that something was amiss with Jeremy. She took a step back, but Jeremy suddenly grabbed her wrist.“Are you declining my invitation?” There was a smile on his lips, and beneath his bottomless eyes, there was an unclear sense of sentiment.Madeline tried to control herself and pretended to be calm. “Mr. Whitman, you’re different from

“Are you only treating me like this because my eyes look like your wife’s, Mr. Whitman?”“I told you, it’s the feeling.”Jeremy emphasized seriously. He tilted his handsome face down and approached the space between Madeline’s neck and shoulder. While she was not paying attention, he planted a soft kiss on her neck.Madeline felt a surge of strong electricity across her heart, and she knew she had been successfully seduced by Jeremy.“Don’t you think you’re letting your wife Eveline down by doing this, Mr. Whitman?”“I don’t think so.”“...”Jeremy’s direct answer caused Madeline to be speechless.‘Jeremy, you b*stard. How dare you say no when you didn’t even stop to think about it.”Bang!Madeline slammed the coffee cup in her hand down and escaped from Jeremy’s arms.“I won’t serve you and make you coffee anymore. I also won’t stay with you the entire night to help you reorganize your documents!” After Madeline roared furiously, she pushed the man in front of her away and

“Shameless?” Madeline snorted and asked, “I think the behavior of barging here and calling oneself the matriarch of the family with thick skin even when one knows the man doesn’t like her is even more shameless, don’t you think?”“...”“...”Ada’s stunning face was covered with dark clouds after she heard what Madeline said.Of course, she knew Madeline was mocking her!She immediately looked at her mother.Ada’s mother understood quickly and retorted Madeline angrily, “You freak! You don’t even have the right to stand here and you have the audacity to talk big to me? Who are you? Do you know who we are?“Hmph! How dare a disfigured woman like you be so delusional to think that you’ll have a chance to end up with Carter? You’re having such an unrealistic dream!’’The woman rattled off, and everything she said sounded extremely ear-piercing.Madeline noticed Carter’s mother frowning. It was as if she also could not stand Ada’s mother acting like a shrew in front of her.Howeve

Camille knew what this woman was trying to do because she was siding with Ada and her mother. “Carter, since you’re dating Miss Montgomery, then shouldn’t you let me see what she looks like? She’s a little disrespectful for having the mask on this whole time, don’t you think?”Carter looked at Madeline after he heard that. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to grab Madeline’s hand.Madeline could not escape from him, and her hand was hurting from his grip.“Eveline hurt her face in an accident and hasn’t recovered yet. I hope you can understand, Mom.”“She hasn’t recovered yet? How long has it been? Will she never recover?” Camille asked continuously, and her expression suddenly looked very solemn. “Carter, you should know the first rule for every daughter-in-law of the Louis family is that they have to have a dignified and fitting appearance.”Actually, Madeline did not mind their standards for their daughters-in-law. After all, she was just a person Carter was using. Besides, she
