This was understandable.Lillian was his daughter, so how could he be fine with someone else hurting his daughter?However, not all fathers loved their children.Cathy scoffed in sarcasm. When she thought about the two children Felipe killed, she felt debilitating pain in her heart.Felipe walked out of the room. When he saw Cathy spacing out, his eyes darkened.“Come with me,” he ordered. However, he only saw Cathy looking at him with resentment in her eyes. “What? Are you scared that Jeremy can’t come back? You know who the Stygian Johnsons are, and indeed, I want him to never come back.”“You’re a devil.” Cathy’s eyes were filled with contempt.Felipe pulled her to him, his handsome features looking icy. “The Whitmans owe me this.”“Even if Old Master Whitman was at fault, you shouldn’t blame Jeremy. You keep thinking that others have wronged you, but now I see it all clearly. You’re just jealous of Jeremy, and you’re jealous that he’s better than you at everything!”“Shut

“Looking for your daughter? Who’s your daughter?” “Lillian Whitman.” Jeremy raised his frosty gaze. “The four-year-old girl you Stygian Johnsons stole from Felipe’s outer courtyard.” Confused, Yorick leaned over to quietly ask Fabian, who stood beside him, about what was happening. Watching the two whisper between themselves, Jeremy demanded coldly, “Give my daughter back to me.” Yorick quirked an eyebrow and chuckled. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to return your daughter. However, a price must be paid.” “Stop!” Yorick was about to go for Jeremy’s life when a woman’s voice suddenly called for them to halt. Her voice shot through Jeremy’s gloomy heart like a warm ray of sunshine. He quickly turned his head to stare at the woman who was striding toward him. “Linnie.” “Why are you here, Jeremy?” Madeline stared at the man in front of her with concern. “Didn’t I tell you to rest in the hospital?” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand with excitement shining in his eyes. “It’s L

She turned around in shock and was met with Jeremy’s frosty expression. “Jer-Jeremy…” She stared frantically at the man walking toward her. Pushing Madeline’s hand away, she turned and ran only to have something hold her by the neck again the next second. Meredith had just taken two full breaths when the feeling of suffocation overcame her again. Jeremy’s fingers were like icicles, seeping into her skin and causing Meredith to shiver. It felt like Jeremy was truly about to kill her. Anger oozed from the man as his grip tightened. The strength he exerted was enough to reopen the wound on his shoulder, causing blood to seep out. Madeline immediately grabbed Jeremy’s hand. “Let go of her, Jeremy.” She persuaded him not because she pitied Meredith and not because she did not want Jeremy to face murder charges because of such a person, but rather because her heart hurt to see his injuries worsen. Jeremy had no desire to let go. She could feel the killing intent ooze from hi

Madeline’s pupils darkened as she pierced her gaze into Meredith’s wretched expression. She flung her away heavily. “You’re right, the Stygian Johnsons may not dare to do so, but I do!” What? Stunned, Meredith watched Madeline stride away as it dawned on her that she had just revealed Lillian’s location. Jeremy had already used this trick on her back then in court, but she did not expect Madeline to use it on her. She even fell for it again! Meredith climbed up to block Madeline, only to be kicked back by a bodyguard at the door. She lay on the floor in agony and spit out a mouthful of blood. Watching Madeline leave coolly, she no longer had the strength to stand. Madeline and Jeremy made their way to Felipe’s manor in record time. Felipe was not surprised to know that they had arrived. The sight of Madeline standing with Jeremy irked him. A mocking smirk graced his lips as he stared at Madeline, the woman who would never belong to him again. “Despite hurting you so d

She had heard everything he said. She could feel the regret and remorse oozing from Jeremy, as well as his internal conflict when it came to forgiving himself. Staring at his back that was mere inches away, Madeline no longer felt that they were miles apart. Leaning over, she lifted her arm to hold Jeremy from behind. Deep within his own self-blaming throes, Jeremy was stunned when he felt Madeline suddenly pulling him into a hug. Warmth seeped into his chest. “I know you can’t forgive yourself for the things you’ve done to me, but I mean it when I told you I don’t hate you anymore. “Let’s just live happily together for the rest of our days, Jeremy.” Madeline’s clear voice drifted into Jeremy’s ears, falling into his heart like melodic notes. He turned to face her, his chiseled features against Madeline's ethereal and small face. The two pairs of eyes locked. They were engulfed in comfortable silence. His slender finger traced her brows as he got lost in her beauty.
