Chapter 480

“Really.” Jeremy nodded. “Trust me.”

His voice was deep but gentle. Madeline looked at him like she was at a loss. After a while, she came back to her senses and pushed Jeremy’s hands away in dissatisfaction.

“Remember what you said. Don’t make me hate you more.” She turned around and walked away after saying that.

Jeremy watched as Madeline walked away. All of a sudden, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart. His mind was occupied with Madeline’s love for him and the admiration she had for him in her eyes.

However, all those were in the past. They had become faded memories now…

That night, Madeline could not sleep.

She could not wait to see her child who was induced and stolen from her.

She imagined the child’s face. What would she look like?

She had to be extremely adorable.

Despite her hatred toward Jeremy, she could not deny that he had extremely good looks. She looked pretty decent as well. As such, their child would not look too bad with their genes combined.

However, Madeline did not expect that Jeremy knew that the child was alive.

Did he know that the child was still alive at that time?

If so, what did he spread in front of her at the cemetery?

His cruel and tyrannical behavior was still replaying in her mind. He had not looked like he was pretending.

What was going on?

Madeline fell asleep with those questions in her head.

The next day.

She was woken up by the ringtone of her phone in her slumber.

Felipe’s voice was deep and heavy with sleep. He greeted her and invited her to go to Whitman Corporation for a board meeting with him.

Madeline agreed. Before leaving, she called Jeremy, but the call did not go through. She then messaged him and reminded him to bring the child to her.

After a while, Madeline arrived at Whitman Corporation. However, she saw a lot of journalists at the entrance.

In the crowd, Madeline saw Jeremy who was being surrounded.

He was tall, so he stood out from the crowd. His breathtaking face was also glowing, so it was difficult for people not to notice him.

He was wearing a black suit, looking frigid but elegant. His narrow eyes were icy and emotionless.

However, they still looked alluring.

Madeline was surprised. She did not expect him to face the press with so much confidence.

She looked at him and walked over slowly. Then, she heard Jeremy speaking calmly to the journalists and the cameras, “The owner of Whitman Corporation is still the same. It’s just temporarily handed to my uncle, Felipe Whitman. It still belongs to the Whitmans.”

He was calm as he utterly played down the fact that he had been stripped of everything.

Then, Jeremy smiled. “I don’t have anything to say about the statements about my fall from grace and dire straits online. Rumors will stop being spread when heard by the wise men.”

He was still treating this like it was nothing. He did not look frightened or disturbed at all.

“Mr. Whitman, recently Meredith Crawford was charged with two murders that happened a few years ago. She’s the love of your life, so do you plan to hire a defense lawyer for her?”

“I heard that after Meredith Crawford was involved with the attempted murder, you never went to visit her again. Even though Meredith has done a lot of bad things, she still gave birth to a son for you and stuck with you for so many years. A lot of people online are calling you heartless, so what is your response to this?”

Jeremy’s gaze became grim when he was faced with the questions from the journalists. “Meredith Crawford has killed people, so she must be punished in accordance with the law. I was entangled with her before, but I’ve never liked her, let alone loved her,” he said. Suddenly, his eyes softened as if they had been caressed by the spring breeze. His eyes were glued on Madeline who was standing in the crowd.

“This entire time, there has only been one woman in my heart. She’s my wife, Madeline Crawford. No, her real name is actually Eveline Montgomery.”
