Chapter 498
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
Like an ant on a hot pan, Karen called Jeremy over.
Not too long after his arrival came Felipeâs.
Dressed in a black suit, Felipeâs normally elegant and gentlemanly aura was tinged with a hit of dominance.
Realizing Old Master Whitman, Jeremy, and the rest of the Whitman family were present, Felipe had his assistant hand over a document before going straight to the point.
âThis house is now mine. Considering our relationship, Iâll give you one day to pack everything and move out.â
Karen jumped up and pointed a finger to rage at Felipe. âFelipe, you *sshole! How could you scheme to snatch away the assets under the Whitmansâ name? You already took Whitman Corporations, but now youâre taking the old masterâs retirement house too? You have no conscience!â
Felipe smiled unconcernedly. âConscience?â
His dark eyes shone with an ironic glint.
âWe wouldnât be here if you guys had a conscience.â
âWhat⦠What are you trying to say?â
Felipe scoffed and met Jeremyâs deep gaze without sparing Karen another look.
âMadeline wouldnât have tethered over the brink of death had you even the slightest conscience.â
Then, he turned to look at a silent Old Master Whitman, the frost in his eyes screaming with hatred.
âMy parents would never have died such painful deaths had it not been your lack of conscience!
âWho are you, a bunch of heartless f*cks, to accuse me so ostentatiously of not having a conscience?â
ââ¦â Karen was infuriated. She wanted to raise her voice, but the harsh look in Felipeâs eyes had chased away all her courage to do so.
Felipeâs cold eyes swept over Old Master Whitman whose complexion had long lost its flush before landing on Jeremy.
âYou two are to blame for the ruin of the Whitman family.â
With that, he turned around to instruct his assistant coldly, âKeep an eye on them. I want them gone from the house within a day.â
âYes, Mr. Whitman.â
Jeremy finally spoke as the other took his leave, âFelipe.â
Felipeâs footsteps came to a halt.
He allowed Jeremy to walk over with a solemn expression on his face. âGrandfather hasnât done anything on purpose to hurt you and your parents, Felipe. What happened back then was an accident.
This is the house Great-grandfather left for him, so I canât allow you to take it away.â
âYou expect me to believe you?â Felipe smiled mockingly, replacing all gentlemanly aspects of his elegant features with unpredictable and sinister darkness.
âWorry about yourself, Jeremy. Youâre going to lose your only son very soon.â
Jeremyâs gaze hardened as his expression immediately turned fierce. âDonât touch Jack, Felipe. Iâm warning you, donât even try to approach Madeline either. Weâve never divorced which means that sheâs still my wife. Do not try your way with her!â
âWhat? You didnât divorce Madeline?â Karen exclaimed in shock, âWhat are you talking about, Jeremy?
Didnât you divorce that b⦠Divorce her three years ago? Howââ
Felipeâs phone rang, cutting Karen off.
Looking at the caller ID, Felipe smirked and looked at Jeremy as he accepted the call. âVera.â
His voice was gentle, a stark contrast to his cool tone seconds ago.
A storm brewed behind Jeremyâs eyes as he bore his icy eyes at Felipe who was currently on a call with Madeline.
Following that, he heard Felipeâs gentle words of comfort. âRelax. Iâll be right there. Wait for me.â
