Chapter 524

‘He likes me?’

Madeline still thought this reason was absurd.

Even if he did say he loved her every now and then, the torture that had engulfed her in darkness in the past was still vivid.

“I’ll send you back.” Jeremy’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and Madeline returned to her senses.

She looked at the man beside her, her gaze full of questions.

‘No, Eveline Montgomery. Don’t believe this man.

‘If he had had any trace of affection for you, you wouldn’t be harboring such deep hatred today.’

Jeremy noticed that Madeline was looking at him a little strangely. He delusionally wished that she still had some attachment toward him.

It was a pity that a fantasy was just fantasy after all.

Madeline called a cab by the roadside and went back alone. Jeremy only left after desolately watching Madeline who drifted away.

Not long after he left, a figure entered stealthily into the nursing home.

That person went straight to the front desk and announced, “I’m Old Mr. Whitman’s granddaughter-in-

law, Madeline Crawford. I have something important to ask of him.”

…

After returning home, the words that Old Master Whitman had said kept popping up in her mind.

After signing the divorce papers, Madeline never wanted to see Jeremy ever again. Today, however, she met him again to meet Old Master Whitman.

Now, Madeline was driving to the villa for some reason. She thought of seeing Jackson but found that the villa was enveloped in darkness.

She hurriedly dialed Jeremy’s number. As soon as the call connected, she asked, “Jeremy, where are you? Where’s Jack? Where did you take Jack?”

Jeremy did not answer immediately. He opened his mouth after a while and said, “He’s here at my parents’ place.”

“Where are your parents?”

“You’ll take Jack away soon. Although my parents aren’t qualified grandparents, Jack’s still their grandson.”

Madeline understood when she heard this.

She did not ask Jeremy to bring Jack back immediately and just said indifferently, “I’ll drive over now and see you downstairs at the residential area in a while.”

Madeline immediately drove over after hanging up the call.

She parked her car outside of the residential area. As she was about to call Jeremy after getting out of the car, someone suddenly ran into her from behind and knocked her phone to the ground.

Madeline initially thought that person had not been careful, but when she turned her head and saw Yvonne’s arrogant face, she knew that it was intentional.

“Tsk, look who’s here. If it isn’t my heartless and inhumane cousin-in-law?” Yvonne said, her gaze arrogant. “What are you doing here? Do you want to see how bad my cousin is doing? I’m telling you, stop being delusional! As long as I’m by my cousin’s side, he’ll definitely have a comeback one day!”

Madeline did not know where Yvonne found the confidence to say such things, but she really did not bother to waste her time with Yvonne. As such, she bent down to pick up her phone.

An evil smile appeared on Yvonne’s face upon seeing this. She lifted her foot to kick Madeline’s body.

Madeline saw Yvonne’s insidious act through the rear-view mirror of the car. She picked up her phone speedily and retreated to the side flexibly.

Yvonne had used too much force and stepped on the air, causing her to fall flat on her face. “Ah!” she yelled in pain, “Madeline, you b*tch. How dare you…”

She broke out into curses but stopped halfway through her cursing. Then, she displayed an aggrieved, pitiful expression. “Vera, even if you hate your aunt for bullying you that once, you and I bear no grudges. How could you hit me? You even pushed me to the ground so fiercely.”
