Chapter 776

He did not, however, expect Jeremy’s bride to be Madeline and that Madeline would go along with the flow to accept the lease to the manor.

Seeing Madeline’s firm and sharp eyes, Felipe did not want to invite a snub anymore.

He did not understand Jeremy’s reaction. Jeremy was obviously hypnotized and could not possibly have any feelings for Madeline, but Jeremy’s eyes when he looked at Madeline were very gentle—even affectionate.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he got.

That woman Meredith had promised him decisively yesterday that this matter was successfully dealt with, but now, it was more like he had been dealt with by Madeline.

Felipe called Meredith immediately after leaving the banquet hall, but no one answered.

Madeline and Jeremy proceeded with the wedding ceremony in the presence of their guests.

They exchanged their rings, said ‘I do’ to each other, and at the end, he bowed his head before kissing her lips gently.

After the ceremony, Madeline put on her evening gown and returned to the dressing room. As soon as she entered the dressing room, she heard rustling sounds from the fitting room.

Madeline walked over and opened the curtain. Meredith was awake and struggling to break free of the rope that bound her hands and the towel in her mouth.

Taking in Meredith’s discomforted state, Madeline felt very happy. “What? Does it hurt? Is it uncomfortable? Think about what you did to me. I’m just fighting tooth for tooth.”

Madeline walked over and took away the towel tucked in Meredith’s mouth. “Eveline, let me go!”

“You want me to let go of you? Sure. Then, beg me.”

“You…”

“What? Do you think you’re qualified to negotiate terms with me now?”

Madeline bent over, pinching Meredith’s chin in her beautiful hand.

“Meredith, let me tell you this. Don’t think I’m still the old and stupid Madeline. Even if you push me into the bottom of the lake, I can swim up by myself now. The hurt and pain you brought me have taught me to grow!

“Remember this. I am now the eldest lady of the Montgomeries and the only Madam Whitman of Jeremy’s. I’m no longer the fool who will be slaughtered by you!

“My daughter’s blood debt, I will have you pay it back sooner or later. Just wait for it.”

Madeline tucked the towel back into Meredith’s mouth.

“Mmm…” Meredith’s eyes widened as her feet struggled unwillingly.

However, Madeline ignored her and turned away quickly.

When the dinner was almost over, Madeline and Jeremy returned to the villa first.

Entering the wedding room again as a bride, Madeline felt complicated.

She had married him as Vera Quinn back then, but it was for revenge.

Now, she was sincere and earnestly wanted to give this man his atonement and a chance to love her well.

After taking a shower, Madeline sat by the bed and sent a message to Jackson. After a while, Jeremy had also taken a shower and came out.

He casually put on a loose bathrobe. Seeing that Madeline was not paying attention to him, he sat next to her. The clear joints of his fingers were pressed directly to the screen of her phone. “Why are you still sending messages to other boys? Just look at me.”

Madeline raised her eyes when she heard the words and saw Jeremy’s handsome face nearing hers with seriousness. His thin lips kissed her tentatively.

This move surprised Madeline. She raised her eyes to look at him and the fair face that was close at hand as well as the clear eyes that were without impurities. His face suddenly gave Madeline a strong sense of youth.

“Can you continue?” he asked suddenly.

Madeline’s heartstrings trembled as if she was bewitched by these eyes. She took the initiative to kiss his thin lips…
