Chapter 760
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âI still love you even after Iâve gotten my revenge.â
Madeline had no idea when she fell asleep, but the sky was already dark when she woke.
She left the villa and made her way to Montgomery Manor.
Eloise and Sean were elated at her return.
However, they could not help but feel worried when they took in Madelineâs downcasted expression.
âAre you still hurting due to what happened with Lillian, Eveline?â
Madeline felt her heart clench. âJeremyâs dead.â
âWh-What? Jeremyâs dead?â Eloise and Sean could not believe their ears.
âHe flew back a few days ago, but his flight crashed.â
âHis flight crashed? How could that be? There wasnât any news of the like.â Eloise and Sean were confused.
Madeline halted. âThere wasnât?â
âNot at all. We didnât hear about any accidents pertaining to any airlines as well.â Sean confirmed. âAre you sure youâre not mistaken, Eveline?â
Madeline felt her heart skip a beat as she pulled out her phone to check for relevant news only to find nothing about a flight from F Country to Glendale crashing.
Madelineâs heart raced.
Thinking back to the things that happened over these past couple of days, Madeline spent a moment in silence before she turned and ran out.
âItâs late, Eveline. Where are you going?â Eloise and Sean were concerned, but they knew that they could not hold Madeline back.
Madeline drove toward Felipeâs villa and marched inside. Holding on to her last thread of calm, Madeline made a beeline to the second-floor study and punched in the passcode. However, Felipe was nowhere to be found.
No longer as careful as she was last time, she directly started to go through the documents on the table and turned on Felipeâs computer.
The computer required a passcode, and by following the steps Jackson had taken to override the passcode from memory, she was surprised to find the computer unlocked.
Clicking into one of Felipeâs files, she was met with a line full of letters and symbols that she could not understand.
âEvie.â Cathy suddenly appeared.
Madeline closed the document and asked calmly, âIs Felipe back, Cathy?â
âFelipe went to F Country a few days ago but he hasnât returned yet,â Cathy replied honestly.
âThen do you know if Felipeâsâ¦â Madeline trailed off mid-question, not knowing how she should continue.
âAre you alright, Evie? You donât look so good.â
Madeline chuckled humorlessly. âYou can thank Felipe for that.â
ââ¦â Not knowing how to reply to that, Cathy merely frowned.
Madeline was about to leave when she turned and saw Cathy covering her mouth, looking nauseated.
âDid you get pregnant again, Cathy?â
Cathyâs expression paled. âNo, thereâs no way.â She shook her head in denial.
Madeline thought she saw something weird in Cathyâs shimmering eyes.
However, she did not have the time to think too deeply about such trivial matters now.
All she wanted was to know the truth behind the so-called plane crash and if it was even a true event or not.
Madeline returned home and spent the entire night deep in thought. She could not help but feel that she had fallen into someoneâs well-thought-out scam.
Felipe could just want her to think that Jeremy had died when he was still very much alive.
Madeline went back to F Country again, thinking that Jeremy might still be somewhere in F Country.
She dashed back to the hotel and rebooked a hotel room. With her luggage in tow, she walked toward the elevator just as it arrived.
The doors opened and as Madeline was about to enter, she was met with the indifferent and ethereal features of Jeremy Whitman!
