Chapter 824

“He has gained some power and wealth all those years he was in F Country. I’m afraid there’s some sort of illegal trade behind this.”

Yvette’s expression changed. “How is that possible? He wouldn’t do anything illegal.”

“You still have this much faith in him even when it comes to this? He has done so many illegal trades already.” Jeremy’s question stumped Yvette.

She stood there in a daze as tears started welling in her eyes.

“You should leave your brightest smile to the person who hurt you the most,” Jeremy said before frowning. Then, he continued, “Just like Eveline Montgomery’s relentless revenge on me.”

…

After Felipe received the phone call from F Country, he had already booked a flight ticket back.

Of course, he would not let Madeline stay in Glendale, so he decided to take her back to F Country with him that night.

He arranged for someone to take Madeline to see Lillian while he left hurriedly.

Madeline saw the scar on the little girl’s head and felt her heart break.

“Mommy, it’s been a long time since I saw Jackie and that handsome mister. I don’t want to stay here every day. Mommy, when are you going to take me out to play?”

The little girl blinked her huge eyes and looked at Madeline expectantly.

“Lily, be a good girl. I’ll find a time to take you to play with Jackie and the handsome mister.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Madeline’s eyes were filled with love as she caressed the little girl’s face.

“However, you have to listen to Mommy. You have to be careful and can’t fall like you did before.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll be good.” The little girl nodded and ran up to Madeline to kiss her cheek.

“Mommy, can you tell me a story tonight?”

Madeline nodded and agreed. However, it was up to Felipe whether she was allowed to stay the night.

The sky had turned dark when Madeline called Felipe, but no one was picking up.

“Mommy, I want to eat the muffins you make. Your muffins are the best.”

“I’ll buy the ingredients and make some for you now, okay?”

“Okay.” Lillian was smiling so widely that her eyes turned into crescent moons. Then, she leaped into Madeline’s arms. “You’re the best mommy in the world.”

Madeline kissed the little girl, and at that moment, she felt that all of her grievances and sadness had been alleviated.

As a mother, she longed for a moment like this.

As long as her child was healthy and safe, she could endure anything as Lillian’s mother.

Madeline put on a coat and peered at the bodyguards who had been watching her this entire time. “You heard everything, right? Lillian wants muffins, so I need to buy the ingredients from the shop nearby.

Take me there.”

“Yes, Madam,” the bodyguard answered and sent Madeline to the nearest shop.

Madeline walked out of the shop after she got everything she needed. She looked around her subconsciously and her instinct told her that someone was watching her.

However, with the bodyguards around her, she was not scared if they decided to do anything to her.

She then got into the car and went back.

Jeremy arrived in F Country on the same flight as Madeline. He could track Madeline’s location precisely from Jackson’s phone.

He initially thought Madeline would be in the manor. However, he followed the car to a modern-looking villa.

Jeremy stopped the car at a spot that was not too obvious and watched Madeline’s every move.

He watched Madeline getting out of the car with two bodyguards behind her. After she opened the door, her face blossomed into a gentle smile before she bent down.

Madeline looked at Lillian who had come up to welcome her and picked her up. “Darling, have you been waiting for me?’
