Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1726

Chapter 1726

While this further increased Shirley's suspicion, she certainly was hungry.

She did not think that Madeline would do anything to the food, so she started eating without worries.

When she finished, Madeline had already changed the bedsheets.

"You ought to stay here for the time being." Madeline walked up to Shirley. "I know you like Carter, but that doesn't mean that you should follow that person blindly."

"Heh. Eveline, are you teaching me how to conduct myself?" Shirley chuckled and asked. "Don't you recall that you too had done a lot of stupid things for Jeremy back then?" Madeline calmly smiled at that. "Back then, I loved him so much that I had lost myself, but I never did anything that goes against my conscience or harms others, not even for him."

"..."

Shirley, silent upon hearing that, momentarily did not know how to refute Madeline.

Unconvinced, she bit her lip, and her eyes were hostile and doubtful. "Eveline, what on earth do you and your husband intend to do?"

Madeline curled her beautiful lips slowly. "You should be grateful that you have a good brother."

"Just think about it."

After Madeline said that, she turned and walked out the door.

Shirley saw that Madeline was about to leave. Although Shirley had regained a fair bit of her energy after bathing and eating, she thought about being locked up here for who knew how long. Seeing Madeline's back, she suddenly charged toward Madeline.

'Eveline, thank you for your hospitality, but at the end of the day, I am not a good person, so I won't fall for this!'

Shirley silently thought as she suddenly reached out with her hands and tried to pull Madeline back in to borrow her momentum to run out.

However, Madeline quickly turned her head.

Shirley was shocked. Before she could react, Madeline grabbed Shirley's wrist, restraining her.

"It's not time for you to leave yet, so be obedient and stay here."

Madeline released Shirley's hand as she spoke.

Shirley, still physically weak, stumbled backward and bumped into the bedside.

Madeline glanced at Shirley, then firmly walked out of the door and locked the door from the other side.

As she was about to head downstairs, Madeline's footsteps gradually came to a halt.

She looked at her previous master bedroom, then suddenly turned and walked toward the room.

The door was ajar. After taking a step inside, Madeline felt an intense discomfort washing over her.

Scenes seemed to play in her eyes. Scenes of the time when she had been wronged and hurt in this very room.

The scenes in which Jeremy had ignored her, neglected her, and treated her brutally played in her mind like a movie, appearing one after another in her eyes.

She had already let go of all these, but these scenes now flooded her mind, bringing her pain.

Madeline quickly turned to leave the bedroom, nearly running down the stairs as she left.

When she was outside the villa, she felt that her heart was beating abnormally fast, and it seemed to have gotten more difficult to breathe. Those fragments of memories also persisted in her mind. Madeline staggered, suddenly recalling Shirley's words from before...
