Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 436

Chapter 436

At this moment, Madeline's phone chimed with the notification sound.

Madeline gathered her thoughts and looked at the screen. It was from Felipe.

Felipe was hoping that Madeline would send him the documents on the USB drive.

"Daddy, is Vera going to be my mommy from now on? Can I tell the other kids that my mommy is Vera Quinn when they ask me?" Jackson asked in a childish and innocent voice.

Madeline looked over and saw Jeremy spooning some food into Jackson's plate. Then, he smiled warmly and nodded. "Jack, no matter in the past or the future, you only have one mommy and she's sitting in front of you."

After he said that, Jackson smiled naively at Madeline.

There was a glint in Jackson's eyes that instantly healed Madeline's wounded heart.

Suddenly, she felt an ache in her heart. Then, she felt reluctant.

She was reluctant to make Jackson's smile disappear in the future.

The moment Jeremy's reputation was ruined and the Whitmans fell from grace, Jackson would not be happy again.

...

The next morning, Madeline went to the shop. She organized the files on the USB drive and deliberately deleted some important documents before sending them to Felipe.

However, when Felipe saw the documents, he immediately went to look for Madeline.

Madeline was about to go to Whitman Corporation. When she saw Felipe, she could predict the reason why he had come over in such a hurry.

Felipe was a smart man, so he was able to tell that the documents that were sent over were of no use to him.

The inside of the office was quiet.

Not only did Felipe not question her or feel dissatisfied with her, he only looked at her with a disappointed look on his face.

"Vera, are you regretting this?" His tone was calm. "You don't want to see him fall from grace. You still love him."

"I stopped loving him a long time ago." Madeline denied without hesitating, and there was sarcasm in her eyes. "I just don't want to go all out. After all, Jackson is innocent."

"I don't think you're going all out. Just think about how he treated you back then."

Felipe walked in front of Madeline, his eyes as bright as onyxes. Yet, they were looking at her with pity.

"Maddie, please allow me to call you this. I think you won't forget about how he abandoned and ignored you in the rain so cruelly. And remember how he allowed Meredith to frame you, causing you to be wrongfully imprisoned for three years?

"Remember how they tortured you during the three years of your imprisonment and how they stole your child? What did he do to force you to divorce him? He asked Meredith to remove your corneas and even treated your life with contempt. You're already very benevolent to him by doing this."

There was a hint of rage in Felipe's usually calm and warm eyes.

"Stop hesitating. He has already committed so many crimes. You don't have to go easy on him."

After Madeline heard those words, tears welled up in her eyes.

What happened in the past had built up into a mountain of indestructible hatred. Her gaze was determined.

'Yes, I can't hesitate anymore. I can't continue being so soft-hearted."

Madeline made her final decision, but she still could not hand all of the documents in the USB drive to Felipe. It was because she remembered the old master's reminder all of a sudden.

Monday morning, Madeline and Jeremy walked into Whitman Corporation's door and saw the employees in bad moods. However, the employees still smiled and greeted them because of Jeremy's aura.

Even though Jeremy did not show any emotions, Madeline could detect that he felt that something was amiss. She knew clearly what was the reason behind his strange expression.

When they got to the office, Jeremy's assistant, Ken, walked in with a solemn expression. "Mr. Whitman, something's wrong."
