Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 445

Chapter 445

Before this, Madeline already knew how to face everyone.

However, when she looked at the white-haired Old Master Whitman in front of her, she felt an ache in her heart. However, she still looked into his eyes calmly. "Grandpa, you're right. I am Maddie."

She finally admitted this to the old master. She could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa, thank you for trusting and supporting me in all those years. You were the only person who's good to me in this family. I will remember this forever." Old Master Whitman walked in front of Madeline slowly with the support of his cane. His aged and murky eyes looked at her dotingly and understandingly. "Child, you're finally admitting it. I'm happy."

Looking at the old master's loving gaze, Madeline felt apologetic all of a sudden. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint you."

"No. I'm happy to see the new you." The old master lifted his hand and grabbed Madeline's hand. His palm was cold, but he was still trying to warm Madeline up. "Jeremy wronged you. Wealth and power are nothing in front of human life. However, thank God you're still alive."

"Grandpa..."

"I will always support you just like how I used to."

The old master's answer touched Madeline.

At this moment, Madeline received Felipe's call. She did not stay. She left after she bid farewell to the old master.

Karen went limp after Madeline left. She collapsed on the chair lifelessly and was petrified. "I didn't expect her to be alive. I didn't expect... She used a fake identity to get close to us. She must be here for revenge! She must have wanted retaliation against me!" Karen muttered. She called Jeremy immediately but could not get to him no matter how many times she called.

Since she did not know what Madeline's next move would be, she was as frantic as a cat on hot bricks.

"No! I can't just sit around and do nothing!"

"What else do you want to do?" Old Master Whitman frowned. His white eyebrows were knitted together as he looked at Karen in dissatisfaction.

"Dad! You heard her. She's Madeline Crawford! She's not dead! This woman must have a lot of dissatisfaction and hatred in her heart. She must be trying to get back at the Whitmans now that she has made a comeback!

"Back then, she was just a wretched country bumpkin with no money or reputation, but now, not only does she have her own business, but she has also made a name and reputation for herself. Plus, she's also Miss Montgomery! She's not as easy to defeat as before now!"

"So, you're allowed to bully Maddie however you wanted when she had no money or reputation, but now that she's more powerful, you're finally scared of her? Why don't you think about what you did to her in the past? Are you even an eligible mother-in-law?"

"Dad, I..."

"I told you Meredith was not a good person and you didn't want to believe me. You kept trying to get Maddie to divorce Jeremy. Couldn't you tell that your son has been in love with Maddie all along?" "W-What?" When Karen finally knew the truth, she was tongue-tied.

Jeremy liked Madeline?

What kind of fantasy was that?

After Madeline left Whitman Manor, she drove Jeremy's car to a high-end restaurant.

The french window was able to display the night view of the bustling city. Everything looked peaceful and great.

Madeline lifted her wine glass. The cold liquid glided into her throat as the sweetness of the wine invaded her mouth. She could vaguely taste a hint of bitterness.

"Aren't you happy?"

Madeline shook her head. "I'm very happy. However, I just feel like I've wronged Grandpa."

She finished talking and saw Felipe's eyes darkening.

She did not forget the past that Felipe told her. He did not like the Whitmans, especially the old master.

When Madeline tried to break the silence, her phone rang.

When she saw the name on the caller ID, she was stunned.

It was Eloise.
