Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 465

Chapter 465

Madeline was shocked by Jeremy's sudden appearance. However, for some reason, she let out a sigh of relief.

Felipe was annoyed as his profession of love and proposal was abruptly interrupted. A hint of anger appeared in his gentle black eyes. "Jeremy, why are you here? You no longer have a position here." Jeremy's narrow eyes stared straight at Felipe, then his eyes landed on Madeline's face.

When he met her cold stare, his gaze turned soft.

"I know you hate me and you want me to die. I accept all kinds of revenge from you, but I won't allow you to be with him... Let alone get married to him."

Jeremy had no room for negotiation in his tone, and there was a domineering aura in his dark eyes.

When Madeline was about to say something, she heard Felipe chuckling behind her.

"You won't allow this?" he laughed as he questioned, "Who are you to not allow this? Did you forget how you used to treat Maddie? What were you doing when she was sick and injured? You were having the time of your life with another woman. When she was all alone and yearning for an ounce of your trust, what did you do? You asked her to die.

"Jeremy, just ask yourself, who are you to interfere with Maddie's business? She's not related to you anymore. Plus, you're not worthy of her." Jeremy knitted his eyebrows together when he listened to what Felipe said. His eyes darkened, and he even lost the courage to look at Madeline. Felipe smirked when he saw Jeremy lowering his head dispiritedly.

He lifted his arm and draped it across Madeline's shoulder. "Vera, let's go."

Madeline nodded, her cold eyes scanning Jeremy's side profile.

She saw that Jeremy was pressing his lips tightly, his handsome stained with a trace of bitterness that she had never seen before.

Madeline did not ponder about what Jeremy was thinking at this moment. She left the office with Felipe without hesitating.

Jeremy stood where he was for a very long time in low spirits. Finally, there were some emotions on his handsome face. However, it was only endless pain and regret.

After he left Whitman Corporation, Jeremy drove his car aimlessly. Finally, he stopped his car by the beach at April Hill.

At this moment while looking at the endless sea, the memories of him hurting Madeline kept replaying in his mind.

She had been crying helplessly as she begged him. She loved him so much but could not help but to only admire him from a distance. He could not get rid of these memories no matter how he tried. Jeremy closed his eyes when a bone-chilling wind blew past him. When he opened them again, his eyes were red. His Adam's apple bobbed as he sobbed soundlessly.

The snow fell on his shoulder, and gradually, he was being enveloped by cold air.

Jeremy stood motionlessly as he faced the sea. It felt as if the waves were crashing against his heart. Then, painful ripples started spreading wider and wider.

He did not know how long he stood there. He eventually went home after he received a call from Karen telling him there was an emergency at home.

Jeremy did not want to bother himself with the matter, but when Karen told him it was about Madeline, he immediately sped back to Whitman Manor.

The moment he walked into the door, Karen ran in front of him frantically. "Jeremy, is that woman insane? Not only does she want to take over the entire Whitman Corporation with Felipe, but she even wants to take Whitman Manor as well! Those shameless adulterers, she-"

"Shut up," Jeremy interrupted her impatiently, his cool demeanor shocking Karen instantly.

Karen pursed her lips together in dissatisfaction. "Did I say something wrong? If she can do it, then I'm not allowed to say it? Hmph, what have we done to her? She deserved all of those things that happened to her back then. Why is she back to seek revenge from us now?"

Jeremy knitted his eyebrows together with an icy gaze. "You still have the nerve to say all of those things?"

"..." Karen did not dare to make a sound.
