Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816

“Eveline, I’m no longer in love with you.

“This is my fiancée, Vetty.

“What? Are you worried that I’ll harm Felipe’s kid, Mrs. Whitman?”

Madeline was feeling her heart aching as she placed her hand on her abdomen.

‘Jeremy, this is your biological child.

‘In my entire life, I’ve no other man aside from you.

‘But in the end, you still don’t believe in me.’

Madeline smiled bitterly. She suddenly recalled that two days ago, there was a stranger who claimed to have a bad ending in their relationship who added her on social media.

Currently, aside from that stranger, there was no one else she could turn to.

Hence, she accepted that stranger’s request. Just when she was thinking about how she should greet that stranger, the latter sent her a message: [Hello miss, I’m very glad you’ve added me as a friend.]

Madeline replied: [Nice to meet you, stranger.]

[Miss, I’ve just ended my relationship and I’m feeling very sad. Can you keep me company for a little longer?]

Madeline was not feeling any much better as well and started having a conversation with the stranger.

Upon waking up from her slumber the next morning, Madeline realized she had fallen asleep without her realizing it.

She got herself cleaned up, then headed downstairs to have her breakfast. At that time, Felipe showed up.

He came to pick her up and send her to Whitman Corporation, claiming that he wanted to appoint Madeline as the director of the jewelry designing department of Whitman Corporation.

Madeline had no power to reject the offer, but to her surprise, the very first project to be discussed had something to do with Jeremy.

Jeremy had offered a price of one million to hire Whitman Corporation to customize a jewelry design for him.

Madeline was doubtful whether Felipe was intentionally trying to test her by allowing her to meet Jeremy all by herself to discuss the project. He even set the time for at night.

Madeline, under the name of the young mistress of Whitman Corporation, went into the conference room to meet Jeremy.

“How dare you call yourself a designer if you can’t even make this happen?”

“…”

Madeline finally realized that Jeremy was trying to infuriate her. His trip here this time was to go against her.

‘What a narrow-minded man.’

Gritting her teeth, she spun around. Just when she was about to reply, there was a flash of lightning seen outside the window. With a loud roar, the lights in the conference room went out and the entire building was now pitch-black.

Madeline attempted to take out her phone to turn on the flashlight, but her hand slipped and her phone dropped on the ground. She quickly went over to retrieve it, yet her head bumped into the man who was approaching her.

Madeline grabbed onto Jeremy’s collar when she was about to topple over, and Jeremy instinctively caught hold of her waist.

Madeline’s heart was pounding hard when she noticed him breathing so close to her. An idea darted through her.

‘Right now, the circuit has been cut off and it’s pitch-black everywhere. Does it mean that Felipe can no longer keep an eye on me?’

The thought of it made Madeline take the initiative to hug Jeremy. Leaning her body against him, she said, “I’ve something to tell you, Jeremy.”
