Chapter 141

Jeremy’s face became colder. “Madeline, I’m asking you to sign the papers.”

“I won’t do it,” Madeline finally said, her tone sounding oddly calm.

Jeremy saw Madeline sitting in front of him coldly and motionlessly while her eyes were on somewhere else. She did not once look into his eyes. Jeremy felt anger rising in his chest. “Madeline, don’t try to challenge my patience. You know the consequences to that.”

When she was faced with his threats and warnings, Madeline did not have any fear on her face. On the contrary, she smiled.

“Jeremy, I’ll tell you this one last time. I won’t sign your divorce papers. If you want to marry Meredith, sure. Then you should just wait for me to sue you for bigamy.”

“Madeline Crawford!” Jeremy was completely enraged. “I’m going to ask you one last time as well. Are you signing or not?”

“No!” Madeline said firmly.

Jeremy’s face became icy. When he saw that Madeline was still acting arrogant and refusing to look at him, he strode over to her and forced the pen into her hand. Then, he held her right hand tightly.

“Jeremy, what are you doing? Let me go!” Madeline started struggling.

“Didn’t you refuse to sign? I’ll help you do it then!” His frigid and menacing voice next to her ear sounded like the final nail in the coffin for her.

Madeline struggled with all her might, but the more she struggled, the more pain she was in. Her worsening tumor and her heart were all in debilitating pain at this moment.

“Jeremy, you beast! I won’t let you and Meredith have your way even if I die!” She pushed him away forcefully and turned around to run.

For someone who had lost her vision, every step she took was extremely dangerous.

Before Madeline could run far, she tripped on something and fell heavily. Pain overwhelmed her entire body.

When she wanted to get up, Jeremy’s huge body loomed over her.

Madeline could not see anything. As such, she could only sense a black shadow coming down on her and trapping her mercilessly.

Jeremy did not notice something was wrong with Madeline’s eyes. He placed his knee on her back and grabbed the divorce papers. Placing them in front of Madeline, he threw the pen down.

“Madeline, don’t make this harder than it should be. As long as you sign the papers like a good girl, I’ll give you some money.”

“I don’t want your money!”

“Then what do you want? Are you still so naive to think that I have feelings for you even until now?”

His words froze her.

“Madeline, listen here. I’ve never liked you, let alone loved. Not even a little bit.”

His cruel words left no room for maneuver, penetrating Madeline’s heart like a heartless blade.

She could feel a dull pain in her heart as the familiar metallic taste of blood started rising in her throat again.

“Don’t waste my time. After you sign the papers, I’ll go prepare for my engagement with Mer. If you don’t want to sign, then just think about your grandfather’s ashes.”

“Hehe…” Madeline laughed lamentably. Her eyes that had lost all light were already red and wet.

“Alright, I’ll sign.”

She finally agreed. She fumbled for the pen in the dark with tears in her eyes. Then, she swallowed the blood in her mouth resolutely.

“Jeremy, just as you wish, you’re finally going to marry her. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”

When Jeremy heard her saying that, he felt a sudden chill in his heart. A strange feeling was bubbling in his heart as it started beating erratically.

He looked at Madeline who was holding in the pain while touching the papers with her left hand over and over again. Even after a long while, she had not signed the papers.

“Madeleine, are you still trying to fool around?”

Madeline smiled bitterly and lamentably. “Mr. Whitman, I’m blind. I can’t see.”

“You’re blind?” Jeremy thought she was lying to him to buy time. He scoffed and replied, “Alright, since you’re blind, I’ll help you.”
