Chapter 410

Madeline smiled and was about to say something when the phone rang.

She looked at the screen and saw that it was from Felipe.

She answered the phone naturally and hung up after a few brief sentences.

“Jeremy, something has come up at my shop. I have to go back now.”

“I’ll see you off.”

“No, we’ll see each other tonight,” Madeline said as she turned around. As she was about to leave, Jeremy stretched out his hand to hold her. When Madeline looked back doubtfully, Jeremy lowered his head and kissed her lips.

“A goodbye kiss.”

“…”

Madeline accepted with a smile despite her rejection.

After seeing her turn around and leave, the smile on the corners of his lips gradually disappeared while the sharpness in his eyes faded away, leaving only a touch of regret.

When Eloise said that Madeline was actually her biological daughter just now, the assumption had given the most perfect answer to the entangled questions in Jeremy’s heart.

“Linnie…”

The name was gently uttered from between his thin and alluring lips, carrying hints of deep love and regret.

…

When Madeline met Felipe, she explained to him what she had learned so far.

“There’s a password to Jeremy’s computer. The information you want may not be easy to get.”

“It’s already very unusual for us to know the layout of his office this quickly.” Felipe turned around, his bright, obsidian eyes casting ripples of gentleness over Madeline’s face.

“In fact, compared to all this, I wanted to see you more.”

“As long as we get what I want and complete our plan, I’ll return to your side.”

“Will you really come back to me?” Felipe’s eyes were a little suspicious now. “You used to love Jeremy so much. Do you really have no feelings for him now?”

Hearing this, Madeline sighed with a smile.

“How much I loved him is how much I hate him now.”

She looked toward the endless sea in the distance.

“My love for him has sunk to the bottom of the sea by April Hill and it’ll never return in this lifetime…”

…

On the other side, Eloise and Sean had given up the idea of looking for Madeline’s belongings when they suddenly received a call from Jeremy.

After meeting at the agreed place, Jeremy handed a transparent plastic bag containing a toothbrush to Eloise.

“This is…” Eloise took the plastic bag with surprise. She seemed to have guessed something as her heartbeat sped up involuntarily.

Jeremy calmly parted his lips and said, “It’s the toothbrush she used. There should be residual DNA on it.”

“This… Is this really the toothbrush Madeline used?” Eloise and Sean were excited and surprised.

“You can use this to do a paternity test, but don’t let Vera know about it.” Jeremy’s tone was dull, but his attitude was serious. “I don’t want her to misunderstand anything.”

Eloise and Sean responded in unison, expressing their understanding.

Jeremy did not want Vera to know that he still had things from Madeline’s life. That was completely understandable. After all, Vera was now Jeremy’s true wife.

After Eloise and Sean thanked him, they immediately went to the screening agency in person.

From this moment on, Jeremy’s heart also became perturbed.

With Eloise and Sean’s status and background, they could definitely use the quickest route to obtain the identification result within the shortest time.

Night fell. Jeremy had just returned to the villa when his phone rang. He looked at the strange number on it, and after a few seconds had passed, he slowly swiped on the answer button. At the same time, Sean’s excited voice came from the other end…
