Chapter 420

Felipe suddenly called and Madeline collected herself before answering the phone. The man’s gentle voice sounded magnetically in her ears. “Are you okay? Did you see the video?”

Madeline seemed to understand something clearly. “I just finished watching it. Thank you for your concern. I’m fine.”

“It seems that they really love you. It’s just that they were blinded back then.” Felipe explained on behalf of Eloise and Sean.

“Love…”

Madeline smiled while uttering the word, feeling strange all of a sudden. “Felipe, I’ll come to where you are now. Let’s talk about the plan.”

After hanging up the call, Madeline hurried to a single-family villa in the suburbs where Felipe now lived.

After Madeline arrived, Felipe brought the black tea that he had just brewed. He looked at the woman who was in front of him with a smile and tender eyes. “I really want this to end soon. I think of you having to stay with him every night and it’s very uncomfortable.”

Madeline sipped the black tea, feeling Felipe’s care and affection for her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself properly. Jeremy may have married me and he may really have some affection for me, but in the end, this face of mine is one that he hates most. He won’t be interested in me that way.”

Felipe smiled superficially and nodded.

“He probably knew that you had been wronged and framed since before. And because he felt guilty and was unable to atone for a dead person, that’s why he found some comfort in you,” he said as he looked at the withered flowers in the yard, his eyes sinking.

“That’s human nature. You may think he’s really sorry, but sometimes, he might only be apologizing just to make himself feel better.

“I don’t care whether he feels guilty or sorry,” Madeline said lightly, “I just want to get my child back and crack his computer password as soon as possible to get the information we want.”

“Maybe it’s not necessary for us to go around such a big circle. I’ll think of a faster way to complete our plan.”

Felipe looked at Madeline with a mysterious smile. “I’m almost done with all the people on the board of directors. What we can be certain of now is that Jeremy holds nearly 70 percent of the shares of Whitman Corporation. As long as we obtain these shares, Whitman Corporation will no longer be his to rule.”

Madeline pondered thoughtfully for a moment. “I know what to do.”

Seeing the firmness in Madeline’s eyes, Felipe’s gaze softened. “Vera, will you regret doing this?”

Madeline smiled and shook her head. “What I regret the most is that I loved him too deeply and only realized it too late.”

After saying this, Madeline’s phone rang again.

She took a look and found that it was Eloise calling her.

Although Eloise and Sean did not know her identity, Madeline knew it clearly.

As for Eloise’s call, she could not heartlessly decline it.

She picked up the call and Eloise’s sentimental voice sounded as she made a request. “Miss Vera, are you free now? Sean and I have something to ask of you.”

“I have time.” Madeline agreed, then left Felipe’s villa.

After Madeline left, Felipe held the cup she had just drank tea from. The smile on his lips was just a tad distressed.

“You’ll probably hate me in the future, I suppose. But I won’t let you know that I’m actually not a qualified gentleman.”

…

Half an hour later, Madeline came to the place Eloise mentioned. As soon as she got out of the car, Eloise and Sean greeted her with a smile.

“Miss Vera, thank you for making this trip.” Eloise and Sean were very kind and friendly.

Madeline smiled elegantly. “I wonder what’s the matter you two want me to help with?”
