Chapter 426

Madeline adjusted her emotions quickly and smiled. “Jeremy, Grandpa wants to rest. Let’s head back.”

Jeremy’s gaze focused closely on the fleeting mockery in Madeline’s eyes. He nodded lightly. “Okay.”

After they went back, Madeline took a cold shower to keep herself calm.

‘Grandpa really seems to have discovered my true identity and deliberately reminded me to stay away from Felipe.

‘Could it be that Grandpa has already investigated something in secret?

‘I have to speed things up.

‘If I drag on, Jeremy will see through me sooner or later.

‘After all, his IQ is not low.’

At midnight, Madeline slowly opened her eyes after Jeremy had fallen asleep.

Gently removing herself from Jeremy’s embrace, she went to his study using the moonlight.

After observing these few days, Madeline was certain that Jeremy’s study was not equipped with a security system.

She turned on the lights and looked through the documents on his study desk. Most of them were company documents, but they were all unimportant.

Madeline then turned on the computer and it showed the page of which a password was needed to enter after the screen lit up.

Password.

What password did he set?

Madeline tried to enter Jeremy and Meredith’s birthdates, but they both failed.

When she was about to leave it aside, a small figure appeared at the entrance of the study. “Mom.”

“Jack?” Madeline was surprised to see the sleepy little guy.

“Mom, do you still need to work this late at night?” the little guy asked softly as he slowly walked in.

Madeline could only nod. It felt exceptionally good to hear Jackson call her ‘Mom’. “Yes, I suddenly recalled that something hasn’t been done.”

“I’ll accompany you.” Jackson smiled slightly, his snaggleteeth showing.

Madeline wanted to reject him, but the little guy had already walked to her side.

“Jack, Mom’s very forgetful. I’ve forgotten the start-up password all of a sudden, so let’s just go to bed first.”

“You’ve forgotten the password? Don’t worry, Jack knows.”

What?

Madeline looked at Jackson who said these words in surprise.

“Mom, wait for me.” Jackson turned around and walked out after he said this. When he came back again, he was holding a phone in his hand.

Madeline initially thought that Jackson had jotted down Jeremy’s password in his phone, but she saw him opening a software that she did not know of. Then, he connected the phone to the computer. After that, it processed for a while, and it did not take long for the eight numbers to continuously pop up on the phone screen.

Seeing the numbers that had appeared, Madeline was dumbfounded.

‘This is… the start-up password that Jeremy set?

‘How could it be?!’

She looked at the familiar, eight-digit number in disbelief and immediately saw Jackson inputting the numbers into the computer. After pressing the enter key, the computer unlocked in the next second.

At the same time, a notification sounded from Jeremy’s phone.

He opened his deep, black orbs and saw his empty arms. Then, he glanced at his phone before getting up and walking to the study…
