Chapter 455

Smash!

The teacup in Eloise’s hand slipped and smashed on the floor.

Her limp hands were frozen in midair and could not move.

“W-What did you say… Vera is Maddie…” Eloise muttered as tears quickly filled her eyes and blurred her vision. The only thing she could see right now was Madeline’s stunning face.

Eloise did not suspect anything. It was natural that she would wish her daughter was still alive and well in this world. Plus, during this period of time, she had started to grow fond of Vera.

She knew she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart was in such debilitating pain.

Sean came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Eloise standing there looking dull and sluggish as she sobbed, he walked over feeling worried and curious.

“Ellie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Sean was concerned. He looked at Jeremy in confusion.

“Mr. Whitman, when did you get here? Why is Ellie so sad? Are you going to take Jack home?”

Jeremy caressed Jackson’s hair. “I’m not taking him back. Mrs. Montgomery isn’t sad, she’s happy.”

“Happy?” Sean was even more confused now.

When he was about to ask more questions, Eloise turned around and grabbed his hand. “Sean, our daughter is still alive!”

“What? Ellie, what did you say?” Sean’s eyes were filled with an expectant glow.

Eloise had tears streaming down her face. “Vera is actually Maddie! She’s our precious daughter, Eveline! She’s Eveline!”

Sean was stumped for words as his heartbeat sped up. “Vera is Maddie…”

Eloise bawled and leaned against Sean’s shoulder. She was feeling joy and sadness at the same time.

“Sean, this is great. Our daughter is still alive. She’s still alive. Thank God!”

Sean’s eyes were also wet with tears. He suppressed his emotions and patted Eloise’s shoulder to comfort her. However, he could not wait to see Madeline right now.

“Where is Eveline? Where is she? I want to see her now.”

“Mr. Whitman, you must know where my daughter is, right? Please tell us!” Eloise was impatient as well.

Jeremy frowned, and there was an unspeakable bitterness in his heart. “You can try Whitman Corporation. She might be in the president’s office.”

After Eloise and Sean got the answer, they did not think too much about it. They immediately headed to Whitman Corporation without even changing their clothes.

“Where are Grandpa and Granny going? Why are they in such a hurry?” Jackson blinked and asked.

“Grandpa and Granny went to find your mommy.” Jeremy squatted and caressed Jackson’s adorable face, his eyes filled with gentleness.

“Jack, Daddy is at fault. I’ve wronged you and your mommy.”

Jackson listened to Jeremy’s apology in confusion. Then, he was pulled into Jeremy’s tight embrace.

“Jack, I promise that from now on, I’ll love and cherish you and your mommy.”

…

Dusk arrived early in the winter.

After Madeline finished up her work, she called Ava and left with her bag.

When she got out of the office, the receptionist ran over to her. “Madam, just now…”

“You can call me Miss Quinn.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Quinn.” The receptionist corrected herself quickly. “I’m sorry, Miss Quinn, the lobby called saying that Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery need to see you urgently. They’re coming up now.”

Madeline nodded as if she was in deep thought. “I got it. Thanks.”

After she said that, she walked into the VIP elevator and left.

At this moment, the elevator next to it arrived. When the door opened, the door to the VIP elevator closed just in time.

Madeline could see Eloise and Sean’s frantic figures from the crack of the elevator door. She looked at them calmly until the door was fully closed.

Eloise and Sean ran to the receptionist to ask if Madeline was in the office the moment they got out of the elevator.

The receptionist pointed at the VIP elevator. “Miss Quinn just left.”
