Chapter 466

“If this will make Madeline feel better, anything is possible.”

“W-What? Jeremy, what did you say?” Karen widened her eyes in shock. “You despise that woman so much, so why are you… Did you really fall in love with Madeline?”

Jeremy did not answer Karen. However, his softened gaze was the best answer.

“I’ll find a suitable place for you to move out soon. Don’t annoy me if there’s nothing urgent.”

After he finished saying that, he turned around to leave. However, he stopped when he saw the old master in front of him.

Old Master Whitman was holding his cane, and although his shrunken face looked strict, his eyes were still benevolent.

“Follow me,” he said to Jeremy before turning around.

Jeremy hesitated for two seconds before following after him.

Study.

Old Master Whitman was facing the grey sky outside the french window. After a long while, he sighed.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve lost Whitman Corporation but I’ll definitely get it back.”

Jeremy looked at the old master’s back and gave him a determined answer.

The old master sighed again before turning around. “I don’t want to know about this. You should know what I’m asking about.”

Jeremy was silent. He knew that the old master was asking about Madeline.

The old master held his cane and walked over to Jeremy, saying, “You know some things that other people don’t. You came to me when you married Maddie. You begged me to officiate this marriage.”

Jeremy’s heart skipped a beat when the old master brought up what happened six years ago.

Then, he heard the old master talking again.

“Everyone, including Maddie, thought that you were forced by an old fart to marry a woman you don’t love. However, in reality, you know the reason why you married Maddie.”

After he heard that, a hint of panic appeared in Jeremy’s eyes.

He looked like a child who had made a mistake. At that moment, he felt as if he was at a loss.

Old Master Whitman looked disdainfully at Jeremy in rumination. “You liked Maddie from a very long time ago. In order to prevent other people from stealing her away from you, you decided to marry her so that she can become Mrs. Whitman. However, why didn’t you admit it? Why did you want to torture her and hurt her?”

Jeremy curled the corners of his lips into a bitter smile when he was faced with the old master’s questions. “I was wrong.”

“Make amends and make things right if you know you’re at fault.”

“She won’t forgive me,” Jeremy said, “She doesn’t love me anymore.”

When he said this, Jeremy felt as if his heart was being gnawed by a million ants. He was the only one who could feel the debilitating pain.

“I don’t know if Maddie still loves you, but I know she won’t be able to get too close to Felipe.”

When Jeremy heard that, he lifted his head. “Grandpa, what secrets does Felipe have? Why do I feel like he’s very hostile toward me?”
