Chapter 52

Madeline’s face turned white. She was indeed so dirty and battered in his heart.

“Jeremy, put some respect in your words!” Daniel pulled Madeline behind him and the atmosphere between them suddenly became a state of mutual hostility.

Jeremy chuckled lowly. “Respect? You’re in cahoots with a wedded woman in public and you’re still trying to talk to me about respect?

He was using sharp words, showing that he did not even care about Madeline’s feelings.

“When have you treated Maddie as your wife? Plus, she’s not your wife anymore!” Daniel was not afraid of Jeremy. He was facing him head-on.

Jeremy’s face was covered with a layer of cold air. He looked at Madeline with an eerie look in his eyes. “Is this how you seduce a man outside?”

Madeline felt a chill running down her spine. She did not understand the frustration in Jeremy’s eyes.

He reached his hand over and pulled Madeline to his side. His arrogant eyes peered at Daniel. “She’s still my lawfully wedded wife, and even if I’m tired of her one day, I won’t let you have the chance to get my hand-me-downs.”

He humiliated Madeline with the cruelest words he could think of, and after he said that, he pushed Madeline into his car roughly.

Daniel rushed over to stop him when he saw this, but when he saw Madeline stopping him with her eyes, he stood still.

Plus, what Jeremy said just now was lingering in his head. They were still married…

Madeline did not know where Jeremy was taking her. He was driving very fast, causing her to feel dizzy and nauseous.

She remembered what he warned her about and she burst out laughing all of a sudden while she looked at the man who was driving. “You’re going back on your words, Mr. Whitman. You said a woman like me isn’t worthy of getting in your car. Why are you not afraid of me dirtying it now? I’m filthy, don’t you remember?”

After she said that, Jeremy’s face was extremely dark. He did not say anything, but Madeline could feel the car speed up even more.

The feeling of car sickness became more and more intense. Madeline could not endure it anymore.

“Jeremy, stop. Where are you taking me?”

“Do you want to get out and look for Daniel so much?” His tone was icy.

Madeline felt frustrated. “So what? We’re over!”

“Heh.” Jeremy chuckled lowly as if she had just told him a joke. “Madeline, do you think you can start and end a marriage with me any time you want?”

He looked at her with an icy gaze, causing her heart to skip a beat. She did not understand what he was saying.

However, she understood one thing, and it was the fact that Jeremy was going to marry Meredith soon.

If that was the case, their tomfoolery should end soon.

The car finally came to a stop and Madeline saw that it was a high-end beauty salon.

Jeremy pushed Madeline to the staff and told them to make her look decent.

Madeline did not know what Jeremy wanted to do, but she did not want to cooperate with him.

“If you don’t want the people around you to get involved, then do as I say.” He warned her.

The people around her…

Madeline could only think of Ava.

Her grandfather was dead and he could not threaten her with him anymore.

Ava was the only friend Madeline cared about.

One hour later, Madeline’s makeover was done.

She was wearing a champagne-colored gown that accentuated her curves. Her short hair made her face look even more delicate and dainty. She looked extremely classy.

When Jeremy saw Madeline, his eyes lit up, but it disappeared quickly.

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to bring her to Whitman Manor.

When they got out of the car, his warm hand reached over and grabbed Madeline’s waist. His palm was in close contact with her skin.

It was fall and the wind was cold. However, Madeline felt that Jeremy’s palm was burning hot.

“Grandpa wants to see you.”
