Chapter 700

‘Felipe has a sister?’

Madeline was surprised when she heard the girl explaining. “I’m not Felipe’s biological sister. My parents died when I was 15. During the lowest and most helpless point of my life, Felipe appeared and financially supported me. That’s how I managed to graduate from university this year. It’s all thanks to Felipe.”

Madeline understood. At the same time, she also vaguely understood why Felipe would support her financially from her words.

It was because both of them had also lost their parents.

Perhaps Felipe felt sorry for this girl because of their shared experience.

Madeline then drove Felipe and Cathy back to the house in the suburbs.

The maid had already prepared Cathy’s room for her.

Madeline was about to go back as it was getting late, but Felipe stopped her.

He held her gently and caressed her long hair with his fingers. “Eveline, I missed you so much after I left.”

He told her how he missed her and how his longing for her came from his heart.

Madeline leaned against Felipe’s chest emotionlessly. She could not stop herself from recalling how she felt when she was with Jeremy.

“Eveline, are you okay with me bringing Cathy here?” he asked her as if he was asking for her permission.

Madeline escaped from Felipe’s hold and said, “Of course, your house is her house too.”

Felipe smiled tenderly, his deep eyes staring straight at Madeline’s face.

He caressed her eyebrow with his warm fingertips, then they slowly traveled down to her lips. “Why are you bleeding here? Are you hurt?”

Madeline’s face heated up after she heard that, and she lifted her hand to touch her lip. “Maybe I accidentally bit myself just now.”

She wiped away the dried blood hurriedly.

Felipe’s eyes shifted as he watched the changes in Madeline’s expression like he was in deep thought.

“Felipe, it’s late. I want to go home now. Jack and Lily are waiting for me.”

“Okay.” Felipe did not stop her.

Cathay turned around dispiritedly when she saw this from outside the study.

After Madeline went home, Felipe called Meredith.

Meredith told him everything about Yvonne kidnapping Madeline and Karen. However, she did not mention anything about her slandering Madeline online and her attempts to seduce Jeremy.

She was terrified of Felipe. This man was truly something else if he was able to save her from execution.

However, Felipe did not just have Meredith as his pawn. His subordinate whom he had planted here told him about Meredith’s whereabouts these few days after a short while.

He also presented the photo of Jeremy and Madeline kissing in the car to him.

Felipe was livid and smashed the iPad into pieces. His usually calm and composed face was overtaken by a hint of darkness.

He called Meredith and ordered her to come to his place with a tone that was extremely cold. One could not decipher his emotions at this moment.

After he hung up the phone, he threw it onto the desk. He spat out a few words frigidly. “Teach her a lesson. Just leave her with one last breath.”

“Roger, Mr. Whitman.”

Meredith arrived at his place in the middle of the night, feeling terrified. When she got there, she was dragged to the basement by Felipe’s bodyguards where she was beaten violently.

When she was gasping for air, Felipe appeared in front of her. He was towering over her as he peered at her. At that moment, he looked like a tyrant who had control over everything. He had a stern and murderous aura around him.

Meredith wheezed and begged for mercy. “I won’t do it again. I really won’t…”

Felipe squatted and looked disdainfully at her face that was similar to Madeline’s. “I don’t think you’re taking what I say seriously.”

“No, I won’t do it again. I swear.” Meredith’s eyes were filled with terror.

Felipe scoffed. “You even went to that perfumer to buy an aromatherapy kit to try to seduce Jeremy.

However, do you know who that perfumer Nell is?”
