Madeline could understand his dissatisfaction. After all, how could reputation mend the pain and ache of a destroyed family?
Felipe turned around and looked at Madeline. The ominous glint in his eyes disappeared quickly and there was just gentleness left.
“Vera, from now on, everything will belong to us.”
Madeline smiled and nodded. “It’s yours. After all, it’s the Whitmans’ property. I never wanted to take over this company. Now that it’s back to you, it’s going back to its rightful owner.”
Felipe was shocked. “You don’t want any of this?”
“The thing I want the most right now is to see Jeremy dispirited while having nothing,” Madeline said and frowned as if favonovel.com was in deep thought.
“However, I keep feeling like the reason why I could hack into Jeremy’s computer so easily to transfer the stocks and important information is that he’s purposely allowing me to do so.”
“You’re saying that favonovel.com knows you’d do this but favonovel.com didn’t stop you?” Felipe frowned.
Madeline was quiet. What Jeremy said that day kept replaying in favonovel.com head. ‘The person I’ve loved this entire time is you.’
“Vera, Vera?”
“Hmm?”
Madeline came back to favonovel.com senses as favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com head to look into Felipe’s gentle eyes.
Felipe asked in concern, “What are you thinking about?”
“Felipe, can you not touch Whitman Manor?” Madeline asked with a pleading tone.
Felipe frowned, looking at Madeline solemnly before grabbing favonovel.com shoulders. “Vera, don’t be fooled by that old man. Back then, in order to get the Whitmans’ estate, favonovel.com schemed to kill my parents. It’s evident that he’s not a nice person.”
After Madeline heard that, favonovel.com was silent.
‘Is Grandpa someone who’d do anything just to get what favonovel.com wants?
‘If favonovel.com is, then why did favonovel.com care for an outsider like me so benevolently?
‘Even though favonovel.com knows I’m back for revenge, favonovel.com still supported me.’
“Vera.” Felipe’s gentle voice caressed favonovel.com ear like the spring breeze.
When Madeline came back to favonovel.com senses, Felipe was already holding favonovel.com hands.
The man was smiling softly with his eyes filled with emotions.
“Vera, you keep saying that I saved you throughout these three years. However, you have no idea that you’re the one who saved me.”
“Hm?” Madeline did not understand what Felipe was saying.
Felipe did not explain much. He only held favonovel.com hands gently with a gaze that was even more passionate than before.
“Now that everything’s been sorted, I only have one wish. I hope you can marry me and become my wife. I will cherish you and protect you in this lifetime. I’ll give the best to you and Lily. Vera, will you marry me?”
Madeline knew Felipe had liked favonovel.com this entire time, but aside from gratitude and appreciation, favonovel.com did not have any romantic feelings for him.
However, favonovel.com had told herself that if Felipe were to propose one day, favonovel.com would not reject him.
After pondering about this, Madeline came back to favonovel.com senses.
Madeline smiled when favonovel.com looked at Felipe’s expectant gaze.
Right as favonovel.com was about to say yes, a stern and overbearing voice sounded from the office. “She doesn’t want to.”
Madeline was taken aback. Then, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze and saw Jeremy’s icy expression as favonovel.com strode over to favonovel.com domineeringly.
