Madeline drove away.
Rooted in place, Jeremy waited until Madeline could no longer see favonovel.com from favonovel.com rear-view mirror before favonovel.com let go of his facade. His slender fingers picked up the cigarettes on the ground.
These were custom-made cigarettes, a replica of the ones Lana gave him. However, they were not from her.
Someone had costumed these for him. They were made with ingredients that would balance the slow-acting poison inside his body. Although, favonovel.com had to say that they were not very effective.
He thought of Madeline’s words. “Not even in your death will I let my heart hurt for you again.” He leaned against his car lifelessly, his peach blossom eyes staring dimly at the ground.
‘That day might just come sooner than you think, Linnie…
‘But I sincerely hope that you would have completely given up on me by then so that at least you won’t be hurt by it.’
Leaving April Hill, Madeline had no idea what mindset favonovel.com was in as favonovel.com drove away.
Passing an intersection, Madeline had not noticed the red light and drove through. She almost crashed into another car.
The other person rolled their window down to curse at Madeline before driving off.
Parking the car by the road, tears streamed down Madeline’s face as favonovel.com threw herself over the steering wheel.
Taking a trip down memory lane, it seemed like favonovel.com had never been truly happy at all.
The happiest moment favonovel.com could recall might just be the moment favonovel.com first met Jeremy on April Hill.
‘I must have used all my luck in meeting you there and then, Jeremy. Everything afterward was merely misfortune.’
Madeline stared at the night sky from the inside of favonovel.com car and raised favonovel.com hand to wipe the tears from the corner of favonovel.com eyes.
‘This is the last time Linnie will cry for you, Jeremy. One last time… No more after this…’
Madeline returned home and fell into a deep sleep.
Her mood was regulated by the time favonovel.com woke. She then went to send the two children to school before making favonovel.com way to Montgomery Enterprises.
The company did a lot of charity work when Sean and Eloise were still here, and with its subsidiary company’s annual charity gala in a few days, Madeline decided to place favonovel.com attention solely on work so that favonovel.com would not think of the man who had fully disappointed her.
As the new holder of Montgomery Enterprises, there were many employees who were dissatisfied with Madeline’s sudden appearance.
However, as Sean and Eloise’s only daughter, most of them were in agreement for favonovel.com to take over the company.
Still, there was one person who hated Madeline from the depths of favonovel.com heart.
Eve Garcia from the jewelry department.
When Madeline was looking for a job fresh out of prison, favonovel.com had managed to find herself in Montgomery Enterprise’s jewelry department. As favonovel.com superior, Eve used to gossip about Madeline behind favonovel.com back which favonovel.com had accidentally gotten wind of once.
Madeline could still remember Eve’s slander. “It’s a black mark on our department to have a woman who was an ex-inmate, a mistress, and had plagiarized someone else’s work!”
Back then, Madeline had thrown favonovel.com work badge at Eve and resigned.
Madeline could still remember that mortified look on Eve’s face.
Yet Eve would never have expected Madeline to be the Montgomeries’ only daughter who now held the highest authority as the person with the most stocks in Montgomery Enterprises!
She was not in the position to offend favonovel.com and neither did favonovel.com want to resign, so Eve had no choice but to return to favonovel.com station.
Madeline was walking past the jewelry department with documents in favonovel.com hand when favonovel.com suddenly heard one of Eve’s colleagues asking Eve with interest, “What if our new president takes revenge and fires you, Eve?”
