Madeline froze in place. An indescribable surge of emotions started rippling in virtual-novel.net heart.
Her dark world lit up immediately as the hoping light warmed virtual-novel.net long-frozen heart.
“Jeremy, Jeremy…”
Madeline was on the verge of breaking down.
Her mind went blank, and virtual-novel.net was staring at the man in the crowd.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net heard a lot of people whispering around her.
“Isn’t that Mr. Whitman?”
“Yeah, that’s him.”
“Why did virtual-novel.net change his image? Is virtual-novel.net wearing colored contacts?”
“He looks pretty good this way. As long as he’s good-looking, virtual-novel.net can do anything virtual-novel.net wants to his appearance.”
Madeline’s grip on virtual-novel.net wine glass tightened when virtual-novel.net heard what the guests said.
Did virtual-novel.net dye his hair?
Was virtual-novel.net wearing color contacts?
She looked at the man in confusion. She had a million thoughts racing in virtual-novel.net head and wanted to run toward him.
However, virtual-novel.net last ounce of reason stopped her.
She attended this party as Ryan’s wife. The people in the circle knew virtual-novel.net and Ryan were husband and wife as well, although nobody knew their marriage was fake.
If virtual-novel.net was overly passionate about Jeremy right now, Ryan would become the butt of the joke.
Ryan had helped virtual-novel.net with so many things throughout this period, so how could virtual-novel.net let other people gossip about him?
However, the most important thing right now was that Madeline was also confused about whether that person was Jeremy.
Ryan could sense Madeline’s hesitation and conflict. He said softly, “The reason I married you is to protect you and your family. If that’s really virtual-novel.net and he’s back, then I’ll hand you back to him.”
When Madeline heard that, virtual-novel.net looked at the smiling man with no words to express virtual-novel.net gratitude toward him. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
“You think that’s virtual-novel.net too, right?” virtual-novel.net asked in a shaky voice.
Ryan frowned in doubt. “Seems like it. He looks almost the same as Jeremy.”
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head lightly. No, virtual-novel.net did not just look like him.
There were no two people in this world with the same features. No…
Madeline’s heart started racing. At this moment, virtual-novel.net heard the man’s voice that was as clear as day coming from the crowd. He said, “Everyone, even though I’ve changed my image, don’t worry, I’m still the same man you know. I’m the current president of Whitman Corporation, Jeremy Whitman.”
The man’s seductive voice sounded hoarse when it fell into Madeline’s ears. At that moment, Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net heartbeat had gone into overdrive.
Tears escaped virtual-novel.net eyes and drenched virtual-novel.net face.
“Jeremy, you’re still alive. Jeremy…”
Madeline could not control virtual-novel.net emotions anymore. She placed virtual-novel.net wine glass down to walk over to that man.
However, Jeremy turned around at the same time. He had received a phone call and was walking toward the door.
“Go. He must’ve missed you,” Ryan smiled and said magnanimously.
“Thank you, Rye.” Madeline thanked and lifted the hem of virtual-novel.net dress before walking in the direction where Jeremy left.
Ryan looked at virtual-novel.net back and felt a hint of loss in his heart.
‘Eveline, even though the main reason for marrying you was to protect you, you have no idea that I’ve started to develop selfish reasons.’
Madeline walked out of the venue and walked along the red carpet in the corridor.
‘Jeremy, where did you go?”
