When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s bustling figure, virtual-novel.net did not plan to stop virtual-novel.net and instead turned around to stand in front of the window again to look at the front door of the manor. Then, virtual-novel.net turned on his Bluetooth earphones to listen to what was happening at the door.
Madeline went out of the door after a while. She pretended to not see Jeremy but Jeremy stopped his car next to her.
She looked over in fake surprise and pretended to be shocked. “Mr. Whitman? Why are you here?”
Jeremy did not say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline. “Get in.”
“…” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds and did not know what to do. She looked at the French window where virtual-novel.net was at just now with the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes before getting into the car.
The more familiar virtual-novel.net used to be with this passenger seat, the more touched virtual-novel.net felt now.
She looked cautiously at the rear-view mirror. When virtual-novel.net made sure no one was following her, virtual-novel.net let out a sigh of relief in secret.
She kept feeling that Carter had asked someone to watch virtual-novel.net every move.
He could always know immediately the moment something happened to her.
“Why did you go into the manor just now?” Jeremy asked curiously.
The man had indeed asked this question.
Madeline did not think much about the answer. She had already made up an answer before virtual-novel.net came out.
“I don’t think I can hide from you anymore, Mr. Whitman.” She sighed apologetically.
Jeremy felt his heart skip a beat. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline who had virtual-novel.net head lowered sadly.
When virtual-novel.net was about to ask, virtual-novel.net heard Madeline answering, “Actually, I’m working part-time here as well. I want to make more money to treat my face. However, don’t you worry, Mr. Whitman. I’ll quit my job over here so I can concentrate my thoughts and efforts in taking care of Mrs. Montgomery.”
After Jeremy heard that, virtual-novel.net tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “If you need money, I can lend you some.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Whitman. I don’t need that for now.” Madeline declined.
Jeremy curled the corners of his lips superficially. “I don’t think you need it either.”
“…”
“You can continue to work both jobs. I believe in your abilities,” Jeremy said suddenly. His gaze lingered on Madeline’s face for a few seconds. “Don’t mind the rumors and gossip online. Even though appearance is important, a person’s heart is more important.”
“…”
Judging from what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net figured that Jeremy had read about the people attacking virtual-novel.net online.
Madeline nodded and did not say anything. They returned to Whitman Manor in silence.
When Madeline went back to the living room, virtual-novel.net spotted Naomi. She was grinning as virtual-novel.net walked toward Jeremy. She even imitated virtual-novel.net voice to call out to Jeremy softly, “Jeremy, you’re back. Oh, why is Quinny back at the same time as you?”
Madeline did not hesitate before retorting, “Mr. Whitman is a nice man. He purposely went to where I did my business to fetch me back.”
“…” Naomi’s eyes fell. However, virtual-novel.net expression still looked warm and friendly.
“Quinny, I’m so sorry that you fell into the lake while saving my mother. I saw someone taking a video of your face and they even put it online. I feel so sad for you.”
Madeline never felt such an intense hatred for virtual-novel.net own face. At the end of the day, the person virtual-novel.net hated was the woman who was using virtual-novel.net face while being pretentious.
When virtual-novel.net thought about Naomi’s conceited face, Madeline scoffed and mocked coldly. “If you’re truly sorry, Mrs. Whitman, you wouldn’t have intentionally pulled down my mask and embarrassed me in front of everyone.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, the living room fell silent.
Karen, who was holding Pudding, was also stunned.
Naomi did not expect Madeline to say that. When virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy judging virtual-novel.net with a curious and probing gaze, Naomi started to feel anxious. “Quinny, how could you say that? When did I pull down your mask? You’re the careless one—”
“Mrs. Whitman, stop quibbling. Do you want to see the proof?”
