Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 76

Madeline realized Ava’s last sentence had completely offended Jeremy.

He suddenly put out the cigarette and looked like Satan from the underworld. Then, he pulled Madeline

into his arms.

Ava, who had lost Madeline’s support, faltered and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

“Ava!”

Madeline shouted nervously as she tried to run over and help Ava. However, Jeremy forcibly pushed

her into the car.

The man was full of hostility. “Madeline, is this what you did? You lied to your good friend that I let you

down and portrayed yourself as a victim? You’re really something else.”

Jeremy stared at Madeline angrily. It was as if he was trying to penetrate her with his eyes.

“The promise between us? What promise did I make to you? Can you stop dreaming?”

Once again, he erased the promises and agreements he had made to her back then.

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to remember those beautiful vows anymore.

Those memories had long been left with only a black outline. They would disappear into nothing with a

gust of wind.

She stopped thinking about that. At this moment, she was worried about Ava.

“Jeremy, let me go down and take Ava home. The weather is so cold and it’s late at night. What if

something happens?”

“Everyone should be responsible for what they say.”

Jeremy’s words were meaningful, and his anger was obvious on his icy face.

Madeline realized that Jeremy might take action against Ava. When he was about to start the car, she

stretched out her hands and grabbed his arm abruptly. Her eyes were red.

“Jeremy, Ava is just seeking justice on my behalf. Everything’s my fault, and you can come at me with

any dissatisfaction you have!

“I’ll accept whatever you do to me as long as you stop being angry with Ava. You can even send me

back to prison or you can ask someone to beat me again. If one round of beatings isn’t enough, then

you can hit me again. Please don’t target Ava! Jeremy, Mr. Whitman, oh great Mr. Whitman! I’m

begging you! Please!”

If it were not for the environmental restrictions, Madeline would have knelt.

Jeremy looked at Madeline as she kept begging for mercy while on the brink of an emotional

breakdown. Suddenly, he felt as if he was in a trance. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

In his memory, Madeline was stubborn and strong. He did not know when she started begging him like

this. She had begged him to believe her and begged him to let her go.

Jeremy was a little annoyed when he unlocked the car. “Three minutes.”

He went easy on her, and tears stung Madeline’s eyes. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. Thank you so much,

Mr. Whitman!”

She thanked him profusely and quickly got out of the car. She struggled to lift Ava who had fallen on

the ground. Then, she pulled her back to the apartment.

When Madeline left, Ava kept muttering, “Maddie, don’t be fooled by that man anymore. He’s not

worthy of your love…”

Jeremy took Madeline back to their home.

Madeline did not know what Jeremy’s intention was. She tried her best to keep up for fear of angering

this man again.

While Jeremy was taking a shower, Madeline washed Felipe’s clothes.

Now knowing that Felipe was Jeremy’s uncle, Madeline felt that it was a little weird to help her uncle

wash his clothes.

However, she did not have that much money to send such expensive clothes to the dry cleaner. That

was why she could only hand wash them.

When Madeline was almost done washing, Jeremy’s icy voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

“What are you doing?”
