Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Every word he said felt like salt on her fresh and bloody wounds. The bone-piercing pain made her entire body numb.

"Hehe..." Madeline laughed pitifully.

It turned out he was so cruel that he even wiped away the presence of that child.

It turned out he was able to grind his own child's bones to dust for that devil of a woman!

Madeline thought her heart was dead. She thought she would not be able to feel pain anymore.

However, she did not expect those wounds to start burning her again when she met that man once more.

"Jeremy, I didn't expect Madeline to come to cause trouble for me the moment she got out of prison. I'm so scared. I'm so scared that she'll hurt our baby again. She killed our baby once. I don't want it to happen a second time."

Meredith leaned against Jeremy's chest while sobbing tearfully.

She was speaking so innocently, but it was evident that she was purposely lighting the fire of anger in Jeremy's heart.

Just as the woman expected, Jeremy frowned as his malicious and terrifying gaze landed on Madeline.

"Madeline, do you think that three years in prison was too short for you? If you want to go back in there, you can tell me. Don't let me catch you harassing Mer again!"

He pushed Madeline away roughly and warned with an icy tone. His protection and tolerance for Meredith were even more intense than before. It was all evident in his voice.

Madeline staggered and fell on the floor. She quivered from the pain in her entire body.

When she recalled the beatings and sufferings from those 1,000 nights and days, her heart started beating faster.

She did not want to go back to that place with no justice.

Madeline gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. The bone-deep love that she had for Jeremy in her eyes suddenly changed drastically.

She hated this!

She hated everything that evil woman, Meredith, did! She hated this man's cold-bloodedness and cruelty! She also hated him for allowing Meredith to do those things devoid of all morality directly or indirectly again and again.

Why should her precious daughter atone for this devil woman, Meredith's, crimes?

Meredith was the one who deserved to die!

"Jeremy, let's go. Today is our darling's second birthday. Let's not make Mom and Dad and the rest wait too long for us," Meredith said sweetly. After she said that, she grabbed Jeremy's hand to turn around. Madeline's heart had been sliced with a knife.

Heh, how ironic.

Today was also the birthday of her precious daughter who was killed mercilessly.

If she was alive, she would have been two.

She lifted her head to look at their backs. That image pieced her eyes like needles.

What kind of man was she obsessed with for so many years?

Those beautiful promises when they were young had turned into an imaginary dream. Now, it was time for her to wake up from this dream.

Madeline found a place to set up a tomb for her lost child. It was right next to her grandfather.

After Ava knew what happened, she was livid. She grabbed a cleaver and was about to go to demand an explanation from Jeremy and Meredith. However, she was stopped by Madeline.

Who was Jeremy? With his identity and background, who in Glendale dared to cause trouble for him?
