Chapter 464
Madeline could understand his dissatisfaction. After all, how could reputation mend the pain and ache of a destroyed family?
Felipe turned around and looked at Madeline. The ominous glint in his eyes disappeared quickly and there was just gentleness left.
“Vera, from now on, everything will belong to us.”
Madeline smiled and nodded. “It’s yours. After all, it’s the Whitmans’ property. I never wanted to take over this company. Now that it’s back to you, it’s going back to its rightful owner.”
Felipe was shocked. “You don’t want any of this?”
“The thing I want the most right now is to see Jeremy dispirited while having nothing,” Madeline said and frowned as if she was in deep thought.
“However, I keep feeling like the reason why I could hack into Jeremy’s computer so easily to transfer the stocks and important information is that he’s purposely allowing me to do so.”
“You’re saying that he knows you’d do this but he didn’t stop you?” Felipe frowned.
Madeline was quiet. What Jeremy said that day kept replaying in her head. ‘The person I’ve loved this entire time is you.’
“Vera, Vera?”
“Hmm?”
Madeline came back to her senses as she lifted her head to look into Felipe’s gentle eyes.
Felipe asked in concern, “What are you thinking about?”
“Felipe, can you not touch Whitman Manor?” Madeline asked with a pleading tone.
Felipe frowned, looking at Madeline solemnly before grabbing her shoulders. “Vera, don’t be fooled by that old man. Back then, in order to get the Whitmans’ estate, he schemed to kill my parents. It’s evident that he’s not a nice person.”
