Chapter 754
Madeline stared at the frowning man confusedly. “It plagued me back then whether you were truly blind to Meredith’s pitiful act. Yet your actions have been telling me that you knew what she was doing and still you defended her because of how much you loved her.
“What I never expected was that the reason behind your blind acceptance was a result of the promise you made to me when we were young.
“It had not occurred to me that you would take a childhood joke so seriously to the point of ignoring what was right and wrong, all just to keep the vow.”
Madeline found Jeremy staring deeply at her. “It wasn’t a joke. I promised you something, Linnie, and I’ll do everything I can to fulfill it, but that doesn’t change the fact that I was blinded.”
Just then, Felicity walked out of the manor and was sent home in a private car.
Jeremy and Madeline recollected their feelings and followed behind. However, due to Jeremy’s unfamiliarity with F Country’s roads, they lost sight of the private car once they made it out to the bigger roads.
Thinking about their next course of action, Madeline was shocked to see Ava on the streets outside the windows.
Ava was in F Country.
It was only when Madeline alighted the car to greet her that she came to know that Ava had come to F Country for business.
Ava was shocked to see Madeline as well. Upon realizing that Madeline had come with Jeremy, displeasure surfaced on her expression.
Recognizing the distaste for him in Ava’s expression, Jeremy left mindfully.
Madeline and Ava were left to chat in a dessert shop by the streets.
Ava was in disbelief as Madeline retold the latest events.
“How could that be? Felipe has always held himself with the poise of a gentleman. How could he possibly have someone do that to Lillian just so he can cause a rift between you and Jeremy…”
The truth was too harsh for Ava to continue, so she changed the subject.
“So that’s why you and Jeremy are here? To find out the truth?”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “I have to get justice for my daughter.”
