Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620

“Made…line…”

Madeline smiled. “If you wish, you can call me ‘Madeline’ as you used to, Grandfather.”

The old master’s brows relaxed as a relieved and pleased expression washed over his hollow features.

Jeremy watched the scene from afar, the corners of his lips tugging into a smile. However, as he stared at Madeline, all that could be seen in his eyes was heartache.

‘No, Linnie.

‘I never wish for you to be Madeline Crawford again.

‘You’re Eveline Montgomery, the pearl and heart of the Montgomery family. You’re no longer the Madeline who was used by the Crawford family.’

Mirth bled into his peach-blossom eyes as he thought to himself.

…

Two hours later, Karen returned with a dressed wound and a considerate Yvonne in tow.

Realizing that Madeline was not in the house, she walked up the stairs to change into a new set of clothes.

Entering the room, Karen realized that her wallet and the jewelry she had placed on the vanity table were gone—including the jewelry box!

“Madeline Crawford!” Karen fumed, banging open the door and running down the stairs.

Pretending to be confused, Yvonne followed closely after Karen. “What’s wrong, Aunty Karen? Aunty Karen!”

Madeline was just tucking the old master in bed when she heard a ruckus from outside the room.

Not wishing to disturb the old master, she closed the door behind her when she left.

Karen was furious as she searched for Madeline. When she saw her appear in front of her, Karen immediately rushed over without another word.

With the cane striking down, Madeline felt a gust of wind brush past her.

Jeremy looped an arm around Madeline’s shoulders and pulled her into his chest while the other reached out to hold the cane in place. His actions were followed by a cold tone drifting from his lips. “As long as I’m alive, no one will bully Linnie again.”

Yvonne could not help but shiver as his bone-chilling eyes bore into them.

Karen refused to back down with how furious she was. She pointed at Madeline, her expression pale. “Jeremy! This woman made my head bleed. She also stole my jewelry and wallet! It’s obvious that she’s against me!”

“Bullsh*t.” Jeremy chuckled. “Ignoring the fact that Linnie has both wealth and fame now, she would never touch your money even if she doesn’t have a cent to her name.”

Winston entered the room as he heard the chaos.

Understanding the situation, he spoke sternly, “There’s no way. Why would Madeline steal your jewelry and wallet?”

“You’re on her side too?” Karen was so frustrated that she was one step away from vomiting blood.

At that moment, the old master’s care worker approached them carefully. “Excuse me, but I… I think I know who hit Madam just now.”
