Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1019 – Staring at Ryan’s
outstretched hand, Madeline could not help but think of Jeremy.
Just what did she need to do to completely cut this man out of her mind and life?
Was she supposed to throw herself into a new feeling?
“Life is hardly ever smooth-sailing, Eveline. Give yourself a chance to start over, and give the people who care
about you a chance as well.”
Ryan reached out to Madeline.
However, before his hand could touch her, a mocking voice sounded in the air.
“Tsk. There are so many guests waiting for you outside, Miss Montgomery, and you still have the time to waste it
flirting with a man over here? I should’ve known that charity is always done for the sake of image.”

Madeline and Ryan looked up to see Lana approaching them in a seductive evening gown.
Standing beside her was Jeremy Whitman.
Madeline had not seen the man again after she decisively broke it off with Jeremy by the seaside in April Hill.
Yet here he was, attending the charity gala with Lana on his arm.
Madeline averted her gaze coldly and turned to Lana. “The host didn’t send you an invitation. Who let you in?”
“You’re right, but the host sent one to Whitman Corporation, didn’t they?” Jeremy parted his lips, his peach blossom
eyes staring at Madeline’s icy and otherworldly appearance.
Lana quirked her lips proudly. “Did you hear that, Miss Montgomery? My boyfriend received an invitation from the
host. As his girlfriend, can’t I even come along to take a look?”
“Please, help yourself.” Madeline fired back without restraint. “However, this is a charity gala, after all. The guests
present are all charitable and loving people, but what about you? You’re just a vile and heinous woman.”
“…” Lana’s smile instantly fell as she turned to Jeremy. “I think your ex-wife still has feelings for you, Jeremy. Why
else would she pick on me like this?”
“Is that so?” Jeremy curled his lips into an intrigued smile as he took in Madeline’s frosty features. “Am I that
attractive, Eveline? I’ve hurt you time and time again, yet you’re still interested in me?”
Madeline never expected to hear such ironic words coming from Jeremy’s mouth. After staring nonchalantly at the
man with a twinkle in his eyes, she then turned to give Ryan a gentle smile. “Let’s get back to the hall.”
Ryan replied with a gentle smile and followed Madeline away.
Glaring harshly at Madeline and Ryan’s retreating figures, Lana loosened her grip from Jeremy’s hand. “I need to
make a call, Jeremy.”
Jeremy nodded coolly and turned his head to watch Madeline leave.
She was wearing a midnight blue gown with her long hair loosely tied up. The azure jewels were subtle yet still
elegant as they embellished her dress and makeup.
She reminded him of the night sky, twinkling yet still laid-back.

He could no longer tell if it was the slow-acting poison or his heart aching.
Madeline returned to the banquet hall where everyone was happily chatting with one another under the shining
lights.
They had raised an accumulated fund of 80 million dollars for children in poverty-stricken areas.
Friends of the late Montgomery couple praised Madeline for her skills while they gave their condolences for the loss
of Sean and Eloise.
Madeline was taking pictures with a few well-known gentlemen and madams when the worker responsible for the
gala’s funding suddenly rushed up to Madeline.
“Something has happened, Ms. Montgomery.”
Madeline and Ryan shared a look before walking to the side. “What happened?”
“We’ve raised over a hundred million dollars but there’s only 80 million. We don’t know where the 30 million dollars
went!” Beads of cold sweat were on the person in charge’s forehead.
