Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1501

When Madeline heard this, she could expect what Naomi was going to do next.

However, one of her hands was holding Eloise’s hand and she did not want to push Eloise away. As such, when she

was about to hide her face from Naomi, Naomi quickly pretended to get close to her to whisper in her ear when in

reality, she did it to rip the mask from her face.

Her face was wet from the lake water. Aside from the liveliness and the beauty of her eyes, the hideous scars that

were left on her face after she was burned entered everyone’s vision.

“Damn! What’s wrong with her face?”

“No wonder she’s wearing a mask.”

“My gosh, how sad. What happened to her face? It looks like she has been burned.”

“Tsk, tsk, how terrifying. Stop looking.”

The passersby exclaimed from shock. Some even turned their heads to avoid looking at Madeline’s face.

Others had been recording the entire time, so they captured this scene and uploaded it online.

When Naomi heard the reactions of the people around her, she was delighted. The corner of her lips even started

to curl into a smirk.

“How is it? Are you devastated after seeing them laugh at you?” Naomi lowered her voice and mocked. “Hmph,

Eveline, tell them you’re Eveline Montgomery if you dare. Tell Jeremy and the rest of the world how shameful you

look now. However, you’d best be prepared to feel even more devastated when he abandons you!”

Madeline clenched her fists and listened to Naomi’s mockings. At the same time, she kept hearing people around

her saying that she was ugly and her face was horrifying.

She stayed silent for two seconds. Then, she calmly turned around and walked behind Eloise to push her

wheelchair.

Madeline started calmly walking forward despite the crowd’s criticizing gaze.

Naomi was thrilled when she saw Madeline’s straightened back.

‘Eveline, I know you’re forcing yourself.

‘However, despite how strong you are, you won’t be completely unaffected.

‘Because you’re a woman too. No woman can accept themselves turning ugly, and they also can’t accept so many

people criticizing their looks.’

On the way back to Whitman Manor, Madeline came across some people who were just passing by. Everyone who

saw her would be shocked and they would move away from her.

Madeline had no choice. She could only push Eloise back to the manor.

When they entered the house, the maids were all shocked when they saw her face. Then, they started to display

strange looks in their eyes.

Madeline was used to this. She walked in front of Eloise and smiled softly. “Mrs. Montgomery, I need to go back to

my room to shower and change. I’ll come back to you later.”

Eloise grabbed Madeline’s hand, her eyes looking extremely gentle. “You’ll get better. You’ll definitely get better.”

She repeated this.

Madeline smiled. “Thank you, Mrs. Montgomery.”

After she said that, Madeline handed Eloise to the other maid before going back to her room to take a shower.

She had the cold water on and lifted her face to let the water wash over her.

It was late autumn, and she did not feel a clear realization from the cold water splashing onto her skin. On the

contrary, she felt a slight sting of pain from the cold.

However, Madeline could not notice it anymore. She needed to stay calm and wanted to use this way to temporarily

numb her emotions.

After a long while, she felt a numbing pain on her face and realized she was being too rash.

She quickly dried herself and softly patted the water droplets on her face with a towel until dry.

After it was done, she put down her towel slowly. Under the bright lights, she saw the ugly scars on her face due to

the burns. She clenched her fingers shakily.

She looked so horrifying now!

She could not even look at herself now!

‘Why?’

Madeline felt exhausted. Why did disasters keep happening to her?

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1502

Suddenly, she became very pessimistic, especially after she saw Naomi’s arrogant, confident, and pleased face

when she was sure that she did not have the guts to face Jeremy. Madeline could not accept this.

She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She kept on telling herself to calm down.

However, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she could not keep calm.

She turned around and forced herself to not look.

She stood with her back to the mirror for a very long time. She endured the discomfort on her face when suddenly,

she remembered something and there was a glint in her dull, lifeless eyes.

Perhaps she should try it.

Madeline thought about it and put on her clothes and mask.

When she was about to go out, she heard knockings on the door.

Madeline walked over to open the door. To her surprise, she saw Jeremy upon opening the door.

Their eyes met, and Madeline was slightly taken aback. However, she pretended to stay calm. “How can I help you,

Mr. Whitman?”

Madeline was curious indeed. Should Jeremy not be at work after sending the children to school? Why did he come

back?

Plus, she did not know if she was delusional but she felt that Jeremy’s eyes were intentionally avoiding her face.

“Are you okay?” After a long while, Jeremy finally asked.

‘Okay?’

Madeline shifted her eyes in puzzlement before remembering what happened in the park just now.

“You heard about it too, Mr. Whitman? About what happened just now?”

“Yeah.” Jeremy nodded. “So, are you okay?”

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Whitman. I’m fine.” Madeline’s answer was straight to the point. “I’m sorry, Mr.

Whitman, I need to go out for a bit. Can I take a day off?”

“Are you going out? Let me drive you.”

“…” Madeline had never seen Jeremy being so passionate and friendly before. She quickly declined. “No need, my

boyfriend will pick me up.”

Madeline had no choice, so she could only use Carter as an excuse to decline Jeremy.

She could notice the subtle changes on Jeremy’s face. However, she did not have time to think too much about it.

After Madeline got out of the house, she called a cab from the side of the road.

When Jeremy saw Madeline getting into the car, he got into his own car and followed behind her.

Even though Madeline had only gone to Adam’s place once, she still remembered where it was as clear as day.

After she arrived at Adam’s home, Madeline stood at the door and hesitated.

When she was hesitating, the woman named Amy walked out of the house. However, to Madeline, Amy was Cathy

from before.

Amy spotted Madeline and walked to the door curiously. She looked into Madeline’s eyes and felt a sense of

familiarity. “Are you—”

“I want to see Dr. Brown. Is he home?”

“Oh, you’re looking for Adam.” Amy looked into the house. “Come in, then. He’s home.”

“Thanks.” Madeline let out a sigh of relief before following Amy into the house.

Adam was playing with the children in the living room. When he saw Amy bringing Madeline over, he looked at

Madeline’s eyes curiously for a moment.

“Eveline?” Adam asked probingly.

Madeline did not nod or shake her head. “Adam, I think you’re the only person who can help me now.”

After she said that, she lifted her hand and removed the mask from her face.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1503

The moment Madeline removed her mask, Adam and Amy displayed shocked expressions at the same time.

Adam was confused. “What happened to your face and voice? No, but during the incident in the park near your

house this morning, your face was…”

After Madeline heard this, she understood immediately.

Someone must have posted the video of that incident online and Naomi was probably in the video as well.

Naomi was currently using her identity.

Her face had been perfectly captured in the video.

Looking at Adam’s confused face, Madeline did not beat around the bush anymore. “That’s not me. The Eveline you

saw is Naomi.”

“Naomi?”

Adam immediately understood. He remembered how Naomi had also followed Ryan to Y Country when he was

there and after that, Ryan secretly arranged for Naomi to do something.

As it turned out, he had arranged for Naomi to undergo plastic surgery.

However, Adam was still in shock. He looked at Madeline’s face in disbelief.

Aside from her eyes, there was no place on her face that was intact. There were also a few wounds on her

forehead that had not healed.

Especially the scars on her cheeks. They were so unsightly.

“How did you hurt your face? How did it get so serious? Your voice too. I can’t even recognize your voice. Does

Jeremy not know of your current condition?”

Madeline shook her head and lowered her head in sadness. “He doesn’t.”

“You didn’t tell him? Are you scared that he’ll abandon you after he knows that you’ve become like this?” Adam

could guess Madeline’s considerations. “I think you’re overthinking. He won’t abandon you.”

Madeline smiled bitterly. “I can’t even bear to look at myself. I don’t dare to let my children see the way I look like

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

now either.”

After she said that, Adam fell silent for a few seconds. He could completely understand why Madeline would think

this way.

“Is Ryan really dead?” Adam asked in disbelief.

Madeline nodded and told Adam what happened that day at sea in detail.

After Adam learned about it, he was in even more disbelief. “Ryan was imprisoning you on an island!”

No one expected this.

Madeline nodded, and she had no choice but to recall what happened that day. “When the yacht exploded, he was

on the deck and I was some distance away from the yacht. My face became like this from a distance away, so

he…”

Madeline wanted to say something but stopped herself. She believed Adam could understand her.

“The person who saved me seems to have a special identity. He keeps investigating Jeremy. I thought that it was

pretty suspicious, but he did save me. As such, I can only hide my real identity for now.”

“Who’s the person who saved you?”

“Carter Gray.”

“Carter Gray?” Adam frowned as if he was in deep thought.

“Have you heard of this name before?”

Adam thought about it for a while before shaking his head.

Madeline stayed quiet for a moment and then, the fire of expectations and hope ignited in her eyes again. “Adam, I

know you’ll have a way. You’re the only person who can help me now.”

Madeline said and looked at Amy who was playing with the children. “I believe you can save my face with your

skills.”

Adam slowly understood what Madeline meant.

Actually, he never thought of hiding this from everyone forever.

“Adam, Amy is the Cathy I know, right?”

Madeline asked in a very small voice. She was worried that Amy would hear her as well.

Adam only stayed silent after he heard that and did not say anything.

He was confirming this tacitly without a doubt. Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child]

Chapter 1504 “The twins don’t belong to you and Cathy, right?”

After Adam heard that, he unfurrowed his tightly knitted brows.

He looked at Cathy who was playing with the children before getting up. “Amy, I’m taking the patient to my office. If

you feel bored, you can take the children out first. I’ve already made the reservation for the restaurant.”

When Amy heard that, she turned around and looked at Madeline before nodding.

“Go on with your business. I’ll wait for you.”

“Okay.” Adam smiled warmly and pointed to the office. “Come with me.”

Madeline nodded and followed after him. She remembered the last time she came here was for Jeremy’s

treatment. She did not think that today would be her turn.

Adam did not answer the questions about the two children. On the other hand, he helped Madeline check the

wounds on her face carefully and considerately.

After the check-up, he looked at two reports seriously.

“Adam, tell me the truth. Do I really have the chance to recover my face?” Madeline asked anxiously.

“Do you know what’s the job of a doctor?”

“Saving people,” Madeline answered without hesitating.

Adam smiled and said, “For me, it’s not just saving people. I want to challenge the medical problems that people

deem impossible to solve.”

He said and looked at Madeline. There was an abnormally bright glint in his calm black eyes.

“Back then, you were able to give birth to your son under such horrendous circumstances and it was the most

perfect problem that I solved in recent years. So, today, I’ll help you as well. At the same time, I’ll be able to help

myself solve this seemingly difficult question.”

When Madeline heard this, her eyes lit up like how they used to back then.

She was excited when she heard that. When she was about to ask if this was true, she thought that it was

unnecessary.

If Adam could rebuild Cathy’s face, then it meant that his hands were extremely skilled.

Plus, he was not an ordinary doctor. He knew and understood a lot of things.

“Did you have a doctor treating your wounds before?” Adam asked. He walked to his shelf to look for something.

“It’s Carter’s doctor. He’s responsible for treating my face. According to him, my face is still salvageable, but it’ll

take a very long time.”

Adam nodded. “This is indeed something that needs patience. I hope you can keep a calm state of mind. You don’t

have to pay attention to those people online with no propriety in speech and are attacking your looks.”

Madeline smiled while feeling at ease. “I’m used to the way those people at the scene talk about me and look at

me, let alone the ones online. Their reactions are normal. However, I feel even more scared because of this. I’m

worried how terrified Jack and Lily will be if they see their mother like this.”

There was a flash of pity in Adam’s eyes but it quickly went away.

With Madeline’s strong and resilient attitude, he felt that Madeline would not want pity and sympathy.

He grabbed the syringe with the reagent and turned around to walk to Madeline. “I’ll give you a shot to get rid of

the inflammation and swelling. When the wounds on your face start to form scabs, I’ll have a way to get rid of the

marks. As for the slightly worse areas, I’ll use another way to treat them.”

Adam smiled and promised.

“I can’t promise you that I’ll be able to restore your looks to the way they were before, but I’m confident to help

you find back the courage to stand in front of Jeremy.”

It would be enough to help her find her courage.

Madeline looked at the man in front of her. “Thank you, Adam. You’ve helped me a lot before and even now.”

“It’s my duty. You don’t have to thank me.” Adam’s answer was as carefree and confident as usual.

After Madeline received the shot, the discomfort on her face started fading away.

This feeling calmed Madeline down as well.

She wanted to know more about the treatment with Adam when Carter called her.

Madeline had to leave, but before he left, Adam called out to her suddenly.

“You asked me just now if the twins don’t belong to me and Cathy. I’m going to tell you now that you’re right. Those

aren’t our children.”

Madeline looked at Adam with curiosity after she heard that. A face then appeared in her head. “So the children’s

father is…”

“Yes, it’s him.” Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1505 Adam gave her a firm

answer. Even though he did not tell her who the man was, Madeline knew who it was in her heart.

“Cathy and I were from the same university,” said Adam. When he said this, Madeline could see that his eyes were

full of youthful energy from his younger days.

“We were in the same faculty. She was cheerful and gorgeous, so she was the most popular girl in the entire faculty

while I was her senior. We always did experiments together and even went to the library to read together. I know

the person she loved was Felipe, but that man did not love her.”

Adam said calmly. There was no resentment nor repulsion toward Felipe in his words. On the other hand, there was

a slight smile on his face.

“I was surprised when Cathy suddenly came to find me in Glendale that time. I didn’t know you guys knew each

other. I was happy to see her again because she left before she graduated from university. I didn’t have her

contact, so I finally had a chance to contact her that time.

“I knew she wasn’t happy, but she was always so optimistic in front of me. The private doctor Felipe had in F

Country was actually my teacher. When Cathy was on the brink of death, he notified me.”

As it turned out, they knew each other.

Madeline’s suspicions in her heart were gradually solved. However, there was still something she did not

understand.

“If I’m not mistaken, Cathy was shot in the heart that time, so how did she avert the disaster?”

Adam laughed and sighed when he heard this.

“Cathy knew everything about Felipe, but Felipe didn’t know anything about her. He also didn’t know that her heart

is on the right side.

“Cathy did lose a lot of blood back then, but the bullet did not hurt any of her vital organs and that’s why she could

safely make it out of peril.”

When Madeline found out what happened, she felt that it was extremely fortunate.

“Thank God you were around.” Madeline lamented and praised, “Adam, you’re amazing.”

However, Adam chuckled in regret. “If I’m amazing enough, then Cathy wouldn’t be treating me as only her friend.

Even though I’m lying to her and say that we’re husband and wife, she still doesn’t have any feelings for me.”

Madeline could sense Adam’s love for Cathy. However, one could not control feelings.

“Cathy is living a good life now. I won’t let Felipe take her away.”

“To be honest, Felipe is extremely remorseful. The person he had been keeping in his heart had always been Cathy

but he had no idea.”

Madeline explained on behalf of Felipe, but after she said that, she realized that she did not have the right to say

this.

Cathy had suffered so much and it was all thanks to Felipe.

The emotional and physical hurt she suffered could not be wiped away with just remorse or apologies.

Madeline did not stay long. After she thanked Adam, she went back to Carter’s manor.

On the way, Madeline did not notice a car following her.

After Madeline went into the manor, she felt that something was amiss.

When she got to the living room, Madeline knew what was going on.

The young woman who called herself the matriarch of this house was now sitting on the sofa. When she saw

Madeline, she lifted her eyes that were covered with a layer of delicate makeup and arrogantly sized Madeline up

with disdain.

However, she soon changed her attitude from that day and smiled before greeting Madeline, “Hello, I’m Carty’s

childhood sweetheart and best friend. My name’s Ada. I was rude that day, but I hope you won’t mind. I’m here to

apologize to you today.”

She said and got up to walk in front of Madeline. She extended her hand.

“Let’s be friends.”

To be frank, Madeline could sense something sinister behind the woman’s smile. However, she hoped that she was

just overthinking. As such, she reached out her hand to shake the woman’s hand.

“Hello, I’m Eveline.”

“Uh-huh.” The woman smiled superficially.

Madeline smiled back at her, but before their hands could touch each other’s, the woman lifted her hand suddenly

and ripped the mask off her face when Madeline was caught off guard. Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner

Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1506 “OMG!” Ada exclaimed. She acted as if she had just touched the God of

Misfortune and threw the mask in her hand to the floor in disdain.

“I thought you were some out-of-the-world beauty and that’s why Carty kept ignoring me. I didn’t expect you to

look like this! No wonder you’re always wearing a mask. Oh gosh, you’re so hideous! No, you’re not hideous, you’re

horrifying!”

Ada did not keep any propriety in her speech at all. She kept on waving her hand.

“Somebody come here! Get me some disinfectant! I just touched this person’s mask and I don’t know if I might get

infected!”

“I think so,” Madeline uttered those three words slowly from her lips.

Ada was taken aback when she heard that. “What did you say?”

“I was answering your question,” Madeline replied seriously, “My face is so horribly disfigured and there might still

be a lot of toxic bacteria on it. You ripped my mask just now, so I think you must’ve touched the bacteria on the

mask too. You must be careful.”

“…” Ada’s expression changed. “You’re saying that I’ll become like you?”

“Yeah, you’ll become like this too.”

“…” When Ada heard this, her face turned pale from panic. Then, she pointed at Madeline and screeched. “You

framed me on purpose!”

After she said that, Carter appeared on the staircase.

Ada quickly ran to Carter to tell on Madeline. “Carty, that woman framed me! Her face is toxic and I touched her

mask. My hand will rot too!”

Carter frowned and walked past Ada in displeasure to walk in front of Madeline.

“I saw the video of you falling into the lake online. How’s your face?” Carter asked straightforwardly.

Madeline was surprised. “You called me back to ask me this?”

“What else?”

“…” Madeline was shocked. Then, she said, “Thanks for your concern, Mr. Carter. My face is fine.”

“What Mr. Carter? You’re my girlfriend. You can just call me Carter.” Carter deliberately emphasized the word

‘girlfriend’.

Madeline eventually remembered that they were pretending to be a couple. When she noticed the dissatisfaction

on Ada’s face, she said cooperatively, “Okay, Carter.”

Carter nodded in satisfaction. “You should go back to your room. I’ll get the doctor to take a look at you.”

“No need.” Madeline rejected. She did not tell Carter that she had gone to see Adam. She could not let him know

about her true identity. “Don’t worry, my face is fine now.”

“You’re fine, but I’m not!” Ada bit her pink lip angrily. “Carty, are you insane? How can you marry a freak and make

her the daughter-in-law of the Louis family?”

“Shut up,” Carter interrupted Ada angrily. Ada quickly shut her mouth and became as silent as a mouse. Even

though she was displeased, she could only get angry in secret and did not dare to voice out her anger.

Carter turned around and grabbed Madeline’s wrist without saying anything before leading her upstairs. When they

were upstairs, Madeline removed her wrist from Carter’s grip immediately.

Carter turned around in dissatisfaction. “Remember what I told you. You’re my fiancée now.”

He sounded like he was reminding her, but his tone sounded more like a warning.

At this moment, Carter’s entourage rushed to him and whispered in his ear.

Madeline saw a mysterious smile on Carter’s face.

He looked at Madeline and said lazily, “You said Jeremy let you down, abandoned you, and married another woman,

right?”

“…” Madeline did not know why Carter was asking her this all of a sudden. However, she nodded without hesitation.

Carter smirked superficially. “Come with me. I’ll let you see the actual situation now.”

‘What?’

Madeline did not understand what the man was saying. Now, she could only follow him to see what was going on.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1507 Madeline followed behind Carter and

started to feel nervous.

This man was still a mystery to her. In addition to that, she had no idea why he wanted to investigate Jeremy.

Now, he had said something so weird and Madeline had no clue what was going on.

After walking for a bit, Madeline followed him to the French window on the second floor.

The window was huge, so one could get a nice view here.

When Madeline looked out, she saw a familiar car parked outside the front door of the manor.

‘Jeremy!’

Madeline screamed out his name in her heart. However, she could only pretend to be confused on the surface.

“Mr. Carter, you said you’re taking me to see the actual situation, so what’s the actual situation?”

Carter looked at Madeline’s confused face and lifted his dark eyes. Then, his gaze landed on Jeremy’s car.

“Do you not see the car parked outside the door?” he asked, his voice sounding nonchalant. “He followed you all

the way here. Did you not notice him?”

“…” Madeline shook her head. She truly had not noticed Jeremy following her.

If he really followed her all the way here, then did he know about her going to Adam’s place?

“You said he let you down back then and even married another woman named Eveline Montgomery, so you want to

get revenge on him. However, I can see that he’s pretty concerned about you.”

“…”

“He gave you an umbrella when he saw you in the rain. When you were in danger and almost got suffocated by the

thug, he ran over to save you. Now, he secretly followed you to protect you.”

Carter said, looking at Madeline with interest.

“I think he cares about you and didn’t play with your feelings like you said.”

After he said that, Madeline quickly reorganized her thoughts in her head. Then, she asked calmly and decisively,

“Do you think this is protection and concern, Mr. Carter? I don’t think so.”

“Hmm?”

“He might already know who I am, so he’s only probing me.” Madeline purposely sighed in annoyance. She

furrowed her eyebrows together. “I don’t think I’m able to carry out my revenge plan now.”

She said and looked at Carter as if she was asking for help.

“Mr. Carter, can you help me?”

Carter looked at Madeline’s pure and innocent eyes. Then, the suspicions in his heart started disappearing for some

reason.

“If you’re fine, you should go back to Whitman Manor.”

“Will he stop me if I go out now? What if he asks me why I’m in such a beautiful manor? What should I tell him?”

Madeline pretended to look worried.

Carter placed his hands in his pockets and looked at Madeline as if he was in deep thought. Then, he said to the

entourage next to him, “Invite him inside.”

“…” When Madeline heard this, she was stunned. ‘Is this man seriously inviting Jeremy inside?’

“Mr. Carter, I don’t think this is a good idea.” Madeline stopped him immediately. “Why don’t I leave?”

Carter stopped walking, and when he turned around to look at Madeline, she had already walked past him hurriedly.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1508

When he saw Madeline’s bustling figure, he did not plan to stop her and instead turned around to stand in front of

the window again to look at the front door of the manor. Then, he turned on his Bluetooth earphones to listen to

what was happening at the door.

Madeline went out of the door after a while. She pretended to not see Jeremy but Jeremy stopped his car next to

her.

She looked over in fake surprise and pretended to be shocked. “Mr. Whitman? Why are you here?”

Jeremy did not say anything. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline. “Get in.”

“…” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds and did not know what to do. She looked at the French window where she

was at just now with the corner of her eyes before getting into the car.

The more familiar she used to be with this passenger seat, the more touched she felt now.

She looked cautiously at the rear-view mirror. When she made sure no one was following her, she let out a sigh of

relief in secret.

She kept feeling that Carter had asked someone to watch her every move.

He could always know immediately the moment something happened to her.

“Why did you go into the manor just now?” Jeremy asked curiously.

The man had indeed asked this question.

Madeline did not think much about the answer. She had already made up an answer before she came out.

“I don’t think I can hide from you anymore, Mr. Whitman.” She sighed apologetically.

Jeremy felt his heart skip a beat. Then, he looked at Madeline who had her head lowered sadly.

When he was about to ask, he heard Madeline answering, “Actually, I’m working part-time here as well. I want to

make more money to treat my face. However, don’t you worry, Mr. Whitman. I’ll quit my job over here so I can

concentrate my thoughts and efforts in taking care of Mrs. Montgomery.”

After Jeremy heard that, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “If you need money, I can lend you some.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Whitman. I don’t need that for now.” Madeline declined.

Jeremy curled the corners of his lips superficially. “I don’t think you need it either.”

“…”

“You can continue to work both jobs. I believe in your abilities,” Jeremy said suddenly. His gaze lingered on

Madeline’s face for a few seconds. “Don’t mind the rumors and gossip online. Even though appearance is

important, a person’s heart is more important.”

“…”

Judging from what he said, she figured that Jeremy had read about the people attacking her online.

Madeline nodded and did not say anything. They returned to Whitman Manor in silence.

When Madeline went back to the living room, she spotted Naomi. She was grinning as she walked toward Jeremy.

She even imitated her voice to call out to Jeremy softly, “Jeremy, you’re back. Oh, why is Quinny back at the same

time as you?”

Madeline did not hesitate before retorting, “Mr. Whitman is a nice man. He purposely went to where I did my

business to fetch me back.”

“…” Naomi’s eyes fell. However, her expression still looked warm and friendly.

“Quinny, I’m so sorry that you fell into the lake while saving my mother. I saw someone taking a video of your face

and they even put it online. I feel so sad for you.”

Madeline never felt such an intense hatred for her own face. At the end of the day, the person she hated was the

woman who was using her face while being pretentious.

When she thought about Naomi’s conceited face, Madeline scoffed and mocked coldly. “If you’re truly sorry, Mrs.

Whitman, you wouldn’t have intentionally pulled down my mask and embarrassed me in front of everyone.”

After she said that, the living room fell silent.

Karen, who was holding Pudding, was also stunned.

Naomi did not expect Madeline to say that. When she noticed Jeremy judging her with a curious and probing gaze,

Naomi started to feel anxious. “Quinny, how could you say that? When did I pull down your mask? You’re the

careless one—”

“Mrs. Whitman, stop quibbling. Do you want to see the proof?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1509

‘What?

‘Proof?’

Naomi was stunned for two seconds, then she saw Madeline taking out her phone to open an app.

“Mrs. Whitman, you said a lot of people were filming at that time. Coincidentally, someone captured the moment

you ripped my mask off of me. Will you only admit it if I show everyone the video?”

When she heard this, Naomi’s face looked even more horrid.

She wanted to go up and take a look but then Jeremy took Madeline’s phone and opened the video.

When she heard the sound coming from the video, Naomi was sure it was the video from the park that day.

She could hear a lot of people saying that Madeline’s face looked terrifying.

Naomi started to feel guilty. She thought nobody saw her when she ripped Madeline’s mask off. She did not expect

someone to have captured the scene on video.

While she was feeling nervous, she saw Jeremy glancing over at her. This made Naomi even more nervous.

“Jeremy, I-I did mean to remove Quinny’s mask. It’s because she fell into the water and I was worried that her

wounds might get infected, so that’s why I did that.” Naomi quickly found an excuse for herself.

When she heard that, Madeline burst out laughing.

“Mrs. Whitman, do you know what self-induced confession is? It’s what you’re doing now.”

“…”

“Nobody captured the video of you ripping my mask off. I lied to you, but your confession is even more convincing

than any evidence now.”

“…”

Naomi’s face turned one shade paler.

Karen was confused after hearing that. “W-What do you mean?”

Madeline said calmly, “It means that this Mrs. Whitman is not as gentle and kind as the rumors made her out to be.

Sometimes, she’s a little sinister too.”

“…” Naomi was speechless for a moment. Her expression looked even more horrible now.

“Quinny, I think you’ve misunderstood Eveline. She was only worried that you’d get infected by the lake water so

that’s why she removed your mask to check. Eveline didn’t have any bad intentions.” Karen tried to explain on

Naomi’s behalf.

Madeline knew Karen wanted to defend her real daughter-in-law, but she did not know the daughter-in-law in front

of her right now was just an imposter.

“Jeremy, do you want to believe me? I really bear no malice. We’ve been together for so many years, don’t you

know what kind of person I am?”

Naomi walked over to Jeremy and said in a soft tone to use this opportunity to show her softer side. She asked

curiously with a look of grievance.

“Quinny, I’m grateful that you saved Lily and my mother, but why are you always targeting me?”

“Yeah, why am I always targeting you? It’s because you disgust me,” Madeline retorted, not showing any respect

for Naomi at all.

Naomi was stunned, and the corners of her lips started twitching.

Madeline took back her phone from Jeremy and went upstairs.

Karen looked at Madeline’s carefree back and stood up bewilderedly. “Jeremy, what’s wrong with Quinny? It seems

that she keeps targeting Eveline. We can’t let this continue. Even though she saved Lily and Eloise, how can we

continue to let her stay here with that attitude? Why don’t we fire her?”

Jeremy nodded as if he was in deep thought. “I’ll talk to her.”

“Hurry, we can’t wrong Eveline.” Karen waved her hand. She was very protective of Madeline now.

Naomi frowned and had an aggrieved look on her face. As she cursed Madeline in her heart, she was also glad that

Karen was siding with her.

However, she was a little anxious as well. Would anything happen when Jeremy went to talk to Madeline later? As

such, she followed after him.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1510

Madeline had just walked to the door of the room. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jeremy

following closely behind her. As such, she stopped and turned her head.

Jeremy gave her a slight smile when he saw Madeline turning her head to look over.

He approached her gracefully. Then, he hesitated for two seconds before speaking, “I’m sorry you were wronged.”

“…” Madeline was slightly stunned. She thought that Jeremy’s tone and gaze were a little off when he said this to

her.

“Mr. Whitman, aren’t you going to blame me for fooling Mrs. Whitman just now?” Madeline asked.

“I don’t think anyone is fooling my wife,” Jeremy replied with a smile. He was in a pretty good mood.

This puzzled Madeline even more, and it also made her speculate.

Just as he was about to speak, she saw Naomi approaching Jeremy’s back. As such, Madeline reached out and

pushed open the door in front of her.

“Mrs. Whitman is here, so you should go to comfort her first, Mr. Whitman.”

After Madeline finished speaking, she entered the room and locked the door.

She did not know if she was throwing a tantrum when she said that, but she was indeed infuriated when she looked

at Naomi.

After Naomi saw Madeline entering her room, she walked to Jeremy to tell him about her grievances. “Jeremy, it’s

just a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean to remove Quinny’s mask. I just did it out of concern and good intentions.”

Naomi said pitifully while looking at Jeremy’s cold and handsome face.

“Jeremy, you know what kind of person I am in your heart. How could I do something that would embarrass

others?”

Jeremy lifted his eyes to stare straight at the face in front of him. He said, “You’re right. I know what kind of person

Linnie is, so you don’t have to explain anything to me.”

After Naomi heard that, she let out a sigh of relief. “Jeremy, I knew you’d trust me.”

She said before reaching out to hold Jeremy’s hand. However, coincidentally, Jeremy placed his hand into his

pocket. He took out his phone to make a call while walking away.

Naomi stood where she was and glared at the closed door in front of her in dissatisfaction.

“Eveline, I didn’t think you’d be so steadfast. I’ll make you pay.”

She growled, but at the same time, she sensed that this was going to get troublesome.

She was worried that Madeline would expose everything if she was pressed.

Even though she was disfigured, she had something else to prove that she was Eveline.

Her DNA!

She would not allow Madeline to have the opportunity to expose her true identity!

After this kerfuffle ended, Madeline did not mention it again. She would take one hour of her time every day to go to

Adam’s place for treatment.

Madeline did not know if it was psychological or if it was because Adam was indeed a very skilled doctor. After half a

month, Madeline felt that the color of the burnt area on her face had become lighter. Scabs started to form on her

wounds and they were starting to peel off. The scar on her forehead had faded as well and was not visible

anymore.

Today was the 30th day of treatment. Madeline lay on the recliner and felt the cool liquid flowing across her face.

She felt that it was soothing. There was no longer the hot, dry, and itchy sensation on her face anymore.

“You can see the result half an hour after this cold compress.” Adam’s voice glided into her ears gently.

Madeline blinked nervously. Then, she saw Cathy coming in with some fruits and beverages from the corner of her

eyes. She wanted to greet her but knew that Cathy did not recognize her now.

Madeline lay down quietly, this half-hour feeling like an eternity to her.

When the alarm clock rang, Madeline opened her eyes abruptly. She saw Adam smiling softly at her from one side.

“Don’t be so nervous. Get up and wash your face before you look at your current face.”
