Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] 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.
“Aunty Karen, Aunty Karen!” Yvonne pretended to hold her back, while in truth she wished for nothing more than to
see Madeline get in trouble.
“Madeline Crawford!”
Madeline turned around at Karen’s infuriated yell and was met with a fierce-looking Karen strutting up to her.
Karen raised a palm and aimed it at Madeline’s cheek.
While Karen’s actions were sudden, Madeline’s reflexes were fast as well.
She grabbed Karen’s hand and stared coldly at her. “Again?”
Karen’s eyes widened angrily. “After what you’ve done, what’s a slap to you?”
Madeline smiled. “What did I do this time?”
“You hit Aunty Karen’s head!” Yvonne accused Madeline of her crimes. “And you stole Aunty Karen’s accessories!”
Karen pulled her hand out of Madeline’s grasp and took the cane lying on the sofa. “You think I’m afraid of you,
Madeline? I’m telling you, even if Jeremy wants to protect you, I’ll hit him too!”
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

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.”
