Chapter 223

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Jeremy took out a dark blue velvet box from his pants pocket.

He held the box to face Madeline and opened it. Inside the velvet jewelry box was a sparkling diamond ring.

Meredith looked at the ring box that Jeremy was holding in shock. She hurried over. “Jeremy, what… What are you doing?” she asked nervously, trying to maintain a smile. “Jeremy, you asked my parents to come over today. Is it because you want to propose to me? This diamond ring is also for me, yes?”

Meredith looked expectantly at Jeremy’s impassive side profile.

However, Jeremy did not spare a glance at Meredith even from the corner of his peripheral vision. Instead, he took out the ring and reached out to Madeline’s left hand that was being held by Felipe.

Madeline quickly withdrew her hand. “Mr. Whitman, what are you doing?”

Felipe also protected Madeline by his side. “Jeremy, although Vera and Madeline are very similar, but as I’ve told you, they’re two different people.”

“Why are you so nervous about her?” Jeremy suddenly let out a chuckle. His smile was really intriguing, and no one could see through it. “This is just a welcome gift for my future aunt-in-law.”

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, but a diamond ring is best not to be gifted casually, or your fiancée will be jealous.” Madeline declined with a smile, glancing at Meredith whose smile had been distorted.
