"I know all of you heard that I was kidnapped a while ago. Yes, I was kidnapped and humiliated by a few men. The mastermind of this incident is this Miss Vera Quinn. I didn't want to look into this initially, but she has now turned the tables and is slandering me like this. I really can’t bear it."Meredith bit her lip and pointed at Madeline quickly."Vera Quinn, I want to denounce you!"As her voice fell, the guests unanimously chose to stand on Meredith's side."Miss Crawford, we all support you.""Vera Quinn, you’re so damnable!""Miss Meredith, don't worry. All of us here support you in denouncing this woman!""Vera Quinn, with your character, don't think that we will ever patronize Miss L.ady again in the future. I believe it will not be long before Miss L.ady will go bankrupt!""Shut up all of you!"In the crowd, a cold voice struck out strongly and violently, interrupting the angry words that were being thrown at Madeline.Everyone could not help but be stunned. They
Madeline spoke unhurriedly as she took out her mobile phone and showed a phone number on the screen.Everyone looked over, and Meredith was stunned when she saw a string of numbers displayed on the screen.She did not understand it at first, but after watching for a few seconds, her face went green as her eyes flickered.Seeing her panicking and shirking, Madeline smiled comfortably.“Miss Crawford, why aren’t you speaking? Do you find this number familiar? Of course, you’re familiar with it, because this is your foster mother, Rose Tanner's, phone number."Madeline smiled and walked gracefully to Meredith. Her elegant and proud temperament had crushed Meredith in seconds."Miss Crawford, you’re indeed very smart. You were afraid that if the incident was exposed, you would draw fire to yourself, so you used your foster mother's mobile phone to contact the four hoodlums. Now, the phone still retains the call records from the time. Even if they’ve been cleared, one can just go to t
He had never gotten so angry in front of others before, but today, he did it for Vera. He was breaking his usually regal and noble visage."Jeremy, you heard what Rose said. Meredith is the victim. She’s innocent!" Eloise suddenly emphasized. She would rather believe Rose's explanation than Meredith’s despicableness."Aren’t you going to hurry up and let go of that woman? Where is Meredith’s place in this?"Of course, Jeremy would not let Madeline go. Instead, he hugged her even tighter and glanced at the woman in his arms softly."I will never let go of this woman in my life. As for your daughter, I’ve already canceled my engagement with her. Don't make me repeat it."As Jeremy spoke with such a leisurely tone, he hugged Madeline and turned directly into the house.Eloise watched this scene dumbly, gritting her teeth with anger.This scene was so offending, hateful, and embarrassing for Meredith!Jeremy had completely denied their marriage in front of so many people, even publ
Madeline pursed her lips and smiled, her intoxicating dimples blooming on the sides of her lips.“Don’t you want me to fall in love with you? The truth is, you still love Meredith, right?” She pulled on his necktie with a hint of grievance in her eyes. “If this is the case, I’ll leave now and never see you again.”Madeline pretended to be disappointed and let go of Jeremy’s necktie.As soon as his neckline was loosened, Jeremy felt the warmth flowing away from his heart.Seeing her turning around with disappointment in front of his eyes, he froze in a trance. It felt as if his heart was suddenly stabbed by an invisible needle.“Don’t go.”Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s wrist.Madeline, who had not taken more than a step, stopped abruptly. At the back where Jeremy could not see, she quietly raised a triumphant smile.It was just that she had not even enjoyed this victory for more than a few seconds before Jeremy suddenly used his force to bring her into his arms.Madeline crashed in
“Old Master Whitman, I know you have a deep misunderstanding toward me, but…”“There’s no need to explain anything to me. You know very well what you’ve done.”“…” Meredith was speechless.Just then, Rose knelt down in front of Old Master Whitman with a plop. “Old Master Whitman, I did it all on my own. Meredith didn’t know about it at all. When she knew, she deliberately ran over to stop me. That’s why Meredith got into the accident. It was me. I was the one who caused Meredith trouble.”She blamed herself whilst in tears.“Old Master Whitman, if you want someone to blame, blame me. It doesn’t matter even if you send me to the police station, but Meredith is a good girl. I really don’t want Jeremy to misunderstand her. She has already suffered so much. Jeremy shouldn’t break her heart this time.”“In fact, all of these mistakes are Vera Quinn’s fault!” Eloise pushed all the blame onto Madeline.However, as soon as her voice fell, two intimate figures appeared by the stairs. Mad
Following Madeline’s words, the smile on Meredith’s expression suddenly cracked. Her entire face became completely stiff.What?Did she hear wrongly? What was Vera talking about?She just wanted to pretend and play a loving, righteous role in front of Jeremy and Old Master Whitman. She did not want to bear the blame on Rose’s behalf!She was just pretending!Rose and Eloise were also dumbfounded. They did not expect Vera to be a ruthless character.Seeing Meredith’s surprised expression, Madeline smiled leisurely at Jeremy. “Jeremy, in that case, you can accompany me to the police station now.”Jeremy glanced at Meredith who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated look and nodded lightly. “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”Madeline smiled happily and stretched out her hand to hold Jeremy’s arm. Her arrogant, beautiful eyes swept across Meredith who was still kneeling by her feet.“Kidnapping for extortion, intention to harm others… If sentenced for these crimes, it should garne
Madeline let go of Jeremy’s hand upon hearing this. She smiled generously before saying, “I’ll wait for you here.”“Okay.” Jeremy nodded, then turned around and went out.Rose and Eloise also followed them out of the gate.Seeing Meredith walking away with Jeremy, Madeline curled her lips and smiled happily.‘Meredith, what I want to give back to you is much more than this.‘You’d better not fall so quickly.’“If Madeline had half of your boldness, that child wouldn’t have left just like that.”Old Master Whitman’s sigh sounded softly from behind.Madeline’s heart soured. She felt the warmth of being cared for and missed.She smiled and turned around to look at Old Master Whitman. “If Grandpa doesn’t mind, you can think of me as Madeline.”Old Master Whitman looked closely at the exquisitely beautiful face in front of him and shook his head regretfully.“No matter how similar you look, it’s just a similarity. At the end of the day, you’re not my granddaughter-in-law.”“Perh
Madeline’s heartbeat became erratic all of a sudden, but she calmly put on an expression of surprise and confusion. She looked up to meet Jeremy’s black eyes.“What? You’re saying your ex-wife isn’t dead?”She pinched her eyebrows together before laughing.“You’re not suspecting that I’m your ex-wife Madeline again, are you?”When her voice fell, Jeremy also laughed. A gust of autumn wind blew, faintly blowing at the mysterious color that was surging in his eyes. He looked at Madeline and said profoundly, “Some people are alive, and she’s dead. But some people are dead, and she’s still alive.”After listening to these words in silence, Madeline curled her lips.“Are you trying to tell me that your ex-wife lives in your heart?”Not only did she laugh, but her laughter was full of irony.“Everyone knows that Madeline is the woman you hate most.”“Everyone knows?” Jeremy chewed on these words as the irony in his faint smile became stronger than that of Madeline’s.Yes, everyone
