“What?”“What did you say?”Eloise and Jeremy’s mother stood up immediately, their faces filled with shock.“Vera Quinn, repeat what you said!” Jeremy’s mother yelled.Madeline scanned Meredith’s face and saw that her eyes were widened while her jaw was hanging loosely from shock. Then, she lifted her head to look into Jeremy’s unreadable black eyes.“Jeremy, I’m carrying your child.”She smiled and handed him a report.“I went for some tests this morning at the hospital and this is the proof from the doctor.”Jeremy looked at Madeline and took the report.It was stated on the report that she was already three weeks pregnant.“Let me see!” Jeremy’s mother snatched the report from Jeremy’s hand and looked at it closely.Eloise came over to look at it as well. After they saw the result, their faces darkened instantly.When Meredith saw this, she stared at Madeline with envy and jealousy. After a few seconds, she bit her lip. Her eyes looked hurt and they were filled with deva
He lifted his head and saw that Madeline had already hailed a cab. Then, she got into the car and left.Jeremy was dispirited for a few seconds before he chased after her.He called Madeline, and though the call went through, she did not answer.Madeline looked at the darkened phone screen and smirked.She was making concessions in order to gain advantages.She did not mean it when she wished him that. She could not let the two people she hated the most live carefreely.Jeremy could not contact Madeline, so he became anxious.It did not matter what the reason was, but he knew he could not lose the woman who had the same face as Madeline.Even though he was obstinately clinging to the belief that this was the reason he could not let go of Madeline, he also realized the subtle change in his heartbeat whenever he was with Vera.The feeling was the same as when he met Madeline for the first time in university.Madeline went back to her apartment, and after a while, someone was ri
As he spoke, there was melancholy in his eyes all of a sudden.After staying quiet for a few seconds, Jeremy said, “I owe it to her.”“You owe it to her?”‘You owe it to her?‘Jeremy, you owed me as well, but you forgot about it.’Madeline laughed and did not ask anymore. She said slowly, “Alright, if that’s the case, I won’t make it more difficult for you. However, if you say you’re serious about marrying me, then you should prove it.”When he heard this, the melancholy on Jeremy’s face disappeared slightly. “What do you want me to do? I can do anything as long as it’s within my power.”Madeline smiled. “Easy. Go to a place with me tomorrow. I’ll tell you where we’re going when you pick me up tomorrow morning.”“Okay,” Jeremy answered without hesitating.For some reason, looking at the smile on that face in front of him, Jermey felt more cheerful than before.Jeremy went back to his house, and the moment he entered, he saw Meredith running toward him.“Jeremy, you’re finall
She would become his wife in three days anyway.When the time came, the entire Glendale and even people all around the world would witness the live broadcast of their grand wedding!When Meredith thought about this, a smile appeared on her face again.That night, Meredith did some self-care, and the next day, she headed to the bridal shop.This brand of wedding dresses was well-known all around the world. She told the staff about the dress Jeremy pre-ordered. It had just arrived by air yesterday and was worth around seven digits.Before she met Jeremy, Meredith could never imagine that she would be able to wear such an expensive wedding dress.Now, aside from her status as Miss Montgomery, she was also going to be the madam of an influential family who was second to none.She was ecstatic.Since she had revealed what she was going to do before this, when Meredith arrived at the bridal shop, there were a lot of journalists surrounding her who wanted to interview her.“Miss Mont
“Uh-huh,” Madeline smirked. She ran her fingers over the sparkling rhinestones on her dress. “Jeremy has such a good eye. He even knows all of my measurements.”“W-What did you say?”“What? Don’t you know the human language?” Meredith smiled and sashayed forward. The staff hurried over to help her with her dress.She looked like a queen when she gracefully walked forward until she was in front of Meredith. “Do you really think that this dress belongs to you?”“...” Meredith was so angry that her eyes almost fell out of their sockets. “Vera Quinn, take this dress off right now. This is a present from Jeremy to me. I’m going to wear this on the day of my wedding. Who are you to wear my wedding dress?”She glared at Madeline overbearingly. Then, she scoffed all of a sudden.“Vera, why are you doing this? I know you like Jeremy, but he’s my fiancé. Plus, we’ll be married in two days, then we’ll be husband and wife. What you’re doing right now is exactly what a mistress would do, do y
Madeline smiled sweetly when she saw Meredith’s pleased grin.“Miss Crawford, are you delusional? Jeremy’s here for me.”???Meredith’s expression froze, and there were a lot of question marks above her head.However, at this moment, she saw Vera reaching out to Jeremy with a smile on her face. The man she loved walked over to Vera as he held her hand.“Jeremy?” Meredith could not believe what she was seeing. She felt as if there was a rock on her chest that made her unable to breathe.Madeline smiled bashfully and reached out to tidy Jeremy’s collar.“Jeremy, you look so charming today. No wonder Miss Crawford here was willing to climb into your bed even though she’d become the mistress.”“You! Vera Quinn, what did you say?” Meredith’s pretentious expression cracked. “You’re the one who seduced my fiancé, you b*tch!”She lifted her hand angrily to slap Madeline.Madeline faked being scared and leaned against Jeremy, her frightened expression eliciting Jeremy’s anger and urge
Meredith yelled at the two figures in front of her.Madeline almost stopped walking at the same time as Jeremy.What did she just hear?‘Ashes?‘My ashes?’She was taken aback as her mind wandered.Back then, she had already lost her eyesight when she went to Jeremy and Meredith’s engagement party.In order to cut all ties with him and to let go of her obsession with him, she consented to giving everything back to him—including her ashes.Even though she did not die in the end, her ‘ashes’ was still there.However, did Jeremy not destroy those ‘ashes’ way back then?She stopped reminiscing when she felt Jeremy’s grip tightening.It seemed like he was holding back something.Meredith ran in front of Jeremy quickly with melancholy in her eyes.“Jeremy, please don’t force me, okay? The things I’m doing now are all for you.”Meredith was making herself look worthy of the greatest admiration.Madeline lifted her head to look at Jeremy. There was a murderous cold glint in his
“Regret? Hmph, the only person who’s going to regret is you! Vera, I warned you before. You’re not my competition at all. So what if you’re carrying Jeremy’s child? He won’t care! I have a trump card in my hand, so how will you compete with me? Hahaha…”Meredith’s savage cackle lingered in Madeline’s ear.Madeline hung up the phone without saying anything. She looked at the name of the bride on the invitation card as she narrowed her charming eyes.She would be there on time tomorrow.Three days went by quickly, but these three days were extremely tormenting to Meredith.The internet was filled with headlines about her and Jeremy. After all, she was the one who exposed the time and location of her wedding to the media with a fake identity. She was hoping she could blow up news of this as much as possible.The reason was that she had been waiting for this day for too long.As long as she got married to Jeremy and became Mrs. Whitman, she believed that with her tactics, Jeremy wou
