After Meredith said that, Eloise did not stop her.Meredith brought her luggage to Jeremy’s place. She did not have the keys, so the maid opened the door for her.The maid had heard about Meredith and Jeremy’s wedding. When she saw Meredith, she called out flatteringly, “Madam, you’re back.”Meredith was delighted when she heard that.Even though their wedding was ruined, she still got her status.Who in Glendale did not know that Meredith Crawford was Jeremy’s wife?Meredith sauntered upstairs. When she wanted to go into Jeremy’s room, she realized that it was locked.At this moment, noises were coming from downstairs. “Sir, you’re back. Madam has just come back as well.”“Madam?” Jeremy frowned while looking at the smiling woman next to him.The maid felt awkward when she looked at Madeline who was holding Jeremy’s arm.“You should go get the groceries.” Jeremy dispatched her to do something.“Alright, Sir,” the maid answered before leaving.The huge house plummeted into
Meredith widened her eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her while at a loss. She was beyond shocked when she saw the piercing and proud gaze staring back at her.“You… Vera, what do you mean? What does my past have to do with you?”“Does it not?” Madeline put her face closer to hers. “Look at my face. Without going against your conscience, can you say that what you’ve done in the past has nothing to do with me?”“...”Meredith’s heart was racing.The face in front of Meredith reminded her of Madeline, the woman she had forced to her death.Her eyes widened, and she was petrified.“Y-You… Madeline…”Madeline smirked when she saw Meredith’s horrified expression.“Why? Do you finally remember what you did? Do you remember how you shamelessly stuck your foot into Madeline and Jeremy’s marriage? Do you remember how you harmed Madeline with all your ruses and caused her to carry all those burdens even until the day she died?”Madeline’s spirited eyes were filled with icy r
Back then, she was the one playing this kind of role to get Jeremy’s trust and pity, but now…Meredith watched as Jeremy pulled Vera into his arms comfortingly. His tone was filled with an intense desire to protect her.“No one will be able to touch a single hair of yours as long as I’m here!”“Jeremy, she’s just pretending! That woman is just acting!” Meredith exclaimed angrily.“I’m happy to watch even if she’s just acting.”“...”Jeremy’s answer froze Meredith. At the same time, it stunned Madeline. However, it made Madeline smirk in secret.‘Meredith, you’re finally getting what you deserve.’“Jeremy, we’ve been together for so many years and you don’t even trust me! You’d even go as far as to trust this witch! I’m so heartbroken. Boo-hoo…”Meredith covered her face and sobbed. Suddenly, she ran upstairs and into the guestroom.Actually, what she was doing right now was running away from Jeremy’s accusations.If Jeremy asked her about the child he had with Madeline back
The moment Madeline came back to her senses, Jeremy led her out of the door.Madeline was curious when she looked at his profound gaze.Where was he taking her?Meredith stayed in the guest room for some time before she heard the sound of a car engine.She looked out from the balcony and saw Jeremy driving Madeline away.She grabbed her bag while mumbling curses. Then, she called a car to go back to the Crawford family home to discuss her next move.After getting more information from Meredith, Rose and Jon started screaming profanities at Vera. Then, there were looks of worry on their faces.“How dare that b*tch slap you?! She even barged into the house to steal Jeremy from you! She’s even more despicable than Madeline! Trust that I’ll rip her into pieces with my bare hands!” Rose glared and clenched her fists angrily. “Mer, is that woman carrying Jeremy’s child? If it’s true, then you should kill that b*stard child immediately!”“Of course, I know that!” Meredith already had
When she saw Jeremy back with Madeline, the smile on her face froze. She displayed a sad expression on her face.“Jeremy…”“Vera and I have already eaten. You should eat on your own,” said Jeremy coldly. He looked at Madeline, then said, “Let’s go back to our room.”“Jeremy!” Meredith chased after them and stopped him. “Jeremy, I know you have a deep misunderstanding toward me. You might even suspect that I’ve done a lot of things to hurt Maddie back then. However, I have a clear conscience.”“Miss Crawford, your conscience was eaten by a dog a long time ago, so how can you have a clear conscience?” Madeline asked slowly.Meredith frowned as a fire of rage burned in her heart. However, she had to endure this for the sake of carrying out her plan.“Jeremy, there’s a parent-child hike in Jack’s kindergarten this Saturday. It requires the parents to take part with the children. No matter what misunderstanding you have with me now, at the end of the day, Jack is still our child. I ho
When Madeline heard Jeremy’s introduction, she was taken aback. She lifted her gaze and saw Jeremy holding Lillian. His angry eyes were staring straight at the man who was charging over.“Daddy! It’s him! He bullied me!” That brat ran behind the man hurriedly. Then, he pointed at Jeremy and started complaining about him.The man rubbed his hands together as if he was about to start fighting Jeremy. However, when he saw Jeremy’s face, he wilted instantly. “M-Mr. Whitman! It’s you!”Jeremy was indifferent toward the man in front of him. Plus, he also had no memory of him. However, the man started introducing himself with a flattering smile. “Mr. Whitman, I-I’m an employee of the engineering department on the 16th floor in your company. You must have no idea who I am, but I’ve seen you before. I didn’t think that we’ll be brought together by fate!“Oh, is this little girl your daughter? No wonder she’s so pretty. She inherited all of your excellent genes. Just look at her nose and mou
His answer surprised Madeline. However, his serious expression told Madeline that he was not joking.“I’ll do anything for you as long as you’re happy.”“Jeremy, Jeremy!”After Jeremy said that, Meredith barged into their vision while looking all frenetic and anxious.Madeline looked behind her subconsciously. However, she did not see Jackson.“Jeremy, Jack’s missing again!”Meredith ran in front of Jeremy with her eyes red.“It’s all my fault. I didn’t watch Jack properly. Jeremy, you should scream at me. It’s all because of my negligence. I was so focused on watching you that I neglected Jack. Boo-hoo…”Madeline despised Meredith’s pretentious acts. “Miss Crawford, there’s no use in crying. If you’re really concerned about this child, you won’t keep losing him from under your eyes.”“Vera, he’s not your child, so that’s why you’re able to say such things. Jack is my and Jeremy’s child. You’ll never be able to understand this feeling!”“Enough.” Jeremy frowned and interrupte
Jeremy heard some noises coming from the forest. Then, he saw Meredith’s figure as it flashed past.He looked around but did not see Madeline anywhere. Suddenly, his heart started beating erratically.He tried to call Madeline’s number, but there was no signal on his phone.Looking at the misty forest in front of him, Jeremy started feeling more and more uneasy.Meredith wanted to kill Jackson, then shift the blame to Vera. However, she changed her mind at the last minute and decided to kill both of them.She might as well, right?Meredith smirked when she recalled her plan.She knew Jeremy would look for Madeline after he got here.Jeremy indeed went looking for Vera first. Then, using this opportunity, Meredith fed Jackson some water that was mixed with crushed sleeping pills. After that, she asked a man who was pretending to be a parent to suffocate Jackson before abandoning his body.No one would know about her evil plan.This was the outdoors where there were no cameras.
