Eloise started crying when she heard that. “It’s all my fault. My body was in a horrible condition after I gave birth to Mer. You were busy taking care of me and that’s why we neglected Mer…”Sean grabbed Eloise’s shoulders in devastation and said, “Don’t cry, Ellie. Don’t worry, Mer is our only daughter. I’ll make sure she gets home safe and sound.”Jon and Rose hurried to the police station to visit Meredith after knowing that something had happened to her.When Rose saw Meredith in a prisoner’s outfit while looking unkempt in the conjugal room, she was utterly stunned.It was as if she saw that her money tree was about to fall.“Mer, Mer, how are you? What happened?”Meredith looked at Jon and Rose impatiently. She said with a clear train of thought, “There’s no use saying anything now. Eloise and Sean are the only ones who can save me now.”Jon and Rose looked at each other. “Mer, did that b*tch Vera do this?”When Meredith heard Vera’s name, she clenched her fists and slam
Meredith scoffed in disdain. “What bullsh*t is that? When did I do all those things to you? You’re the one who’s seducing Jeremy with this face of yours. You’re the one who did all of these things. So even if I want to harm you in the future, you have only yourself to blame.”“Myself to blame?”“You were the one who brought trouble upon yourself! You b*tch! You’re as cheap as that b*tch Madeline. Both of your deaths would not be regretted!”After Meredith’s shrieks, Madeline did not hesitate to slap Meredith across the face.Meredith was stunned for two seconds. When she was about to curse at Madeline, Madeline yanked her collar, and in that instant, she found that it was difficult to breathe.Meredith lifted her head and was met with Madeline’s sharp eyes. Then, there was a cold glint flashing in them. Meredith could not help but tremble.“I brought trouble upon myself? My death won’t be regretted? How can you say these inhumane words until this day?”Madeline’s words were as c
“Go and tell him then.” Madeline scoffed. “Do you think he’ll believe you or me?”“...” Meredith’s eyes became lifeless. She had nothing to say to that.She did not dare, or rather, she would never tell Jeremy the truth!If Jeremy knew that Vera was Madeline, not only would he not believe Madeline, but he would even be happy and surprised. He would use all of his power to pamper her, love her, and dote on her.Jeremy loved Madeline, especially after she ‘died’. His love for her had always been prejudiced and he had kept it in the deepest part of his heart.When she saw that Meredith was speechless, Madeline smiled. “Or perhaps you can tell your current parents. You can tell them that I’m Madeline. However, do you have the guts to do that?”“...” The corners of Meredith’s lips twitched. The aggressive glint in her eyes wanted so badly to crush Madeline into fine dust, but to be honest, she did not have the power to do so.Plus, she could not tell Eloise and Sean that Vera was, in
Madeline gave him a half-hearted smile. “Jeremy, are you here to visit Meredith? Are you still unable to let go of her?”Jeremy walked in front of her, his charming eyes looking into her exquisite ones. “The person I can’t let go of now is you.”“Really?” Madeline looked into Jeremy’s eyes as if she was surprised. “If that’s the case, I’m so happy.”“Of course, it’s true.” Jeremy reached out his hand. “As long as you’re willing, I’ll be responsible for you from now on.”Madeline looked at Jeremy’s outstretched hand. The joints of his fingers were evident. They were long and fair, looking pleasing to the eyes. She used to long for the warmth of his palm so much back then.When he saw Madeline staying quiet and looking at his hand, a hint of undetectable uneasiness appeared on his face. “Are you not willing?”Madeline looked at him and smiled. She placed her hand into Jeremy’s and said profoundly, “Why would I not? I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”‘Yes, so long.’Jere
After all, Meredith was the young lady of the Montgomery family and was well-known by everyone.When Madeline saw the photos of Eloise and Sean being harassed by the media online, she felt a dull ache in her heart.“Dad, Mom…” she muttered. Then, she thought about Jackson.“I’m just like you. I’ve never felt the love of a mother before as well…”Knock, knock, knock.Knockings came from the glass door of her office.Madeline lifted her head and saw the sales manager looking at her frantically.“Come in.” Madeline gestured. “What happened? Why are you so frantic?”The sales manager ran over hurriedly, her voice sounding urgent. “Miss Vera, there’s a man and a woman in the shop. They said they want to demand an explanation from you. T-They keep saying that you’re a homewrecker… If you don’t go out now, they’ll destroy the shop!”Madeline got up calmly. “Don’t panic, I’ll go take a look now.”She put on her suit jacket before walking downstairs while clicking her heels on the flo
After Rose and Jon were taken aback by Madeline’s sharp gaze, they scoffed. “Vera, what else do you have to say?” Do you think everyone here is an idiot and will be fooled by just a few words from you?”After Madeline heard that, she smiled. “Since everyone isn’t an idiot, do you think you can pin those crimes on me based on your one-sided statement?”Rose was stunned. Suddenly, she felt as if what she said had come back to bite her in the bottom.“Vera, you…” “Shut up!” Madeline interrupted coldly.Rose trembled. When she met Madeline’s frigid glare, she could not help but feel fearful.“You keep saying that you want to seek justice for your precious daughter Meredith, but just ask yourself, does Meredith even have the right to talk about justice?”“You…”“You keep saying that I framed and harmed Meredith, even causing her to get tarnished by a group of thugs. Do you have proof? You don’t, but I do!”“...” Rose’s face was flushed white. She then averted her gaze due to a g
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled. “I’m sorry for causing a bad shopping experience. As compensation, I’ll be giving a 20% discount on all jewelry in the shop.”The customers who were here were elated. Naturally, they would be fonder of Madeline.Madeline smiled and settled things with her customers. Then, she grabbed her bag to go to the parking lot.She drove all the way to the place that she was most familiar with.She waited for ten minutes before seeing Rose and Jon walking over while cursing under their breaths.Madeline smirked and sped toward Jon and Rose.When Jon and Rose heard the sound of the car, they lifted their heads. Then, they saw a white car speeding toward them.The car was going very fast and was getting closer and closer to them.Jon and Rose felt their souls leaving their bodies. They did not care about anything else and just wanted to get out of there.However, it was too late. The car was about half a meter away from them and would crash in
Jon and Rose started straight at Madeline when she lifted the cup to her lips and was about to taste the tea. They were waiting expectantly for Madeline to drink it.Madeline’s lips were about to touch the rim of the cup, but all of a sudden, she lifted her gaze and there was a sharp glint in her eyes.Jon and Rose were startled. When they were trying to figure out what Madeline was thinking about, she flung her right hand and the tea splashed onto both of their faces.Even though the water was not at its boiling point, it was at least 150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.Jon and Rose wailed in pain while their faces were burnt red.“You! Vera, what the hell are you doing?” Rose took a piece of tissue to wipe her face angrily. Her face at this moment was terrifyingly red and malevolent.“Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I don’t know that you’d put something in the tea?” Madeline asked in an icy tone. Then, she threw the cup at Jon and Rose’s feet.With a smash, the cup broke into
