“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
Madeline lowered her head to look at the horrified faces. Then, she narrowed her eyes, the flames of hatred in them piercing through them relentlessly.“I treated you like my own parents. I willingly gave my Hematopoietic stem cells to Meredith to save her life, but what about you two? I never had any excessive expectations and thought you would thank me for what I did to Meredith, but I never expected you to bite the hand that fed you either!”“...”“...”“I’ve never framed anyone. I’ve also never done anything that would harm you, but all of you worked together to harm and torture me again and again!“I was in so much pain and you still kicked me in the chest. You turned a blind eye when I fell on the floor vomiting blood. You just left me there hanging on to dear life in the rain!”Meredith listed out all of their crimes, her eyes looking malicious.“You people don’t have the most basic humanity! You’re not human at all!”After she said that, Jon and Rose’s brains finally re
“Jeremy, I’m telling the truth. That b*tch is Madeline!” Rose pointed at Madeline and shrieked through gritted teeth.Jon chimed in, “Jeremy, my wife is telling the truth. Vera Quinn is that b*tch you despise the most, Madeline Crawford!”“Shut up!” Jeremy’s tone was frigid, and there was a thick layer of frost in his eyes. “How dare you attack Vera to vent on Meredith? I will make you pay dearly for this.”After he said those bone-chilling words, Jon and Rose’s pupils constricted. It felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured from above their heads. In an instant, their body temperatures dropped.“Vera, let me take you home.” Jeremy’s voice changed. Even his eyes were gentle and warm like they had been caressed by a gentle spring breeze.Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest in shock, her eyes looking lovely. “Jeremy, it’s so good to be able to see you now. I was so scared that I’d be murdered by them.”“You… Madeline, you b*tch! Stop acting!” Rose roared angrily and emphasiz
