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

“Have you already told Jeremy that the b*tch is Madeline?”“N-No! Plus, it seems like that b*tch doesn’t want Jeremy to know that she’s Madeline.” Rose denied it when she realized that she could not let Jeremy know about this.After Meredith heard that, she let out a sigh of relief.“There will be a hearing in two days. Eloise has already hired the best lawyer for me. I should be able to get out of here soon.”Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”“Of course.” Meredith snorted. “It seems that Madeline doesn’t plan to tell the Montgomeries about her real identity.”Jon and Rose looked at each other in confusion. “Mer, doesn’t that b*tch already know that she’s Eloise’s daughter? Since she has already exposed herself to us, then why won’t she acknowledge that Eloise and Sean are her parents?”“If you’re in her shoes, would you still want to go back to your parents after you’ve been attacked, yelled at, and ignored by them?” Meredith rolled her eyes.“I think she resents Sean and Eloise.”

Eloise walked in front of Madeline slowly, her smile looking amiable. “I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to have dinner at my place tonight?”Madeline frowned. “Am I hearing things? Are you inviting me for a meal at your place, Mrs. Montgomery?”‘Does she know something?’‘Is that why she’s inviting me to her home in such a friendly manner?’However, Madeline immediately saw a hint of reluctance in Eloise’s eyes.Madeline understood now. Eloise was only doing this for Meredith.Heh.How pathetic.‘My birth mother is willing to give a half-hearted invitation to a woman she despises for the sake of a heartless she-devil.“Miss Vera, I hope you can forgive me for what I've done in the past. I’m sincerely inviting you to be a guest in my home.” Eloise had a smile on her face while waiting for Madeline’s reply.Madeline felt that it was too ironic. She wanted to reject her.However, she could not do it.The person in front of her was her mother who brought her i

“Okay.”Madeline smiled softly. After she watched Jeremy’s car leaving, she turned around and walked in.This was not the first time she came to Montgomery Manor, but it felt different this time.The previous time, she came here all dressed up to outshine Meredith. However, she was dressed casually today.She strode into the house, and some of the maids were astonished when they saw her.Even though she was dressed casually and did not have any makeup on, she still looked elegant and poised.They knew she was Miss L.ady’s designer, Vera Quinn. She was also the woman who was recently entangled with Miss Montgomery.They did not expect Vera to be the important guest Eloise told them about. The maids were curious.She was Miss Montgomery’s rival, so why was she the important guest?After Madeline walked in, she saw Eloise and Sean.They were dressed casually as well. However, their clothes and jewelry were all expensive branded goods.Eloise smiled and greeted her, saying, “Ple

When Sean and Eloise heard Madeline’s answer, for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat. The two of them asked at the same time, “You’ve found your parents?”Madeline nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I’ve found my birth parents.”When Eloise got such an affirmative answer, she smiled.At this moment, her smile came from the bottom of her heart.“That’s good. It’s good that you found them. You’ll be able to reunite with your family if that’s the case.”“Reunite with them?” Madeline rolled those words off her mouth and scoffed ironically. “I won’t even have the chance to reunite with them.”Eloise frowned. “Why?”“They can’t recognize me even when I’m standing right in front of them. They don’t want to acknowledge me either.”Madeline looked straight at Eloise and Sean. The two of them were visibly taken aback.Madeline smiled and broke the eerie atmosphere. “Maybe I’m just unfortunate. My parents lost me when I was small, then I was abandoned by my boyfriend after I grew up. Thankf

“Mrs. Montgomery, don’t fall asleep. We’re almost at the hospital.” Madeline grabbed Eloise’s shoulder, and when she saw Eloise almost losing consciousness, she kept trying to talk to her.Her heart was speeding as she was extremely anxious. The corners of her eyes were also wet with tears.“Mer…”Suddenly, Madeline heard Eloise calling Meredith’s name.Her heart was already aching. Now, it was one disaster on top of another.At this moment, Eloise started pleading weakly.“You’re also a mother, Miss Vera. I hope you can empathize with me as a mother. The hearing is tomorrow and I’m begging you to please let Mer off the hook. What she did was wrong, but as her parents, we’ve committed an even bigger crime. We didn’t educate her since she was small. Miss Vera, I’m begging you, please?”Madeline pressed her lips together as she sobbed, her eyes wet with tears.“Mrs. Montgomery, she’s not worthy of this.”“She is. She’s my only daughter.”Madeline bit her lip after she heard tha
