Chapter 16
Jeremy finished watching the video, and there was a blank expression on his face. “Where did you get this?” he asked with a cold voice.Madeline felt that it was preposterous. “Is where I got it from important? Isn’t the truth that you’re looking at more important?”“The truth?” Jeremy lifted his head and deleted the video with a swipe of his finger. He even deleted the backup copy of it that was in Madeline’s album.Madeline was beyond shocked by his actions. She ran over hysterically to take back her phone. However, it was too late. He had emptied the deleted album folder.“Jeremy, why? Why did you do that? Are you unaware of how many people are criticizing me online now? That was the only video that could have proven my innocence!”Madeline broke down.However, Jeremy scoffed indifferently. “What does your innocence have to do with me? Anything will suffice as long as Meredith is happy.”Jeremy’s question made Madeline speechless.Her innocence and life had nothing to do wit

The man’s cold accusations rained down on Madeline, and she felt extremely ironic.“Weren’t you already aware about it, Mr. Whitman?”Madeline’s answer enraged Jeremy even more. He lifted her chin angrily as he glared at her with his bottomless, black eyes that were filled with anger.“So, you went to look for your old flame, hmm?”‘Old flame? He must be referring to Daniel.’Daniel had once been Jeremy’s classmate. They were two years older than her and had been her seniors.When Daniel confessed to Madeline during their graduation ceremony, everyone in school thought that they began dating afterward.Madeline did not know that Jeremy had believed those rumors as well.“Madeline, I’m telling you, even if I were to kick you out one day, don’t think that you can run away to other men. I want to see who dares pick up trash I’ve used before!”Trash.He was describing her with such words.Madeline’s heart was hurting. She pushed away the man with force that she did not know she

Madeline had thought her comeback was brilliant, however, upon hearing Meredith’s words, she felt utterly defeated.Jeremy was there with Meredith for the latter’s maternal check-up.It was supposed to be something that a husband and wife did; Jeremy had given another woman his priority.Meredith walked in front of Meredith proudly. “Maddie, what’s wrong? Are you upset? Heartbroken?”Madeline clenched her fists, but she refused to allow herself to lose her composure. “No, I just feel that you’re shameless.”After she said that, she let her undisturbed gaze fall on Meredith’s twisted face.“Meredith, I don’t think I’d be able to find another woman who’s as shameless and proud as you; someone who thinks so highly of herself despite only being a mistress.”“You…”“One day, Jeremy will know that the child in your stomach is not his.”Meredith’s hypocritical mask was being ripped off her face. However, she suddenly broke into a smile as she said, “Jeremy loves me so much that even

After a while, Jeremy arrived. However, it was not because Madeline wanted to see him. Instead, he had come to criticize her violently.The light in the meeting room was dim. Nonetheless, it was enough for Madeline to see the malice and sinisterness on the man’s face.Madeline was firm. “I didn’t push Meredith. She fell by herself on purpose. Jeremy, please believe me!”Upon hearing her words, Jeremy stretched out his hand. His cold hand grabbed the back of her neck tightly, and he pushed her toward him.His bottomless, black eyes were like cold daggers as he shot out a glare and said, “Not only is there evidence, but there are eyewitnesses. Yet, you still have the cheek to say it wasn’t your doing?”“I did not! Meredith framed me! I didn’t push her! I didn’t!” Madeline was having an emotional breakdown. She kept on emphasizing the truth in hopes that the man would believe her.However, Jeremy’s eyes only became more and more terrifying. His hand on the back of her neck tightened

When Madeline remembered her battered self, she did not know what to do.Every woman would want to present their best selves to the man they loved. However, whenever she was with him, she would be in her worst and most torn-up state. At this moment, she was even covered in the scars he had given her.“Who allowed you to come in?” Jeremy stopped outside the door.Madeline looked at him. “This is my home.”“Your home?” The man chuckled lowly. “Do you think you have the right to call this your home?”The light in Madeline’s eyes faded. Jeremy’s words stabbed her heart like glass shards.“If Mer weren’t so kind, you would still be rotting in prison.” Jeremy’s words were laced with love for Meredith.Madeline scoffed. “Yeah, if it weren’t not for , I wouldn’t have ended up in such a place.”It was obvious that Jeremy was enraged by what she had said. “You’re still trying to talk back at a time like this?”“Jeremy, I did not! I’m telling the truth!” Madeline clenched her fists and e

Jeremy was fearful. He felt like there was a hidden thorn in his heart stabbing him mercilessly. He picked up Madeline without any hesitation.When Meredith saw this from one side, she stepped forward to stop him. “Jeremy, where are you taking Maddie?”However, Jeremy ignored her and sped to the hospital while holding Madeline.Throughout the way, his brain was occupied with the moment he first met the girl when he was young. That moment was delicate yet quiet and contented. It kept on replaying in his brain.Jeremy’s heart was beating frantically. He somehow forgot that he was supposed to be in disdain of Madeline and carried her to the ER frantically.She had said she was pregnant and it was his. However, his body was now stained with her blood.Jeremy felt as if he was being suffocated by something invisible. This was the first time he hoped that Madeline would be okay.He paced back and forth as he waited outside. He felt extremely anxious.At this moment, a nurse walked ou

Upon hearing this, Jeremy’s expression changed.He walked nearer and saw that Meredith had her back against him. She was talking to Madeline’s doctor.“Why is this happening? I never expected Maddie to do something like that…” Not long after, Meredith was heard sighing.Jeremy had not gotten the full story. However, when he was about to go forward and question them, the doctor frowned and said awkwardly, “Sigh! It’s against my medical ethics to lie, but your sister is really something else. She isn’t pregnant, but she insisted on pretending to be pregnant. She even used fake blood to pretend that the baby had been affected. When we found out, she threatened to kill herself and forced us to lie with her. We’re speechless!”Jeremy’s face was immediately covered with a layer of ice after he heard this.She was pretending?Madeline was pretending to be pregnant? Her blood was also fake?“I can understand why Maddie would have done that, but I never would’ve imagined she’d threaten t

“Heh.”Jeremy scoffed lightly. He looked down at Madeline coldly with his dark eyes.“Madeline, I underestimated you. You even managed to bribe the doctors here to make them lie to me about your pregnancy. Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’d be fooled so easily?”Madeline lifted her head and sobbed sadly. “No! I haven’t lied to you, Jeremy! Why would I lie to you about something like that? I really am pregnant! Jeremy, you don’t believe me? Touch my stomach. The child really is here…”Madeline stood up with all her might and grabbed Jeremy’s hand. She wanted him to believe her. She wanted him to feel the life that was already forming in her stomach.However, Jeremy pushed away her hand.“Get lost! Don’t touch me with your filthy hand!” Jeremy’s eyes were as sharp as knives. “You’re not pregnant. However, even if you really are, I’ll abort it because you do not deserve it! Madeline, a woman like you will never have the chance to have anything to do with me!”“Jeremy!” When
