When Meredith reached the place, she immediately saw Jeremy sitting next to the window. Even if she had only seen his back, Meredith would never mistaken him for anyone else.However, Meredith did not see another woman sitting in front of Jeremy. After thinking about it, she figured that the woman could have just gone to the washroom. Meredith did not bother greeting Jeremy and headed straight to the washroom instead.Looking around, she failed to find anyone who was wearing the same outfit as the woman in the picture she saw.Meredith cursed in her heart before tidying her appearance and putting on her best smile to go look for Jeremy. However, the moment she headed over, she noticed that Jeremy had disappeared as well.She hurried down the elevator but only managed to see Jeremy’s white-colored sports car speeding away in front of her, and in the passenger seat was a woman.Meredith gritted her teeth in anger, immediately calling Jeremy. The phone call went through, but no one a

Meredith felt like she was in trouble, so she once again put on a show of spraining her foot. She made Rose exaggerate the story of her injury to Jeremy, wanting to trick him into visiting her at the Montgomery household.The room was large and beautiful, elegantly decorated. Even the cloakroom was filled with various luxury goods.Meredith was obviously enjoying everything that should have belonged to Madeline. She had never felt a shred of remorse, and even Brittany’s death caused her to swell with pride at how decisively she handled it.Only an intelligent and capable woman like her deserved the life of the upper society.Madeline and Brittany were unworthy of being her opponents. As such, how could she possibly lose to Vera Quinn—a woman who had appeared out of nowhere?!While indulging in her own thoughts, Meredith heard the sound of Jeremy’s footsteps. She immediately lay in bed like a frail patient, putting on a pair of pitiful eyes. “Jeremy, you’ve come to see me.”Jere
Chapter 166
When Meredith heard the voice, her eyes lit up in fury. These three years, she had been quite unhappy with Jeremy’s cold treatment. Now, this woman came out of nowhere to attract Jeremy’s attention, causing her to snap in anger.However, due to the incident at KFC, Meredith was working hard to control her temper. She put on a smile as she said, “So you’re that Vera woman who has been getting very close to my fiancé lately…”She said those words as she turned around. However, before she could even finish her sentence, she gazed upon Madeline’s beautiful and smiling face that instantly made her freeze.Her eyes widened as she gaped at the face in front of her in disbelief.“How, how… Madeline?!” Meredith’s tongue was tied as she retreated. “How is this possible…”She denied it in her heart.‘How is that possible?!‘That blind b*tch had long since turned into ashes, so how could she appear in front of me like this now!‘That’s impossible!’Madeline smiled as she looked at the r

“Miss Crawford, you’re free to shut up if you don’t know how to speak properly. No one will think you’re mute if you don’t talk. Mr. Crawford and I have done nothing out of the ordinary. Even if you don’t trust me, surely you should trust your own fiancé?”“You…”“If my memory serves me right, even Miss Crawford was a mistress before this. Don’t you think the words that are coming out of your mouth are quite funny?”Meredith was speechless as her face soured. She saw that the gazes surrounding them were quickly changing, so she adopted a look as if she was wronged.“Miss Quinn, I don’t know where you heard those rumors from, but I’ve always been together with Jeremy. It’s my sister Madeline who fell in love with him and hatched a plot to sleep with him, forcing Jeremy to marry her. Now, Madeline is already dead, so I don’t enjoy bringing this up, but I won’t allow anyone to insult me like that!”“You won’t allow anyone to insult you, but it’s fine if you insult me to my face? Miss

Smack!Not only did Rose’s slap not hurt Madeline at all, but she was currently holding onto her wrist tightly.Madeline still vividly remembered all those slaps and beatings she had suffered before.The moment she regained her sight, she had sworn to herself that she would never let anyone bully her again!“You, let me go!” Rose shouted as she struggled in anger. However, Madeline was quite strong. Thanks to the strength her hatred had given her, she was no longer a weakling anyone could pick on!“Madam, please watch your tone! If you’re here as a customer, I’ll welcome you anytime. However, if you’re here to cause trouble, then get lost right now!” Madeline’s eyes were piercing as she put force into uttering every word, looking very imperious. Rose stared for a few seconds, seemingly shocked into silence by Madeline’s imposing manner.At that time, Jon started to get angry. He reached out to help Rose.However, Madeline did not give him a chance. She immediately pushed Ros
Chapter 169
She immediately brought Rose and Jon to the little villa they stayed in nowadays which was given to them as thanks for raising Meredith.Rose cursed and swore as she recounted the events in great details to Meredith.After understanding the matter, Meredith was deeply suspicious, but Jon shook his head.“That’s definitely not Madeline. Madeline was never that bold!” Rose was originally certain as well, but she was wavering since stepping out of the station. “Meredith, I think that woman just looks like her. She definitely isn’t Madeline. She’s been dead for three years and even her corpse would have rotted by now. Jeremy personally brought back her ashes, so how could she return to life?!”Even if that was the case, Meredith was still full of doubt. “Could there really be two people who look so much alike on earth?”“Maybe she somehow saw a picture of that woman and felt that she looked good, so she did plastic surgery to look like Madeline. No matter what, that Vera woman is de
Chapter 170
Hearing Jeremy call her that caused a wave of emotions to wash over Madeline.She did not think that Jeremy would have rushed to her side and hold her like that.Madeline looked up and saw the concerned look on Jeremy’s face. Was he worried about her?A brief moment of doubt could be seen in Madeline’s eyes as she felt Jeremy hug her tightly. She could even clearly feel the warmth from his chest.It was the warmth that she used to long for, but today, she no longer craved it.“Thank you, Mr. Whitman,” Madeline said calmly.Jeremy sobered up at that, relaxing his hug.Madeline tidied up her clothes as she shot a meaningful look at Jeremy. “If I’m not mistaken, did you call me Maddie just now? According to your fiancée, you deeply hate your ex-wife. Not only was she constantly clinging to you, she even trapped you and forced you to marry her. If that’s the case, shouldn’t you hate me as well? Why did you help me just now?”After that, there was an air of silence around them.I
Chapter 171
Meredith had just called her a moment ago, and her tone was quite aggressive. How did she sound even remotely like someone who might do something stupid?However, she saw that Jeremy’s face was solemn. He seemed to have believed it and was now concerned about Meredith’s safety.“If Mr. Whitman is busy, I can just get off right now.”Jeremy looked at Madeline, seemingly hesitating. It took him a while before he stopped the car. Madeline got down from the car quite briskly, waving to Jeremy after. “Mr. Whitman, see you another time.”After that, she turned around and left. Jeremy did not leave immediately and looked at her walking away with his rearview mirror as he replayed the scene earlier in his head.Why did he so frantically reach out for her? That answer was quite clear in his heart.It was only until Madeline heard the car moving did she stop to look back.She immediately hailed a taxi to tail after Jeremy’s car. She did not expect that the car would go all the way to
