Chapter 167
“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
Chapter 168
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

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

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

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
Chapter 172
Madeline got on a taxi at the side of the road before leaving immediately. As she looked at the signs on the road, the words ‘April Hill’ hurt her eyes.She suddenly felt that the cleanliness in her heart had been polluted.How filthy.When Jeremy finally caught up, he did not see Madeline at all and only saw a car moving along the roads of April Hill in the distance. His mood sank again, sinking into the sea next to April Hill.‘She’s gone.‘She left three years ago.’He reminded himself again, but he had never accepted that fact in the first place.“Jeremy, what’s wrong?” Meredith hurriedly ran after him, not understanding Jeremy’s actions or expression.Jeremy glanced at her, his voice sounding distant. “Get in the car.”Meredith hurriedly got into the car. Her show had concluded, and she planned on cashing in on it.“Jeremy, it’s my birthday the day after tomorrow. I’m actually quite content just being by your side, but Jack is growing up. He’s starting to understand a
Chapter 173
Her mother…No, she was Meredith’s mother.Madeline laughed at herself mockingly, her mind filled with the scenes of Eloise and Sean slapping her in the face for the sake of protecting Meredith.She even remembered that last kick from Sean which caused her to spit out blood.They never looked at her until the end.Madeline’s grip on the door was extremely tight, and at that moment, Eloise took out her phone to give Meredith a call.“Mer, you can come out now. I’ll bring you for a spa session later, then we can look for something to wear. It’s your birthday tomorrow, and Jeremy will propose to you as well. I want to make sure you’ll look the prettiest you can be. I’ll turn you into the most dazzling princess in the world. Dear, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”Princess? Precious daughter?Ah.Madeline wanted to laugh hearing all that. She no longer wanted to continue listening.She turned around, but she did not see that one of her employees was carrying coffee and snac
Chapter 174
Meredith had a shy look on as she waited for Jeremy’s response. Her mood was soaring. She never expected that just as everyone was shouting for Jeremy to propose, an unwelcome voice would be heard.Meredith’s smile froze on her face as she clenched her teeth in dissatisfaction. She said, “Why is she here?!”Jeremy immediately turned around when he heard the voice, and the face he had been dreaming of every night entered his sight. Following that, everyone else looked toward the direction where the voice had come from as well. A graceful and beautiful woman entered their sights, but once they took a clear look at her face, Eloise and Sean widened their eyes in shock!“This… Madeline?! How... How is that possible?” Eloise’s face was pale, obviously scared as she unconsciously took a step backward. If not for Sean supporting her, she might have fainted from shock.A dead person had appeared in front of them, so it was only natural that she was scared.Sean was also taken aback, b
