Chapter 205
Tanner Long! This tramp! How could he have gotten in? Confusion and unease settled in Meredith’s stomach. Tanner was pointing at Vera, claiming she was a ghost with eyes blown wide and fright written all over his face! That could only mean that he had mistaken Vera for Madeline and was sent into shock. Being sent into shock meant that he could end up saying things he should not! However, Madeline’s lips quirked at Tanner’s terrified scream. From the corner of her eyes, she watched anxiety flash across Meredith’s expression. Then, Madeline approached Tanner with a confused look. Locking eyes with Madeline, Tanner’s fright grew as he began to shout. “Ah! It-It’s really… It’s you!” Coupled with the influence of alcohol, he believed without a doubt that Madeline’s ghost had come to haunt him! For all the horrible things he had done in his life, it made sense to feel such a heavy weight of guilt. Madeline raised a brow and asked with mock confusion, “Do you know this man
Chapter 206
Tanner was positively terrified, the color draining from his face as his pupils dilated from the fear. “Go away, Madeline! Stop bothering me! I… I was just doing what I was paid to do!” “Tanner Long!” Meredith immediately interrupted him and nervously called for the bodyguards. “Quickly, take this man away!” Tanner pointed a trembling finger at Meredith, paying her words no heed. “Madeline Crawford! If… If you want to haunt someone for revenge, then haunt her! It was all Meredith’s orders!” With Tanner’s words, Meredith felt her body growing cold. Feeling a tyrannical storm of frost swirling around her, she could not imagine the expression Jeremy was wearing on his face. “What’s happening? Who is this man? What does he mean?” Mrs. Whitman quickly rushed over to ask. Meredith frantically tried to change the subject. “Mrs. Whitman! This is Tanner Long. He and Madeline used to be involved illicitly. They also planned Jack’s kidnapping together!” “So it’s you!” Eloise glare

Just like that, the truth back then finally came to light thanks to Tanner’s ramblings. Jeremy’s expression darkened instantly as unrestrained bloodthirst flared in his eyes. In his fury, he raised a fist that crashed hard against Tanner’s cheek. Tanner stumbled backward, losing his footing. His mind was muddled by the hit. Wine glasses and plates crashed all over the floor upon impact to the long table behind. However, Jeremy did not stop. Rather, he pulled Tanner up to deliver two more punches. Blood trickled from the corner of Tanner’s lips as his face turned distorted.However, no one dared to stop Jeremy. The man looked terrifying that very moment and too scary. Everyone felt that getting too close would leave them burnt by the flames of fury that engulfed him. Jeremy kept thinking that he had been wrong for the past three years. Especially on the topic of Madeline’s purity. He could not shove off the feeling of being blindfolded. Right now, he had finally ta

Meredith did not care about how Old Master Whitman thought. What mattered to her was how Jeremy did. Her glistened eyes turned to look at the frosty man. “You believe me, right, Jeremy?” Meredith’s tone was soft as she reached out to grab Jeremy’s hands, trying to get him to believe in her.Instead, all she got was a cold look filled with doubt that swept sharply over Meredith’s face from the corner of his eyes. Without giving her an answer, he walked away. “Jeremy, Jeremy…” Feeling hurt, her tears began to fall cooperatively as Meredith watched Jeremy’s retreating figure. Eloise began to comfort her sympathetically. “It’s alright, Meredith. Jeremy is smart. I’m sure he wouldn’t fall for such lies!” Meredith nodded and wiped off her tears. “I’ll go look for him.” “Meredith.” Eloise sighed sadly. Lifting her gaze, she glared at Madeline with displeasure. On the receiving end of Eloise’s disgusted gaze, Madeline found herself smiling and walking over without a care. “If

Jeremy's gaze looked exceptionally abstruse and complicated. He clasped Madeline's slender wrist tightly, tightening his hold on her inch by inch to not allow her to break free.He could not let go of her hand again. He could not...Madeline behaved coolly and calmly in the face of Jeremy's doubts.She curled the corners of her lips, seemingly revealing her annoyance. "If I remember correctly, Mr. Whitman, you promised me that you’d no longer suspect me of being your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford."Hearing her answer, the anticipation in Jeremy's eyes seemed to have been extinguished instantly and his hand that was holding Madeline gradually relaxed.Madeline withdrew her hand and took a sip of champagne. "To be honest, it's really annoying to be treated as a dead person every time. If it wasn't for me being afraid of pain, I would have really considered giving myself a makeover."Jeremy suddenly raised his eyes. "Don't get plastic surgery.""Hmm?" Madeline raised her eyebrows ligh

...Meredith had originally wanted to take advantage of this good day that was the 50th anniversary celebration of the Whitman family and borrow the power of the media to help establish her identity as well as status. She did not expect that Tanner and Vera’s appearance would completely disrupt her plan!Not only that, but there were also various searches being made on the internet that were not good for her.Meredith could only ask Eloise for her help to remove the searches.Even though all these public opinions had been suppressed, she was still feeling uneasy when it came to Jeremy.Meredith never saw Jeremy again in the entire night that passed. His phone line was always busy when she called him that Meredith had even wondered if her number was blocked.Worried that Jeremy would believe whatever Tanner said, Meredith went to Jeremy's villa early in the morning to wait for him. She had also deliberately chosen not to disturb or enter the house. She kept herself waiting at th

Meredith nodded sincerely. "Jeremy, no matter what you ask, I’ll answer you truthfully.""Okay." Jeremy's deep, black eyes were fixed on Meredith. "Did you really see the b*stard Tanner and Madeline together?""Yes! I really saw them with my own eyes!" Meredith answered without thinking.Jeremy's black eyes gradually sank and there was a chill in those bottomless eyes.Sensing that the surrounding airflow had suddenly become abnormally heavy, Meredith panicked, but she still insisted. "Jeremy, what I’ve said is all true! Jeremy, you have to believe me...""Believe you..."Jeremy repeated these two words as a mocking tint surged in his eyes."She spoke to me the same way back then, wanting me to believe her.""What?" Meredith looked at the unsmiling Jeremy. "Jeremy..."He parted his thin lips slightly. "I've already given you the chance." After saying this, he turned around coldly.The underlying meaning of this was obviously that he did not believe her!Meredith did not care

"Jeremy! Jeremy, you have to believe me! You can't condemn me for that madman Tanner's nonsense! Have you forgotten the days when we were at the beach? You said that I was the most innocent and kindest girl you’ve ever met! You said that you’d always be with me and make me your bride, that you would protect me and trust me forever. Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy!"Meredith did not think that Jeremy would ignore her up until this point.Seeing the sports car zipping away, Meredith stamped her feet in anger."Madeline, you b*tch! Why couldn’t you just die in peace?!"She turned around angrily and entered the villa. Seeing Jackson who was carrying his school bag and heading out, Meredith stepped forward while sending the servant to go buy vegetables. This left only her and Jackson in the house.Jackson looked at Meredith, his beautiful black eyes filled with defensiveness and repulsion. His little hand was gripping the shoulder strap of his school bag.The more she looked at him, the more h
