There was a hint of misery in Jeremy’s slightly intoxicated face. “It’s her.”After staying silent for some time, Madeline got an answer from him.It was her.The person he loved the most was Meredith.Madeline’s grip on the wine glass tightened slowly.The fire of rage in her heart started burning brightly, but it was unable to destroy the unwillingness and bitterness in her heart.“Linnie, I’ll stay with you forever. I will protect you forever. I’ll take you as my bride…”The little boy’s promise was like the autumn breeze outside the window, caressing her ear before drifting away.Madeline held the wine glass and downed the contents inside it.She felt as if a million needles were piercing her heart. They were so light yet they hurt so bad.She was feeling sad for her past self. She was so innocent for believing his promise to marry her. She ended up waiting for him to reunite with her like a fool. However, in the end, all she got was this man’s merciless torture.Madelin

Most of them were socialites and wealthy women.Madeline had been ready for a while, but at this moment, she felt complicated.She knew Eloise would be here tonight as well.This person was her mother who gave birth to her and lost her.After she got the call from the manager of the headquarters, Madeline sashayed into the venue.When she walked in, she saw a lot of socialites and wealthy ladies gathering around while chatting. They were boasting about the expensive, limited, and custom-made jewelry that they were wearing.When Madeline walked in, she earned shocked gazes from the guests there.Her champagne-colored dress accentuated her perfect figure while her black hair contrasted the fairness of her flawless skin. She would leave a trail of sweet fragrance wherever she went. One would not be able to stop themselves from taking i

The woman’s ear-piercing shrieks penetrated everyone’s ears. The loudness of her voice attracted the attention of a lot of people around them.Madeline lifted her head to look at this overbearing face. Immediately, the scene of her being falsely accused and bearing the burden of being called a thief appeared in her head as clear as day.After she got news of her illness that day, she needed to go to Jeremy’s mother’s birthday party at Whitman Manor as per Jeremy’s order.However, the moment she walked in, this woman in front of her ran into her. This woman did not apologize but instead accused Madeline of running into her. She even accused Madeline of stealing her bracelet.In the end, Meredith helped Madeline out of ‘kindness’. However, during the commotion, she placed a bracelet into Madeline’s pocket. Madeline was weak back then, so she got framed as the person who stole the bracelet and was berated horribly after trying to prove her innocence.The most humiliating part was aft

At this moment, harsh words of criticism started sounding out from all around her. Meredith was grinning as she said something in Eloise’s ear.After a while, Meredith walked over. She looked at Madeline and sighed. “Miss Quinn, I didn’t expect you to be as careless as Madeline despite you two looking exactly the same!”Meredith mocked her with contempt in her eyes. “Mrs. Langford, you’re right. There was someone who stole your bracelet in front of everyone in Whitman Manor back then. However, it’s not this woman you’re holding onto right now. They just look the same.”“What? It’s not her? I remember her face so clearly!” the woman pointed at Madeline’s face and said definitively.“Mrs. Langford, it’s not her.” Jeremy’s mother walked over as well. She was looking down on Madeline too. “Vera, I didn’t expect that as the shop owner of Miss L.ady that you would go as far as to steal a client’s bracelet. Are you sick in the head?”“She’s not just light-fingered, but she even has the h

After the manager and head of design said that, the atmosphere in the hall became livelier.Mrs. Longford, who had been accusing Madeline, was completely stunned. On the other hand, Meredith was looking at Madeline in disbelief. All of them had their jaws on the floor.“W-What did you say?” Meredith frowned while pointing at Madeline. “Did you say that she, Vera Quinn, is the chief designer of Miss L.ady?”Meredith was feeling reluctant when she asked this question.However, she got an affirmative answer instantly.“That’s right. This is the founder of Miss L.ady and the chief designer of the brand, Vera Quinn.”“...”“...”Meredith was instantly shocked. Her mouth dropped open as she looked at Madeline who was calm and composed. She was utterly dumbstruck.Eloise and Jeremy’s mother looked at each other. They could not believe what they were seeing and hearing at this moment.This woman had so much up her sleeves!Moreover, the most popular jewelry in their circle for these

Felipe was wearing a fitting tailored suit, looking elegant and smart. At this moment, there was anger in his eyes. It was the opposite of his usual calm and graceful face with no emotions.“Apologize to my fiancée now, or else, it won’t be as easy as just a lawsuit.”“...” The woman did not know who Felipe was, but she was horrified by the coldness coming from his eyes.Madeline walked over to Felipe and grabbed his arm naturally and intimately. “It’s fine, Felipe. I don’t need a hypocritical apology. It’s enough that everyone knows that I’m innocent.”“How can I let that happen?” Felipe looked at Madeline gently. “I won’t let anyone bully or tarnish your name. I won’t allow it even if it’s one word.”His defensive words were filled with the overprotectiveness of a boyfriend.Madeline looked into Felipe’s eyes. Perhaps it was the lighting, but she saw deep love and overbearingness that she had seen before in his eyes.Her heart raced. Before she could say anything else, she saw

Everyone was curious after they heard this.Meredith trembled as the confidence and arrogance that was on her face previously froze instantly.‘Video?‘What video?‘What is Felipe talking about?‘Did someone capture the scene of me stealing the bracelet and blaming Madeline that night?‘How is that possible?‘If Felipe had that video, he would have uploaded it way earlier!’As Meredith contemplated, she no longer felt as nervous as before. She smiled calmly.“Felipe, don’t worry. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I didn’t do it, so I’m not afraid of any video you’re going to show!”“Mer, I believe you!” Eloise grabbed Meredith’s hand, her eyes filled with trust and love.“I hope you won’t say such blatant lies after you watch this video,” Felipe said to Meredith coldly.The corners of Meredith’s lips twitched as a bad feeling arose in her chest.After that, she saw Felipe gesturing to his assistant who was standing at one side. Then, the assistant clicked on

“Mom, you have to believe me. That video isn’t real!” Meredith looked at Jeremy’s mother after she said that. “Mrs. Whitman, you should know what kind of person Madeline is. Why would I want to harm her? She’s not someone who’s upright anyway!”“Mer, don’t cry. I believe you.” Eloise chose to believe Meredith without even hesitating. Then, she looked at Madeline and Felipe with hatred in her eyes. “Felipe, you’re falsely accusing my daughter in public to ruin her reputation. I won’t let you get away with this so easily!”“Your daughter?” Felipe snorted. “Just because she’s your daughter, you’re willing to turn a blind eye even if she has done something so heinous?”“You…”“You can see it in the video clearly. Everyone here would know if it’s fake. Meredith, you said this video was taken recently, so let me ask you this. Even if Vera was impersonating Madeline in the video, then who’s that woman who looks exactly like you? Plus, who’s impersonating those guests and Jeremy’s mother?”
