Chapter 276
Madeline came alone to the hospital where Meredith was staying in. There was a huge crowd gathering at the hospital. Everyone was looking at the highest floor of the building.When she saw this, Madeline looked up as well. She could see a white figure sitting at the railing. Judging from the person’s face, it was indeed Meredith.She immediately took the lift to the roof. She thought Jeremy would be there already, but there was no one else there. Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.However, he had looked worried just now. Was he not worried about Meredith?Why else did he run away so hurriedly?When she was contemplating about that, she heard Eloise bawling and screaming in devastation in front of her. “Mer, don’t do this. I’m begging you. Can you please come down?”Eloise’s voice was already hoarse from crying. It was evident how much she was worried about Meredith.Madeline clenched her fists unconsciously. She looked forward and saw that her birth father, Sean, was there as well.

After Madeline said that, the air around them froze instantly. The only sound that could be heard was the autumn wind howling on the roof. It was blowing past their faces again and again.Eloise’s expression changed as she looked at Madeline in disbelief. “W-What did you say? What did you just say?”Sean also strode toward Madeline at this moment. He was looking at her with a questioning gaze. “What nonsense are you spewing? My biological daughter is here. She’s well and alive! How can you curse her by saying that she’s been dead for three years?!”Madeline smiled sarcastically before letting go of Eloise’s hand. “I’m not cursing your precious daughter. I’m just repeating what was said,” she said calmly while pointing at Rose.“I heard her saying this with my own two ears. She said your daughter has been dead since three years ago.”“What?”Eloise and Sean looked at Rose in disbelief.“Nonsense!” Rose denied. Despite feeling frantic, she did not show it. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery

“If Madeline is a witch, then what about your precious daughter?” Madeline could not help but snort. “She worked with an outsider to kidnap her own son and pushed the blame to Madeline. Did you forget about that? In order to make Jeremy hate Madeline, she stole someone’s bracelet and framed her as the thief. Did you also forget about that? Mrs. Montgomery, just ask yourself, who’s the real witch here?”“You…” Eloise was speechless after she was talked back to like this.“I didn’t. I didn’t do those things…” Meredith quibbled while crying. She bit her lip aggrievedly, looking extremely pitiful right now. “Vera Quinn, why do you want to slander me? You’ve already successfully incited disharmony between me and Jeremy. Plus, you’ve even disfigured me. Will you only be happy after I’m dead? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’m going to jump now!”“No, Mer!”“Mer!”Eloise and Sean stopped her frantically. However, Madeline only scoffed in disdain.“Alright, hurry up. Stop dilly-dally
Chapter 279
“Mer! Meredith! My baby!” Eloise was crying out hysterically. Suddenly, her legs gave out and she collapsed into Sean’s arms. She had passed out.When Madeline saw this, her heart ached.Eloise was her biological mother, after all. Despite Eloise not liking her, she still hoped that Eloise and Sean would be fine.However, they were being fooled by Meredith.Madeline felt that this was hilarious. After gathering her thoughts, she saw Jeremy standing at the spot where Meredith had jumped just now.He looked below with a grim expression on his face. Two seconds later, he turned around and walked back.“She only fell on the balcony. I think she’ll be fine,” Jeremy answered calmly. However, Madeline could see him visibly letting out a sigh of relief.He was still so concerned about Meredith, after all. He was worried that she would be dead.However, Madeline had already expected this to happen.Meredith was well-prepared. She must have surveyed the layout and knew there would be a

In the next second, Jeremy got out of the car while surrounded by an icy aura.His face was ice-cold when he saw them grabbing Madeline’s hands. He lifted his eyebrow before pulling Madeline to his side and away from the officers.“Meredith’s fall was just an accident. It has nothing to do with her. Please investigate thoroughly before you make an arrest.”His tone was cold while his eyes were narrowed. After that, he grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and opened the door of the passenger seat. “Get in.”Compared to the police car, Madeline would much rather get into Jeremy’s car.In just a few seconds, Jeremy had driven her to a quiet and empty suburb.When she got out of the car, Madeline asked him frankly, “I caused the woman you love the most to fall from a building. Why are you still helping me?”Jeremy looked at her with a fake smile. “The woman I love the most? Do you know who the woman I love the most is?”“Not only do I know who it is, but I think the entire Glendale also kno

“Pfft.” Madeline burst out laughing. “The woman you love the most is your ex-wife Meredith? Mr. Whitman, this joke isn’t funny at all.”Madeline was laughing, but there was a dull ache in her heart.That bloody wound was still causing her to be in pain without showing any signs of relenting. When she recalled those scenes from the past, there was only blood and tears.However, what had he said back then? Did he say that he loved her?If the opposite of love was hate, then he had indeed ‘loved’ her. He even ‘loved’ her to death!When he looked at the sarcastic smile on Madeline’s face, Jeremy smiled superficially. “You’re right. It’s just a joke.”He was laughing at himself, but deep within, his heart was as painful as if it had just been cut by a knife.It was exactly like a joke. It was so pathetic that he almost did not believe himself.However, this was already an undeniable truth.“Well, the joke's over. I should go now,” Madeline said in a cold tone. Then, she pulled her

However, since Jackson was around, Eloise had to control her anger.“Vera.” Jackson lifted his head to greet Vera. There was a rare smile on his clean and smooth face.Madeline smiled in return. “Jack, how are you?”When Eloise saw this, her face fell. “Jack, what did you call her? Do you know her? How would you know this evil woman?”“Vera isn’t a bad person.” Jackson knitted his eyebrows together. The smile on his face disappeared gradually as he became down and dispirited again.“She’s a bad person! She’s the one who caused your mother to be hospitalized!” Eloise’s tone became awful. She glared at Madeline while gritting her teeth. “Vera Quinn, stay away from my family. I’ll get back at you for what you’ve done to Mer!”“Pretty Grandma, why are you screaming at my mommy?” Lillian said in a voice as soft as cotton.Eloise finally spotted the little girl who looked about two to three years old next to Madeline.She wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but when she saw Lillian’s

Daniel had found out where Madeline was staying. When he got there to see how she was doing, he did not expect to see this scene in front of him.“Maddie!”His heart started racing. He ignored everything and slammed on the accelerator to follow the car that had brought Madeline away.However, the car was driving too fast and was even running red lights without a care. Daniel did not want to lose the car, so he ignored the red lights as well. However, at this moment, there were two students in uniform crossing the road. Daniel slammed the brakes immediately.He managed to prevent an accident from happening, but he also lost the car.He thought about what Madeline would have to face later and immediately called the police. Then, he pulled some strings and got the camera footage.He had lost her once before three years ago. This time, he would not allow anything to happen to her again.‘Maddie, you’ll be okay.‘I’ll definitely get you back safely this time.’…Hospital.There w
