Chapter 30
‘Madeline, you disgust me.’His words of disgust felt like a million arrows to her heart. They had all been aimed at her already heavily damaged heart.He believed Meredith’s words so much that he would not even give her the chance to explain herself.The icy water rushed into her mouth and nose. She was beginning to drown. However, she suddenly did not want to struggle anymore.Wouldn’t it be nice if she just died like this?Nevertheless, just when Madeline closed her eyes in despair, Jeremy pulled her up and threw her to the floor.Madeline was like a broken rag doll. Soaking wet, she curled up on the floor lifelessly.The tumor in her body was extremely painful. It was so painful that even breathing made her suffer. Nonetheless, she lifted her head unbendingly.“I don’t know that man. Jeremy, why won’t you believe what I say…”“Why should I believe a sinister and cruel woman like you?”Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s collar angrily. The mole on her left breast was showing throug

The other party was a refined and charming upper-class woman.After interacting with her a few times, Madeline knew that she was Eloise Patton, also known as Mrs. Montgomery. She was of the top four rich and influential families of Glendale.For some reason, Madeline felt a close and dear connection with Eloise every time she talked to her.The Montgomerys had a lot of assets under their name, and Eloise was responsible for the jewelry. She was very satisfied with Madeline’s first draft.Due to some special reasons, Eloise invited Madeline to her home the day she was supposed to hand in her final draft.When she got there, she found out today was the 24th birthday of Eloise and Sean Montgomery’s precious daughter, Brittany Montgomery.Madeline then remembered today was her 24th birthday as well.Looking at Brittany who had been pampered like a princess since she was a child, Madeline could not help but feel envious.Ever since she was young, she did not know what was the love o

After she heard that, Madeline knew she was finished.She was not bothered if people humiliated or misunderstood her, but this business was too important to her.“Draft? Maddie, when did you become a designer?” Meredith was shocked. “Are you plagiarizing the designs on the internet and then claiming them to be yours like how you did when you were graduating? Maddie, why did you let yourself go so much?” Meredith looked at her in disappointment.When Eloise heard this, her face turned even darker. She glared at Madeline in anger and left with her daughter.Madeline felt a pang of pain in her heart after Eloise looked at her with such a disgusted expression.She wanted to chase after her to explain herself, but someone pulled her back.When Meredith saw that there was no one around them, she displayed a sinister smirk. “You see, you lowly peasant, don’t even think about competing with me for the position of Mrs. Whitman. Madeline, you’ll know what’s the consequences of fighting ove

Madeline grunted in pain instantly. Jon was using all of his might to torture her. It was as if he wanted so badly to crush her bones. Then, Madeline heard his pompous reasons.“Jeremy, don’t think that I’m going too hard on her. I’m her father and I can’t stand seeing my own daughter being bullied like this! After Mer gives birth to that child, you’ll know how it feels to be someone’s parents.”As he said that, he rubbed his foot on the back of Madeline’s hand.Madeline’s hand started to bleed again after getting stabbed by glass shards.She did not yell out in pain nor did she beg for mercy.Jeremy did not say anything. His handsome face was as cold as ice. To Madeline, he was tacitly agreeing to Jon’s actions.“Jeremy, my face hurts. I’m so scared that my face will never recover.” Meredith sobbed gently at this moment.Jeremy frowned and glanced at Madeline in disgust. “She deserves this.”Then, he held Meredith and said, “You dummy, I promise that your face will be as beaut

Madeline stood in the rainy winter night. Everything in front of her was pitch black.Ten million was an astronomical number to her.Despite being the madam of the number one rich family in Glendale, she never got any advantages from this identity of hers. On the contrary, she was battered and exhausted.Madeline did not dare to call the cops hastily because she was concerned about Len’s safety.She did not have a choice. She could only ask for Jeremy’s help.However, perhaps Jeremy had blocked her number as she could not get through to him no matter how many times she called.She thought about how her grandfather might be suffering now, so she went back to Crawford Manor.She lifted her right hand and remembered how Jon had stomped on it just now. It caused her to be unable to exert any force with her hand.Madeline knocked on the door with her left hand. The door was opened after a while, but before she could say anything, she was greeted by a bucket of cold water.“Scram! D

“Why did I save a cruel witch like you with my bone marrow? Jeremy fell in love with a woman like you because he’s blind!”Madeline slapped Meredith again and again across her face. Everyone in the house came out after they heard the commotion.When Rose saw that Meredith was being slapped, she ran over and grabbed Madeline’s hair. She even kicked her, but Madeline still held on to Meredith tightly.“Jeremy, it hurts! Jeremy, save me! Madeline’s going to beat me to death!”Madeline wailed and screamed. Finally, she alerted Jeremy.“Madeline, are you insane?” Jeremy dragged Madeline who was having an emotional breakdown away. Then, he gathered Meredith into his arms.“Boohoo… Jeremy, I’m in so much pain. My face hurts! Maddie is insane!” Meredith complained as she leaned in Jeremy’s arms.Madeline rushed over. “Meredith, stop pretending. I should be the one crying! Why did I have to meet a two-faced b*tch like you?”“Jeremy, listen to that! That b*tch is yelling and slapping Mer

When Jeremy asked that question, Madeline could already predict the answer.Indeed, the nurse on the other end of the phone denied it. “What? Lung cancer? Aside from his mental health, his body is very healthy. How would he get lung cancer? You must have made a mistake.”After she said that, Madeline felt her body temperature plummet.Before Jeremy hung up the phone, the nurse said, “You said he’s missing just now? He did disappear for some time before, but he said his niece told him to hide because she’s playing hide and seek with him.”When she heard this, Madeline understood everything.Grandpa was not sick and he was not kidnapped. Meredith was the one who plotted all of this!“Maddie, I understand now. You deliberately asked your grandpa to hide so that you can frame me for kidnapping him.” Meredith gained the initiative by striking first. She started crying tearfully. “Maddie, why’d you do that? I always saw you as my biological sister. How can you do this kind of thing to

Jon and Rose were shocked when they saw Madeline vomiting blood, but at the same time, they felt pleased.The duo shut the door and ignored Madeline. They did not care about her at all. It would be better if she died.Madeline curled up in between the shrubs with her body covered with dirt and rainwater. She clutched her painful stomach and watched as Jeremy carried Meredith into the car.He could see her from the rearview mirror, but he did not even want to look at her.On the other hand, Meredith was staring at her. She smiled victoriously without a trace when she saw Madeline as pale as a corpse with her mouth filled with blood.Madeline lowered her hand that was trying to ask for help hopelessly as she watched the car drive away.Her tears and the rainwater blurred her vision.He was so worried about Meredith’s child, but he did not care about the child in her stomach. He even wanted to kill the child in her stomach.Madeline chuckled lamentably. She was laughing at how sad
