Chapter 375
“Jeremy, I’m telling the truth. That b*tch is Madeline!” Rose pointed at Madeline and shrieked through gritted teeth.Jon chimed in, “Jeremy, my wife is telling the truth. Vera Quinn is that b*tch you despise the most, Madeline Crawford!”“Shut up!” Jeremy’s tone was frigid, and there was a thick layer of frost in his eyes. “How dare you attack Vera to vent on Meredith? I will make you pay dearly for this.”After he said those bone-chilling words, Jon and Rose’s pupils constricted. It felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured from above their heads. In an instant, their body temperatures dropped.“Vera, let me take you home.” Jeremy’s voice changed. Even his eyes were gentle and warm like they had been caressed by a gentle spring breeze.Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest in shock, her eyes looking lovely. “Jeremy, it’s so good to be able to see you now. I was so scared that I’d be murdered by them.”“You… Madeline, you b*tch! Stop acting!” Rose roared angrily and emphasiz

“Have you already told Jeremy that the b*tch is Madeline?”“N-No! Plus, it seems like that b*tch doesn’t want Jeremy to know that she’s Madeline.” Rose denied it when she realized that she could not let Jeremy know about this.After Meredith heard that, she let out a sigh of relief.“There will be a hearing in two days. Eloise has already hired the best lawyer for me. I should be able to get out of here soon.”Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”“Of course.” Meredith snorted. “It seems that Madeline doesn’t plan to tell the Montgomeries about her real identity.”Jon and Rose looked at each other in confusion. “Mer, doesn’t that b*tch already know that she’s Eloise’s daughter? Since she has already exposed herself to us, then why won’t she acknowledge that Eloise and Sean are her parents?”“If you’re in her shoes, would you still want to go back to your parents after you’ve been attacked, yelled at, and ignored by them?” Meredith rolled her eyes.“I think she resents Sean and Eloise.”

Eloise walked in front of Madeline slowly, her smile looking amiable. “I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to have dinner at my place tonight?”Madeline frowned. “Am I hearing things? Are you inviting me for a meal at your place, Mrs. Montgomery?”‘Does she know something?’‘Is that why she’s inviting me to her home in such a friendly manner?’However, Madeline immediately saw a hint of reluctance in Eloise’s eyes.Madeline understood now. Eloise was only doing this for Meredith.Heh.How pathetic.‘My birth mother is willing to give a half-hearted invitation to a woman she despises for the sake of a heartless she-devil.“Miss Vera, I hope you can forgive me for what I've done in the past. I’m sincerely inviting you to be a guest in my home.” Eloise had a smile on her face while waiting for Madeline’s reply.Madeline felt that it was too ironic. She wanted to reject her.However, she could not do it.The person in front of her was her mother who brought her i

“Okay.”Madeline smiled softly. After she watched Jeremy’s car leaving, she turned around and walked in.This was not the first time she came to Montgomery Manor, but it felt different this time.The previous time, she came here all dressed up to outshine Meredith. However, she was dressed casually today.She strode into the house, and some of the maids were astonished when they saw her.Even though she was dressed casually and did not have any makeup on, she still looked elegant and poised.They knew she was Miss L.ady’s designer, Vera Quinn. She was also the woman who was recently entangled with Miss Montgomery.They did not expect Vera to be the important guest Eloise told them about. The maids were curious.She was Miss Montgomery’s rival, so why was she the important guest?After Madeline walked in, she saw Eloise and Sean.They were dressed casually as well. However, their clothes and jewelry were all expensive branded goods.Eloise smiled and greeted her, saying, “Ple

When Sean and Eloise heard Madeline’s answer, for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat. The two of them asked at the same time, “You’ve found your parents?”Madeline nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I’ve found my birth parents.”When Eloise got such an affirmative answer, she smiled.At this moment, her smile came from the bottom of her heart.“That’s good. It’s good that you found them. You’ll be able to reunite with your family if that’s the case.”“Reunite with them?” Madeline rolled those words off her mouth and scoffed ironically. “I won’t even have the chance to reunite with them.”Eloise frowned. “Why?”“They can’t recognize me even when I’m standing right in front of them. They don’t want to acknowledge me either.”Madeline looked straight at Eloise and Sean. The two of them were visibly taken aback.Madeline smiled and broke the eerie atmosphere. “Maybe I’m just unfortunate. My parents lost me when I was small, then I was abandoned by my boyfriend after I grew up. Thankf

“Mrs. Montgomery, don’t fall asleep. We’re almost at the hospital.” Madeline grabbed Eloise’s shoulder, and when she saw Eloise almost losing consciousness, she kept trying to talk to her.Her heart was speeding as she was extremely anxious. The corners of her eyes were also wet with tears.“Mer…”Suddenly, Madeline heard Eloise calling Meredith’s name.Her heart was already aching. Now, it was one disaster on top of another.At this moment, Eloise started pleading weakly.“You’re also a mother, Miss Vera. I hope you can empathize with me as a mother. The hearing is tomorrow and I’m begging you to please let Mer off the hook. What she did was wrong, but as her parents, we’ve committed an even bigger crime. We didn’t educate her since she was small. Miss Vera, I’m begging you, please?”Madeline pressed her lips together as she sobbed, her eyes wet with tears.“Mrs. Montgomery, she’s not worthy of this.”“She is. She’s my only daughter.”Madeline bit her lip after she heard tha

After the nurse said that, the air around them felt incredibly stifling.Madeline smiled calmly and said, “I think you must be talking about Madeline.”“It’s her…”Sean’s shocked exclamations sounded in her ear.Madeline turned around and saw regret as well as an apologetic look on Sean’s handsome face.“I didn’t think that she was the one who gave blood to Ellie. I even…”He had thought Madeline was bullying Meredith back then. As such, he yelled at Madeline angrily.He had said to her, "It’s no wonder your biological parents didn’t want you. Such a vicious person like you shouldn't even be alive in this world!"Sean was stunned. He placed his hands over his eyes in remorse.Madeline donated so much blood for Eloise and Jackson in secret back then.However, she did not say anything. She only endured all of their evil words and reprimanding.At that moment, Sean felt like he had committed the worst sin possible.Now, even if he wanted to apologize, he did not have the chanc

Madeline got out of bed and cleaned herself up. When she was about to look for Jeremy, she heard noises from the balcony.She looked over and saw the man standing there alone. Jeremy’s tall and slender back looked frail.There was a cigarette between his long fingers. The tip of the cigarette lit up and dimmed simultaneously, looking desolate in the morning sun.Perhaps he heard footsteps, so he turned around and saw Madeline walking toward him. He narrowed his eyes into a grin. “Why don’t you sleep more?”“I’ll wake up if I get enough sleep.” Madeline smiled. When she saw Jeremy in yesterday’s clothes, she asked, “You didn’t sleep for the entire night?”He curled the corner of his lips. His eyes were as dark as night as they were glued on Madeline’s fair and gentle face.“It’s been difficult for me to fall asleep for the past three years.”A glint flashed across Madeline’s eyes when she heard that.Jeremy extinguished his cigarette and walked in front of her.The unique smell
