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 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

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

Madeline went back to the house. She wanted to leave after packing some clothes. However, when she saw the baby clothes on the sofa, she could not help but hold them in her hands while feeling reluctant.When she remembered that Jeremy was the one who bought these baby clothes for Meredith, she felt a pang of indescribable pain in her chest.She touched her three-month pregnant stomach. She could feel tears pricking the corner of her eyes.However, Madeline wiped away her tears quickly.She hated herself for failing to live up to expectations. That man was so cruel to her and yet she was still deeply worried and longing for this man who she could not get.Madeline took a set of baby clothes and went downstairs. However, she did not expect to run into Jeremy and Meredith at the door.When she saw Meredith walking over while holding Jeremy’s hand intimately, Madeline’s heart started hurting as if it was being stabbed by a million needles.“Maddie, where are you going?” Meredith as

Madeline was being held in the lockup. Two days later, she finally met Jeremy.It was the same meeting room as last time. However, she looked even more battered than before. On the other hand, the man looked even angrier than last time.He was like a demon from hell. The moment he came in, he grabbed Madeline’s collar as his icy gaze almost penetrated her like an ice sword.“Madeline, what did I warn you about? Is it so hard to live a quiet life? Do you have to look for death?”“Jeremy, I didn’t push her. Meredith was the one who purposely let go of my hand after grabbing me! You can look at the security footage if you don’t believe me! There must be security cameras in that shop! Jeremy, you’ll know the truth after you see it!” Madeline was holding onto the last chance at life. She kept on emphasizing her words. “The truth is you pushed Mer! It’s clear as day on the security footage!”What?Meredith was stunned. Her mind went blank.Jeremy showed her the footage. Madeline did
