Meredith raised her voice. It was probably the first time she had been so hysterical in front of Jeremy.
She wildly pulled at Madeline who was in Jeremy’s embrace, shrieking. “Vera Quinn! I knew you didn’t
have good intentions. Giving me a present? You’re clearly here to seduce Jeremy!”
Madeline was getting quite annoyed with Meredith’s high-pitched voice. If it was not for the fact that she
had a plan, she would probably have slapped Meredith.
However, Madeline did not do so and instead frowned in mock dizziness. “Miss Crawford, you’re
mistaken.”
“I’m not mistaken! I saw it with my own eyes! You despicable woman!” As Meredith shouted, she
decided to send her palm straight toward Madeline’s face.
Smack!
Meredith’s palm did not find her target. Instead, it was grabbed firmly by Jeremy.
Jeremy’s eyes coldly looked at the hysterical Meredith. “I was just helping her up. Do you have to shout
at her like that?”
His voice was so cold that Meredith almost cried from hearing it.
“Jeremy, you’ve never talked to me like this before…” Meredith started to cry as she said that.
Jeremy released his hand, his expression still serious. “I’ve talked like this before. You don’t have to
read into it, but your actions just now really crossed the line. Apologize to Miss Vera.”
Madeline widened her eyes in disbelief. “What? You want me to apologize?”
She clenched her teeth as she looked at Madeline. “I will not apologize to her!”
“It’s fine, there’s no need to apologize. It’s my fault for not keeping my balance,” Madeline said softly
before turning to the angry Meredith. “Miss Crawford, I’m sorry for causing you grief.”
“Vera, quit your acting! Do you think I don’t know what intentions you have for Jeremy? Who are you to
even apologize to me?”
“You’re still going!” Jeremy interrupted her coldly, staring at Meredith with ice in his eyes.
“Today is your birthday, and Miss Vera is a guest. Are you supposed to treat your guests like this?
Apologize immediately.”
Meredith acted like the victim as her eyes reddened. “I won’t apologize to her! She clearly did it on
purpose!”
On purpose!
Madeline smirked subtly. She really did do it on purpose.
‘Don’t forget, Meredith, this is just what you taught me!
‘That day, you held onto the divorce papers and humiliated me in front of Jeremy. You provoked me This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
and even pretended to be pushed down by me to mislead Jeremy. You made him force me to apologize
to you, have you forgotten that?
‘You might have forgotten it, but I’ll never forget that my whole life!’
Flames of vengeance burned brightly in Madeline’s heart as she looked at the expression Meredith had
on at the moment with extreme satisfaction.
“Fine, if you won’t apologize, I’ll just leave right now.” Jeremy turned around and looked toward
Madeline’s face. “Miss Vera, would you be willing to accompany me?”
Madeline furrowed her eyebrows awkwardly. “Well…”
“Don’t go, Jeremy!” Meredith grabbed onto Jeremy with a worried look. “Jeremy, don’t leave. You’re
right. Today’s my birthday and I shouldn’t treat my guests this way, but I only lost myself because I love
you too much!”
Meredith refused to let go of Jeremy’s arm, reluctantly saying, “Jeremy, I can do anything as long as
you’re happy. I’ll apologize right now!”
She turned to Madeline as she said that.
