Chapter 210
…
Meredith had originally wanted to take advantage of this good day that was the 50th anniversary
celebration of the Whitman family and borrow the power of the media to help establish her identity as
well as status. She did not expect that Tanner and Vera’s appearance would completely disrupt her
plan!
Not only that, but there were also various searches being made on the internet that were not good for
her.
Meredith could only ask Eloise for her help to remove the searches.
Even though all these public opinions had been suppressed, she was still feeling uneasy when it came
to Jeremy.
Meredith never saw Jeremy again in the entire night that passed. His phone line was always busy
when she called him that Meredith had even wondered if her number was blocked.
Worried that Jeremy would believe whatever Tanner said, Meredith went to Jeremy’s villa early in the
morning to wait for him.
She had also deliberately chosen not to disturb or enter the house. She kept herself waiting at the door.
Jeremy had stayed up all night.
Ever since the day Madeline turned into a handful of ashes, he had never once slept peacefully ever
again. He was only able to sleep peacefully when his father asked someone to buy him a very special
aromatherapy kit.
Last night, however, even when he had that aromatherapy, he still could not sleep.
After tossing and turning all night, Madeline still lingered in his mind. She was looking at him with such
eager and expectant eyes again and again, begging him to believe her just once.
However, he had never believed her.
When Tanner slandered her for having an improper relationship with him, he chose to believe the
bstard, believing that she was the kind of btch who would do anything for money.
He had so cruelly destroyed the hope in her eyes bit by bit, finally turning her into ashes…
His heart hurt, but it was too late.
The corners of Jeremy’s eyes were sore. He washed his face, and when he went downstairs, a servant
told him that Meredith had been waiting for him at the door for more than an hour.
Without any response, he asked the servant to wait upon Jackson to get up, wash up, and eat
breakfast with him.
Seeing the face in front of him that was almost the same as his when he was a child, he suddenly felt
repulsed.
He had treated the child born to him and his wife so cruelly but allowed the child born by another
woman to lead such a well-fed life.
Jeremy instantly lost his appetite and got up, walking toward the hallway.
Jackson raised clear and honest eyes, looking at his father who had always been so indifferent to him.
He did not know what he had done wrong. He only knew that in this family, his father did not like him
and that his mother also hated him very much.
He lowered his misty eyes and ate breakfast silently while thinking of Big Sis Vera.
Jeremy opened the door and the gray sky occupied his sight.
Meredith, who had been waiting outside the door, greeted him happily upon seeing Jeremy open the
door.
“Jeremy!”
Meredith pretended to accidentally fall on the lawn and sprain her ankle after having been standing for
a long time as well as from being too excited.
“Ah!”
Meredith made a muffled sound of pain. She thought Jeremy would have hugged her nervously as
before, but this time, he stood there motionless like a beautiful sculpture. He looked at her without
moving.
Meredith sat up slowly, looking at the man in front of her sadly. “Jeremy… Jeremy, I know you must
suspect me because of what Tanner said, thinking that it was he and I who conspired to wrong
Madeline together, but I can swear to God that I’ve never done anything against my conscience. If I did,
let me be punished by getting myself separated from Jackie forever!”
Meredith was so moved that even her tears began to fall.
Jeremy looked at her, then walked in front of her with a grim expression. “I only have one question for Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
you now.”
