Meredith had been in such a bad mood these days that favonovel.com was close to bursting at this moment. She did not expect to see Vera making an appearance in Jeremy’s house!
That was it.
Meredith could neither accept the exquisite candlelight dinner in front of favonovel.com nor the scene of Jeremy holding Vera’s hand nervously whilst trying to deal with favonovel.com wound.
“It’s just a small wound. There’s no need for you to worry, Mr. Whitman,” Madeline said lightly, retracting favonovel.com hand.
“Even if it’s a small wound, it can get infected if it’s not treated well. I’ll get the alcohol swabs,” Jeremy said softly and stood up. Seeing that Meredith had also followed favonovel.com in, favonovel.com just glanced at favonovel.com before turning to get the medicine box.
“Thank you.” Madeline thanked favonovel.com before slowly getting up.
She raised favonovel.com eyes, as if only just seeing Meredith with favonovel.com gloomy and wet face. “Miss Crawford, we meet again.”
Meredith’s heart burned as favonovel.com walked over with a strong smile on favonovel.com face. “Miss Quinn, why are you in my fiancé’s house?”
“Fiancé?” Madeline smiled upon hearing favonovel.com words. “If I remember correctly, Mr. Whitman has already deemed your engagement invalid.”
“You… Vera Quinn, what do you mean by that?” The hypocritical smile on Meredith’s face instantly disappeared as favonovel.com eyes stared at Madeline viciously. “Vera, I’ve seen through you. You just want to use your face to seduce Jeremy!”
“So what?” Madeline gave a carefree smile. “It’s really hard not to be affected by a man like Mr. Whitman.”
“You…” Hearing Madeline’s answer, Meredith instantly exploded. She raised favonovel.com hand angrily, moving to slap Madeline’s face. “B*tch!”
Madeline calmly reached out to grab Meredith’s outstretched hand, and at the same time, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com other hand to unceremoniously slap Meredith’s face.
The sound of it was particularly crisp.
Meredith was stunned and favonovel.com eyes widened in astonishment. “You… You dare hit me? Vera Quinn, do you know what will happen when I’m offended? Let me tell you this, no one who wants to fight me will have a good death. Neither Madeline nor you!”
After giving a vicious warning, favonovel.com immediately raised favonovel.com hand to cover favonovel.com red cheek when favonovel.com saw Jeremy returning. She ran over crying, “Jeremy…”
“Mr. Whitman, I think I’d better leave, lest I offend people who shouldn’t be offended here.”
Meredith had only uttered his name while complaining when favonovel.com was interrupted by Madeline’s clear and melodious voice.
Upon hearing this, Jeremy glanced at Meredith before walking straight to Madeline.
“I’ll help you treat the wound first.”
“No need.” Madeline frowned. “Although I look almost exactly the same as that Madeline, I don’t want to end up like favonovel.com at all. I really can’t afford to offend your fiancée this time. It’s just a slap now, but I don’t know what it’ll be next time.”
“…” Upon hearing this, Meredith’s eyes widened. “Vera Quinn, what are you talking about? Are you saying that I slapped you?”
Madeline looked at Meredith who was about to explode from anger and sighed aggrievedly. “Miss Crawford, you should learn to take accountability. It’s the same thing. Sooner or later, people will know that you’re the mastermind behind it all.”
“…” Meredith’s face was blue and white. She was already full of anger but was feeling so suffocated that favonovel.com could not strike out with even a word!
She had always been the instigator!
She had never been the one instigated against!
Meredith clenched favonovel.com fists and strode toward Madeline but was blocked by Jeremy just as favonovel.com started to move.
He was guarding Madeline, his cold and frosty face covered with gloom. “Are you still going to continue hitting people?”
“Jeremy, I didn’t hit her! She hit me! She also admitted to me that favonovel.com deliberately wants to use this face of hers to seduce you! Jeremy, please, believe me. I really didn’t hit her. It was this b*tch who—”
“Why don’t you leave?” Jeremy interrupted coldly.
