Chapter 131
Her heart had long since been hurt so much that it could never recover again, but now, these people still wanted to continue hurting her.
Eloise turned around, shooting a hateful gaze at Madeline. “Madeline! Just look at what you’ve done to Meredith. Jeremy was Meredith’s fiancé, but you used despicable means to snatch him away. Now, you even called Meredith with Jeremy’s phone and said those shameless things to hurt her! Do you have no shame?!”
Madeline finally understood what was going on. Meredith plotted this suicide scheme during the phone call she received when Jeremy was having a fever.
Madeline pursed her lips while smiling at Meredith. “Meredith, just keep on lying. Aren’t you just hoping that Jeremy and I will get a divorce so that you, the mistress, can take my spot? Isn’t that why you did this? Then listen to me. Even if I die, I’ll keep holding onto the title of Mrs. Whitman!”
The moment she finished those words, Madeline received a slap from Eloise.
“Shameless!” she shouted, “Madeline, a girl like you deserves to be abandoned by her parents! Your parents would probably have been angered to death by you!”
Madeline’s eyes burned. She wanted nothing more but to scream out all the pain and frustration. However, she swallowed it all down. “Yes, I’ve never had parents when I was growing up. Only my mentally unstable grandfather raised me.
“My grandfather told me I wasn’t abandoned by my parents. They just overlooked me in a moment of carelessness. However, now I know that they weren’t careless. They just didn’t love me at all. That’s because they can’t even recognize me when I’m standing in front of them…
“Jeremy, you should just ignore me from now on. You shouldn’t care about me anymore!” Meredith shouted at just the right time, interrupting Madeline.
Madeline looked up and saw Meredith suddenly jumping up from the bed while holding a fruit knife in hand, acting like she wanted to kill herself.
“Meredith!” Jeremy called out to her anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
Madeline’s heart was cold. When had the man who she loved for so many years ever shown her so much concern? No, he had never.
Amidst Madeline’s confusion, she heard Meredith’s so-called last words, “Mom, I’m sorry. Jeremy, I’m sorry, I love you. Let’s get married in our next life! Madeline, I’ll give Jeremy to you. I won’t fight with you anymore. From now on, you won’t need to slander me, provoke me, or give me calls like that. I’ll just give you what you want!”
“Meredith, no!” Eloise rushed in to snatch the knife away. “Jeremy, do you really want Meredith to die in front of you? Even now, are you still going to cling to your grandfather’s words and not divorce Madeline?!”
Madeline’s heart ached at Eloise’s words. She always thought that Jeremy would keep his promise, but he was looking at Meredith in hesitation.
After a few seconds of silence, Meredith shouted while crying, “Mom, let me go!”
After the shout, Madeline saw that Meredith had slashed her wrist and blood was spurting out.
Looking at that situation, Jeremy lost any hesitation he had as he walked in front of Meredith. “Meredith, don’t hurt yourself anymore. I promise you, I’ll divorce Madeline right away! I’ll make you my wife!”
