Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

His sudden intimate gesture caused Madeline’s heart to beat faster. Her face also began to heat up gradually.

She lifted her head to look at Jeremy. His side profile was good looking, but his face was neutral.

“Grandpa is here.”

He said those three words coldly and Madeline understood immediately.

He merely wanted to put on the act of a loving couple in front of Old Master Whitman.

Madeline's heart became cold. and she felt that this was very ironic.

There were no outsiders at the dining table. If there was one. it was Meredith.

Old Master Whitman’s eyes were kind. However. for some reason. Madeline felt that he looked familiar. It was as if she had seen him from years ago.

What surprised Madeline was how Jeremy ignored Meredith's feelings and took care of her just to make the old master happy.

Not only did he take food for her, but he even peeled prawns for her. This was the first time

Madeline saw Jeremy's gentle smile on a very rare occasion.

Madeline lifted her head to look at Meredith. She forced herself to smile, but it was obvious she was not happy.

It felt just like a dream. However. she knew that the dream would be over soon.

After dinner. Jeremy held Madeline’s hand to walk to the garage. His warmth reached the bottom of her heart, and her face heated up. She wanted very badly to stay in this moment forever...

Nevertheless. reality was cruel.

When they got to the side of the car, Jeremy swung away Madeline’s hand in disgust.

“Get lost.”

His sudden horrible attitude caused Madeline to be in a state of shock.

She watched as Jeremy opened the door considerately for Meredith who came after them.

Subsequently, he watched as she got into the car before revving the vehicle and disappearing in front of Madeline.

Consequently. Madeline was abandoned on the empty street. The autumn wind blew on her face. and coldness took over her heart. Moreover, the wind blew away the fake act of warmth and affection.

Madeline did not know who was the one who sent the video. but she thanked them immediately.

She did not overthink things and called a car to go to Jeremy's office.

Even if she did not have much time to live, she did not want to allow that vile and cruel woman to continue fooling Jeremy.

She arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. When she told the receptionist who she was, the person looked at her with wonder in their eyes.

When Madeline walked to the lift. she could hear a lot of discussions going on about her behind her back. She opened Twitter and saw that the incident the night prior was trending.

The comments were all scolding her and calling her light-fingered. In addition to that, they also said that an ugly duckling like her would always be an ugly duckling. Even after marrying an excellent man like Jeremy, she would still be cheap.

Madeline grabbed her phone and ran to Jeremy's office. He had just finished a meeting when he spotted Madeline running over. His eyes were cold. “Why are you here? Don’t you know how popular you are now?”

He was talking about what had happened the night before.

Madeline opened the video that had anonymously been sent to her and handed it over to him.

“Look closely. Look at who's the real thief.”
