Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Meredith wanted to reject it, but to keep up her gentle appearance, she accepted Madeline’s gift with a smile. “Thank you.”

After that, she pulled on Jeremy’s sleeve. “Jeremy, let’s go in. We shouldn’t keep the other guests waiting.”

“Indeed, the two of you head inside first.” Eloise and Sean urged, their expressions full of happiness. “Make use of the happy occasion today and quickly set a date for your marriage.”

Meredith smiled shyly at Jeremy. “Jeremy, I can finally marry you and become your bride.”

Looking at Meredith’s smiling face, Madeline shot them a gentle smile as well.

As they returned to the garden, quite a few gazes fell onto Madeline, all of them trying to guess her status and origin.

Sensing all their attention on Madeline, Meredith started to get unhappy.

Seeing that Jeremy did not seem to be willing to propose today, Meredith had an unsettled feeling. It would be quite embarrassing if it did not come to pass today.

With that in mind, she turned to Eloise and Sean before saying, “Mom, Dad, I’m feeling a bit unwell. I want to go back to my room to rest.”

Eloise and Sean walked over, full of concern for her. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

“I’m okay. Could the two of you take care of the guests?” Meredith smiled gently. “Jeremy, could you accompany me back to my room?”

Jeremy did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Madeline. “Miss Vera, please make yourself at home. I have something to see you about later.”

Madeline smiled and nodded.

Staring at that scene, Meredith turned around and headed inside with a dark look on her face.

Looking at the retreating backs, Madeline calmly made a move as well.

Following the voice, she spotted a middle-aged woman wiping away her tears in the corner. In her hands was a photograph.

“Brittany, oh my Brit…” The woman continued sobbing.

Brittany?

Madeline immediately thought of Brittany Montgomery.

“Brit, today should have been your birthday, but you were murdered by that despicable woman, Madeline! That woman deserves to die. You were so kind and smart, you shouldn’t have left so early…”

It was Brittany Montgomery.

That woman was certain that Madeline was Brittany’s murderer.

What Madeline could not understand was why she was sobbing so much for Brittany?
