Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

After a while, Jeremy arrived. However, it was not because Madeline wanted to see him.

Instead. he had come to criticize her violently.

The light in the meeting room was dim. Nonetheless, it was enough for Madeline to see the malice and sinisterness on the man’s face.

Madeline was firm. “I didn’t push Meredith. She fell by herself on purpose. Jeremy, please believe me!”

Upon hearing her words, Jeremy stretched out his hand. His cold hand grabbed the back of her neck tightly. and he pushed her toward him.

His bottomless, black eyes were like cold daggers as he shot out a glare and said, “Not only is there evidence. but there are eyewitnesses. Yet, you still have the cheek to say it wasn't your doing?”

“I did not! Meredith framed me! I didn’t push her! I didn’t!” Madeline was having an emotional breakdown. She kept on emphasizing the truth in hopes that the man would believe her.

However, Jeremy's eyes only became more and more terrifying. His hand on the back of her neck tightened in grip. “Mer risked her life and the child in her stomach to frame you? Madeline. don’t you think your theory is pathetic?”

Madeline endured the pain and looked into Jeremy's eyes. He looked as if he was disgusted by her. “The child in her stomach is not...”

“Shut up!”

Before Madeline could finish, she was rudely interrupted by Jeremy.

Jeremy was flushed with anger as he pushed Madeline away.

Madeline was in handcuffs and could not support herself. So, she fell to the ground and a debilitating pain shot up her stomach. Her face was now white, but she gritted her teeth and struggled to lift her head.

“Jeremy. I did not! I really didn’t push her!”

The man towered over her: his cold, dark eyes fixed on her. “Explain your bullsh*t in prison.

Madeline. listen here. If anything happens to Mer and her child, I'll bury you along with them!”

His cold words hammered down on her before he left mercilessly.

Cold sweat drenched Madeline’s forehead as she crawled toward the direction Jeremy was walking away in. She called out for help in despair.

“Jeremy. my stomach hurts...”

However, the man did not stop. He simply walked away.

The officer closed the iron door of the meeting room and brought Madeline back to the lock-up.

That night, Madeline suffered immense pain in her stomach. She told the officer about her pregnancy. but she did not get any help. On the other hand. she was assaulted by her cellmates for no reason.

Madeline protected her stomach and let the punches land on her body.

After exiting the lock-up. she saw that the sky was grey: it was drizzling.

Dragging her tired and battered body. Madeline was about to leave when she saw Daniel in front of her.

She was curious. “Dan, why are you here?”

Daniel smiled at her gently and opened the car door. “I’m here for you.”

Madeline was hesitant as she had not showered for two days. She was dirty and even smelled: she did not want to dirty Daniel's car.

“Get in, Maddie. I'll send you home.” Daniel could see Madeline’s concern, but he did not mind.

The rain started to pour even more. When they arrived at the villa, Madeline thanked him.

Just as she was about to get out, Madeline heard Daniel's voice. “Is Jeremy horrible to you?”

Madeline turned her face away. “No. He’s great to me. Thank you, Dan. I'll be going now.”

She got out of the car in a panic and went straight into the heavy rain.

Almost instantly, Madeline was drenched. When she was about to enter the house. the door opened. Next. Jeremy’s elegant and poised figure appeared in front of her.
