Chapter 272
Rose had heard Jeremy and Meredith’s conversation earlier, but she did not expect it to get exposed so quickly.
She comforted Meredith, saying, “Mer, you can’t admit defeat now. You have to get the position of Mrs. Whitman! Not only is it a symbol of status, but it’ll also give you limitless wealth!”
Rose’s eyes were filled with greed. There was a hint of savageness in her eyes. “I’ll take care of that Vera Quinn for you.”
After venting for a while, Meredith touched her wounded face while she gritted her teeth.
“Of course, I won’t admit defeat so easily! I’ll kill anyone who dares to steal my man away from me!”
Her eyes were filled with venom. Sinister ruses were starting to appear behind her eyes.
“Hmph, Vera Quinn, I’ll let my mother teach you a lesson. But it’s not you, Mom. It’s Eloise!”
…
Jeremy drove away from the hospital and arrived at a location somewhere.
During his drive here, he felt like a puppet with no senses nor thoughts. He drove apathetically while his brain was only filled with what Meredith said just now.
She was the one who ruined Madeline’s face.
Heh.
Jeremy was expressionless, but he was smiling sarcastically deep down.
After a while, his limited edition sports car stopped in front of an old apartment.
Jeremy went upstairs and into a unit.
This was Madeline’s house before she passed. He had bought it for double the price.
When he was about to leave, he received a call from Whitman Manor.
He thought the old master needed to tell him something. When he answered the call, he heard his mother berating him furiously, “Jeremy, why didn’t you answer your phone for the entire day? Why are you ignoring Mer when such a huge thing has happened to her?”
When he heard Meredith’s name, he frowned in frustration. He scoffed before saying, “A huge thing?”
“Of course, it’s huge! A woman’s face is so important!” his mother said without even taking the time to think.
Jeremy chuckled coldly. He did not want to say anything more. When he was about to hang up, his mother said weirdly, “Jeremy, I don’t care where you are right now. You have to come back to the manor. We have an ‘important guest’ here.”
Important guest?
It was obvious that his mother was being sarcastic when she said that.
He asked her who it was, and after hearing her answer, Jeremy raised his brows before rushing back to the manor.
