Chapter 353
Meredith widened her eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her while at a loss. She was beyond shocked when she saw the piercing and proud gaze staring back at her.
“You… Vera, what do you mean? What does my past have to do with you?”
“Does it not?” Madeline put her face closer to hers. “Look at my face. Without going against your conscience, can you say that what you’ve done in the past has nothing to do with me?”
“…”
Meredith’s heart was racing.
The face in front of Meredith reminded her of Madeline, the woman she had forced to her death.
Her eyes widened, and she was petrified.
“Y-You… Madeline…”
Madeline smirked when she saw Meredith’s horrified expression.
“Why? Do you finally remember what you did? Do you remember how you shamelessly stuck your foot into Madeline and Jeremy’s marriage? Do you remember how you harmed Madeline with all your ruses and caused her to carry all those burdens even until the day she died?”
Madeline’s spirited eyes were filled with icy rage. Hatred was burning in her heart and it was slowly burning its way to Meredith’s body.
“So, there’s no need for you to feel so aggrieved now. You destroyed someone else’s marriage back then, so you should’ve known that it’ll come back to bite you in the *ss.”
When she heard those words and saw that face, Meredith went from frenetic to seething with anger.
She pulled her hand back, her eyes looking sinister. “Vera, you indeed came prepared. You even looked into my past!”
Meredith ground her teeth. “If I hadn’t seen how you seduced Jeremy with my own two eyes, I would have thought that you’re that penniless and wretched b*tch Madeline Crawford who deserved to die!”
Meredith felt herself shaking. She felt that this was the calm before the storm.
“I… T-This b*tch slapped me just now!” Meredith changed the topic and touched her face aggrievedly. “Jeremy, you have to stand up for me.” Meredith complained while looking weak. However, she noticed that Jeremy was only staring at her with a cold look. Meredith became frenetic.
“J-Jeremy, I was just babbling. This woman was trying to infuriate me and that’s why I made it all up! I just wanted to scare her! I was hoping she’d know her place and leave you.”
“Your way of scaring someone is so unique, Miss Crawford. Back then, you wanted to disfigure me just like how you disfigured Madeline with a knife. Just earlier, you said you wanted to strangle me to death like how you strangled Madeline’s child. Jeremy, I’m so scared.”
Madeline ran over to Jeremy and leaned against him in fear.
Her intense aura before this became soft in an instant.
Meredith was beyond shocked when she saw Madeline’s sudden change in attitude.
This Vera Quinn was even more of an expert than she was!
