Chapter 354
Back then, she was the one playing this kind of role to get Jeremy’s trust and pity, but now…
Meredith watched as Jeremy pulled Vera into his arms comfortingly. His tone was filled with an intense desire to protect her.
“No one will be able to touch a single hair of yours as long as I’m here!”
“Jeremy, she’s just pretending! That woman is just acting!” Meredith exclaimed angrily.
“I’m happy to watch even if she’s just acting.”
“…”
Jeremy’s answer froze Meredith. At the same time, it stunned Madeline. However, it made Madeline smirk in secret.
‘Meredith, you’re finally getting what you deserve.’
“Jeremy, we’ve been together for so many years and you don’t even trust me! You’d even go as far as to trust this witch! I’m so heartbroken. Boo-hoo…”
Meredith covered her face and sobbed. Suddenly, she ran upstairs and into the guestroom.
Actually, what she was doing right now was running away from Jeremy’s accusations.
If Jeremy asked her about the child he had with Madeline back then, she would not know how to answer him.
Back then, she had hired someone to induce labor on Madeline. Then, she kept that premature child that she stole as her own.
After Madeline was released from prison, she lied to her that Jeremy was the one who killed the child.
After Jeremy knew about Madeline’s delivery in prison, Meredith hired someone to fake a report to make him believe that the child died from some complications during the birth.
Jeremy smiled gently at Madeline. “Trust me, you’ll become the only matriarch of this house soon. In addition to that, you’ll also become my only wife.”
The only matriarch and wife?
Madeline laughed. She found it ironic, and at the same time, pathetic. However, she would still put on this act until the very end. “Okay, I believe you.”
‘No, Jeremy, the only person I believe is myself.
‘I believe that soon enough, I’ll let you and Meredith get the punishment and retribution you deserve!’
She looked at him as she swore in her heart. Then, he grabbed her hand.
“I want to take you to a place now.”
