Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364

“…” The man was speechless.

Madeline slowly took out a tissue from the pocket of her waterproof tracksuit. Then, she bent down and picked up the envelope from its corner.

“Did you call the police, Mrs. Montgomery?” She smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

Eloise glared at her. “Vera, the police will be here soon. Don’t even think about quibbling about this.”

“You should leave the chance of quibbling to your precious daughter.” Madeline shook the envelope in her hand. “Thank you for giving me the evidence. I think the fingerprints of the dealer should be on this.”

“…”

“…”

The man’s expression froze as he looked at Meredith subconsciously.

On the other hand, the corner of Meredith’s lips were twitching. She looked as if she was at a loss.

Madeline smiled wider when she saw their expressions. “Mrs. Montgomery, you can hire a lawyer for your daughter now. I’m curious about what you’re going to tell them when they ask you why your daughter’s fingerprints are on the envelope?”

“What nonsense are you spewing? How would Mer’s fingerprints appear on the envelope?” Eloise denied in certainty.

“You’ll know if it is soon enough.” Madeline did not want to argue with her anymore. She handed the envelope to Jeremy. “Jeremy, I feel safest if you’re the one who’s holding on to this.”

She looked at him with gentleness in her eyes. “When I fell from the incline, I was so scared that I won’t be able to see you again.”

Jeremy looked at her with a gentle gaze. There was an unreadable profoundness rippling in his eyes. “No, I won’t let you disappear from my life.”

Meredith’s eyes almost fell out of her sockets when she watched Madeline and Jeremy bill and coo at each other.

After a while, the police arrived.

After they were updated on the situation, the police told everyone that they had to go into the station to make statements.

Madeline got into the car without hesitating. On the other hand, in order to show that she had nothing to hide, Meredith also quickly got into the police car.

Meredith made a surprised expression. “Officer, did you make a mistake? I didn’t do such a thing!”

“My daughter would never do that! Did you investigate it thoroughly? You can’t arrest someone because of someone’s one-sided story!”

“Madam, you’re slandering us and questioning our abilities by saying that. Of course, we’ll only arrest someone after we have sufficient evidence,” the officer said seriously.

“Evidence? What evidence? That envelope?”

“Of course, it’s not just the fingerprints on the envelope,” Madeline said slowly. She took out a phone from her pocket and opened a video. Then, Madeline and Meredith’s voices from the forest sounded from the speaker of the phone.

Meredith’s eyes were wide when she heard the conversation as her expression froze. Eloise’s expression also started changing rapidly.

Madeline lifted her gaze, her eyes looking stern. “Meredith, you didn’t expect this, right? I recorded everything!”

“…”

“I knew you wouldn’t be so kind, so I came prepared. If I wasn’t worried about Jack, do you think you would have had the chance to push me down the incline? You’re so heartless. It’s understandable why you would want to kill me, but you didn’t even want to spare your son!”
