Chapter 369
Madeline gave him a half-hearted smile. “Jeremy, are you here to visit Meredith? Are you still unable to let go of her?”
Jeremy walked in front of her, his charming eyes looking into her exquisite ones. “The person I can’t let go of now is you.”
“Really?” Madeline looked into Jeremy’s eyes as if she was surprised. “If that’s the case, I’m so happy.”
“Of course, it’s true.” Jeremy reached out his hand. “As long as you’re willing, I’ll be responsible for you from now on.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy’s outstretched hand. The joints of his fingers were evident. They were long and fair, looking pleasing to the eyes. She used to long for the warmth of his palm so much back then.
When he saw Madeline staying quiet and looking at his hand, a hint of undetectable uneasiness appeared on his face. “Are you not willing?”
Madeline looked at him and smiled. She placed her hand into Jeremy’s and said profoundly, “Why would I not? I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”
‘Yes, so long.’
Jeremy then brought Madeline back to his place.
When she saw Jackson who was having his meal, Madeline could not help but feel relieved.
She walked over to him. “Jack.”
Jackson lifted his crystal-clear eyes all of a sudden. “Vera.”
“Jack, thank you for testifying for me so bravely.” Madeline smiled and caressed the little guy’s head. Looking at his pinkish face, she could not help but feel heartbroken.
Meredith was able to give birth to such a beautiful and sensible child, but she was not even the least bit grateful for him.
“Vera, you have to be safe and sound.” Jackson’s tone was solemn. After he said that, he took out a crystal bracelet from his pocket.
Madeline’s eyes lit up and she was a little surprised. “I thought I lost this bracelet.”
Perhaps he was influenced by her smile, so the little guy smiled for the first time in forever. Two of his little canine teeth were showing.
However, she did not expect this child to like her so much as well.
Perhaps he had never felt any motherly love from Meredith while Madeline was able to give him just that.
…
Meredith was charged instantly. The court had scheduled a time for a hearing.
Even though the judge had not come up with a verdict yet, Meredith’s reputation was already ruined.
The stocks and shares of Montgomery Enterprise were also affected because of her.
Madeline sat in her office and read about the news on Montgomery Enterprise. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
She knew that when Madeline was officially convicted, Montgomery Enterprise’s reputation and stocks would be affected again.
