Chapter 438
‘I will leave a ray of light for you in the winter for the sake of Grandpa and Jack.
‘This is my last act of kindness to you.’
Two days later, not only was the crisis not solved, but the shares of Whitman Corporation were also greatly affected. There were also a lot of rumors about the possibility of them closing transactions.
However, Jeremy did not look worried. On the other hand, he brought Madeline back to have dinner in Whitman Manor.
During dinner, Jeremy’s phone rang non-stop. This time, he received a call and walked away. His mother placed down her fork in worry.
“Aunt Karen, what’s wrong?” Yvonne looked concerned.
“What else can be wrong? So many things have been happening to the company recently. I have no idea what’s going on. They all happened at the same time.”
“Aunt Karen, don’t worry. With Jeremy’s abilities, he’ll be able to settle anything.” Yvonne had a look of admiration on her face as she flattered.
“What do you know? This is related to ZF as well. I think there’ll be some trouble coming,” Jeremy’s mother said in dissatisfaction. When she saw Madeline holding her fork and eating carefreely, her face darkened even more.
“Hmph, Vera, what kind of wife are you? Your husband is so busy that he doesn’t even have time to eat and you’re having the time of your life wolfing down your meal. If anything happens to Whitman Corporation, you’ll have to suffer as well!”
Madeline chuckled lowly when she heard that. “I won’t be affected even if something were to happen to Whitman Corporation. I have my own company and business. I don’t need to depend on a man.”
“You…” Jeremy’s mother glared at Madeline angrily.
Yvonne quickly comforted her before starting to attack Madeline. “Vera, how can you say that? Are you even Jeremy’s wife? If you don’t know how to be Jeremy’s wife, then you should divorce him soon.”
“How much did your son torture Madeline because of that vile woman, Meredith? Now that the truth has come out, not only do you not feel remorseful for what you’ve done, but you even want to treat an innocent person like this. Why? Did Madeline owe you anything? Or do you think that you’re better than her because you’re her mother-in-law?”
Jeremy’s mother’s jaw dropped. “H-How dare you talk to me that way?”
Madeline curled the corners of her lips in arrogance. “I’m not your maid, so why can’t I talk to you that way? On the other hand, I don’t think you’re able to talk to me in that tone soon enough.”
“…” Jeremy’s mother looked at the domineering Madeline with a look of loss on her face.
After Jeremy ended his call, he realized that the atmosphere in the room was weird.
His mother stood up and pointed at Madeline furiously. “Jeremy, this woman is utterly undisciplined and out of control! She yelled at me while pointing at me. She doesn’t even respect me at all!”
“Yeah, Jeremy. I saw and heard everything! Not only did Vera scream at Aunt Karen, but she also scolded you. She said you made Madeline suffer a lot, but Madeline was a bad woman! She deserved to die!”
