Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697

She thought Jeremy would go along with Felicity’s acts, but he lifted the wine glass in his hand and poured the contents in the glass on her face.

Meredith screamed, having not ever expected Jeremy to do that.

She was dumbfounded as her face was covered with red liquid. Then, she looked in utter horror as the man in front of her stood up slowly. “Jeremy, w-why did you splash me with the wine?”

Jeremy did not even want to look at her. He turned his face away in disgust. “Not only can red wine help one relax, but it can also wake someone up.”

His voice was alluring, but it sounded icy. “Are you awake now?”

“…” Meredith was confused. Her face was filled with rage, but she asked innocently, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? I’m doing this to help you regain your vision quicker. This is one way of psychological treatment.”

“What a unique way,” Madeline walked over as she said slowly.

Meredith wanted to flatter Jeremy some more when she heard Madeline’s voice. She turned around and saw Madeline strutting over to her elegantly.

“Madeline?” Meredith was shocked. However, she changed her way of addressing Madeline immediately. “Miss Montgomery, why are you here? How did you come in?”

“I’m here to watch how a psychologist like you treats her patients.” Madeline smiled with interest before inspecting Meredith’s outfit.

“Oh, do you need to wear a nightgown thinner than paper when you treat your patients? Do you also need to listen to music and drink wine as well?”

“…”

Meredith looked like she was at a loss. Then, she looked at Jeremy. “Jeremy, Miss Montgomery is just speaking nonsense. I played music and let you drink some wine to help you relax. Plus, I’m not wearing a nightgown. I’m always professional and serious when I’m treating my patients. I’d never do anything that goes against my conscience and medical ethics!”

Meredith denied it in deadly earnest, her tone sounding righteous. However, she was scowling at Madeline threateningly and with disdain.

She thought Jeremy could not see, so she did not hide her expression at all.

However, how could she accept it? She had meticulously planned for a fun night with Jeremy when Madeline’s sudden appearance ruined it.

Meredith tried to suppress the rage and dissatisfaction in her heart, wanting to make Jeremy stay. However, she saw his sharp gaze landing precisely on her face.

“Don’t try to start anything with me. I won’t feel anything even if you stand buck naked in front of me.”

“…” Meredith was frozen instantly. That sentence gave her such a huge blow.

However, Jeremy would not care about how she felt. He grabbed Madeline’s hand and turned around.

Meredith stood frozen on the same spot, her face feeling like it was burning due to embarrassment.

She turned around furiously and pushed the wine on the bartop to the floor.
