Meredith started yelling at her while jealousy made her face twist in a horrifying way.
Madeline smiled nonchalantly. “As Jeremy's wife. I'm happy to rid him of his troubles.”
“Madeline. you... you're so cheap!”
“I can’t compare to you, Mer. You drugged Jeremy so that you could marry him. Why? Had Jeremy refused to touch you when he was sober?”
Meredith's face looked awkward as if Madeline had exposed something. However. she kept a calm and proud expression.
“Of course. Jeremy loves touching me. He loves pestering me so much! He’s always by my side every night unlike compared to you. You can only stay at home while your husband is away.”
Meredith's words were laced with thorns. Subsequently, she took out some documents and placed them in front of Madeline.
“These are the divorce papers Jeremy asked me to tell you to sign. Hurry up and sign them. Jeremy doesn't want to see an unsophisticated and poor hussy like you ever again.”
Madeline had gone through many things to put on a mask that made her look confident and at ease. However. she froze when she saw the divorce papers.
Divorce.
Jeremy wanted to divorce her.
Madeline felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. It was so cold that every cell in her body was in pain.
She had known that this day would come. However. she had not expected it to come so fast.
Jeremy loved Meredith. In this chase of love. Madeline was the loser. She was destined to suffer a crushing defeat.
Looking at Madeline’s face that was beginning to pale. Meredith started laughing savagely.
“Madeline, just look at you. Jeremy will never fall in love with a woman like you. Jeremy had told me multiple times that you're the most disgusting and shameless woman he has ever seen. Marrying you was the biggest taint of his life!”
Meredith walked over and glanced at Madeline in disdain. The latter’s head was lowered as she looked at the divorce papers.
On the other hand, Meredith chuckled coldly and became more and more arrogant.
“You shameless b*tch! Get out of Glendale after you've signed the papers. If not, I'll beat you up every time I see you!”
“Hmph.”
No. she should say that there was no longer any sisterly love nor family love between them.
There were only hypocritical acts of affection and calculative schemes.
“Madeline. how dare you slap me!” Meredith exclaimed. Her features were twisted. “I'll make you regret this!”
She pointed at Madeline and turned around angrily.
Madeline was unbothered. She sat back on the bed, unsure if she had exerted too much force because her debilitating pain was back again.
After a while, Meredith returned. The moment she entered the room. she sat on the floor and held her face. She looked extremely aggrieved.
“Maddie. don’t be like this. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be mad. You should just put all the blame on me. However, don’t be mad at the child in my stomach. This is Jeremy's child.”
What?
Madeline was extremely confused. However. when she saw the man at the door, she understood everything.
