‘Madeline, you disgust me.’
His words of disgust felt like a million arrows to virtual-novel.net heart. They had all been aimed at virtual-novel.net already heavily damaged heart.
He believed Meredith’s words so much that virtual-novel.net would not even give virtual-novel.net the chance to explain herself.
The icy water rushed into virtual-novel.net mouth and nose. She was beginning to drown. However, virtual-novel.net suddenly did not want to struggle anymore.
Wouldn’t it be nice if virtual-novel.net just died like this?
Nevertheless, just when Madeline closed virtual-novel.net eyes in despair, Jeremy pulled virtual-novel.net up and threw virtual-novel.net to the floor.
Madeline was like a broken rag doll. Soaking wet, virtual-novel.net curled up on the floor lifelessly.
The tumor in virtual-novel.net body was extremely painful. It was so painful that even breathing made virtual-novel.net suffer. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head unbendingly.
“I don’t know that man. Jeremy, why won’t you believe what I say…”
“Why should I believe a sinister and cruel woman like you?”
Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s collar angrily. The mole on virtual-novel.net left breast was showing through virtual-novel.net tattered clothes. When Jeremy recalled what Tanner said, his deep eyes became filled with iciness and deviousness.
He ripped Madeline’s clothes into pieces in his rage.
He was like a tyrant who had lost his mind and was violently punishing her.
Aside from pain, Madeline would not feel anything else.
She saw how Jeremy was looking at her, and his brutal aura made virtual-novel.net tremble in fear.
Madeline took in a sharp breath. She felt as if virtual-novel.net bones were going to be crushed as well. “Jeremy, no…”
“Madeline, why are you still pretending? Don’t you like this kind of thing? I’ll fulfill your wishes.” Jeremy’s deep and alluring voice was taunting her.
When it ended, virtual-novel.net threw a wad of hundred dollar bills at Madeline’s face. He was treating virtual-novel.net like a woman who had sold virtual-novel.net body.
The blood in Madeline’s body froze instantly. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net got up unbendingly. “Jeremy, I am your wife!”
The man slowly put on his clothes and looked at virtual-novel.net in contempt. “How could I have a shameless wife who climbs into the bed of every man?”
Hiss.
Each and every one of his words hammered on virtual-novel.net heart.
“If it weren’t for Mer, you’d be lying in the hospital.”
“Pfft.” Madeline burst out laughing. “Right, it’s all thanks to that two-faced b*tch. She was the one who made me this way.”
Jeremy stopped turning around. His cold hands grabbed the back of Madeline’s neck, and virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net toward him.
“If you dare slander Meredith again, I’ll make sure that old man in the psychiatric hospital will never receive treatment regardless of the hospital or even if you have money!”
Madeline’s heart sank. Jeremy felt pleased when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net expression change. “Scared, huh? Madeline, let me tell you, this is just the start! I’ll make you suffer if you dare plot against me and bully Meredith!”
After virtual-novel.net warned her, virtual-novel.net kicked virtual-novel.net away mercilessly.
With a loud thud, Madeline fell from the bed with virtual-novel.net body covered in wounds.
She did not have the energy to get up. She could only allow the intense pain in virtual-novel.net body continue to torture her.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could not give up so easily. She still had virtual-novel.net child and a grandfather who needed her.
…
The next day, Madeline woke up on the floor. She got a call from the manager of the nightclub in virtual-novel.net drowsy state. The manager was firm. He insisted Madeline compensate for the wine that virtual-novel.net had wasted.
Madeline did not have that much money. Plus, virtual-novel.net needed money for Len’s surgery. Without any other option, Madeline signed a certificate of indebtedness.
In one night, not only did virtual-novel.net have to bear a debt of five hundred thousand dollars, but virtual-novel.net had to fork out three hundred thousand dollars for the surgery. Madeline felt as if the sky was falling.
However, virtual-novel.net current situation would not allow virtual-novel.net to back down. She finished the ring designs virtual-novel.net had drafted and sent them to the client in hopes that they would pay virtual-novel.net soon. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net accepted a few more orders with much lower prices.
Furthermore, someone from the upper management of a jewelry company seemed to be very fond of Madeline’s designs. So, they invited virtual-novel.net to their office to have a talk.
Before their meeting, Madeline took a painkiller. She was worried that virtual-novel.net tumor would hurt when the time came.
After virtual-novel.net met the executive in the meeting room, Madeline was slightly shocked.
