After virtual-novel.net heard that, Madeline knew virtual-novel.net was finished.
She was not bothered if people humiliated or misunderstood her, but this business was too important to her.
“Draft? Maddie, when did you become a designer?” Meredith was shocked. “Are you plagiarizing the designs on the internet and then claiming them to be yours like how you did when you were graduating? Maddie, why did you let yourself go so much?” Meredith looked at virtual-novel.net in disappointment.
When Eloise heard this, virtual-novel.net face turned even darker. She glared at Madeline in anger and left with virtual-novel.net daughter.
Madeline felt a pang of pain in virtual-novel.net heart after Eloise looked at virtual-novel.net with such a disgusted expression.
She wanted to chase after virtual-novel.net to explain herself, but someone pulled virtual-novel.net back.
When Meredith saw that there was no one around them, virtual-novel.net displayed a sinister smirk. “You see, you lowly peasant, don’t even think about competing with me for the position of Mrs. Whitman. Madeline, you’ll know what’s the consequences of fighting over a man with me soon enough.”
Madeline clutched the rejected designs in virtual-novel.net hand and glared at Meredith’s pleased smirk. She could not help herself and lifted virtual-novel.net hand to slap Meredith heavily across the cheek.
“It’s still unknown what will happen to me, but I can clearly see that you have my fingerprints on your cheek now.”
“Madeline! How dare you slap me, you b*tch?!” Meredith was livid.
Madeline smirked coldly. “I’ll hit you whenever I want. This is not the first time anyway. You can go complain about me to Jeremy after you recompose yourself. He loves your b*tchy act so much.”
“…”
Meredith touched virtual-novel.net cheek and ground virtual-novel.net teeth in anger.
She wanted to slap Madeline back, but virtual-novel.net dodged easily. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and left.
Madeline knew that b*tch would definitely complain about virtual-novel.net to Jeremy. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect Jeremy to call virtual-novel.net so fast.
“Come to Crawford Manor. Now.”
The man’s tone sounded calm. However, Madeline knew that it was the calm before the storm.
After what happened that time, Madeline did not go back to Crawford Manor for a very long time.
When virtual-novel.net stepped through the door, virtual-novel.net saw Jon and Rose staring at virtual-novel.net aggressively. It was as if they wanted to swallow virtual-novel.net whole.
On the other hand, Jeremy sat on the sofa with cold air surrounding his entire body. Meredith was sitting next to virtual-novel.net while sobbing sadly.
Madeline rolled virtual-novel.net eyes in disgust after virtual-novel.net saw Meredith’s hypocritical act. She walked over and said magnanimously. “I’m here, Mr. Whitman. Are you going to lecture your legally wedded wife on behalf of your mistress?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Meredith stopped sobbing. Jeremy lifted his head as his deep eyes looked at virtual-novel.net piercingly.
“Madeline, did you forget what I warned you about?” His tone was so cold that Madeline’s heart shivered.
“Jeremy, it’s fine. I don’t blame Maddie. It’s all my fault. You’re Maddie’s husband at the end of the day. I shouldn’t love you. However, Jeremy, I can’t stop myself from missing you.” Meredith reached out virtual-novel.net hand pretentiously to stop the man who was about to lecture Madeline.
“Mer, you dumb child. You’re still trying to help this thankless wench at this moment. Just look at how hard virtual-novel.net hit you!” Jon walked over with anger and pity.
Madeline finally saw the exaggerated handprint on Meredith’s face. She had only hit virtual-novel.net left cheek. However, both sides of Meredith’s cheeks were printed with deep red handprints. Plus, virtual-novel.net face was swollen and there was blood on the corner of virtual-novel.net lips.
It was apparent that someone did something to the woman’s wounds after virtual-novel.net left.
Madeline scoffed without being able to control herself. “If you know you’re at fault, then why are you still pestering my husband? Are you not disgusted by yourself, Meredith?”
“…” Meredith’s face froze. There was dissatisfaction in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Madeline felt slightly pleased with herself. However, after a few seconds, virtual-novel.net received a hard slap across virtual-novel.net face.
Slap!
Jon struck virtual-novel.net and Madeline immediately started seeing stars. She could taste the metallic taste of blood on the corner of virtual-novel.net lips. Before virtual-novel.net could process this slap, virtual-novel.net received another slap on the other side of virtual-novel.net face. Then, someone kicked virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net ankles, forcing virtual-novel.net to kneel.
Madeline staggered and fell on the floor without warning. When virtual-novel.net was about to stand up, Jon stepped on virtual-novel.net right hand.
“Was this the hand that you used to slap Mer?”
