Madeline clutched virtual-novel.net aching right cheek. She was confused.
“Madeline, you vile woman! You evil witch!” Eloise shrieked as virtual-novel.net pointed at Madeline’s nose.
Madeline did not understand why virtual-novel.net felt so horrible when virtual-novel.net saw Eloise’s piercing gaze.
“Mrs. Montgomery, why did you hit me?” Madeline tried to keep calm but virtual-novel.net heart was beating fiercely.
“You still have the cheek to ask me why?” Eloise pointed at Madeline furiously. “You kidnapped my grandson with another person and you bullied my precious daughter, Meredith! Now, you’re even inciting another man to make virtual-novel.net side with you. He sent Mer a lawyer’s letter and said virtual-novel.net deliberately assaulted someone with hot coffee!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net threw the letter angrily at Madeline’s face.
“Madeline, you’re such an evil woman! Thank god your parents died early, if not, they’d die from shame! If you’re my daughter, I would have kicked you out of the family!”
As Madeline heard Eloise yelling at her, each one of virtual-novel.net words stabbed in virtual-novel.net heart like shards of glass.
She understood now. Eloise came all the way here to vent for virtual-novel.net precious daughter, Meredith.
Heh.
What a great mother. She did not know the truth nor what happened. However, mothers would always believe their children unconditionally, right?
Madeline felt tears sting the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes. She felt as if virtual-novel.net heart had been clenched by an invisible hand. She felt so horrible that it hurt when virtual-novel.net breathed.
“Madeline, I’m warning you, don’t think you can go anything just because you have people backing you up! I’ll do double to you what you did to Mer and my grandson!”
Eloise pointed at Madeline with virtual-novel.net warning. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around with a dark expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“I thought they just have the same name, but I didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to be that Madeline Crawford.”
“She’s the one who stole virtual-novel.net boyfriend and caused virtual-novel.net sister to miscarry.”
“Tch, are we going to work with someone like this from now on?”
Madeline could hear virtual-novel.net colleagues gossiping about her. She stood at the door of the office. She felt so embarrassed virtual-novel.net did not know where virtual-novel.net should go.
Why was virtual-novel.net life so difficult?
She was so tired.
She wanted to have parents as well so that virtual-novel.net could lean on them when virtual-novel.net was sad and vulnerable.
However, aside from virtual-novel.net sickness and infamy, virtual-novel.net had nothing.
Tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks quietly as virtual-novel.net bent down to pick up the letter. She did not expect Felipe to really sue Meredith.
It was fine. She did assault them. Felipe did nothing wrong.
…
A good deed goes unnoticed, but a scandal spreads fast.
Madeline was like a joke during this entire afternoon. People from other departments kept dropping by to look at her. They wanted to see what a vile and plagiarizing twit-face looked like.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net would not have the chance to get involved with Elizabeth’s project since everyone refused to trust her. However, Elizabeth said righteously, “Everyone makes mistakes. It’s fine if you’re willing to change. This project is very important, so everyone has to work together.”
She purposely walked to Madeline’s side and encouraged her. “Madeline, do your best. Don’t disappoint me.”
Even though Madeline was curious about Elizabeth’s sudden change toward her, when it came to work, virtual-novel.net would not dare to be negligent.
Her colleagues’ attitude toward virtual-novel.net changed slightly as well. Madeline knew they were just doing this for the sake of Elizabeth. However, no matter what it was, life still goes on and virtual-novel.net had to be serious about virtual-novel.net work. Besides, Madeline was fond of this job.
It was time to get off work and virtual-novel.net colleagues started packing to go home. Madeline took a sip of water and continued virtual-novel.net work.
Elizabeth walked out of virtual-novel.net office and saw Madeline still here. “You’re not going home?”
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head. “I want to finish the draft for the bracelet.”
“You can finish it at home. It’s pointless to pretend to be hardworking here,” Elizabeth said coldly and rolled virtual-novel.net eyes.
