When Madeline said that, the expressions of those colleagues, including Elizabeth, changed. They were looking at Madeline as if they were looking at something unusual.
“This woman, aren’t you too vicious!” Several female colleagues said contemptuously.
“What kind of bad luck does Meredith have to encounter such a nutjob. She’s always targeting virtual-novel.net everywhere.”
“Exactly. Not only you’ve stolen someone else’s boyfriend, you still went and troubled Meredith, even saying that you’d want to kill her. That’s really sick!”
“We should stay away from her, lest virtual-novel.net goes crazy and implicates us.”
Madeline sat in virtual-novel.net seat silently, listening to the words being deliberately said to her.
She did not speak and just stood up.
Seeing virtual-novel.net move, the female colleagues who had been speaking the truths and lies about virtual-novel.net hurriedly ran away, for fear of what Madeline would do to them.
Madeline found the scene funny. Then, virtual-novel.net headed out.
She went to Felipe and seeing that Madeline had come, Felipe greeted virtual-novel.net and asked virtual-novel.net to take a seat very politely.
He raised his gaze and noticed Madeline’s haggard face and the two deep, red knife marks on virtual-novel.net right cheek. Felipe was shocked.
“What happened?” He asked, out of genuine concern.
Madeline smiled and shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m fine, Mr. Whitman. I came here to tell you that I want to resign.”
“Resign?” Felipe looked at Madeline uncertainly. “Why?”
“I don’t want to affect the operation of the entire department with my presence. Mr. Whitman should have seen some of the negative comments about me recently?”
Hearing what Madeline had said, Felipe looked to have understood something.
“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, for taking care and helping me during this time. I will pack up and leave immediately.”
“Madeline.”
Felipe stopped Madeline who had just turned to leave.
“I believe you, you don’t need to resign.”
Madeline’s footsteps halted, virtual-novel.net eyes warming slightly.
I believe you.
She had been so eager to hear this sentence in the past few years.
She had finally heard it, but it was not from Jeremy’s mouth.
“For the company’s annual meeting this Friday night, you and I will attend it.”
Madeline looked at the man with surprise. The wound on virtual-novel.net face was aching.
What right did virtual-novel.net have to stand beside this outstanding man with this face?
Madeline immediately refused, but Felipe was persistent.
After getting off work, Madeline wrapped virtual-novel.net cheeks tightly with a scarf and did not dare look up at anybody.
It was in a girl’s nature to love beauty. Even though virtual-novel.net had no longer cared for virtual-novel.net appearance early on, yet no girl could ever accept that virtual-novel.net face was disfigured.
Madeline covered virtual-novel.net cheeks and returned to virtual-novel.net residence. As soon as virtual-novel.net was about to enter, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar car parked at the gate.
Her feet seemed to have been filled with lead in that instant and virtual-novel.net could no longer move. Her heartbeat instantly lost its normal frequency, beating restlessly.
The car window lowered, revealing Jeremy’s handsome side profile. Madeline hid behind the pillar in horror, virtual-novel.net face pale.
Thinking of the fluttering white snow the other day, with virtual-novel.net in front of virtual-novel.net like a demon, the scene of virtual-novel.net smashing their own daughter’s ashes, Madeline bit virtual-novel.net lips and virtual-novel.net hands trembled violently.
Now that virtual-novel.net was here again, virtual-novel.net could no longer withstand such torture and injury.
Madeline kept waiting for Jeremy to leave, but virtual-novel.net never left.
As the sky darkened, Madeline finally left after seeing Jeremy answer a call.
