Her mother…
No, virtual-novel.net was Meredith’s mother.
Madeline laughed at herself mockingly, virtual-novel.net mind filled with the scenes of Eloise and Sean slapping virtual-novel.net in the face for the sake of protecting Meredith.
She even remembered that last kick from Sean which caused virtual-novel.net to spit out blood.
They never looked at virtual-novel.net until the end.
Madeline’s grip on the door was extremely tight, and at that moment, Eloise took out virtual-novel.net phone to give Meredith a call.
“Mer, you can come out now. I’ll bring you for a spa session later, then we can look for something to wear. It’s your birthday tomorrow, and Jeremy will propose to you as well. I want to make sure you’ll look the prettiest you can be. I’ll turn you into the most dazzling princess in the world. Dear, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”
Princess? Precious daughter?
Ah.
Madeline wanted to laugh hearing all that. She no longer wanted to continue listening.
She turned around, but virtual-novel.net did not see that one of virtual-novel.net employees was carrying coffee and snacks over.
With a clank, the cups and tray all fell to the floor.
“I’m so sorry, Miss Vera, so sorry!” The employee frantically apologized.
Madeline knew virtual-novel.net was the one at fault for being distracted, so virtual-novel.net consoled virtual-novel.net and said, “No need to apologize. It’s not your fault.”
The moment virtual-novel.net finished saying that, virtual-novel.net saw that Eloise had walked out.
“What happened?” Eloise asked curiously, lifting virtual-novel.net gaze to look at Madeline who was standing by the door. “You are—”
“This is our store manager, Miss Quinn.” The staff member explained briefly.
Madeline’s back was turned toward Eloise, virtual-novel.net softly said, “I’m terribly sorry. I have an important matter to attend to. All of you make sure you treat our customers well. I’m heading off.”
After leaving, Madeline’s thoughts were still on Eloise and Meredith’s call earlier.
Looking at the cars coming and going in the bustling city, a deep smile presented itself on virtual-novel.net face.
Thanks to Meredith’s current status, virtual-novel.net birthday celebration was going to be very grand and plenty of influential, rich people were invited.
After all, Meredith wanted to use public pressure to force Jeremy to propose to virtual-novel.net on that day.
Meredith spent the whole morning putting on virtual-novel.net custom-made gown and fixing virtual-novel.net makeup as virtual-novel.net put on virtual-novel.net luxury branded jewelry. She wanted to make sure that virtual-novel.net entire being would look immaculate tonight.
She stood at the balcony as virtual-novel.net looked down on the guests who were conversing with each other. From virtual-novel.net high vantage point, virtual-novel.net immediately spotted Jeremy’s car stopping in front of the main gate. She hurried down to receive him.
She had thought that since it was a special day, Jeremy would have formal attire on, but disappointingly, virtual-novel.net only had casual wear on.
Even so, virtual-novel.net was still unrivaled when it came to looks.
Meredith was a little unhappy, but virtual-novel.net still went to receive virtual-novel.net with a bright smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Jeremy, you’re here,” virtual-novel.net said, “Jeremy, do you know? As long as I see you, I’ll be exceptionally happy.”
“As long as you’re happy,” Jeremy replied coolly.
Meredith felt like there was a hidden meaning to his words, but virtual-novel.net did not dare press the matter.
She followed Jeremy into the garden as a tall, seven-layered cake was pushed out. The cake was beautiful beyond compare, and on top of it were the figures of a newlywed couple.
The crowd surrounded them as Eloise and Sean gave virtual-novel.net a push. “Jeremy, my precious daughter has been waiting for you to propose for so long. Shouldn’t you finally make a move?”
“Jeremy, it’s Meredith’s birthday today. Why don’t you make use of this happy occasion to propose?”
“Propose! Propose!” the crowd started to chant as well.
Meredith looked at Jeremy with an embarrassed face. “Jeremy…”
Right as virtual-novel.net spoke, a melodious and graceful female voice could be heard in the distance.
“Miss Montgomery’s birthday really is quite sensational. There’s even a proposal going on? It looks like I didn’t come here tonight for naught.”
