Meredith wanted to reject it, but to keep up virtual-novel.net gentle appearance, virtual-novel.net accepted Madeline’s gift with a smile. “Thank you.”
After that, virtual-novel.net pulled on Jeremy’s sleeve. “Jeremy, let’s go in. We shouldn’t keep the other guests waiting.”
“Indeed, the two of you head inside first.” Eloise and Sean urged, their expressions full of happiness. “Make use of the happy occasion today and quickly set a date for your marriage.”
Meredith smiled shyly at Jeremy. “Jeremy, I can finally marry you and become your bride.”
Looking at Meredith’s smiling face, Madeline shot them a gentle smile as well.
As they returned to the garden, quite a few gazes fell onto Madeline, all of them trying to guess virtual-novel.net status and origin.
Sensing all their attention on Madeline, Meredith started to get unhappy.
Seeing that Jeremy did not seem to be willing to propose today, Meredith had an unsettled feeling. It would be quite embarrassing if it did not come to pass today.
With that in mind, virtual-novel.net turned to Eloise and Sean before saying, “Mom, Dad, I’m feeling a bit unwell. I want to go back to my room to rest.”
Eloise and Sean walked over, full of concern for her. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”
“I’m okay. Could the two of you take care of the guests?” Meredith smiled gently. “Jeremy, could you accompany me back to my room?”
Jeremy did not agree immediately. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline. “Miss Vera, please make yourself at home. I have something to see you about later.”
Madeline smiled and nodded.
Staring at that scene, Meredith turned around and headed inside with a dark look on virtual-novel.net face.
Looking at the retreating backs, Madeline calmly made a move as well.
No one minded her, and even virtual-novel.net own parents did not spare virtual-novel.net a glance.
Madeline walked through the luxurious courtyard alone, admiring the scenery around the villa as virtual-novel.net stepped on the pavement.
Even if it was not the greatest of mansions, it was still significantly luxurious and splendid.
If it was not for the mistake that happened over 20 years ago, this would have been the garden where virtual-novel.net grew up in.
Madeline did not know how virtual-novel.net was lost all those years ago but wondered if it was just virtual-novel.net fate.
However, virtual-novel.net knew very clearly what virtual-novel.net goal was today.
She walked for a while, then slipped into the house when no one was paying attention to her.
The moment virtual-novel.net stepped inside, Madeline could hear the chilling sounds of a crying woman.
Madeline was once on the brink of death herself, so virtual-novel.net did not carry a shred of fear in her, only curiosity. She wondered why someone was hiding in the corner, crying away at this time.
Following the voice, virtual-novel.net spotted a middle-aged woman wiping away virtual-novel.net tears in the corner. In virtual-novel.net hands was a photograph.
“Brittany, oh my Brit…” The woman continued sobbing.
Brittany?
Madeline immediately thought of Brittany Montgomery.
“Brit, today should have been your birthday, but you were murdered by that despicable woman, Madeline! That woman deserves to die. You were so kind and smart, you shouldn’t have left so early…”
It was Brittany Montgomery.
That woman was certain that Madeline was Brittany’s murderer.
What Madeline could not understand was why virtual-novel.net was sobbing so much for Brittany?
