Meredith returned to the Montgomery household with a belly full of anger. Seeing virtual-novel.net return, the housekeeper poured virtual-novel.net a cup of tea and brought virtual-novel.net a plate of snacks.
“What’s wrong, Miss Meredith? Here, have some fruits to chase away the anger.” The housekeeper fawned over virtual-novel.net smilingly.
“Who are you to poke your nose into my business?” Meredith rolled virtual-novel.net eyes, displeased. “Where’s my mother?”
The sound of a car drifted in from the door after virtual-novel.net asked, and the housekeeper shot a gaze toward the door. “I believe Madam is back.”
With that, Meredith immediately stood. “Tell my mother I’m in my room when virtual-novel.net asks.”
Giving the order, virtual-novel.net picked up virtual-novel.net bag and rushed up the stairs.
The housekeeper acknowledged and stared at Meredith’s retreating figure with hatred in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“You’re Brittany’s indirect killer, Meredith Crawford! Brit would still be living happily and easily as the oldest daughter had you not suddenly appeared and stole virtual-novel.net spot!”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net sensed Eloise’ steps approaching.
“Where’s Meredith, Diana? Is virtual-novel.net back yet?” Eloise’s voice drifted over.
While the housekeeper was around Eloise’s age, virtual-novel.net was no match for the other in terms of physique or temperament.
Turning around to face Eloise, virtual-novel.net replied respectfully, “Miss Meredith has just returned. She should be in virtual-novel.net room.”
Eloise nodded and turned to walk up the stairs with a smile.
“Look what Mom got you, Meredith? Only my daughter is worthy of such beautiful jewelry in all of Glendale. With this, I’m sure you’ll become the center of everyone’s attention during the Whitman Corporation’s 50th anniversary celebration.”
Eloise spoke while virtual-novel.net walked into Meredith’s room. Stepping inside, virtual-novel.net dropped the jewelry box in shock at the scene within the room.
“Meredith! What are you doing?” Eloise rushed forward to take the fruit knife away from Meredith. “What happened, Meredith? Who bullied you? Tell Mom. I’ll never let anyone harm my precious daughter!”
Eloise’s heart raced in worry and fear as virtual-novel.net pulled a ‘suicidal’ Meredith into virtual-novel.net arms.
She had lost virtual-novel.net precious daughter once already 20 years ago, and virtual-novel.net refused to lose this precious child again.
Meredith leaned sorrowfully into Eloise’s chest, trying virtual-novel.net best to squeeze tears from virtual-novel.net eyes. “It hurts, Mom. I’m so tired… Why is my relationship with Jeremy so difficult? It used to be Madeline, now there’s a Vera Quinn too. I…”
“Vera Quinn?”
Eloise’s mind supplied virtual-novel.net with a face of a woman who looked exactly like Madeline.
“What did that woman do to you?”
“She humiliated me in public, made fun of me, and mocked how Jeremy would never marry a woman like me. She’s always with Jeremy, even using Jack to get closer to him. I think Jeremy has feelings for virtual-novel.net too…”
She lifted virtual-novel.net eyes that had gone red from all the tears. “My feelings for Jeremy are too deep, Mom. I fell for virtual-novel.net the moment I saw virtual-novel.net when we were kids. I really can’t live without him. I’d rather die if it means that I can’t be with him…”
“Don’t think that, silly child. It won’t be the end of the world! Mom can’t lose you again!” Eloise comforted virtual-novel.net daughter with distress as virtual-novel.net eyes darkened. “Vera Quinn is just a shameless b*tch. I can’t believe she’d seduce Jeremy even when virtual-novel.net already has a fiancée. Don’t worry, Meredith, your mom will get virtual-novel.net back for you!”
“No, Mom. Don’t go.” Meredith quickly pulled Eloise back.
“I can’t just sit and watch when others bully you like this, Meredith. You can’t be too kind. Kindness will only make the bullying worse.”
“I know you love me, Mom. But she’ll definitely tell Jeremy if you bother virtual-novel.net and I don’t want Jeremy to be sad.”
Meredith wiped off a tear as virtual-novel.net grasped Eloise’s hand in hers.
“I have another way to get Jeremy’s heart back, Mom. Will you help me?”
There was no way Eloise would reject virtual-novel.net daughter. “Tell me, Meredith. What’s your plan? Mom would do anything to make you happy.”
