Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 382
Madeline got out of bed and cleaned herself up. When virtual-novel.net was about to look for Jeremy, virtual-novel.net heard noises from the balcony.
She looked over and saw the man standing there alone. Jeremy’s tall and slender back looked frail.
There was a cigarette between his long fingers. The tip of the cigarette lit up and dimmed simultaneously, looking desolate in the morning sun.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net heard footsteps, so virtual-novel.net turned around and saw Madeline walking toward him. He narrowed his eyes into a grin. “Why don’t you sleep more?”
“I’ll wake up if I get enough sleep.” Madeline smiled. When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy in yesterday’s clothes, virtual-novel.net asked, “You didn’t sleep for the entire night?”
He curled the corner of his lips. His eyes were as dark as night as they were glued on Madeline’s fair and gentle face.
“It’s been difficult for me to fall asleep for the past three years.”
A glint flashed across Madeline’s eyes when virtual-novel.net heard that.
Jeremy extinguished his cigarette and walked in front of her.
The unique smell of tobacco from his body surrounded virtual-novel.net slowly.
“Vera, do you think a person will be forgiven after they apologize for the mistake they made?”
Madeline thought about what happened last night when virtual-novel.net heard that.
That nurse had made virtual-novel.net think about what happened a few years ago.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net did not expect the woman who virtual-novel.net thought to be evil to do something like that in secret. Therefore, that was why virtual-novel.net reckoned that virtual-novel.net was wrong.
Madeline smiled. She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to caress Jeremy’s face in concern. “Jeremy, what’s wrong? Why are you asking that question all of a sudden?”
Jeremy held virtual-novel.net hand that was on his face.
His hand was cold, and the slight temperature in his hand enveloped hers. “You won’t leave me, right?”
“Why would I leave you for no reason?” Madeline asked with a slight smile. “You must be tired from staying awake the entire night. Go have some rest. We need to go to the court later. Meredith’s hearing is today,” Madeline said, turning around after retracting virtual-novel.net hand.
When virtual-novel.net hand left the source of warmth, the faint temperature disappeared as well.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back. The expression in his eyes was getting more and more peculiar.
…
Meredith’s hearing started at ten in the morning.
After a while, Meredith was brought out.
She was wearing a blue and white striped prisoner’s outfit. Despite having tidied herself up, virtual-novel.net still could not hide the freckles and dark circles on virtual-novel.net face.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net looked completely different from the image of a socialite from a wealthy family that virtual-novel.net had built.
Meredith was brought to the dock. When virtual-novel.net saw Sean, virtual-novel.net had already readied virtual-novel.net tears before looking at him. She was curious about why Eloise was absent.
After scanning across the gallery, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy. Meredith started sobbing even harder now.
The lawyer Eloise hired for Meredith was exceptional. After a while, the circumstances were reversed and Meredith was about to be announced as not guilty.
When virtual-novel.net saw this, Meredith used this opportunity to cry out a grievance, “Your Honor, I was wrongfully accused! Someone is framing me!”
She looked at Jeremy after virtual-novel.net said that.
“Jeremy, do you see this? I’m innocent. I never did anything that’ll go against my conscience.”
“Of course, you’ve never done anything that went against your conscience. You don’t even have one anymore.”
Madeline’s cold tone sounded in the court.
Meredith lifted virtual-novel.net gaze and saw Madeline walking over with a powerful aura. She was dressed in a simple yet elegant suit.
Madeline’s appearance quickly trumped how Meredith looked right now.
Meredith gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and clenched virtual-novel.net fists as virtual-novel.net scowled at Madeline.
Madeline walked to the witness stand and bowed to the judge. “Your Honor, I’m the victim of this case, Vera Quinn. I have solid evidence that can prove Meredith Crawford did plan to harm me and virtual-novel.net son, Jackson Whitman.”
