“What?” Karen leaped up abruptly. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Why would I lie to you, Mrs. Whitman?” Meredith frowned, looking aggrieved. “Just look at my face and the wound on my forehead, then you’ll know that I’m telling the truth.”
Karen Leefted virtual-novel.net head to look at Meredith. A second later, virtual-novel.net expression darkened.
“That b*tch! I knew virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be so kind!” Karen was already biased toward Madeline, so virtual-novel.net was easily swayed.
Meredith felt pleased with herself but kept an innocent look on virtual-novel.net face. “Actually, Mrs. Whitman, just think about it. Madeline hates you so much, so why would virtual-novel.net save you? If you were Madeline, would you save a person who’s always going against you?”
Karen stood in Madeline’s shoes, virtual-novel.net face darkening even more. She blurted out before thinking, “If I were Madeline, I wouldn’t save such a horrible mother-in-law!”
“…”
Meredith almost burst out laughing when virtual-novel.net saw Karen scolding herself.
Karen felt awkward for a few seconds. Then, virtual-novel.net started screaming angrily, “I told you that Madeline wanted me dead! How would virtual-novel.net risk virtual-novel.net life to save me? I knew there was an ulterior motive behind this!”
Just earlier, virtual-novel.net had a good impression of Madeline but now, it was completely gone because of Meredith’s instigation.
Meredith knew Karen’s personality well after spending all those years with her. She could take Karen down easily after some gifts and instigation.
Now, it was obvious that this was the case.
After Meredith left, Karen left the house hurriedly. Inside the custodial ward, Karen saw Yvonne who was covered heavily in bandages—including virtual-novel.net face.
“You didn’t want to live your life properly, so you’re the one who did this to yourself!” Karen scolded angrily, “Tell me, did you work with Madeline to kidnap me? She bribed you and was just purposely putting on a show for me, huh? You did that because you hate me!”
Even though Yvonne did not know why Karen was saying that, since virtual-novel.net was already in this state, virtual-novel.net decided to frame Madeline again.
“That’s right, I did work together with her! You dumb*ss! If not, do you think she’d really save you with the ransom? Do you remember virtual-novel.net slapping you that day? Madeline told me herself that virtual-novel.net had so much fun slapping you!”
“You…” Karen was fuming. Then, virtual-novel.net left as Yvonne cackled sinisterly.
After virtual-novel.net got home, Karen threw all of the food virtual-novel.net prepared for Madeline into the trash can.
The maid was confused. She then heard Karen mumbling angrily to herself. “Madeline, you b*tch. I thought you saved me because you care about me. It turns out you’re just using that as an excuse to beat around the bush to prank and slap me!”
Madeline arrived with Jackson when virtual-novel.net heard Karen scolding virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net stepped into the house.
If it were not for Jackson who said that it had been a long time since virtual-novel.net ate dinner with his father, Madeline would not have come over either.
When Karen saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net pointed at virtual-novel.net and shrieked, “Madeline, you’re so heinous! I was almost fooled by you!”
Madeline was puzzled. When virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Jackson walked in front of virtual-novel.net with a frown on his face.
“Granny, you can’t talk about my mommy like that.”
“Am I wrong? Your mother is an evil and heinous low-life!”
Madeline smiled calmly. “The least you can do is tell me what I’ve done if you want to yell at me.”
“You know what you’ve done! Madeline, I’m telling you, don’t even think about getting back with Jeremy as long as I’m around!”
“What nonsense are you spewing again?” Jeremy walked downstairs and looked at Karen in agitation. Then, virtual-novel.net walked to Madeline. “Linnie, you’re here.”
“I’m leaving now.”
Madeline’s straightforward answer caused the light in Jeremy’s eyes to go out.
“Jack will stay and I’ll come to get virtual-novel.net later. I’m not gonna disturb you in case someone loses their appetite from looking at me.”
“Madeline, are you making insinuations at me?” Karen asked furiously.
Madeline ignored virtual-novel.net and walked away.
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Are you happy now that Linnie’s gone?”
