With questions tailing her, Madeline had to stop. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net merely smiled calmly and magnanimously and then spoke to the camera.
“In recent years, you’ve seen a lot of melodrama and even unbelievable news about me and my husband, but what happened in the end?”
Madeline asked with a small smile.
“It should be very clear to all of you, isn’t it?”
The reporters looked at each other tactfully, and one of them asked, “Mrs. Whitman, are you saying that the woman deliberately came here to cause trouble and discredit Mr. Whitman and that in fact, nothing happened between Mr. Whitman and her?”
Upon hearing this reporter’s words, Madeline was slightly startled for two seconds.
She was not good at lying, and the memory of what happened between Jeremy and the maid was indeed playing in virtual-novel.net head.
“Mrs. Whitman, why are you not answering?”
“Could it be true that the woman actually slit virtual-novel.net wrist to commit suicide? It didn’t seem like acting. Who would risk their life to put up an act?”
The reporter tentatively asked Madeline again.
Madeline immediately came back to virtual-novel.net senses. “You’ll need to take legal responsibility for defamation. I’m already making myself very clear now, aren’t I?”
“…”
Upon hearing Madeline’s words, the reporters did not dare to continue asking. No one dared to go up to stop virtual-novel.net when they saw virtual-novel.net turning around coolly.
After returning to the office, Madeline changed into the spare set of clothes virtual-novel.net had in the room.
As soon as virtual-novel.net came out after changing virtual-novel.net clothes, virtual-novel.net heard the ringing of a specific ringtone.
Jeremy was calling her. Although it was a nice melody, Madeline felt inexplicably agitated when virtual-novel.net heard it. Madeline picked up the phone and swiped the answer button. Soon after, Jeremy’s low and gentle voice, laced with worry and anxiety, could be heard.
“Linnie, is something wrong with the company?” virtual-novel.net asked. “Someone called me just now, and I also saw some news on the Internet. The maid…”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded in response. “She found us and said that virtual-novel.net wanted you to be responsible for her. She had also made a fuss downstairs in the company. She slit virtual-novel.net wrist and committed suicide in front of many onlookers.”
“Suicide by slitting virtual-novel.net wrist?” Jeremy was surprised. “Linnie, wait for me. I’ll come over to you now.”
“Don’t,” Madeline refused. “You’re still recuperating from your leg injury. Don’t run around any further. I’ll go back soon. Don’t worry about me.” Madeline said gently.
“Jeremy, leave this to me. Just get better and don’t worry. Be a good boy.”
After Madeline said that, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone. She knew Jeremy must be very worried, but virtual-novel.net was also worried about him. He had a gunshot wound on his leg, virtual-novel.net could not run around during this period.
Madeline grabbed virtual-novel.net bag to head out. Expecting there to be a lot of reporters and onlookers downstairs, virtual-novel.net went straight to the basement and drove out in virtual-novel.net car. She found out which hospital Hannah was in, and then virtual-novel.net immediately went over.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at the hospital, Madeline found the doctor who treated Hannah. The doctor told Madeline that Hannah was stable and that virtual-novel.net life was not in danger. Presently, Hannah was lying in bed.
