Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 68

The air in the car plunged into sudden silence. Madeline laughed bitterly in exhaustion.

“Jeremy, even if you don’t believe me, what about Grandpa? He’s a wise man with a lot of experience

in life. If I’m such a battered person, then why did he agree to let me marry you? Why would he take

care of me and give Meredith the cold shoulder?”

She thought Jeremy would ponder about this, but the moment she stopped talking, he laughed.

“You know clearly why you got to marry me and why Meredith gets the cold shoulder from Grandpa.”

He was obviously saying that Madeline was secretly inciting disharmony between Old Master Whitman

and Meredith.

However, he never thought about how a woman like Meredith who willingly became a mistress was

already problematic.

“Madeline, stop acting. I’m going to take you to see Grandpa now. I’ll let him see your true self.”

Madeline smiled bitterly. She did not want to explain herself anymore.

Her existence had become a lie that was wicked beyond redemption.

Madeline was brought back to Whitman Manor by Jeremy, and she was forced to go into the living

room with him.

Old Master Whitman was sitting upright and still in front of them. His face looked solemn.

Meredith sat at one side tearfully while Jeremy’s mother was comforting her considerately.

When Jeremy’s mother saw Madeline, she stood up and pointed at her.

“Madeline, how can a b*tch like you be so cruel? You could even sink your claws into such a young

child. What did Meredith do to you? Why did you do that to her?”

Jeremy’s mother pointed at Madeline and started yelling.

“Three years ago, you stole Mer’s boyfriend with such heinous tactics and now you’re doing this to her

child. You’re such a terrifyingly cruel woman!”

As she said that, she lifted her hand and waved it down on Meredith’s face.

“Stop.”

Madeline thought she was unable to avoid the slap. However, at this moment, she heard the old

master’s voice.

She saw the smirk on Madeline’s face vanishing. It was as if she did not expect the old master to side

with Madeline at this moment.

Madeline did not expect this as well.

“Dad, you’re still helping this woman? Even an outsider won’t be able to stand what she has done!”

Jeremy’s mother felt agitated. “If it wasn’t for this b*tch, Mer would have been your granddaughter-in-

law. She even gave us a grandchild and yet, she has to suffer all kinds of grievances. You have to

stand up for her!”

After she said that, Meredith raised the volume of her sobbing. Then, she wiped away her tears softly.

“Old Master Whitman, I don’t have the wishful thinking of being your granddaughter-in-law. I gave birth

to that child willingly for Jeremy. I don’t want to split hairs with Maddie. I just hope that you can tell

Maddie to stop hurting your great-grandson.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

What an awe-inspiring speech. Jeremy’s mother was on the brink of tears from feeling so sorry for

Meredith.

Madeline wanted to laugh. She looked at Jeremy and saw that he was looking at her.

When her eyes met his, Madeline averted her gaze quickly. Then, she heard the old master grunting.

“Great-grandson?” The old master’s words sounded sarcastic. “I’ll only recognize the great-grandson

who Maddie gives birth to. She’s the daughter-in-law who has legally wedded into this family.”

When he said that, the air in the room froze.

No one expected the old master to say something like this.
