Chapter 278

“If Madeline is a witch, then what about your precious daughter?” Madeline could not help but snort.

“She worked with an outsider to kidnap her own son and pushed the blame to Madeline. Did you forget about that? In order to make Jeremy hate Madeline, she stole someone’s bracelet and framed her as the thief. Did you also forget about that? Mrs. Montgomery, just ask yourself, who’s the real witch here?”

“You…” Eloise was speechless after she was talked back to like this.

“I didn’t. I didn’t do those things…” Meredith quibbled while crying. She bit her lip aggrievedly, looking extremely pitiful right now. “Vera Quinn, why do you want to slander me? You’ve already successfully incited disharmony between me and Jeremy. Plus, you’ve even disfigured me. Will you only be happy after I’m dead? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’m going to jump now!”

“No, Mer!”

“Mer!”

Eloise and Sean stopped her frantically. However, Madeline only scoffed in disdain.

“Alright, hurry up. Stop dilly-dallying.” Madeline smiled as she looked at the changes in Meredith’s expression. “Meredith, jump. What are you waiting for?”

“You…”

“Do you think I’m as stupid as them? Do you think I can’t tell that you’re just acting? I know you won’t let anything happen to yourself. You’re just waiting for Jeremy so that you can make demands.”

“…”

Meredith did not expect Madeline to know what she was plotting. Her face turned green, then white.

After a moment, the corners of her lips twitched.

When Eloise and Sean saw this, they pushed Madeline violently and angrily. “Vera Quinn, how dare you continue provoking Mer? You’re inhumane!”

Sean was livid, and he lifted his hand to slap Madeline.

However, at this moment, Madeline saw Meredith eyeing Rose. Then, she started sobbing while shouting, “Dad, Mom, just think of me as an unfilial daughter. I’ll see you in my next life!”

“Mer!” In the next second, Rose’s screams broke the silence.

Sean’s slap did not land. He and Eloise turned around at the same time to look in Meredith’s direction.

However, they only saw a white cloth floating away.

Meredith had really jumped!

“Mer!” Eloise and Sean let out blood-curdling screams while running over.

When she saw this, Madeline was just worried if Eloise and Sean would fall as well.

After seeing Meredith eyeing Rose earlier, Madeline was sure that this was only a ruse. That woman would not let herself die so easily.

She was very sure.

However, when she was about to take a look for herself, she heard footsteps behind her.

She turned around and saw Jeremy’s deep eyes.

Suddenly, Rose rushed in front of Jeremy and sobbed, saying, “Jeremy, you’re too late! Meredith jumped! It’s all because of this woman! It’s all because of Vera Quinn! She’s the one who forced her to jump! My Mer! My Meredith!”

Madeline saw Jeremy’s eyes darken as his expression changed. “What did you say? Meredith jumped?”

“It’s all because of this woman!” Rose pointed at Madeline.

Jeremy looked intensely at Madeline who had a calm expression on her face. Then, he averted his gaze and quickly walked over to where Eloise and Sean were standing.
