Chapter 309

Meredith looked at Jeremy with her charming almond-shaped eyes that were filled with grievances as she said angrily, “Jeremy, Jack is our precious son. I wouldn’t allow him to be hurt at all as if my life depended on it. How could I have abandoned him?”

Just then, Eloise slowly walked over with Jackson. Her contemptuous gaze was directed at Meredith.

“Miss Quinn, I heard that you’re about to marry Jeremy’s uncle, so why are you still hanging around here all day long with my daughter’s fiancé? Have your parents never told you that it’s shameless for you to do this?”

Faced with Eloise’s sarcasm, Madeline merely gave a tranquil and composed smile. “You’ve asked a good question, Mrs. Montgomery. My parents didn’t teach me this because not long after I was born, they brought someone else’s child home and abandoned their biological daughter due to their moment of negligence.”

When Madeline mentioned her life experience all of a sudden, Jeremy looked at her unexpectedly.

Seeing the elegant smile on her beautiful face, he felt a prick in his heart for some reason.

Eloise and Meredith were respectively taken aback.

‘It’s actually so similar to Madeline’s life experience?’ Meredith thought silently.

However, Eloise was a little lost, and her face no longer carried the contemptuous smile.

Sensing the changes in Eloise’s expression and Meredith’s face, Madeline’s pretty lips twitched.

“Although my biological parents didn’t teach me this, the person who raised me later on did, so now it’s my turn to question you, Mrs. Montgomery. Since you’re so accomplished, why was this daughter of yours brought up to be so despicable, indecent, and so indifferent toward family affection that during a dangerous moment, she would abandon her own son to escape alone? It seems that your upbringing isn’t much better, Mrs. Montgomery.”

“You, what nonsense are you talking about here?!” Eloise said angrily, “You dare slander my daughter like this? You’d better apologize to Meredith immediately. Otherwise, I will have to look into it till the end!”

“Mom…” Meredith’s eyes reddened as tears of grievances started to pool. “Jeremy, did you hear that?

I’ve tolerated this Miss Quinn time and time again, but she provokes and vilifies me non-stop. She continues to slander me to this day. The reason why I have suffered so much harm is all because of her. Why is my life so bitter…”

Listening to Meredith’s crying voice, Eloise comforted her distressingly, then pointed a finger at Madeline.

“Vera Quinn, you planned for my daughter’s humiliation! You shameless woman! You’ll do everything possible to interfere with Jeremy and Meredith’s relationship just to get him, you… “

“The one who has been pestering isn’t Vera. It’s me.”

Suddenly, Jeremy’s low and cold voice interrupted Eloise intensely.

His eyebrows were tightly furrowed while his face was stained with frost.

“This matter ends here. No one is allowed to mention it again.”

“What? This woman asked someone to kidnap Meredith and you just want to forget it?” Of course, Eloise could not accept it. Her eyes were full of anger as she said, “I will never let Meredith be bullied in vain! Meredith, don’t worry. I will definitely seek justice for you!”

Meredith’s eyes flickered. In order to avoid suspicion, she could only continue to play the victim.

“Justice be the will of the people. I believe one day people who have done bad things will be severely punished!”

When she said this, she looked at Madeline firmly.

Madeline opened her mouth meaningfully, “Miss Crawford is right, and I also believe that some people will soon be punished for their evils.”

“…” Meredith was stunned and began to avoid Madeline’s gaze with a guilty conscience.

“Since Jack is okay, then I can rest assured.” Madeline smiled gently and looked at Jackson who had been looking at her. “Goodbye, Jack.”

Jackson looked at her. His big bright eyes were flashing with emotions of wanting to speak, but in the end, he still did not.

“Are you leaving?” Jeremy’s gaze was deep.

“Should I just stay here and continue to be cursed by others, then?” Madeline smiled, feeling that Eloise’s eyes were still full of disgust.

Although she kept telling herself not to care anymore, in the end, Eloise was still her closest relative and she could not completely ignore it.

“I’ll drop you off.” Jeremy offered.

Meredith’s face sank. “Jeremy, Jack and I had just received quite the shock. Are you still going to leave us be?”

“Mr. Whitman, you can stay. Don’t worry about me, an outsider.” Madeline glanced at Jeremy, then turned around freely.

“Hmph, consider her an acquaintance!” Eloise rolled her eyes.

Meredith was also very satisfied, but she was only happy for a few seconds as she soon saw Jeremy quickly walking toward Madeline.

“Jeremy!” she shouted, but Jeremy completely ignored her.
