Chapter 320

Eloise had always been willing to do anything for her daughter, but she felt even more distressed when Meredith said this.

“Meredith, don’t worry. Your mother will never allow you to be bullied so simply! I want everyone here today to take a clear look at Young Master Whitman who’s the richest and most powerful man in Glendale but truly an indifferent scumbag. And this one named Vera Quinn who’s also a despicable and shameless vixen!”

Gasp!

The guests were all shocked to hear Eloise’s words.

Hearing this, it seemed that Vera Quinn was meddling in between Jeremy and Meredith’s relationship, causing Meredith to be abandoned.

“Mom, don’t say it, don’t say it! It’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Jeremy and Miss Vera. Let’s go!” Meredith burst into tears, her weak and weeping appearance looking pitiful.

Many people had begun to side with her. After all, they knew little about the history of the relationship between Meredith and Jeremy while Vera looked like a third party.

Most of the guests gradually felt distressed for Meredith and cast their contempt and disgust at Madeline.

Jeremy observed the change in the atmosphere around him. He looked back, looking at Madeline with concern.

“Are you all right?” He raised his hand and brushed her cheek lightly with his fingers.

Madeline smiled gracefully and calmly. “How could I not be fine just because of this slap? I’m not that weak.” She smiled, looking at Eloise and Meredith, and at the same time, feeling the others’

contemptuous gazes on her whole body.

“Mrs. Montgomery, everyone has to be responsible for what they do and say. You’ve hit me in front of so many people for no reason and you also called me as a vixen. Shouldn’t you give a reasonable explanation?”

She smiled lightly, her proud eyes sweeping across the hostile and questioning eyes around her while her tone changed. “The most annoying thing in my life has been being accused wrongly.”

She uttered the last few words very profoundly.

“Accused wrongly?” Eloise smiled contemptuously. “Have I wronged you? You are a vixen! And you’re cruel, mean, and shameless!”

“Mom, don’t speak anymore. Let’s go. We really can’t afford to provoke this young lady. I don’t want to suffer from a disaster like before. When I close my eyes now and think of it, they had each bullied me one by one. I’m so sad…” Meredith cried and stopped in her speech, but she was smiling in her heart while hoping that Eloise would continue to make things worse.

Eloise became even more distressed and hugged Meredith tightly, patting her back and comforting her.

Hearing Meredith’s words that were laced with implication, the people around them began to feel dissatisfied.

“It seems that the previous rumors about Meredith being bullied by several men by turns were true. If that’s the case, then she is really miserable.”

“Listen to Meredith’s implication. Did Vera ask someone to do it?”

“It must be. I didn’t expect this Vera to have the beauty of a goddess but a poisonous heart. She is really vicious!”

“Not to mention how Young Master Whitman would abandon Meredith for this kind of woman.”

There was a lot of discussion going around. Meredith leaned in Eloise’s arms and cried while laughing secretly. She was going to ruin Vera here today! She was going to take her revenge!

However, at this moment, she felt a cold current around her.

“I’ve said not to mention the matter again. Why are you still bringing it up on this occasion?” Jeremy’s voice reached her ears coldly.

Meredith’s heart trembled and she was a little scared.

“Jeremy, are you blaming Meredith? How can you actually say this? Things have already reached this point and yet you still defend this vixen! If it wasn’t for the vixen’s plan, how could Meredith have been bullied? Meredith is obviously a victim. Not only do you not feel sorry for her and refuse to seek justice for her, but you’re still protecting this witch!”

Eloise glared at Jeremy angrily, disappointment and resentment clear in her gaze.

“What a waste of Meredith’s love for you! Jeremy, where is your conscience?”

Jeremy’s brows furrowed. His handsome face was already covered with frost and there was a stream of coldness shooting out from his eyes. “This matter has nothing to do with Vera, so don’t put any unnecessary charges on her head,” he spoke with a cold tone. Glancing at Meredith who was full of grievances and tears, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

“I’ll say it again, this matter ends here. No one is allowed to mention it again.”

“Jeremy, what are you doing? How can you treat Meredith like this? This vixen really instigated the matter, so how can I just let it go? I’ll call the police and have her arrested now! I’ll let her pay the tragic price!”

Mrs. Whitman rushed forward, defending Meredith righteously. “Vera, you can’t just forget it!”

“Yes, you really can’t do that.”

After a long silence, Madeline opened her mouth. She met those scornful eyes and looked at Jeremy distressedly.

“Jeremy, I really don’t want so many people to be fooled by Meredith and I don’t want you to be accused of being a scumbag because of a woman like her, so I’ll have to violate my agreement with you and speak the truth of this matter.”
