Chapter 360
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
She was so impressed with her decisiveness.
Indeed, the best ending would be Vera dying.
If not, Jeremy would never return to her as long as this woman was alive.
Jeremy looked for her along the steep incline. However, he could not pinpoint where Madeline had fallen from.
He felt as if he was going insane. He could not focus. He could not think nor deduce.
It was as if the rain was falling straight into his heart, interfering with his emotions.
The more time had passed, the more danger she would be in.
Jeremy went back to where Meredith was. His handsome face was drenched with rainwater and it was filled with coldness.
At this moment, Meredith got out of a car. Eloise had arrived unbeknownst to him. She hurried out of the car to hold the umbrella for Meredith.
Meredith ran in front of Jeremy and asked, her voice all choked up from crying, âJeremy, have you found Jackâs body?â
Jeremyâs eyes darkened. There was a fit of intense anger in his eyes. âBody? How are you so sure that Jacksonâs dead?â
âV-Vera was the one who admitted this! She told me that she wanted to kill me and Jack so that sheâll be able to have you all to herself,â Meredith said confidently, âI didnât expect her to be so vicious.
However, perhaps she has to suffer the consequences of her bad deeds, so thatâs why she fell.â
âJeremy, are you happy now? You killed your own son for a heartless wh*re!â Eloise accused Jeremy with her eyes red from crying. âMy poor nephew. Heâs just five and heâs been killed. Jackâ¦â
Jeremy scanned Eloiseâs face with a grim expression on his face. Then, he looked at Meredithâs devastated face. âDo you think that Iâll still believe your one-sided story?â
ââ¦â Meredith stopped crying as she lifted her stumped face.
Eloise was livid. âJeremy! Youâre too much! How can you say that to Mer?! Do you think Merâs the one who killed Jack?â
Meredithâs heartbeat accelerated as she cursed in her heart.
She was indeed the one who killed him.
When she thought about that in secret, Meredith received a bone-chilling gaze from Jeremy.
âTell me. Where did Vera fall from?â he asked furiously. The patience in his eyes was diminishing gradually.
âJeremy, y-youâre still concerned about that wh*re at this moment!â
âShut up, Iâm not talking to you!â Jeremyâs eyes were icy. The brutality in his eyes was getting more and more intense. âIf Vera is hurt in any way, Iâll make you sure you get back whatâs coming for you twice as much!â
âWhatâ¦
âJeremy! Jeremy, are you insane?â Meredith could not handle this anymore. âYouâre ignoring our childâs safety for the sake of a wh*re who stuck her foot into our relationship! Youâre so concerned about a Jezebel who is scheming to seduce you! She killed our son! Vera Quinn is a vile rat out-and-out!â
âDaddy.â
Suddenly, a childish but deep voice called out amidst Meredithâs emotional rant.
Meredith widened her eyes in shock. She looked at the person who appeared in front of her eyes in disbelief.
Jackson!
He was fine!
âJack!â Eloise started crying in happiness. âJack, youâre fine! Thank God!â
Jeremy narrowed her eyes and looked at the tiny figure in the rain.
Jacksonâs clothes were drenched and his face was pale. There was a calmness on his doll-like face.
However, there was a hint of worry and disturbance in his huge eyes.
Jeremy strode over to him and squatted. âJackson, youâre fine.â
When he looked into his fatherâs narrow eyes, Jackson said, âPlease save Vera.â
Jeremyâs eyes lit up. âYou know where Vera is?â
Jackson nodded. He looked at Meredith who was looking frantic at one side. âI saw Mommy pushing Vera down the incline with my own two eyes.â
