Chapter 365

“H-How is that possible…” Eloise could not accept what she was hearing from the conversation on the phone.

Meredith’s sinister and malicious words… How she had called Jackson ‘that damned child’…

“No! It’s impossible! That’s not Mer’s voice!” Eloise denied in certainty. “Vera Quinn, how dare you fake evidence?! You must’ve had someone pretend to be Meredith!”

Meredith came back to her senses. She did not expect that when Vera got close to her, she had already started recording.

However, she would not admit to her dirty deeds with just this.

“Mom, you have to believe me. That’s not me. That person in the video is not me!” Meredith denied.

“Jeremy, someone must be trying to harm me. That video must be fake! Why would I want to harm Jack? He’s our flesh and blood!”

Meredith turned around and looked at Madeline with tears in her eyes.

“Vera Quinn, you really can do anything just to get Jeremy. That man has already pointed you out and you still want to twist the truth to blame me. The woman who’s talking in the video isn’t me!”

“I knew you’d say that,” Madeline said calmly, “However, maybe you don’t know about voiceprints that like fingerprints, everyone’s voiceprints are unique. Everything will come to light after we run some tests on the video.”

After Madeline said that, Meredith’s tears stopped. Her jaw dropped, and she had no comebacks.

Voiceprints.

Such a thing existed?

“Run the tests, then! I refuse to believe that Mer would do this kind of thing!” Eloise sided with Meredith until the very end. “Mer, I believe you!’

“…” Meredith was completely stunned. Before this, she was still confident and arrogant, but now, all of those were gone.

Madeline chuckled lightly. “Can’t you see, Mrs. Montgomery? Your precious daughter has such a guilty conscience that she can’t even speak anymore.”

“…” Eloise turned around after she heard that. When she saw Meredith’s pale face, she had a bad feeling in her heart. “Mer…”

“Continue your conversation tomorrow. Meredith Crawford, follow us now.” The police urged. Even though they were at the entrance of the station, the police still produced a pair of handcuffs as a formality. Then, they cuffed Meredith before taking her inside.

Meredith looked as if she had been jolted awake from a dream. She stared straight at the handcuffs while shaking her head violently. “I’m not going to prison! I didn’t do it! I was wrongfully accused!”

“Jeremy, trust me. Vera was the one who framed me! Mom, you have to save me! I didn’t do it!”

“Mer, Mer!” Eloise was frantic, and she immediately called Sean.

Madeline stood where she was calmly and looked at Meredith who was still yelling about her innocence while in handcuffs. There was a pleased smile in her lively and clear eyes.

Meredith was taken to custody quickly as all of the evidence that they gathered were against her.

Even the short man was starting to accuse Meredith of being the true mastermind behind Jackson’s kidnapping.

Eloise refused to believe that her precious daughter was a merciless vile woman who would even harm her own child.

“There must be some misunderstanding! That wh*re Vera must’ve pulled some strings!” Eloise was still insisting that Meredith was innocent. She was sure that Madeline was the one who framed Meredith.

“Sean, Mer is our daughter. We made a mistake when we took home the wrong child back then and caused her to miss out on more than 20 years of motherly and fatherly love. You have to get her out of there no matter what!”

Sean patted Eloise’s shoulder to comfort her. His aged but handsome face was filled with melancholy.

“I’ve asked my friends in the station and they told me there’s irrefutable evidence of this. Mer really premeditated Vera’s murder. She also bribed someone to kidnap Jack.”

Eloise widened her eyes in disbelief. “No, that’s impossible! Our daughter won’t do such a thing!”

“Maybe it’s our fault.” Sean blamed himself. “If Mer had grown up next to us in the past 20 years, she wouldn’t have wandered onto the wrong path. Her adoptive mother kidnapped Vera before and caused Mer to suffer so much. Perhaps this time, it was her idea as well.”
