Chapter 452

Jeremy never loved her. Not even a little bit.

When she was exposed for pretending to be the little girl back then, she was nothing to Jeremy. She was not even a stranger anymore despite them having a son together.

“You look like you know something’s about to happen,” Jeremy said coldly. His tall body approached her as his overbearing aura terrified her.

Meredith shook her head innocently. “Jeremy, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She forced tears to well in her eyes so that she would look extremely aggrieved.

“Jeremy, for the sake of our relationship and for the sake of Jack, can you get me out of here? I was really falsely accused—”

“Heh.”

Before Meredith could finish, she was interrupted by Jeremy’s scoff.

“Do you know why you’re still alive?” he asked all of a sudden.

Meredith looked dumbly at the man who was getting more and more terrifying as each second passed.

“Because I’ve been waiting for Maddie’s answer.”

“…” Meredith widened her eyes in shock as her heartbeat accelerated from terror.

Indeed. Jeremy knew that Vera was Madeline and Madeline was Vera!

He called her Maddie so intimately. His eyes would even soften when someone mentioned her name. It was obvious that his feelings for Madeline were true.

“Maddie told me that she hates me. She hates me for all the things I’ve done to her. She hates that I always listened to your lies and caused her to endure so much pain that was even worse than the last,”

he said while striding forward. His body was emitting a domineering aura that made Meredith so scared that she backed away into the corner of her cell.

Jeremy reached out his hand slowly and grabbed Meredith’s neck.

He wasted no effort in lifting Meredith, and his narrow eyes were filled with a sinister glare.

Meredith lost the ability to breathe. Then, her toes were not touching the floor anymore. She widened her eyes in shock as her face went red. “J-Jeremy, let me off. Please…”

“Let you get away with this? How?”

Jeremy’s fingers tightened their grip as the murderous aura in his eyes got even more intense.

“Do you know I fell in love with Madeline the first time I saw her in university? If you hadn’t appeared and told me that you were the girl I made my promise to back then, I wouldn’t have deliberately ignored her and treated her so coldly!

“Because of that promise, I allowed you to hurt the woman I love most with no restraints. And because of you, I treated my own child as a b*stard child. However, the truth is that you’re nothing. You’re not the girl I promised back then and you’re not the woman I love!”

Jeremy pursed his lips together, his eyes softening.

“Maddie has been the woman I love this entire time. She’s the little girl I met at the beach back then!”

When Meredith heard Jeremy’s firm and resounding statement, her eyes widened.

‘He knows! He knows everything!’

He even guessed that Madeline was the little girl back then!

Meredith felt like she was suffocating. When she thought she was about to pass out, Jeremy let her go.

She fell on the ground heavily. Her body curled up from pain as she coughed violently.

When she felt the strong killing intent oozing from Jeremy, she crawled to his feet. “Jeremy… Cough, cough… I was wrong. I’m begging you, please don’t kill me. I don’t… I don’t want to die… Cough, I-I have a way to make Madeline hate you less. As long as y-you…”

Jeremy towered above her and looked down on her. He spoke slowly, “If you still think that I’ll believe what you say, then you’re extremely stupid.”

“N-No, Jeremy. I really have a way!” Meredith grabbed Jeremy’s pants in fear. “Actually… Actually, the child Madeline had with you is still alive.”
