Chapter 525

The sudden change in Yvonne’s behavior reminded Madeline of Meredith.

She vaguely noticed something, then heard familiar footsteps behind her.

“Cousin Jeremy, you came just in time. I happened to bump into Vera just now, but she suddenly scolded me and even pushed me to the ground. It hurts, boo-hoo…”

Tsk.

Sure enough, Yvonne’s sudden change in behavior was because Jeremy was here.

This was similar to the two-faced drama that was still fresh in Madeline’s memory.

Meredith used to play such tricks repeatedly in front of Jeremy. What made her bitterly disheartened was that Jeremy chose to believe Meredith time and time again.

At this moment, Madeline already did not look forward to Jeremy’s opinion.

It did not matter to her whether he believed or not.

“Cousin Jeremy, my foot seems to be twisted. It hurts and I can’t stand up. Can you help me up?”

Yvonne stretched out her hand to Jeremy pitifully with expectant eyes.

Just when Madeline thought that Jeremy would definitely help his little cousin up, the man turned a blind eye and walked straight toward Madeline. His low and gravelly voice was soft as he said, “Linnie, it’s windy and cold here. Do you want to go upstairs?”

Yvonne’s expression instantly changed. She was a little frustrated. “Cousin Jeremy, this woman and another man teamed up to bring down your career that you had worked so hard to build. She made Aunty so angry till she couldn’t eat and she just pushed me down so viciously. Why do you still care about whether she’s cold?”

Jeremy’s gaze sank a little, a cold light appearing in his eyes. “Don’t perform these cheap two-faced tricks in front of me. Do you think I’ll believe what you said?”

“…” Yvonne’s face reddened awkwardly, but she still wanted to argue. “Cousin Jeremy, what… What I said is true. This woman really pushed me!”

“My wife won’t bother with a person like you. Push you? She only thinks it’ll make her hands dirty.”

When Madeline heard Jeremy calling her his wife, she was a bit surprised, but she did not want to argue with Jeremy at the moment.

“…” Yvonne also did not expect Jeremy to give such an answer. She opened her mouth but was speechless. She then quickly stood up and squeezed out some tears more aggrievedly. “Cousin Jeremy, I didn’t lie. She really pushed me! She’s an evil woman. She always has been!”

Madeline found it meaningless to argue, but she also did not want to let Yvonne slander her. She smiled a little and opened her lips widely. “Yes, I’m an evil woman and also a very scheming woman.

That’s why before I had gotten out of the car, I purposely turned on the camera function on my phone.

Now, do you want to see who’s trying to push who?”

“…” Yvonne sized up Madeline suspiciously. “You… You recorded it?”

“Why? You don’t believe it? Then I’ll play it for you now to admire your buffoonery just now.” As Madeline said this, she made an action of unlocking her phone.

“You… Who knew you’re so insidious!” Yvonne bit her lip and looked at Jeremy with sparkling eyes.

“Cousin Jeremy, Aunty is still waiting for me. I… I’ll go up first!”

Madeline laughed softly upon seeing this. “I didn’t even record anything but your reaction has already told the truth.”

“…” Yvonne did not expect to be set up by Madeline. She had no choice but to hold back the surge of anger and leave resentfully.

Madeline squinted at Yvonne’s frame, feeling ridiculous. She turned to see Jeremy’s deep gaze staring at her closely. There was a bit of interest in his gaze and also a touch of appreciation that was not there before.

“Linnie, you really grew up a lot.” He suddenly said this.

Madeline laughed a little and said rather sarcastically, “I am how I am today thanks to you and Meredith.”

Speaking of Meredith, Jeremy frowned a little. “Did she hurt you just now?”

“After going through your and Meredith’s ‘training’, I’m no longer the fool who everyone can bully anymore.” Madeline laughed at herself and saw Jeremy’s face sink slightly. “Where’s Jack?”

“He’s asleep. I want to have him stay here tonight.”
