Chapter 574

The old master’s wounds had been dressed. When he saw Yvonne, he widened his eyes and started moaning and groaning.

He wanted to say something, but no words came out.

When Yvonne saw the old master’s reaction, she started crying thief and pushed all the blame to Madeline who was standing at one side. “Uncle Winston, Aunty Karen, look! Grandpa is so emotional when he sees Madeline. She must be the one who abused him! Grandpa is so pitiful!”

Winston was immediately instigated. “Madeline, I’ll find the proof and send you to the police station myself!”

Madeline smiled magnanimously. “I think I’ll find the proof even faster to prove my innocence.”

“I’ll also prove that my wife is innocent.” Jeremy stopped the car and came over. He was still supporting Madeline.

“Jeremy, if you continue getting fooled by this woman, our family will be destroyed!” Winston boomed as he pushed the old master back into his room.

Karen purposely let out a loud sigh. “Jeremy, if you don’t want your grandpa to die under mysterious circumstances, then you should cut all ties with this woman soon!”

“Jeremy, Uncle Winston and Aunty Karen are…”

Yvonne wanted to chime in, but halfway through her sentence, she felt a chill down her spine.

She saw Jeremy’s icy gaze and did not dare to say anything. As such, she turned around and ran away.

Madeline looked at their backs and said slowly, “Do you really believe that I didn’t do it?”

Jeremy’s expression changed after he heard that. “Linnie, what are you talking about? Do I still have a reason to not believe you until this day?” he questioned, his eyes full of emotions. “I trust you. Even if you’re lying, I’ll still trust you.”

After he finished saying that, Madeline curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

Two days later, an article appeared online.

It was about Miss Eveline Montgomery, AKA Madeline Crawford who married Jeremy Whitman back then. She was brazenly abusing Old Master Whitman and the degree of what she did was horrifying.

There was even a report of the old master’s wounds attached to the article.

There was a comment down the article that was pouring fuel to the flame. It said that Madeline was doing that for revenge. She wanted to avenge the Whitmans and the old master for forcing her to marry Jeremy back then.

After the appearance of this article, Madeline was successfully trending again.

Madeline’s popularity before this had been soaring due to the jewelry design competition, but after this, she was at the bottom.

Gossip was a fearful thing, and it was able to kill someone with no form.

After Jeremy saw this, he hired someone to get rid of the article from the trending page.

Back then, he could take care of this with just a phone call. However, the other party was asking for money from him now.

In order to stop Madeline from receiving hate comments and harassment, Jeremy was willing to pay as much money as they wanted. Even though the article had been taken down, it had already caused a great impact on Madeline’s reputation.

However, before this could blow over, new wounds were being found on the old master’s body.

Winston was so mad that he called the cops. The cops got here soon enough. Winston and the two women then accused Madeline of abusing the old master.

The police looked at OId Master Whitman’s wounds and confirmed that they were pretty severe. As such, they decided to take Madeline back to the station for further investigation.

Yvonne was standing at one side. She was so happy that flowers started blooming in her heart.

‘Well done! I can finally get rid of this eyesore!’

However, when the handcuffs almost touched Madeline’s wrists, she suddenly said, “Wait.”

“Don’t touch my wife.” Almost in unison, Jeremy’s voice came from the door at the same time.
