Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1227

Chapter 1227

Madeline smiled. “Did you forget? Back then, Jeremy killed my parents and when that happened, I divorced him. Everyone in Glendale knows about me marrying Ryan later. Do you not know about that?”

“…” Karen was taken aback, then she argued. “Wasn’t that a mission by Interpol? Ryan and you aren’t really husband and wife!”

“Not back then, but now we are,” Madeline answered without a second thought.

Karen looked stunned. She was looking at Madeline dumbfoundedly.

“Eveline, what’s wrong with you? You love Jeremy so much…”

“Yes, I do love him. However, it has been so many years yet how many happy days did I have with him?”

Madeline scoffed and showed her discontentment.

“My parents were killed by him and Lily is mute because of him. Now, he’s even involved in a murder. Plus, the stocks of Montgomery Enterprise were also affected because of him. I’ve had enough.”

“Jeremy didn’t kill anyone! He was framed! Do you not believe him as well?” Karen started to get agitated as she tried to hold Madeline’s hand. She said, “Eveline, you’ve been through so much with Jeremy. You can’t leave him now!”

Madeline pushed Karen’s hand away like she was disgusted with her. Her face was filled with frost.

“So what if I believe him? There’s so much evidence against him, and if he’s captured, his life will be over even if he doesn’t get the death penalty. Why would I want to stay with a man like that? I’ve wasted more than ten years of my life on him. I don’t want to waste any more of my life.”

Her face was frigid as she rejected Karen. Her tone was also emotionless.

“From now on, aside from the three children we have, there’s nothing else between us anymore. It doesn’t matter if he’s dead or alive, or if he’s captured or not. It’s none of my business—”

Slap!

Before Madeline could finish her sentence, Karen slapped her across the face heavily.

Madeline did not feel any pain on her face when she received the slap. On the contrary, her heart was the one in pain.

“Eveline Montgomery, I was wrong about you!”

Karen’s face was filled with disappointment as she berated Madeline.

“I thought I was blind when I misunderstood you and falsely accused you of things you didn’t do, but now, I’m still blind. I seriously thought you were a good daughter-in-law! Eveline, let me tell you, don’t even think about getting custody of the children. They don’t have a cold-blooded mother like you!”
