Chapter 1380
“If you think you can help Ryan get away with his crimes like this, then you’re seriously even more naive than my son and daughter.”
A bright and pristine voice sounded suddenly from the noisy crowd.
Jeremy’s racing heart became filled with joy when he heard this voice. He lifted his head and saw Madeline elegantly walking toward him while pushing the crowd away.
The journalists pointed their cameras at Madeline using this opportunity. Then, they started questioning.
“Mrs. Whitman, are you trying to say something on behalf of Mr. Whitman by appearing at this moment?”
“What’s your relationship with Ryan Jones?”
“I heard that your mental state isn’t the best at the moment and someone even said that you’re a half-wit now, so are you—”
“Do you guys think I look like an idiot or a lunatic?” Madeline walked to Jeremy before turning around. Then, she faced the cameras confidently. “I didn’t come here to say anything on anyone’s behalf. I just hope this matter will come to an end soon.”
Madeline lifted her head to look into Jeremy’s eyes. “Jeremy, I know you’re trying to save some dignity for some people, but this should go both ways. Since they don’t want to extend the same courtesy, then why do we need to give ourselves so many grievances? Plus, we can’t let them accuse Grandpa for no reason.”
“Linnie, you’re right. I’ll listen to you.” Jeremy agreed with Madeline and decided to listen to her.
Upon seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Jones arbitrarily asserted that Madeline and Jeremy were purposely making this unnecessarily complicated. “Stop trying to fool the masses with your lies. You’ll never be able to prove your innocence with what happened back then!”
“We don’t have to. What happened back then was just a misunderstanding,” Madeline said calmly and opened the letter in Jeremy’s hand. Then, she showed the letter to Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
Madeline purposely turned her back toward the journalists so that they could not see the contents of the letter.
However, she wanted Mr. and Mrs. Jones to see clearly what was written on there so that they could see that the truth they knew was nothing but a man-made misunderstanding.
