Chapter 14
Madeline was about to be taken away. At this moment, a poised woman walked over to Mrs.
Langford and mumbled something in her ear.
Immediately. Mrs. Langford’s expression changed. She looked at Madeline in disbelief and then said that it was all a misunderstanding.
Madeline did not know what was going on. When she looked at the woman's face, she noticed that she was glaring at her in disgust.
Her eyes made Madeline extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, Meredith walked over.
“Maddie. that’s Jeremy’s mother. It’s fine now. You don't have to go to the station anymore. but you have to promise me not to do something as embarrassing as this again.”
Meredith said in a concerned tone. Madeline tried to explain, but Jeremy’s mother walked away after looking at her in dissatisfaction.
Meredith smirked. She followed after her and stayed by Jeremy's mother’s side. It was as if they were a loving mother and daughter-in-law duo.
Some sniggers sounded in her ears, and there were also some light chuckles.
Mrs. Whitman was someone that unsophisticated to even be involved with theft! It was a colossal joke.
Madeline felt aggrieved and helpless when faced with the suspicious gazes around her. Thus. she turned around and went into the house. Finally, she spotted Jeremy.
However, when Jeremy saw Madeline covered in dust, sloppily dressed, he wore a look of agitation on his face.
“Today is my mother’s birthday. Not only are you late. but you're also wearing this. Plus, you even dared to steal from someone. Are you bored with life?”
He accused in a frigid tone.
Madeline smiled bitterly. She had gone to the hospital because of his rough treatment the night before. Not to mention, she had almost lost their child.
Before she could register the fact about the tumor when she was in the hospital. she had to rush here. To top it off. the moment she stepped foot past the door. she was met with an incident. She did not even have time to dress up.
Madeline looked at the man’s solemn face. “Jeremy. I didn’t steal anything. It’s Meredith...”
