Madeline and Jeremy stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Hannah’s eyes were full of grievances, and her beautiful face was unyielding.
“Mr. Whitman, you have agreed that I’ll live in your house and that you’ll be responsible for me, but you still stay with Eveline every day. How are you going to help me settle down?”
Hannah asked very bluntly, but when she asked that question, it made her seem ignorant and simplistic.
However, how simplistic could a person, willing to be used by Carter to achieve her goals, be?
After hearing this, Jeremy evidently did not want to bother explaining to Hannah. His arms around Madeline’s shoulder tightened slightly as he lowered his gaze and whispered to Madeline.
“Linnie, let’s not allow irrelevant people to affect our mood,” he said softly, his eyes were gentle and filled with love. “Let’s go.”
Madeline did not want to continue dealing with Hannah, so she smiled and nodded.
Jeremy lifted his handsome face that instantly turned cold. After that, he carefreely walked past Hannah with his arms around Madeline. It could be said that he was completely ignoring Hannah.
Refusing to back down, Hannah bit her lip and looked at Madeline who was being cherished in Jeremy’s embrace. Hannah’s eyes were nearly brimming with intense envy and hatred.
She stomped her feet angrily, unable to rein in her anger.
Hannah admitted that Madeline was much better than her in many aspects and that Madeline was more perfect than her, but Hannah was younger!
She was in her twenties and that was her prime. Moreover, her appearance was the most outstanding one in the crowd.
She was very attractive to men, so logically speaking, Jeremy, being a man, should not be able to escape from this established law, yet he was the exception.
“Hmph!”
Irritated, Hannah huffed. The more she thought about it, the madder she felt.
At the thought of Jeremy’s warning earlier and to avoid inviting more ridicule, she decided to leave Madeline’s laboratory first.
