Madeline saw that Jeremy still had doubts about Hannah, so that was why he asked her out here to speak to her alone.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the next office, Jeremy urged Madeline solemnly.
“Linnie, I still find it a bit weird, so you better not get too close to her. In a while, I’ll call Ken to arrange the flight and send her back to St. Piaf.“
Madeline nodded silently. “I also think that sending her back is the best arrangement. Even if her friends were boycotting her, I don’t think her parents would leave her to fend for herself.“
“We don’t need to worry about whether her parents would care for her or not. Linnie, she first came to the company to make trouble. She slandered your reputation and innocence, so she should bear the consequences now that the situation has escalated to this level after the clarification.“
“Yeah, Jeremy, you’re right, “ Madeline agreed. She then smiled in relief and took Jeremy’s hand. “Then, I’ll do this according to your wish, honey.“
Jeremy was very satisfied with how Madeline addressed him.
He put his arm on Madeline’s shoulder and walked back. However, when they returned to Madeline’s office, they found that it was empty; Hannah had already left without their knowledge.
Madeline saw a note on the black coffee table, so she walked over and picked it up. It was a note left by Hannah.
“Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, I have caused you a lot of trouble. Mr. Whitman, you are right. This is what I deserved, so I should bear the consequences myself. Sorry for the trouble.“
This was the content of the note left by Hannah.
“She left by herself.“ Madeline had a trace of concern in her heart. “She should be fine, shouldn’t she?“
“You dummy, what you should worry about is me and the children. As for her, in my opinion, she doesn’t deserve your concern at all, Linnie.“ Jeremy still had a firm attitude toward Hannah.
Madeline could fully understand how Jeremy felt, and she figured that Jeremy was right, so she did not think about it again.
However, she kept feeling that this would not end so easily.
This weekend, Eloise and Sean both came to the old Whitman Manor for lunch.
Although it was winter, the afternoon sun was very warm.
