Chapter 282
However, since Jackson was around, Eloise had to control her anger.
“Vera.” Jackson lifted his head to greet Vera. There was a rare smile on his clean and smooth face.
Madeline smiled in return. “Jack, how are you?”
When Eloise saw this, her face fell. “Jack, what did you call her? Do you know her? How would you know this evil woman?”
“Vera isn’t a bad person.” Jackson knitted his eyebrows together. The smile on his face disappeared gradually as he became down and dispirited again.
“She’s a bad person! She’s the one who caused your mother to be hospitalized!” Eloise’s tone became awful. She glared at Madeline while gritting her teeth. “Vera Quinn, stay away from my family. I’ll get back at you for what you’ve done to Mer!”
“Pretty Grandma, why are you screaming at my mommy?” Lillian said in a voice as soft as cotton.
Eloise finally spotted the little girl who looked about two to three years old next to Madeline.
She wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but when she saw Lillian’s big eyes and doll-like face, she was stunned.
She looked so much like her.
She looked exactly like Meredith when she gave birth to her.
“What are you looking at, Mrs. Montgomery?” Madeline smiled and asked.
Eloise came back to her senses and pointed at Lillian. There was suspicion in her eyes as she asked, “Is this your daughter?”
Madeline nodded. “Is there something wrong?”
“…” The expression in Eloise’s eyes changed. She inspected Madeline’s face profoundly for a while. Then, she scoffed. “Hmph, Vera Quinn, so you have a daughter yourself? Have you ever thought about how heartbroken you’d be if your daughter gets hurt by someone? Do you really think my daughter has no mother who loves her?”
At the end of the day, she was feeling sorry for Meredith again.
Madeline smiled. “I won’t allow anyone to hurt my daughter, but Mrs. Montgomery, are you sure you really love your daughter?”
“What do you mean?” Eloise asked in dissatisfaction. “Are you trying to incite disharmony between me and Mer again?”
