Chapter 313
Meredith did not expect that Jeremy would push her away so simply. She was dumbfounded!
She heard Jeremy calling out Vera’s name nervously. The worry and concern in his tone clearly belonged to her alone!
Now, however, he was giving it to another woman.
What made Meredith even more astounded was that she was actually seeing Madeline sitting on the ground at this moment with a helpless and weak expression, as if she had been pushed down by someone.
“Why are you sitting on the floor?” Jeremy walked quickly toward Madeline before kneeling down. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with sadness and a rare tenderness.
Madeline slowly raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Meredith who was behind Jeremy.
“If I said that this noble Miss Crawford pushed me down, would you believe me?” She looked at Jeremy’s deep eyes innocently.
When Meredith heard this, she clenched her fists violently and defended herself angrily. “Vera, what are you talking about? How could I have pushed you? It was you who provoked me and destroyed the dinner I prepared for Jeremy. You even hit me!”
She then said in a frail tone while crouching next to Jeremy and holding onto his arm, “Jeremy, don’t be fooled by this woman. She bullied me! I didn’t even lay a finger on her, Jeremy. Don’t you believe me?”
Meredith looked at Jeremy deeply, looking forward to his satisfactory response to her.
However, instead of paying attention to Meredith, Jeremy stretched out his hand and gently lifted Madeline up.
“Ow!” Madeline frowned.
Jeremy looked at the area where she had been bruised in the morning because of the car accident. “Does it hurt?”
“A little.”
She had always been the one setting others up. Since when was it the others’ turn to set her up and make her the one to feel aggrieved instead?!
‘How dare you, Vera Quinn?!’
Meredith gritted her teeth and stared at Madeline’s smiling face, wishing to bore through her face!
“You should go and reflect on what you have done,” came Jeremy’s order of chasing away his guests.
Meredith clenched her fists unwillingly. Her heart was full of anger, but in the end, she could not release it. Instead, she wept while feeling aggrieved. “Jeremy, we’ve been together for so many years, yet you actually refuse to believe me. I’m heartbroken!” she said before covering her face and running away crying.
Unmoved, Jeremy continued to treat Madeline’s wounds without even sparing a glance for Meredith.
Madeline had been watching, however. Watching Meredith’s resentful yet aggrieved figure running away really made her feel so happy.
