Chapter 318
On the other side, Meredith had hired people to keep an eye on Jeremy’s villa all night. Knowing that Madeline had been in Jeremy’s bedroom all night, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
She had gotten rid of Madeline completely after all the trouble three years ago, but who knew there would be a woman who looked so much like Madeline.
The main thing was that this woman was not as easy to deal with as Madeline.
Meredith stood in front of her mirror. Looking at the unhealed scar on her face, she became more upset.
She had almost used up all the methods available, yet Jeremy was instead becoming colder toward her. She also knew that only by continuing to play the role of ‘Little Linnie’ would it be possible to snatch Jeremy back.
Firstly, she needed to treat the wound on her face.
Madeline was thinking when she suddenly felt a little itch on the back of her left waist. She scratched it a little but realized it was getting itchier, so she took a look in the mirror and found a red patch.
In order to pretend to be Madeline and become the daughter of the Montgomeries in the first place, she had not forgotten to tattoo a fake, butterfly-shaped birthmark on this part of her body.
However, as she had been too impatient back then, she randomly searched for a tattoo shop. Who knew that after only three years, not only had the color faded, but she was also suffering from itchiness due to her allergy.
Meredith desperately scratched it in distraught when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
“Meredith, are you in the bathroom?” Eloise’s voice was approaching.
Meredith put down her dress hurriedly and came out of the bathroom casually.
“Mom,” she called out obediently, but her mood showed dejection.
“Meredith.” Eloise patted her shoulder, feeling sorry for her. “Silly girl, don’t think about the unhappy things. Those aren’t your fault.”
Meredith bit her lip, feeling aggrieved. “That Vera Quinn got so many rascals to bully me but nothing is happening to her. I didn’t think Jeremy would not look into this matter just to protect her. The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I am.”
“I’ll definitely pursue this matter for you!” Eloise assured. “I think Jeremy might just be confused for the moment. Just now, the manager of D.W called me and said that Jeremy went to order an evening dress. The size of the dress is the size you usually wear!”
Meredith was a little surprised upon hearing it. “Jeremy ordered an evening dress for me?”
Eloise smiled cheerfully. “The 10th day of the coming month is Old Master Whitman’s 80th birthday. I think Jeremy ordered that dress for you to wear on the day. He wants you to be his companion to the birthday banquet.”
“Is it true?” Meredith said with surprise. All her worries and dissatisfaction from before were wiped out in an instant.
