Chapter 320
Eloise had always been willing to do anything for her daughter, but she felt even more distressed when Meredith said this.
“Meredith, don’t worry. Your mother will never allow you to be bullied so simply! I want everyone here today to take a clear look at Young Master Whitman who’s the richest and most powerful man in Glendale but truly an indifferent scumbag. And this one named Vera Quinn who’s also a despicable and shameless vixen!”
Gasp!
The guests were all shocked to hear Eloise’s words.
Hearing this, it seemed that Vera Quinn was meddling in between Jeremy and Meredith’s relationship, causing Meredith to be abandoned.
“Mom, don’t say it, don’t say it! It’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Jeremy and Miss Vera. Let’s go!” Meredith burst into tears, her weak and weeping appearance looking pitiful.
Many people had begun to side with her. After all, they knew little about the history of the relationship between Meredith and Jeremy while Vera looked like a third party.
Most of the guests gradually felt distressed for Meredith and cast their contempt and disgust at Madeline.
Jeremy observed the change in the atmosphere around him. He looked back, looking at Madeline with concern.
“Are you all right?” He raised his hand and brushed her cheek lightly with his fingers.
Madeline smiled gracefully and calmly. “How could I not be fine just because of this slap? I’m not that weak.” She smiled, looking at Eloise and Meredith, and at the same time, feeling the others’ contemptuous gazes on her whole body.
“Mrs. Montgomery, everyone has to be responsible for what they do and say. You’ve hit me in front of so many people for no reason and you also called me as a vixen. Shouldn’t you give a reasonable explanation?”
She smiled lightly, her proud eyes sweeping across the hostile and questioning eyes around her while her tone changed. “The most annoying thing in my life has been being accused wrongly.”
She uttered the last few words very profoundly.
“Accused wrongly?” Eloise smiled contemptuously. “Have I wronged you? You are a vixen! And you’re cruel, mean, and shameless!”
“Mom, don’t speak anymore. Let’s go. We really can’t afford to provoke this young lady. I don’t want to suffer from a disaster like before. When I close my eyes now and think of it, they had each bullied me one by one. I’m so sad…” Meredith cried and stopped in her speech, but she was smiling in her heart while hoping that Eloise would continue to make things worse.
Eloise became even more distressed and hugged Meredith tightly, patting her back and comforting her.
