Madeline grunted in pain instantly. Jon was using all of his might to torture her. It was as if he wanted so badly to crush her bones. Then, Madeline heard his pompous reasons.
“Jeremy, don’t think that I’m going too hard on her. I’m her father and I can’t stand seeing my own daughter being bullied like this! After Mer gives birth to that child, you’ll know how it feels to be someone’s parents.”
As he said that, he rubbed his foot on the back of Madeline’s hand.
Madeline’s hand started to bleed again after getting stabbed by glass shards.
She did not yell out in pain nor did she beg for mercy.
Jeremy did not say anything. His handsome face was as cold as ice. To Madeline, he was tacitly agreeing to Jon’s actions.
“Jeremy, my face hurts. I’m so scared that my face will never recover.” Meredith sobbed gently at this moment.
Jeremy frowned and glanced at Madeline in disgust. “She deserves this.”
Then, he held Meredith and said, “You dummy, I promise that your face will be as beautiful as it was before. Come, I’ll go rest with you in your room.” His comforting words successfully made Meredith burst into laughter. At the same time, it successfully struck Madeline down.
“No, you should accompany Maddie. I’m worried that Maddie will be jealous.” Meredith pushed Jeremy away hypocritically.
“I won’t even care if this evil woman dies from jealousy.” Jeremy walked past Madeline with an unbothered look on his face.
He turned around as Jon lifted his foot. Then, he stomped down on Madeline’s wrist a few times.
Madeline gritted her teeth as her red and tearful eyes looked at Jeremy and Meredith’s backs as they went upstairs in each other’s arms. A pang of pain shot up in her heart.
After Jeremy walked into the room, Jon lifted his leg and kicked Madeline on the shoulder. He did not go easy on her at all.
“I went easy on you today! If you dare to bully Mer again, I’ll ask someone to chop your hands off! Scram!”
Madeline gritted her teeth and climbed up from the floor challengingly. However, she did not submit to them. “If Meredith dares to provoke me again, I’ll still slap her.”
