Chapter 360
She was so impressed with her decisiveness.
Indeed, the best ending would be Vera dying.
If not, Jeremy would never return to her as long as this woman was alive.
Jeremy looked for her along the steep incline. However, he could not pinpoint where Madeline had fallen from.
He felt as if he was going insane. He could not focus. He could not think nor deduce.
It was as if the rain was falling straight into his heart, interfering with his emotions.
The more time had passed, the more danger she would be in.
Jeremy went back to where Meredith was. His handsome face was drenched with rainwater and it was filled with coldness.
At this moment, Meredith got out of a car. Eloise had arrived unbeknownst to him. She hurried out of the car to hold the umbrella for Meredith.
Meredith ran in front of Jeremy and asked, her voice all choked up from crying, “Jeremy, have you found Jack’s body?”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. There was a fit of intense anger in his eyes. “Body? How are you so sure that Jackson’s dead?”
“V-Vera was the one who admitted this! She told me that she wanted to kill me and Jack so that she’ll be able to have you all to herself,” Meredith said confidently, “I didn’t expect her to be so vicious. However, perhaps she has to suffer the consequences of her bad deeds, so that’s why she fell.”
“Jeremy, are you happy now? You killed your own son for a heartless wh*re!” Eloise accused Jeremy with her eyes red from crying. “My poor nephew. He’s just five and he’s been killed. Jack…”
Jeremy scanned Eloise’s face with a grim expression on his face. Then, he looked at Meredith’s devastated face. “Do you think that I’ll still believe your one-sided story?”
“…” Meredith stopped crying as she lifted her stumped face.
Eloise was livid. “Jeremy! You’re too much! How can you say that to Mer?! Do you think Mer’s the one who killed Jack?”
Meredith’s heartbeat accelerated as she cursed in her heart.
