Chapter 377
Eloise walked in front of Madeline slowly, her smile looking amiable. “I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to have dinner at my place tonight?”
Madeline frowned. “Am I hearing things? Are you inviting me for a meal at your place, Mrs. Montgomery?”
‘Does she know something?’
‘Is that why she’s inviting me to her home in such a friendly manner?’
However, Madeline immediately saw a hint of reluctance in Eloise’s eyes.
Madeline understood now. Eloise was only doing this for Meredith.
Heh.
How pathetic.
‘My birth mother is willing to give a half-hearted invitation to a woman she despises for the sake of a heartless she-devil.
“Miss Vera, I hope you can forgive me for what I’ve done in the past. I’m sincerely inviting you to be a guest in my home.” Eloise had a smile on her face while waiting for Madeline’s reply.
Madeline felt that it was too ironic. She wanted to reject her.
However, she could not do it.
The person in front of her was her mother who brought her into this world—despite her hatred toward her or how she could not even sense the existence of her biological daughter.
“Alright,” answered Madeline. When she saw an unrestrained smile on Eloise’s face, she felt emptiness and ridiculousness in her heart.
After Madeline left, Eloise walked into the station. Then, she went to visit Meredith in the detention center.
Madeline started to feel anxious when she heard that Eloise had invited Madeline to dinner at the house.
She did not know what Madeline was planning. Madeline was not the halfwit she used to be. It was difficult to predict what she was thinking about.
However, Meredith made up her mind to complain about Madeline first no matter what. “Mom, I know you’re doing this for me, but I’d rather rot in jail than see you and Dad curry favors with Vera.”
