Chapter 922
Ryan’s concerned voice rang in her ears, and Madeline breathed out a sigh of relief. She quickly thanked him. “Fortunately I had Mr. Jones. Thank you for your help.”
When the waiter saw this scene, he quickly came over to apologize and offered to give Madeline a waiver on her bill.
Madeline did not pursue the matter further. She went back to the company after she thanked Ryan.
After returning home, Madeline began designing the wedding ring seriously.
Then on the next day, she went to Whitman Manor early in the morning.
In a blink of an eye, Jeremy had been gone for a month and today was the one-month anniversary of his death.
The moment Madeline stepped in through the door, however, Karen then said to her strangely, “Oh, it seems that you remember what day it is today? You’re actually putting on quite the comprehensive act for this affectionate scene.”
Many relatives and friends were currently offering their respects to Jeremy, and there was even a funeral conductor present.
Upon hearing Karen’s words, they all looked at Madeline in unison.
Not wanting to argue with Karen, Madeline silently went forward to give her respects to Jeremy.
Seeing that Madeline was ignoring her, Karen’s expression collapsed as her tone became even more aggressive. “Eveline, don’t pretend to have any affection for Jeremy here. You have long wished that something would happen to Jeremy. The happiest person when Jeremy died would be you.”
Winston, who had just returned from outside, heard Karen targeting Madeline again as soon as he entered the door.
He hurried over to stop her. “Karen, are you done? If Eveline really doesn’t love and care about Jeremy, why would she still carry Jeremy’s posthumous child with so much difficulty?! Stop going overboard with your words!”
“What posthumous child? Maybe this child doesn’t even belong to Jeremy at all!”
The words that Karen blurted out were completely thoughtless.
Madeline turned around swiftly and said, “Karen, you can question my feelings for Jeremy and you can look for things to pick on me all day long, but please have better control of your mouth and don’t insult my children.”
“You…”
Karen pouted, feeling dissatisfied.
