Chapter 100
When Madeline said that, the expressions of those colleagues, including Elizabeth, changed. They were looking at Madeline as if they were looking at something unusual.
“This woman, aren’t you too vicious!” Several female colleagues said contemptuously.
“What kind of bad luck does Meredith have to encounter such a nutjob. She’s always targeting her everywhere.”
“Exactly. Not only you’ve stolen someone else’s boyfriend, you still went and troubled Meredith, even saying that you’d want to kill her. That’s really sick!”
“We should stay away from her, lest she goes crazy and implicates us.”
Madeline sat in her seat silently, listening to the words being deliberately said to her.
She did not speak and just stood up.
Seeing her move, the female colleagues who had been speaking the truths and lies about her hurriedly ran away, for fear of what Madeline would do to them.
Madeline found the scene funny. Then, she headed out.
She went to Felipe and seeing that Madeline had come, Felipe greeted her and asked her to take a seat very politely.
He raised his gaze and noticed Madeline’s haggard face and the two deep, red knife marks on her right cheek. Felipe was shocked.
“What happened?” He asked, out of genuine concern.
Madeline smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine, Mr. Whitman. I came here to tell you that I want to resign.”
“Resign?” Felipe looked at Madeline uncertainly. “Why?”
“I don’t want to affect the operation of the entire department with my presence. Mr. Whitman should have seen some of the negative comments about me recently?”
Hearing what Madeline had said, Felipe looked to have understood something.
“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, for taking care and helping me during this time. I will pack up and leave immediately.”
“Madeline.”
