Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026

Jeremy glanced at her calmly. “There’s nothing to be afraid of if you’re innocent.”

“Of course I am!” Lana exclaimed, then turned to glare at Eve.

She merely rolled her eyes when another pair of handcuffs were brought to her wrists.

She was dazed. “Why are you arresting me, officers? I already told you everything I know. Why are you still arresting me?”

“Who else would they arrest, then? Me?” Madeline smiled and fired back. “You say you’re innocent, Eve, and that you’ve been used. But none of this would’ve happened tonight if you didn’t have the heart to harm me in the first place.”

“…”

Speechless, Eve stared at Madeline’s tranquil expression. Not only was she feeling like an idiot for being used, but she had also completely lost to Madeline.

With Lana and Eve brought away, Naomi was left to stomp her feet in infuriation.

She watched with eyes reddened by envy as Ryan defended Madeline.

Everyone who spoke ill of and suspected Madeline went up to give their sincere apologies.

The person in charge who had given Madeline the biggest earful flushed in embarrassment. “I’m really sorry, Ms. Montgomery. I should’ve investigated everything clearly before I accused you of anything. I’m really sorry.”

Madeline merely curled her lips into a shadow of a smile. “It’s alright, I’m used to being framed anyway.”

She smiled and looked down for a while. When she raised her gaze, it was much brighter than before.

“My parents may have left me and I may not have people who’ll defend me with everything they have in this world anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’m free game for those who want to hurt and bully me.”

Jeremy’s heart bled as he heard Madeline speak in the crowd, but he took the feeling in a stride.
