Chapter 177
Looking at her attire, she did not seem like a servant of the Montgomeries, and neither did she look like a guest, so who was she?
Madeline did not have the chance to think about it. She hurried upstairs when she saw that the woman was wiping away her tears and preparing to leave.
Before she could clear the mystery in her head, Madeline heard Meredith’s voice coming from inside one of the rooms.
She walked toward the room and stood outside. She did not know how Meredith did it, but she heard her voice shout out in elation, “Jeremy, I’m so happy. Marrying you is my greatest wish in life!”
It would seem that Jeremy really was going to propose to Meredith, and they were going to be married quite soon.
“I’ll definitely fulfill my promises.” Jeremy’s voice followed, sounding like someone who always kept their promises.
Madeline felt like those words were grating against her ears. ‘Jeremy, when have you ever fulfilled your promises to me?
‘You destroyed everything that I waited and hoped for from you for over ten years. You even wanted to end my life in the end, and yet here you are, living a happy life with another woman.
‘I won’t allow you such happiness.’
Madeline clenched her fists, quickly hiding when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
“I’ll go downstairs first. You should wipe away your tears and redo your makeup before coming down.” Jeremy walked out of the room.
Once he went downstairs, Madeline returned to her original spot.
When she looked inside, she quickly spotted Meredith doing her makeup in front of the dressing table with a victorious smile on her face.
As she enjoyed herself, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to unwrap the present Madeline had given her.
When Meredith opened it, her face immediately sunk.
