Chapter 249
The woman’s ear-piercing shrieks penetrated everyone’s ears. The loudness of her voice attracted the attention of a lot of people around them.
Madeline lifted her head to look at this overbearing face. Immediately, the scene of her being falsely accused and bearing the burden of being called a thief appeared in her head as clear as day.
After she got news of her illness that day, she needed to go to Jeremy’s mother’s birthday party at Whitman Manor as per Jeremy’s order.
However, the moment she walked in, this woman in front of her ran into her. This woman did not apologize but instead accused Madeline of running into her. She even accused Madeline of stealing her bracelet.
In the end, Meredith helped Madeline out of ‘kindness’. However, during the commotion, she placed a bracelet into Madeline’s pocket. Madeline was weak back then, so she got framed as the person who stole the bracelet and was berated horribly after trying to prove her innocence.
The most humiliating part was after Felipe sent her the evidence that would prove her innocence, it was overtly destroyed by Jeremy. He loved Meredith, so he would indulge Meredith in everything she did with no limits.
Madeline had not forgotten about it. Back then, this woman called her a beggar while Meredith had addressed this woman as Mrs. Langford intimately.
“What are you looking at? Take off my bracelet now!” Mrs. Langford was dressed extravagantly. She had a death grip on Madeline’s wrist as she warned furiously.
Madeline stopped recalling what happened before and glanced at the woman’s hand with her beautiful eyes. “Let go of your hand.”
Her tone was cold. Despite the light smile on her face, there was a powerful aura around her.
The woman was shocked by the overbearing aura. She hesitated for a while as her grip on Madeline’s hand loosened slightly. However, when she realized Madeline was talking to her with this attitude, she tightened her grip on Madeline’s wrist again.
“Pah! Are you threatening me?” The woman was boorish. “Just look at yourself. How dare you steal from me in an event like this?” she said arrogantly as she lifted her pejorative gaze to look Madeline up and down.
“Tsk tsk, it seems that you’ve stolen a lot of things during this period. If not, how would you have the money to dress up like this? Or perhaps you’ve gotten yourself a stupid rich man? If that’s the case, why would you go as far as stealing at a dinner party?!”
