Chapter 309
Meredith looked at Jeremy with her charming almond-shaped eyes that were filled with grievances as she said angrily, “Jeremy, Jack is our precious son. I wouldn’t allow him to be hurt at all as if my life depended on it. How could I have abandoned him?”
Just then, Eloise slowly walked over with Jackson. Her contemptuous gaze was directed at Meredith. “Miss Quinn, I heard that you’re about to marry Jeremy’s uncle, so why are you still hanging around here all day long with my daughter’s fiancé? Have your parents never told you that it’s shameless for you to do this?”
Faced with Eloise’s sarcasm, Madeline merely gave a tranquil and composed smile. “You’ve asked a good question, Mrs. Montgomery. My parents didn’t teach me this because not long after I was born, they brought someone else’s child home and abandoned their biological daughter due to their moment of negligence.”
When Madeline mentioned her life experience all of a sudden, Jeremy looked at her unexpectedly.
Seeing the elegant smile on her beautiful face, he felt a prick in his heart for some reason.
Eloise and Meredith were respectively taken aback.
‘It’s actually so similar to Madeline’s life experience?’ Meredith thought silently.
However, Eloise was a little lost, and her face no longer carried the contemptuous smile.
Sensing the changes in Eloise’s expression and Meredith’s face, Madeline’s pretty lips twitched.
“Although my biological parents didn’t teach me this, the person who raised me later on did, so now it’s my turn to question you, Mrs. Montgomery. Since you’re so accomplished, why was this daughter of yours brought up to be so despicable, indecent, and so indifferent toward family affection that during a dangerous moment, she would abandon her own son to escape alone? It seems that your upbringing isn’t much better, Mrs. Montgomery.”
“You, what nonsense are you talking about here?!” Eloise said angrily, “You dare slander my daughter like this? You’d better apologize to Meredith immediately. Otherwise, I will have to look into it till the end!”
“Mom…” Meredith’s eyes reddened as tears of grievances started to pool. “Jeremy, did you hear that? I’ve tolerated this Miss Quinn time and time again, but she provokes and vilifies me non-stop. She continues to slander me to this day. The reason why I have suffered so much harm is all because of her. Why is my life so bitter…”
Listening to Meredith’s crying voice, Eloise comforted her distressingly, then pointed a finger at Madeline.
“Vera Quinn, you planned for my daughter’s humiliation! You shameless woman! You’ll do everything possible to interfere with Jeremy and Meredith’s relationship just to get him, you… “
“The one who has been pestering isn’t Vera. It’s me.”
Suddenly, Jeremy’s low and cold voice interrupted Eloise intensely.
