After she heard that, Madeline knew she was finished.
She was not bothered if people humiliated or misunderstood her, but this business was too important to her.
“Draft? Maddie, when did you become a designer?” Meredith was shocked. “Are you plagiarizing the designs on the internet and then claiming them to be yours like how you did when you were graduating? Maddie, why did you let yourself go so much?” Meredith looked at her in disappointment.
When Eloise heard this, her face turned even darker. She glared at Madeline in anger and left with her daughter.
Madeline felt a pang of pain in her heart after Eloise looked at her with such a disgusted expression.
She wanted to chase after her to explain herself, but someone pulled her back.
When Meredith saw that there was no one around them, she displayed a sinister smirk. “You see, you lowly peasant, don’t even think about competing with me for the position of Mrs. Whitman. Madeline, you’ll know what’s the consequences of fighting over a man with me soon enough.”
Madeline clutched the rejected designs in her hand and glared at Meredith’s pleased smirk. She could not help herself and lifted her hand to slap Meredith heavily across the cheek.
“It’s still unknown what will happen to me, but I can clearly see that you have my fingerprints on your cheek now.”
“Madeline! How dare you slap me, you b*tch?!” Meredith was livid.
Madeline smirked coldly. “I’ll hit you whenever I want. This is not the first time anyway. You can go complain about me to Jeremy after you recompose yourself. He loves your b*tchy act so much.”
“…”
Meredith touched her cheek and ground her teeth in anger.
She wanted to slap Madeline back, but she dodged easily. Then, she turned around and left.
Madeline knew that b*tch would definitely complain about her to Jeremy. However, she did not expect Jeremy to call her so fast.
“Come to Crawford Manor. Now.”
The man’s tone sounded calm. However, Madeline knew that it was the calm before the storm.
