Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389

Meredith was taken aback by Jeremy’s sudden tug. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in his words. She seemed to have lost the ability to breathe.

‘How… How does he know that it wasn’t me?

‘Unless Madeline has already told him everything?

‘No. She wouldn’t. There’s no way she would!’

“Cough, cough…”

Meredith felt the air get sucked out of her lungs as Jeremy’s hand on her collar tightened. Her complexion flushed and her tongue became tied. “What… What are you saying, Jeremy? I am Linnie, the one you hold dear in your heart. How else would I have the leaf bookmark? Cough, cough… Please… Jeremy, let go…”

“Do you still think that you can lie to me at this point?” Jeremy squinted, a ray of frost shooting from his eyes and freezing the better half of Meredith’s heart.

“You aren’t even Eloise and Sean’s daughter, so how could the gold pendant engraved with the name ‘Eveline’ be yours? You never had the memory of the nickname ‘Linnie’ to begin with! So how could you be that little girl?”

Meredith’s pupils contracted at his words.

She had not expected Eloise to tell Jeremy such a thing, let alone that Jeremy would be able to deduce the truth from the name alone.

“I can’t believe you’ve been lying to me by pretending to be her for so many years.” Jeremy’s tone lowered with every word as unbridled anger seeped out of his all-consuming peach-blossom eyes. “You should’ve known, Meredith Crawford, how pitiful an end you would find yourself at for deceiving me the moment you decided to lie.”

His slender fingers tightened their grip as his words fell, raising green veins on his fair arm. The fury he assumed was evident.

Meredith’s pupils dilated, her soul one shock away from leaving her as she took in the bloodthirst that Jeremy’s aura was dripping with.

“No, Jeremy. Don’t kill me, please. I… I’m really Lin—”

Meredith wanted to keep up with her act and insist that she was Linnie, but she was interrupted by a crack that suddenly sounded from her neck.

Her body froze while fear swam in her eyes. It compelled her to admit to lying.
