Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 48

Indeed, the reason she could get this job so easily was because of Meredith pulling some strings behind the scenes.

However, Madeline was not an idiot. How would Meredith be so kind?

“Stop pretending. You don’t feel disgusted, but I do.” She pushed away Meredith’s hand that was trying to reach out to her in contempt.

Meredith tilted her body as if she was too weak and fragile. Then, she leaned against Eloise.

Eloise saw that her precious daughter was being bullied, so she walked over to Madeline in agitation and shielded Meredith behind her.

“Madeline, don’t be blind to what’s good for you! If Mer hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let a person like you work in my company!” Eloise said angrily.

“Even though you’re not Mer’s biological sister, she never bickered with you despite you bullying her relentlessly. She was even so thoughtful of you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to bite the hand that feeds you!”

It was this same phrase again.

Madeline was about to change her perspective about that idiom now.

Until now, she had no idea what benevolence Meredith had given to her. Meredith only gave her pain and more pain.

When Madeline saw Eloise protecting Meredith while scolding her, she felt another pang of pain in her heart.

“It’s fine, Mom. I can emphasize with Maddie. She has never had parents ever since she was young, so that’s why her views are a bit skewed. Please don’t be mad at her,” Meredith grabbed Eloise’s hand and said in an understanding manner.

Madeline was tired of explaining herself. She rolled her eyes and said, “How disgusting.”

Eloise’s face fell. When she was about to say something, Meredith stopped her again.

“Maddie, if you’ll feel better after yelling at me, then you should go ahead. I know you’ve suffered so much during the three years in prison.” Meredith was speaking so sensibly. She even said to the employees in the cafeteria, “Maddie did a lot of bad things in the past, but everyone makes mistakes. Plus, she has served her time and has atoned for her mistakes. I hope you guys won’t judge her. I’m thanking all of you in advance.”

It was such a two-faced performance, but after she said that, every employee started praising Meredith’s magnanimous behavior. Eloise was also looking at her daughter with a proud expression on her face.
