Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Meredith felt like she was in trouble, so she once again put on a show of spraining her foot. She made Rose exaggerate the story of her injury to Jeremy, wanting to trick him into visiting her at the Montgomery household.

The room was large and beautiful, elegantly decorated. Even the cloakroom was filled with various luxury goods.

Meredith was obviously enjoying everything that should have belonged to Madeline. She had never felt a shred of remorse, and even Brittany’s death caused her to swell with pride at how decisively she handled it.

Only an intelligent and capable woman like her deserved the life of the upper society.

Madeline and Brittany were unworthy of being her opponents.

As such, how could she possibly lose to Vera Quinn—a woman who had appeared out of nowhere?!

While indulging in her own thoughts, Meredith heard the sound of Jeremy’s footsteps. She immediately lay in bed like a frail patient, putting on a pair of pitiful eyes. “Jeremy, you’ve come to see me.”

Jeremy saw Meredith’s right leg wrapped up in bandages and asked, “Are you alright?”

“Since you’re here, I’ll be fine.” Meredith reached out her hand to Jeremy, craving to touch him.

However, Jeremy did not hold her hand and stopped his advance. “Since you’re fine, I’ll just head off for now. I still have a lot of things to do.”

Meredith was stunned as her expression changed immediately. “Jeremy, don’t go!”

She pretended to fall off the bed in agitation, sobbing as she reached for Jeremy.

“Jeremy, don’t go! Please don’t leave me!” As she cried, she immediately put on a hurt face.

“Jeremy, why have you been treating me so coldly? It’s been three years. Why are you still unwilling to marry me? Have you stopped loving me? Did you forget your promise of making me your wife all those years ago? Did Madeline’s death cause you to believe her slander, that it was me who blinded her?”

Jeremy stopped in his steps, her words causing his face to visibly freeze.
