Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Tanner’s complexion paled as he pointed a finger at Madeline who was currently washing her hands. Shocked, he crawled up from the ground with a hand on the wall for his strength seemed to have vanished from his legs.

It was the first time he had participated in such a high-class celebration. As a result, he had drunk a good amount to take full advantage of the situation.

Under the effects of alcohol, Madeline’s enchanting smile floated about in his vision. Her face duplicated as the figures began to approach him. He could not breathe!

Too afraid to look her in the eye, he started to stutter and mumble.

“Mad-Madeline Crawford! Why won’t you leave me alone? The person you’re looking for is Meredith! Not me!”

Watching Tanner tremble in fear before her, Madeline stepped over with her high heels clicking and a smile on her curled lips.

“You’re asking me why Madeline’s spirit is haunting you? I’m sure you know exactly why.”

“Ah!” Tanner dashed into the male bathroom, terrified. “I don’t know! I don’t know anything at all! Find Meredith if you want revenge! Leave me alone! Go away!”

He mumbled, his heart racing in utmost fear.

After a while, the sounds of activity vanished outside. Tanner took a tentative step only to realize there was no one at all!

It fueled his fear. He turned on the tap to wash his face in hopes of sobering up, yet regardless of how much he splashed, the image of Madeline’s thought-provoking smile continued to echo in his mind…

Madeline returned to the ballroom. The atmosphere had lightened greatly and the guests began to drink and dine, enjoying the food as they chatted with each other.

When her eyes fell on Old Master Whitman, Madeline held back the overwhelming urge to greet him, for she knew impulsiveness would do her no good.

Meredith was frustrated and pissed now that her plans had been ruined. She had the urge to rage and vent, yet this was a setting where she had to continue to act as a gentle and kind woman.

The perfect words to get Madeline in trouble formed in Meredith’s mind now that the other had returned. She watched Jeremy approach Madeline and lean over flirtatiously to whisper in her ear.

After that, she watched Jeremy lift an arm for her to hold in his own volition and Madeline actually linked arms!
