Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

‘To start all over again is too much easier said than done, Jeremy.

‘For all the pain you’ve put me through and all the fatal scars and wounds you left me would never be erased!

‘The fact that I loved you is one of the past.

‘All I have left for you, is hatred!’

Right then, Eloise walked over with Meredith in tow. “You look happy, Old Master. What are you and this lady over here talking about?”

“What ‘this lady’? This is Madeline.” The old master emphasized with displeasure.

“She’s not, Grandfather. This isn’t Madeline. Madeline died three years ago. This lady is Miss Vera Quinn, she just looks like Madeline.” Meredith explained with a smile, then turned to look at Jeremy. “Aren’t I right, Jeremy?”

Smiling, she was so sure that Jeremy would lean over to speak in her ear. Instead, he frowned in distaste.

The old master was infuriated, frowning as he stared at Madeline. “Nonsense! She’s Madeline!”

“She really isn’t Madeline, Old Master!” Mrs. Whitman had arrived to join the group. Glancing warily at Jeremy, she opened her mouth to speak anyway. “Just think about it, Old Master. Would we let her in if she’s Madeline?”

“You’re right, Mrs. Whitman!” Eloise agreed, sparing Madeline a belittling look. “We would have thrown her out already if she’s Madeline Crawford. That shameless and ruthless woman died three years ago!”

Hearing her, color began to drain from the old master’s face as his energy and spirit dampened.

Madeline faced Jeremy and frowned with concern.

Jeremy’s expression turned horrifyingly frosty. “Are you guys done?”

“Don’t blame Mother, Jeremy.” Meredith furrowed her brows and held Jeremy by his arm to persuade him. “Mrs. Whitman and my mom are right. She isn’t Madeline. Grandfather has to know the truth someday.”
