Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Meredith raised her voice. It was probably the first time she had been so hysterical in front of Jeremy.

She wildly pulled at Madeline who was in Jeremy’s embrace, shrieking. “Vera Quinn! I knew you didn’t have good intentions. Giving me a present? You’re clearly here to seduce Jeremy!”

Madeline was getting quite annoyed with Meredith’s high-pitched voice. If it was not for the fact that she had a plan, she would probably have slapped Meredith.

However, Madeline did not do so and instead frowned in mock dizziness. “Miss Crawford, you’re mistaken.”

“I’m not mistaken! I saw it with my own eyes! You despicable woman!” As Meredith shouted, she decided to send her palm straight toward Madeline’s face.

Smack!

Meredith’s palm did not find her target. Instead, it was grabbed firmly by Jeremy.

Jeremy’s eyes coldly looked at the hysterical Meredith. “I was just helping her up. Do you have to shout at her like that?”

His voice was so cold that Meredith almost cried from hearing it.

“Jeremy, you’ve never talked to me like this before…” Meredith started to cry as she said that.

Jeremy released his hand, his expression still serious. “I’ve talked like this before. You don’t have to read into it, but your actions just now really crossed the line. Apologize to Miss Vera.”

Madeline widened her eyes in disbelief. “What? You want me to apologize?”

She clenched her teeth as she looked at Madeline. “I will not apologize to her!”

“It’s fine, there’s no need to apologize. It’s my fault for not keeping my balance,” Madeline said softly before turning to the angry Meredith. “Miss Crawford, I’m sorry for causing you grief.”
