Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 157

Chapter 157

On the other side, Madeline took a sip of her coffee slowly. She looked at the huge sum of money that was transferred to her bank account on her phone. She lifted the mirror and looked at her reflection.

She touched the place where the scars used to be. However, she would still feel a stinging pain even though she had only touched them lightly.

She put down the mirror and turned her elegant body. Then, she walked into the fashion boutique next door.

All of the rich and powerful upper-class elites in Glendale were coming to the auction that was being held in the most luxurious six-star hotel here.

They were going to auction off a huge shop in the busiest part of the plaza in the city center.

Meredith had been eyeing this shop for a very long time. She also hinted to Jeremy many times before for him to bid on this shop for her.

Back then, she had stolen Madeline's diary and the jewelry design drafts she left behind when she was in university. Even she needed to admit that Madeline's designs were outstanding. Even though Eloise was letting her manage two shops, she was still dissatisfied.

As such, she made up her mind to start her own brand once she got her hands on the shop. She would make a name for herself in the industry and crush all those brands that emerged during that period. Eventually, she would become an internationally well-known jewelry designer.

Meredith spent a lot of time and effort dolling herself up. She wanted to become the center of everyone's attention after she successfully got the shop.

On the other hand, she also wanted to attract Jeremy's attention.

Before they left, she did not forget to get an update regarding the aromatherapy kit. It was the key item to whether she would be able to have sex with Jeremy tonight. However, she did not get any reply from the perfumer even after a long time.

Meredith was agitated, but she could not show it. She followed Jeremy into the hall.

Today was such a great opportunity. She was able to follow Jeremy to a place filled with the rich and famous, so she had to put on a good performance.

Jeremy was wearing a black custom-made suit. His charming and domineering aura was oozing from his bones.

Meredith was wearing a stunning gown while donning on the latest jewelry. She walked next to Jeremy while all dolled up in jewels. She had her usual mask of kindness and gentleness as she occasionally greeted the people around them. She enjoyed the envious gazes the other socialites gave her and all the men ogling her.

"Jeremy, let's sit there," Meredith blinked and said sweetly.

Jeremy pulled his arm away from Meredith emotionlessly.

If this hotel was not under his name, he would not even be in attendance.

Meredith felt an emptiness in her hands, making her frustrated. However, she still kept the smile on her face as everyone was looking at her and Jeremy. She enjoyed the feeling of being in the center of attention too much.

The auction soon started. Meredith sat next to Jeremy happily. However, at that moment, everyone's gazes left her and were all focused on the entrance of the hall. Meredith's face fell. She caught a lithe and beautiful figure sashaying over slowly from the corner of her eyes.

She turned around to look closely. When she saw the person walking over with a pair of sunglasses on her face, Meredith could not maintain her hypocritical smile anymore. "Hmph, what a small world!" Meredith gritted her teeth. She still had not forgotten about what happened in KFC that day.

Jeremy was initially not bothered by the commotion, but all of a sudden, he felt that something was amiss.

He subconsciously turned around to look over at the scene. When he saw the woman in a long dress and magnolia white suit jacket sashaying over, his eyes lit up.

It was her!
