Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 167

Chapter 167

"Miss Crawford, you're free to shut up if you don't know how to speak properly. No one will think you're mute if you don't talk. Mr. Crawford and I have done nothing out of the ordinary. Even if you don't trust me, surely you should trust your own fiancé?"

"You..."

"If my memory serves me right, even Miss Crawford was a mistress before this. Don't you think the words that are coming out of your mouth are quite funny?"

Meredith was speechless as her face soured. She saw that the gazes surrounding them were quickly changing, so she adopted a look as if she was wronged.

"Miss Quinn, I don't know where you heard those rumors from, but I've always been together with Jeremy. It's my sister Madeline who fell in love with him and hatched a plot to sleep with him, forcing Jeremy to marry her. Now, Madeline is already dead, so I don't enjoy bringing this up, but I won't allow anyone to insult me like that!"

"You won't allow anyone to insult you, but it's fine if you insult me to my face? Miss Crawford, I heard that you're the daughter of the Montgomery family. Does a noble lady like you think she's above basic manners?"

Meredith was speechless, but she reacted quickly. She reddened her eyes as she gently said, "Miss Quinn, I didn't mean it like that. I just love Jeremy so much, which is why I... I'm sorry, I've troubled you." Meredith said those words and walked away tearfully.

After a while, two other people walked into the shop. Madeline would never forget the evil faces of Rose and Jon Crawford.

She once believed that they really did treat her as their own daughter. However, it was all proven false in the end. She had treated them with such loyalty, but they still decided to beat her up, even almost costing her her life.

Madeline naturally knew they were here to question her under Meredith's orders. The moment the two of them stepped inside, they were looking around frantically.

A young worker politely greeted them. "Do you two need any recommendations?"

Rose and Jon dismissively looked at the jewelry on display. "We want to buy a bracelet for our daughter, but we don't know how to pick one out. Ask your supervisor to recommend something to us. Their goal was obvious, and when Madeline heard their words, she casually turned around.

When the staff saw Madeline, he greeted her. "Miss Vera, the two customers here wish to pick out a bracelet for their daughter. Are you free to help them?"

Madeline smiled. "Of course." She walked toward Rose and Jon after that.

When they looked at the source of the voice and saw Madeline walking over, they were instantly surprised.

They had done so many wicked things, so it was hard not to be frightened when looking at Madeline's face.

"Madeline!"

"You... How are you still alive?!”

Rose and Jon said at the same time.

Madeline furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that and proceeded to put on a casual smile. "It seems like I really do look quite a bit like this woman named Madeline. Did the two of you come here because you were curious about how I look?"

"Look like? You're definitely Madeline!" Rose pointed at Madeline accusingly. "I'll never forget your face even if I die! Speak up, why are you not dead? What have you come back for? Are you trying to ruin Meredith and Jeremy's relationship? How could you be so despicable?! So what if you're alive? I'll kill you anyway, you despicable b*tch!"

A slew of insults flew out of Rose's mouth as she raised her hand up and aimed it right at Madeline's face.

Smack!
