Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 200

Chapter 200

All eyes fell on Madeline from the moment she got off the car...

Inside, Jeremy was frowning. A deep look flashed in his icy eyes as he found himself frustrated by Madeline not picking up his call. Suddenly, he felt a tug at his pant legs.

Looking down, Jeremy was faced with Jackson's indifferent expression.

"Where's Big Sis Vera? Is she not here yet?" Jackson was very much looking forward to Madeline's arrival.

Jeremy felt his heart grow distant as he stared at his son.

The sight of Jackson would always remind him of how he had destroyed the ashes of his and Madeline's daughter.

His heart raced as frustration bubbled each time the memory of Madeline's last words as she tugged on his collar replayed in his mind.

"Jack," Meredith's voice sounded.

The hand on Jeremy's pants tightened as the light in his eyes vanished. He let go to flee, only to be caught by Meredith in the end. "Where are you going, Jack?"

With a fake smile plastered on her face, Meredith gripped Jackson's small wrist tightly and lifted her head to smile gently at Jeremy.

"Your mother is asking us to go over, Jeremy. She said she has something important to announce."

Jeremy's cold gaze lifted slightly. "Announce? Announce what?"

Meredith blinked her eyes innocently. "I don't know either. Maybe it's to do with the corporation? Perhaps we should head over first."

Staring at his mother who had already walked on stage in confusion, Jeremy's long legs began to walk.

With Jeremy already taking the bait, Meredith tugged Jackson harshly. "Come on!"

Jackson tried his best to struggle against the hold, but all efforts were futile for his strength was no match for Meredith's.

Mrs. Whitman had taken the stage. Seeing Meredith walk over with Jeremy and Jackson in tow, she took the mic and began. "Dearest guests and reporters, I would like to thank you for your attendance today. I'm Jeremy Whitman's mother. Tonight, I would like to take this opportunity to announce some wonderful news, and I'd like all of you present to witness such a moment."

"Wonderful news?"

"Could it be Young Master Whitman and Meredith Crawford's wedding?"

"It has to be!"

The audience began to whisper among themselves. Jeremy's eyes darkened at the sound of the rumors while Meredith's smile grew.

Jeremy and her wedding date was finally going to be announced!

The moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived!

Mrs. Whitman smiled and spoke, "Indeed. The announcement I'm going to make will be about this marr—"

"Who's that?"

"Why does she look so familiar?"

"Could it be that woman from the auction?"

The ballroom erupted into a rambunctious frenzy, interrupting Mrs. Whitman just as she was about to unwarrantedly announce details of the wedding. Everyone's gaze fell in the direction of the ballroom doors to see a woman in a luxurious gray gown taking light and elegant steps toward them.

Her dress flowed fluidly behind her every step.

Everyone was stunned as they set eyes on Madeline's flawless appearance.

From her soulful eyes to the joy exuding from her pink cheeks, Madeline's beauty made one feel an indescribable way.

While beautiful faces were hardly a scarcity in the guests' lives, they could not help but replace Madeline's beauty exceptionally breathtaking. It was impossible to tear their eyes from her!

Everyone was curious about where Madeline had come from. The woman was smiling calmly while walking over to a crushed Meredith and Jeremy, who had his eyes fixed on her. Stopping in front of him, she smiled. "I'm here, Jeremy."

Jeremy's eyes constricted as he stared at the mesmerizing woman in disbelief. "What did you call me?"
