Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 249

Chapter 249

The woman's ear-piercing shrieks penetrated everyone's ears. The loudness of her voice attracted the attention of a lot of people around them.

Madeline lifted her head to look at this overbearing face. Immediately, the scene of her being falsely accused and bearing the burden of being called a thief appeared in her head as clear as day. After she got news of her illness that day, she needed to go to Jeremy's mother's birthday party at Whitman Manor as per Jeremy's order.

However, the moment she walked in, this woman in front of her ran into her. This woman did not apologize but instead accused Madeline of running into her. She even accused Madeline of stealing her bracelet.

In the end, Meredith helped Madeline out of 'kindness'. However, during the commotion, she placed a bracelet into Madeline's pocket. Madeline was weak back then, so she got framed as the person who stole the bracelet and was berated horribly after trying to prove her innocence.

The most humiliating part was after Felipe sent her the evidence that would prove her innocence, it was overtly destroyed by Jeremy. He loved Meredith, so he would indulge Meredith in everything she did with no limits.

Madeline had not forgotten about it. Back then, this woman called her a beggar while Meredith had addressed this woman as Mrs. Langford intimately.

"What are you looking at? Take off my bracelet now!" Mrs. Langford was dressed extravagantly. She had a death grip on Madeline's wrist as she warned furiously.

Madeline stopped recalling what happened before and glanced at the woman's hand with her beautiful eyes. "Let go of your hand."

Her tone was cold. Despite the light smile on her face, there was a powerful aura around her.

The woman was shocked by the overbearing aura. She hesitated for a while as her grip on Madeline's hand loosened slightly. However, when she realized Madeline was talking to her with this attitude, she tightened her grip on Madeline's wrist again.

"Pah! Are you threatening me?" The woman was boorish. "Just look at yourself. How dare you steal from me in an event like this?" she said arrogantly as she lifted her pejorative gaze to look Madeline up and down.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that you've stolen a lot of things during this period. If not, how would you have the money to dress up like this? Or perhaps you've gotten yourself a stupid rich man? If that's the case, why would you go as far as stealing at a dinner party?!"

"Madam, have you perhaps misunderstood something? Why would Vera steal your bracelet? Please let go of her now!" The manager approached them and started breaking them up.

The head of design came to Madeline's side hurriedly as well. She glared at the woman in agitation. "Madam, how can you falsely accuse someone with no proof? You're saying that Vera stole your bracelet and even claiming that she stole your amethyst bracelet? Do you know that this bracelet-"

"Where did you come from? How dare you accuse me of accusing her?" The woman scoffed and interrupted, saying, "Miss Crawford, you saw this woman stealing my bracelet back then with your own two eyes."

After she said that, she looked in another direction. Madeline noticed that Jeremy's mother was here as well. At this moment, the woman said, "Mrs. Whitman, you were there as well. You even pleaded for leniency on behalf of her. You said she's your maid, so that's why I let her off the hook. You have to be my witness!"

After she heard this, Madeline finally knew that Jeremy's mother had told this woman she was their maid when she whispered in her ear back then. That was why the woman stopped pursuing this matter.

Heh!

Maid!

How ridiculous!

Aside from Old Master Whitman, none of the other Whitmans had ever treated her as she was one of them.

She was just a maid in the Whitmans' eyes!

No, she was even more lowly than a maid!

"Vera Quinn was the Whitmans' maid?"

"She used to be a maid but she's able to get to where she is now. I'm sure she stole a lot from her master."

"A person like her even managed to join Miss L.ady. I have to reconsider whether I want to buy from them anymore."
