Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 252

Chapter 252

Felipe was wearing a fitting tailored suit, looking elegant and smart. At this moment, there was anger in his eyes. It was the opposite of his usual calm and graceful face with no emotions. "Apologize to my fiancée now, or else, it won't be as easy as just a lawsuit."

"..." The woman did not know who Felipe was, but she was horrified by the coldness coming from his eyes.

Madeline walked over to Felipe and grabbed his arm naturally and intimately. "It's fine, Felipe. I don't need a hypocritical apology. It's enough that everyone knows that I'm innocent."

"How can I let that happen?" Felipe looked at Madeline gently. "I won't let anyone bully or tarnish your name. I won't allow it even if it's one word."

His defensive words were filled with the overprotectiveness of a boyfriend.

Madeline looked into Felipe's eyes. Perhaps it was the lighting, but she saw deep love and overbearingness that she had seen before in his eyes.

Her heart raced. Before she could say anything else, she saw a few younger socialites blushing when they saw Felipe.

Perhaps they were melting at what he said just now.

Meredith was extremely jealous of what she was seeing right now.

She already despised this woman who looked exactly the same as Madeline. Tonight, she had wanted to see Madeline making a fool out of herself, but she did not expect such a plot twist! "What are you waiting for? Are you going to apologize only when we're at the police station?" Felipe asked in a cold voice.

That woman trembled after she saw Felipe's icy gaze. She apologized hurriedly and frantically. "I-I'm sorry! I made a mistake! I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you!"

It had been three years.

Madeline did not expect that she would one day get this woman's apology.

However, if Jeremy had not been so heartless back then, she would have gotten this apology three years ago.

Madeline was lamenting this in her heart. When she lifted her head, she saw Meredith looking at her from head to toe.

When she saw Madeline looking at her, Meredith averted her eyes quickly.

After that woman apologized, she wanted to leave quickly. However, Felipe stopped her again. "Not only should you apologize to my fiancée..." He started to say profoundly.

The woman froze in confusion. Then, she heard Felipe saying again.

"Just now, you said there was a girl who looked like my fiancée back then who stole your bracelet during the Whitmans' birthday party, right?"

"Right! That's right! It's all because your fiancée looks so much like that maid. If not, I wouldn't have mistaken her for that recidivist!" The woman was trying her best to shift the blame. She wanted to shift all the responsibility to Madeline who had been the thief three years ago.

There was a layer of ice on Felipe's handsome face. He said, "Listen carefully, that girl wasn't the Whitmans' maid. She's my nephew and Jeremy's wife, Madeline. Also, the person who stole your bracelet wasn't Madeline, it was her."

Everyone was already shocked by what Felipe said before, but now they had their eyes widened in disbelief after they heard what followed.

They looked over to where he was looking and saw Meredith who was standing there like a deer in headlights.

Meredith's expression changed. However, she did not stomp her feet in anger but instead remained her usual pitiful saint-like image. "Mr. Whitman, even though you're Jeremy's uncle, how can you accuse me like that? When have I ever stolen someone else's belongings?"

"You're the one who stole Mrs. Langford's bracelet back then. After that, you shifted the blame onto Madeline." Felipe then slowly recounted what had happened back then. "A lot of the guests who attended the party back then are here as well. I believe that they still remember that incident. After that, you posted what happened online and made such a huge fuss. Maddie suffered so much because of that. She even had to bear so many insults and accusations."

"Nonsense!" Eloise interrupted him angrily. "Felipe, what are you talking about? How could my daughter do such a thing? You're accusing my daughter unjustly in front of so many people. I won't let this matter go so easily!"

"Mom..." Meredith stood next to Eloise while looking extremely aggrieved. "I really have no idea what my future uncle-in-law is talking about. I've never done anything like that!"

"Felipe, are you trying to reopen old wounds just because your fiancée looks like Madeline?" Jeremy's mother walked over and started siding with Meredith.

At this moment, Felipe's eyes darkened. There was a coldness in his thin eyes. "You're right. I'm here to reopen old wounds indeed. But I'm not doing this just for the sake of it, I'm doing this to prove Madeline's innocence."

Meredith could not hold back her laugh after she heard that. "Mr. Whitman, so you're insisting on wrongly accusing me of something I didn't do?"

"You'll know who's the one accusing who after you watch this video."
