Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 379

Chapter 379

When Sean and Eloise heard Madeline's answer, for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat. The two of them asked at the same time, "You've found your parents?"

Madeline nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I've found my birth parents."

When Eloise got such an affirmative answer, she smiled.

At this moment, her smile came from the bottom of her heart.

"That's good. It's good that you found them. You'll be able to reunite with your family if that's the case."

"Reunite with them?" Madeline rolled those words off her mouth and scoffed ironically. "I won't even have the chance to reunite with them."

Eloise frowned. "Why?"

"They can't recognize me even when I'm standing right in front of them. They don't want to acknowledge me either."

Madeline looked straight at Eloise and Sean. The two of them were visibly taken aback.

Madeline smiled and broke the eerie atmosphere. "Maybe I'm just unfortunate. My parents lost me when I was small, then I was abandoned by my boyfriend after I grew up. Thankfully when I was at my lowest, I met an exceptional man who's one in a million."

Sean and Eloise looked at each other. They knew Madeline was talking about Jeremy.

The room plummeted into silence again. At this moment, the housekeeper, Diana, walked out with three bowls of soup.

"Madam, Sir, Miss Quinn, please have some soup."

Eloise introduced quickly, saying, "Miss Vera, this is Diana's famous clam chowder. It's delicious and good for you. Have a taste." "Alright." Madeline quickly turned around and went back to her seat.

Even though she knew Eloise and Sean were just hosting her because of Meredith, it was such a rare reunion for the three of them. Despite it being a hypocritical show of affection, it was still rare for her.

She picked up the spoon. When she was about to take a sip, her sharp sense of smell told her that there was something wrong with the chowder. When Eloise saw Madeline putting down her spoon, she asked curiously, "Miss Vera, why aren't you drinking it? Is it not to your liking?"

"I'm afraid you have to ask Diana about this," Madeline said as she looked at the housekeeper who was standing at one side.

When the housekeeper's name was mentioned, her expression changed.

Eloise and Sean were still puzzled when the housekeeper took out a fruit knife from behind her back and was about to stab Madeline with it.

Eloise and Sean were shocked when they saw the sharp knife approaching Madeline. They ran in front of Madeline to stop Diana.

"Diana, what are you doing?" Eloise stood in front of Madeline. "Miss Vera has no beef with you. Why do you want to kill her with a knife? Are you crazy?"

"Miss Vera? She's Madeline Crawford! She killed Miss Brittany and changed her name so she could get away with her crimes! I must avenge Miss Brittany today!"

The housekeeper was extremely hostile, and her eyes were filled with hatred. She wanted so badly to chop Madeline into a million pieces.

Madeline finally understood. The woman who she saw hiding at the corner crying heavily while looking at Brittany's photo was the housekeeper.

"She's not Madeline! Madeline died a long time ago!" Eloise emphasized. "Put the knife down."

"She is Madeline!" The housekeeper insisted. She waved the fruit knife again. "Madam, please get out of the way. Don't you want me to kill this cold-blooded woman to avenge Miss Brittany?" the housekeeper said while charging toward Madeline and waving the fruit knife.

Madeline knew she could dodge from her safely. However, she did not expect Eloise and Sean to stand in front of her.

This surprised her.

Despite Sean and Eloise not knowing what was going on, at this moment, Madeline clearly knew that these two were the closest people to her.

She had never experienced protection from her parents. However, at this moment, she felt it.

"Ah!"

Clang!

"Ellie!"

While Madeline was spacing out, she heard Sean screaming frantically.

She lifted her gaze and saw blood pouring out from the back of Eloise's arm.

"Madam! Madam, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't want to hurt you!" The housekeeper apologized hurriedly.

Sean carried Eloise to the garage quickly.

Madeline followed after them without hesitating.

Sean rushed to start the car while Madeline was looking after Eloise in the backseat. Blood poured from Eloise's wound. Madeline felt as if her heart had been sliced open when she saw the long and deep wound on Eloise's arm.

She removed her coat and wrapped it around Eloise's wound.
