Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 39

The baby in her child would be able to wear these no matter what their sex was.

Madeline was about to pay for the clothes. However, when she turned around, she saw Meredith.

It seemed as if she was alone. She had a sinister smile on her face. Madeline wanted to walk past her, but Meredith stopped her.

"Maddie, you're in so much trouble and you're still in the mood to shop? Aren't the police looking for you?"

Madeline was confused about what she was talking about. Then, Meredith continued. "You're such a character as well. It's fine if you don't have talent, but why did you plagiarize other people's work? The company, Minora, is suing you for ruining their company's name. Plus, they're also suing you for breaching their intellectual property rights. If you're convicted of this crime, you're going to jail."

Madeline was puzzled. The company that Meredith mentioned was the company that entrusted her to design the couple rings.

However, that was her own creation. She never stole any designs, so how was this plagiarism?

"Meredith, stop spewing nonsense! You're ruining my reputation by slandering me like this."

"Maddie, stop pretending. This is not the first time you did something so heinous," Meredith said with pity.

Madeline did not want to fight with Meredith anymore. She had been at the losing end a few times. She did not want Meredith to have any chance of framing her again.

However, it was as if Meredith knew that Madeline wanted to leave, so she grabbed her hand hurriedly and said in a gentle but loud voice, "Maddie, I know you hate me, but please don't kill my child. Come at me if you want revenge. The child is innocent!"

This again.

Madeline had fallen for it the first time, so she would not allow Meredith to set her up again.

However, Meredith was even more devious than Madeline imagined. She pulled Madeline's hand and swung it all of a sudden. Then, she fell backward as if she had lost her balance.

"Ah!" she yelled out in pain. The staff and customers of the maternity shop all looked over.

Then, Jeremy appeared just in time. He saw Meredith on the floor holding her stomach in pain. He carried her hurriedly. There was a puddle of blood where Meredith was lying on just now.

At this moment, Meredith's eyes were red. She shrieked at Madeline bitterly and hatefully, "Maddie, why are you so cold-blooded? Why'd you steal my boyfriend? And now, you even want to kill my child! I'm your sister!"

She fell into Jeremy's arms while looking like she was in immense pain. "Jeremy, I can't keep the child anymore. I can feel him slipping away from my body..." The onlookers all glared at Madeline in unison.

Jeremy was looking at her with so much malice. It was as if he wanted to kill her. "Madeline! If anything happens to my child, I'll bury you along with him!" Madeline felt a gust of cold air rising from her feet. A bad feeling washed over her entire body.

Jeremy left her with a warning before leaving hurriedly with Meredith in his arms.

Madeline turned around to chase up to them, but the moment she stepped out of the shop, she was stopped by two cops. Someone had called the cops. This familiar scene caused Madeline's scalp to feel numb. She remembered how she was beaten up badly when she was in the lockup. She almost lost her child.

If she went into lockup again, she might die there. She wanted to see the birth of Jeremy and her child before she died. She did not want to go in!

"I didn't push her! She purposely fell!" Madeline was on the brink of an emotional breakdown.

Then, the sounds of criticism and gazes of disdain from the people around were all aimed at her. Everyone was sure that she was the one who did that heinous crime. The cops handcuffed Madeline when they saw that she was refusing to cooperate. Then, they brought her into the cop car.
