Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 428

Chapter 428

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?" The man's low and deep voice slid into her ears like thick red wine.

Madeline suddenly withdrew her thoughts. In the dark, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

"It's nothing. I just thought of a funny joke all of a sudden," she said indifferently, but her eyes were burning.

'That's right, it's a joke. A very big joke.

'He may love any woman in this world, but he'll never love me.'

The next day after Madeline got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for Jackson, she then sent him to kindergarten with Jeremy.

It was obvious that Jackson's current state was much better than before.

Madeline had never seen a child who became happier and more at ease after being without their biological mother.

What kind of a devil was Meredith to be able to destroy her own flesh and blood to the point of depression and mental damage? Whitman Corporation.

After the morning meeting was over, Jeremy took Madeline to the department specializing in jewelry under Whitman Corporation.

"It just so happens that the department manager here went abroad to study some time ago, so I'll leave this to you now," Jeremy announced in front of all the employees in the department.

Those who made jewelry were familiar with the brand Miss L.ady, and they were also familiar with the name Vera Quinn. Most importantly, Vera was their president's wife.

Madeline readily accepted this new role. She was now going to penetrate Whitman Corporation.

After familiarizing herself with the department all morning, Madeline then planned to look for Jeremy. Just as she got out of the elevator, she saw Yvonne holding an exquisite lunchbox while running directly into Jeremy's office with a bright smile on her face.

It did not take long for Madeline to hear Yvonne's coquettish voice saying, "Jez, I spent all morning making this. Quickly try it.

"Jez you don't know how much I missed you when I was studying at F Nation..."

She had poured her heart out, but Jeremy seemed to be unresponsive to her. Not long after, Yvonne came out holding the lunchbox. Madeline calmly walked over and Yvonne's face darkened as soon as she saw Madeline.

Yvonne could not be bothered to put on a show and fake a friendly look in front of Madeline when Jeremy was not around to witness it.

Madeline ignored her. It was just that Madeline noticed how the other woman had curled her lips maliciously when she passed by. This was followed by Madeline feeling an obstacle under her feet. She saw Yvonne intentionally stretching out her leg in an attempt to trip her.

Yvonne would actually do such a thing even with the knowledge that she was pregnant, but Madeline did not let herself fall.

Yvonne looked at Madeline, who was stable, in surprise. Then, she happened to meet her sharp and beautiful eyes.

Madeline curled her lips and smiled. “It's better to steady your own footsteps before wanting to trip me."

"..." In the midst of her shock and confusion, Yvonne suddenly tripped on her own foot. She immediately lost her balance, falling to the ground with a plop.

"Ah!" Yvonne exclaimed. Her lunchbox fell to the ground and the food inside was scattered all over. Her face, which had makeup on, also planted itself into a large area of the scattered meal. Not only did she fall flat on her face, but even her makeup was ruined now.

"You! Vera Quinn, you dare trip me with your foot?!" Yvonne was outraged. She got up aggressively.

She was so loud that several staff members were now looking over.

Jeremy immediately walked out when he heard the words 'Vera Quinn' mentioned.

Yvonne cried and ran over to complain as soon as she saw Jeremy. "Jez, this woman is so vicious. She tripped me with her foot and now my lunchbox was overturned. Even my makeup is smudged!" Madeline laughed. "Jeremy, she didn't lie. I did intentionally trip her-"

"Jez, you heard her. She admitted it! Vera Quinn, you're so vicious!"

"I admitted it, but do you dare to admit it as well? You wanted to trip me with your foot first just now. I was just returning the favor."

Yvonne quickly shook her head and squeezed out two drops of tears. "Jez, I didn't... She's framing me. You know I've been kind since I was young. I would never do such a thing..."

"Look behind you before you lie." Madeline smiled slightly and pointed at a spot behind Yvonne.
