Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 433

Chapter 433

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear so suddenly at this time. Not only did he stop her, but he had even said something like this.

Felipe's gaze turned cold. "Jeremy, aren't you on a business trip?"

"Am I not allowed to come back after my business trip? How would I be able to witness you pestering my wife if I hadn't come back just in time?" Jeremy said in a cold tone, then he held Madeline's hand in his palm. "Let's go in."

He ignored Felipe and turned away while bringing Madeline to the door.

Madeline looked back at Felipe, then followed Jeremy into the corporation silently.

Upon returning to the office, Madeline thought that Jeremy would question her, but he did not ask anything.

"Don't you have something to ask me?" Madeline inquiringly looked at the man who had a calm expression.

Jeremy took off his coat and replied in a soft tone, "Do I have something to ask?"

"Won't you ask me what is in this thumb drive and why I was giving it to Felipe?"

"If you wanted to tell me, you would have naturally done so." Jeremy smiled with his lips parted. Listening to his words, it seemed that he did not have the intention to pursue it.

"You don't want to question me, but you did stop me just now. It's because you know what's inside, right?" Madeline asked with a slight smile.

"How would I know what's in the thumb drive? I just don't like seeing you and him having any interaction." Jeremy explained patiently. Seeing Madeline frowning and looking unhappy, he walked toward her. His tone was pampering and coaxing, something she had never experienced before.

"Vera, I don't want to see you get too close to any one of the opposite sex, especially Felipe."

His soft gaze fell onto her like the warm sun in winter, then he hugged Madeline.

"Promise me, never meet him alone again, okay?"

His humble words bloomed beside Madeline's ears in a begging tone.

"I don't want to lose you. I really don't want to..."

He whispered, his embrace tightening even more.

Madeline raised her hand slowly and gently hugged them around Jeremy's waist. "I promise."

As if having received a joyful promise, Madeline heard Jeremy chuckle relaxedly. "That's good."

After a while, Madeline followed Jeremy to the regular meeting.

She was not in the mood to listen to the content of the meeting, however, as Jeremy's behavior had planted a certain speculation in her heart.

When the meeting ended, Madeline received a call from Eloise all of a sudden saying that Diana's case was going on trial this afternoon. She called to thank Madeline for her help back then. They would never know that Vera was precisely the party involved in this matter.

At 1:30 PM in the afternoon, Madeline appeared in the audience.

Diana stood in the area of the defendant and admitted that she had switched the babies back then, but she still did not think it was a big deal.

"It's not that I've done anything bad to the child.

All I did was switch them around. My sister can prove that I gave her that child back then. She was still alive at that time! Then she died, and that means her death was well deserved.

Who asked her to kill my daughter? My daughter is the most innocent and most pitiful in this case! Your Honor, you must seek justice for my daughter!"

Hearing this, Eloise and Sean were angered while wishing they could go up and teach Diana a lesson.

This ridiculous remark made Madeline feel that Diana was indeed hateable and pitiful.

Diana sounded like she loved Brit very much, but in fact, she was only immersed in her own self-righteous, motherly love.

The judge was also shocked by Diana's remarks. Was this what a humane person would say?

Making it look reasonable even after she had destroyed another family that could have been warm and complete.

Immediately right after, Diana's sister appeared as a witness.

Diana was very excited the moment she saw her. "Your Honor, this is my sister! Ask her whether I gave her the child back then! I really didn't do anything to that child." "Silence," the judge said solemnly before asking, "Witness, please answer the prosecution lawyer's question."
