Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Should she go back with him?

Madeline lifted the corner of her lips into a smile and answered sweetly, "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Meredith. At this moment, Meredith's face was as black as charcoal and her lips were tightly pressed together. She was so pissed that she almost crushed her teeth.

However, it was her contradictory appearance that made Madeline feel pleased the most. She was on the brink of explosion, yet she did not want to spoil her image of a gentle and loving woman.

Madeline saw Jeremy walking toward Meredith. He was definitely going to comfort this two-faced b*tch.

From a distance, Madeline saw Meredith holding her child while getting close to Jeremy with a pitiful look.

"Jeremy, I'm so afraid that Maddie will harm me and my child again. She has been in jail for three years, and she seems even more unhinged now." Meredith complained to Jeremy.

"Jeremy, you didn't forget what you promised me when we were kids, right? You said you'd take me as your bride and protect me forever."

Madeline thought she would no longer care if Jeremy got close to another woman, but just seeing them talking at such close proximity made Madeline feel as if someone was crushing her heat. She almost could not breathe.

However, she did not believe that this was love. This was pure hatred.

She hated the couple. They killed her daughter in such a selfish and cruel manner but they were still so happy and carefree.

Madeline did not wait for Jeremy to return. She called for a cab on the side of the road and left without turning back.

Not long after, Madeline received a call from Jeremy. Although she had changed her phone and did not save his number, the numbers that she had already memorized deep in her heart felt like needles pricking her eyes.

Madeline did not answer, and Jeremy made a total of three calls. Madeline just watched the screen light up before turning gray once more. She was sitting in the taxi, and it was as if she was seeing her life lighting up and darkening in the past few years. Finally, she plunged into a life of total darkness.

How many times had she naively expected that he would like and care about her even if it was just a little bit? The disappointment that she gathered finally piled up into a mountain of despair. Madeline placed her hands where her heart was. The feeling of heartache was still strong. 'But Jeremy, this is no longer my love for you. Instead, it's hatred!'

...

Madeline continued looking for a job, but she would hit the wall again and again.

If this continued, her life would be over.

Madeline talked to Ava and told her that she wanted to leave Glendale to go to another city to start a new life. Otherwise, she would never have the opportunity to avenge her daughter. In order to seek revenge, she had to make herself stronger.

Ava told Madeline that no matter what she did, she would support her. Ava even took out her savings over the past few years and gave all of them to Madeline. Madeline refused. No one in this world got their money for free.

She packed light and booked a high-speed rail ticket to the next city. As soon as she went out with her suitcase, she saw a familiar car stopping in front of her.

Jeremy got out of the car coolly. When he saw that Madeline was about to leave, he stepped forward in a chilling manner. "Where are you going, Mrs. Whitman?"

Madeline's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She squeezed the handle of her suitcase and gave him a fake calm smile. "It's better to ask that shameless mistress what she did to cause me, the lawfully wedded wife, to not be able to have a proper meal."

The expression in Jeremy's eyes changed slightly. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and pulled Madeline into the car.

It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid, especially when his skin touched hers. She trembled at that warm touch. Madeline struggled immediately. "Jeremy, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
