Chapter 253
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
Everyone was curious after they heard this.
Meredith trembled as the confidence and arrogance that was on her face previously froze instantly.
âVideo?
âWhat video?
âWhat is Felipe talking about?
âDid someone capture the scene of me stealing the bracelet and blaming Madeline that night?
âHow is that possible?
âIf Felipe had that video, he would have uploaded it way earlier!â
As Meredith contemplated, she no longer felt as nervous as before. She smiled calmly.
âFelipe, donât worry. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I didnât do it, so Iâm not afraid of any video youâre going to show!â
âMer, I believe you!â Eloise grabbed Meredithâs hand, her eyes filled with trust and love.
âI hope you wonât say such blatant lies after you watch this video,â Felipe said to Meredith coldly.
The corners of Meredithâs lips twitched as a bad feeling arose in her chest.
After that, she saw Felipe gesturing to his assistant who was standing at one side. Then, the assistant clicked on the remote in his hand.
After a few seconds, the lights in the hall dimmed. Then, a clear image appeared on the LED screen in front of everyone. This scene shocked Meredith so much that her eyes were about to fall from their sockets.
The events of three years ago were displayed on the screen. Madeline was rushing into Whitman Manor in a hurry. Her face was pale and she was dressed casually. However, the moment she walked in, the arrogant Mrs. Langford bumped into her.
After Mrs. Langford bumped into her, she pushed all of the blame on Madeline. After that, Mrs.
Langford even yelled at Madeline while pointing at her.
In the video, Madeline was obviously not doing too well. However, she did not argue with Mrs.
Langford. What happened next shocked everyone.
Mrs. Langford was grabbing Madeline as she accused her of stealing her bracelet. At this moment, Meredith walked over to try to smooth things over, but during this process, she placed a bracelet into Madelineâs pocket secretly. Then, Meredith âfoundâ the bracelet in Madelineâs pocket while putting on a show of affection.
Madeline furiously tried to explain herself, but eventually, she still became a despicable thief in everyoneâs eyes.
Even though Madeline had watched this video multiple times before, she still felt a lot of mixed emotions in her heart when this was displayed in front of the public.
She did not know whether she was feeling pleased because she finally got to prove her innocence, or perhaps she was feeling wronged because of all the grievances and humiliation she had to suffer.
The lights in the hall were switched on again. Madeline lifted her spirited eyes and looked at Meredith who was extremely pale and had her jaw on the floor. Then, she smirked.
âSo this is Madeline who looked exactly the same as me. Such a poor soul she was. Oh, to be framed by her own sister like thisâ¦â Madeline exclaimed deliberately. She noticed a vague expression in Meredithâs eyes. The woman clearly looked extremely uncomfortable.
âMiss Meredith Crawford, your acting is such an eye-opener. There are so many other people in the video but they were all overshadowed by your amazing acting skills.â
ââ¦â Meredithâs face fell. She was wearing such delicate makeup and yet it could not hide her wicked heart.
âUh⦠Meredith, why did you steal my bracelet to frame Madeline? Iâve not offended you in any way.
Even if you wanted to frame someone, you shouldnât have used me! If you hadnât done that back then, I wouldnât have blamed someone innocent today!â Mrs. Langford quickly shifted all responsibilities from herself. Then, she questioned Meredith confidently.
The socialites and gentlemen around them were suspicious of Meredith after watching the video.
âThat woman who got unjustly accused is Mr. Whitmanâs ex-wife?â
âI was there too. I thought she was the one who stole the bracelet, but I didnât expect her to be wrongfully accused.â
âMeredith is the daughter of the Montgomeries yet sheâs still doing such things.â
âShe looks so weak and vulnerable, but I guess you canât judge a book by its cover. I heard sheâs going to marry Jeremy Whitman soon. What a peculiar relationship.â
Meredith could not handle the accusations and discussions around her anymore. âThat video is fake!
You must have created that recently! Thatâs not Maddie in the video! Itâs Vera! I, Meredith Crawford, have never done anything immoral! Honest to God!â
Her eyes were red from feeling aggrieved. She turned around and leaned against Eloise.
