Chapter 321

As Madeline’s voice fell, the surrounding gradually became quiet.

The truth about this incident?

Is what that was just said not the truth?

Everyone was looking at each other all confused.

Meredith knew in her heart that she was the culprit, and when Madeline said this all of a sudden, she could not help but feel guilty.

When thinking about how she could fight back, Eloise stepped forward to defend her immediately.

“Vera Quinn, you really are an insidious woman. You just want to tarnish my daughter’s reputation!”

Eloise pointed at Madeline with uncontrollable anger and rebuked.

“You spent money to hire those men to kidnap Meredith and had her suffer such cruel abuse. Not only that, but you also put this matter up onto the internet to cause such a fuss, which then hurt Meredith’s reputation. I’ll seek justice for my daughter today!”

“Mom…” Meredith hugged Eloise’s arm tearfully and leaned against her very weakly. “Forget it, Mom. I don’t want to push it anymore. I don’t want Jeremy to be unhappy…”

“Jeremy, listen to this. Up to this point, Meredith still cares about you, but you!” Eloise hugged Meredith distressedly while fiercely shooting an accusatory gaze at Jeremy and Madeline. “For this vixen, you’ve allowed Meredith to be wrongly accused and haven’t even shown any concern for her. You’re not worthy of my daughter at all!”

“Jeremy, our future relatives are right. In any case, you can’t ignore Meredith. This matter must be investigated to the end!”

Mrs. Whitman seemed to be siding with Meredith.

On the other hand, Meredith cried whilst becoming more excited at this moment. “Mrs. Whitman, Mom, it’s enough that you both support me. Although I’m a victim, I really don’t intend to pursue this.”

Meredith swallowed twice and looked at Madeline.

“Miss Vera, the fault is mine. I made you unhappy. I was unlucky for what happened before. I won’t pursue this, so I also hope that you don’t anger my mother. Please…”

She cried, then looked at Jeremy again. “Jeremy, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry with me. I promise you, I’ll never mention it again. Please don’t get angry with me, alright?”

With her humble request, her tears sparkled in her eyes as her appearance at the moment was as desolate as she was.

If it were not for Meredith’s true colors which she had already seen through, Madeline felt that she would become like the people around her—impressed by Meredith’s acting skills.

“Meredith, you’re in the right, so why did you apologize?” Eloise tried her best to defend her. “They are the ones who are wrong. You’re the victim!”

Clap, clap, clap.

After watching Meredith’s performance, Madeline stretched out her hands and gently clapped.

The surrounding group of guests who were affected by Meredith’s performance cast their righteous and indignant eyes at Madeline at this moment, but at a glance, Madeline was smiling leisurely as she said, “Miss Crawford’s acting is as perfect as ever. How flawless.”

Madeline chuckled and raised her eyebrows, her eyes looking firmly ahead.

“Victim? You’re obviously the one who initiated it.”

“Vera Quinn! Even with so many people here, you dare attempt to flip the situation around?” Eloise warned severely.

Facing Eloise’s hostile gaze, Madeline suppressed her anger and smiled ironically.

“Mrs. Montgomery, the person who’s confusing the rights and wrongs is your precious daughter.”

“You…”

“I can tell you very clearly that if it wasn’t for Jeremy who asked me not to look into the matter of Meredith kidnapping me, your baby girl would already be in prison by now.”

“…” Eloise was stunned for a moment. “You! Vera Quinn, you’re a criminal pretending to be the police!”

“Mom, I didn’t. She’s slandering me.” Meredith also shook her head desperately as she quibbled, her eyes appearing weak. “Jeremy, you know I wouldn’t do such a thing!”

She looked at the guests around her with pitiful tears.
