Chapter 505

Chupse…

With Meredith’s unconstrained roar came her confession, pulling the entire courthouse into a silence.

Meredith’s eyes were bloodshot as she panted. She realized that she had misspoken!

She had just confessed to killing Brittany Montgomery!

Meredith’s attorney stared at her in a daze, slowly growing cold.

“So it was you, Meredith Crawford! You murderer! Murderer!” Diana broke down and screamed.

Meredith balled her fists as her eyes flashed.

Jeremy stared indifferently at Meredith’s ugly appearance, his tone unfazed. “You’re right, Meredith Crawford. You did delete the video, but I also had a skilled technician recover it for me.”

“…” Meredith stared at Jeremy at a loss, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Why? Why must you do this to me, Jeremy? I’m the woman you love the most! You promised you’d protect me forever so why are you helping that b*tch Madeline and framing me instead? Why?!”

Jeremy’s eyes sharpened at her ostentatious accusations. “Stop pretending. It won’t work anymore.

You know exactly who the woman I’ve been in love with this entire time is, Meredith Crawford.”

“…”

“In addition to Brittany Montgomery, you’ll face consequences for the life of Madeline’s grandfather very soon as well.”

Meredith rushed out of the witness stand at Jeremy’s aloof words but was quickly held back by the court police.

As she struggled, Meredith glared and bellowed at Madeline.

“Madeline, you btch! I’ll never forgive you for this! I’ll haunt you even as a ghost, so don’t even think about spending forever with Jeremy! I’ll curse you and your bstard child! You will all die painful deaths!”

Jeremy’s lips were pressed into a cold line as he felt his anger burst at Meredith’s curse.

Eloise could no longer hold herself back.

“Are you even human, Meredith? You’d be dead by now had Madeline not donated her stem cells for you! Not only do you repay her with hatred but you framed Madeline for your crimes too! You will pay for this!”

“I’ll pull that b*tch down with me even if I die! Just you wait, Madeline. Just you wait—”

Meredith screeched and flailed like a madman.

Madeline stared back calmly. She had long gotten used to it. The world would have no humans left if curses like that came true.

With Meredith subdued by the court police, the judge ruled Meredith guilty of murder with an extra charge of malicious falsehood.

As Brittany’s murder was too gruesome and she was also convicted of the deliberate murder of Len Samuels, Meredith was given the death penalty. Attempts of an appeal were denied, and the penalty was to be carried out in a month’s time.

The court was adjourned and Madeline exited the courthouse to bask in the warmth of the early spring sun. A relieved smile graced her features.

Her eyes shone as she looked at the sky.

‘You can rest now, Grandfather. The person who killed you is finally being held accountable.

‘Thank you for taking care of and protecting me during those ten years.

‘I would never have made it here now if not for you.’

“Eveline, Eveline!”
