Chapter 2015
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Hearing what Madeline asked and seeing the content that Madeline was referring to, Hannah was certain that Madeline had already known what Hannah had done!
Hannahâs expression changed drastically, her face turning pale and red, seemingly mortified.
Madeline calmly looked at Hannah. âAt the time, Jeremy reminded you, didnât he? He told you to leave my laboratory as soon as possible and to not touch anything in there, but you still did.â
Hannah, not wanting to be convicted just like that, gritted her teeth and argued.
âWhat did I touch? Eveline, donât try to wrongfully accuse me again!â
âYou know very well whether Iâve wronged you. The surveillance in my laboratory captured it very clearly too. Why? Do you want to verify it?â

At the mention of the surveillance, Hannah was momentarily speechless.
She stared at the calm and composed Madeline, and Hannah felt powerless to argue. As such, she simply let go of all pretenses.
âEveline, youâve known it for a long time, so why are you playing tricks on me like this? You were also fooling me by keeping me by your side to help you, werenât you?â
âDidnât you stay by my side because you want to see me make a fool out of myself?
Madeline asked with a smile with an unsurprised smile.
âYouâre just disappointed by the outcome of this.â
âYouâ¦â
âHannah, how can you be so naive?â
â .â When Hannah heard Madeline calling her naive, her face fell. However, before she could make a bigger scene, she heard Madelineâs calm explanation.
âYou canât change this data just because you want to.â Madeline smiled and lifted her finger to tap her head softly. âIâve recorded the data here.â

âEven if I had forgotten, Iâd definitely notice somethingâs wrong with the perfume before I handed them to the client. The client would never have gotten their hands on the problematic perfume.
Do you think a huge company like Whitman Corporation would allow someone to take advantage of a loophole like this?â
Upon hearing that, Hannah was completely stunned. She also completely understood that she was the prey.
She had felt pleased with herself thinking that she would be able to see Madeline panic, but she had not expected that she was the laughingstock all along.
She neither got the person she wanted nor witnessed the drama she wanted. The more Hannah thought about this, the angrier and more unconvinced she felt.
Hannahâs eyes gradually turned aggressive as she glared at Madeline. Suddenly, out of humiliation, she flew into a rage and lifted her hand to hit Madeline.
However, before she could land a strike, Jeremy grabbed her arm.
The manâs austere and cold eyes pierced her like a sharp sword. Shocked, Hannah glanced at him, and then she felt as if she had been assassinated and her whole body shuddered violently.
âGet lost,â Jeremy parted his lips and said coldly before swinging Hannahâs arm away.
Hannah stumbled backward and staggered a few steps as her back crashed into the shelf behind her.
She looked at Jeremyâs cold gaze, feeling extremely aggrieved in her heart.
âI now know that you two have been colluding with one other. Youâve just been waiting to see me make a fool out of myself!â Hannah roared out. âMr.
Whitman, I like you so much, and I gave myself to you, but I didnât think that youâd be so cruel!â
After hearing this, Jeremyâs gaze darkened.
âEven though you colluded with Carter to harm me, I didnât even look into it, so why are you still playing the victim? Do you think youâre very innocent and pitiful?â
Jeremyâs alluring eyes were filled with disdain. âNo, youâre not pitiful. Youâre hateful.â
Hatefulâ¦
Hannah had never expected Jeremy to use this word to describe her.
