Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 100

When Madeline said that, the expressions of those colleagues, including Elizabeth, changed. They

were looking at Madeline as if they were looking at something unusual.

“This woman, aren’t you too vicious!” Several female colleagues said contemptuously.

“What kind of bad luck does Meredith have to encounter such a nutjob. She’s always targeting her

everywhere.”

“Exactly. Not only you’ve stolen someone else’s boyfriend, you still went and troubled Meredith, even

saying that you’d want to kill her. That’s really sick!”

“We should stay away from her, lest she goes crazy and implicates us.”

Madeline sat in her seat silently, listening to the words being deliberately said to her.

She did not speak and just stood up.

Seeing her move, the female colleagues who had been speaking the truths and lies about her hurriedly

ran away, for fear of what Madeline would do to them.

Madeline found the scene funny. Then, she headed out.

She went to Felipe and seeing that Madeline had come, Felipe greeted her and asked her to take a

seat very politely.

He raised his gaze and noticed Madeline’s haggard face and the two deep, red knife marks on her right

cheek. Felipe was shocked.

“What happened?” He asked, out of genuine concern.

Madeline smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine, Mr. Whitman. I came here to tell you that I want to

resign.”

“Resign?” Felipe looked at Madeline uncertainly. “Why?”

“I don’t want to affect the operation of the entire department with my presence. Mr. Whitman should

have seen some of the negative comments about me recently?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Hearing what Madeline had said, Felipe looked to have understood something.

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, for taking care and helping me during this time. I will pack up and leave

immediately.”

“Madeline.”

Felipe stopped Madeline who had just turned to leave.

“I believe you, you don’t need to resign.”

Madeline’s footsteps halted, her eyes warming slightly.

I believe you.

She had been so eager to hear this sentence in the past few years.

She had finally heard it, but it was not from Jeremy’s mouth.

“For the company’s annual meeting this Friday night, you and I will attend it.”

Madeline looked at the man with surprise. The wound on her face was aching.

What right did she have to stand beside this outstanding man with this face?

Madeline immediately refused, but Felipe was persistent.

After getting off work, Madeline wrapped her cheeks tightly with a scarf and did not dare look up at

anybody.

It was in a girl’s nature to love beauty. Even though she had no longer cared for her appearance early

on, yet no girl could ever accept that her face was disfigured.

Madeline covered her cheeks and returned to her residence. As soon as she was about to enter, she

saw a familiar car parked at the gate.

Her feet seemed to have been filled with lead in that instant and she could no longer move. Her

heartbeat instantly lost its normal frequency, beating restlessly.

The car window lowered, revealing Jeremy’s handsome side profile. Madeline hid behind the pillar in

horror, her face pale.

Thinking of the fluttering white snow the other day, with him in front of her like a demon, the scene of

him smashing their own daughter’s ashes, Madeline bit her lips and her hands trembled violently.

Now that he was here again, she could no longer withstand such torture and injury.

Madeline kept waiting for Jeremy to leave, but he never left.

As the sky darkened, Madeline finally left after seeing Jeremy answer a call.
