Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 175

Madeline’s next words rained on Meredith’s parade very quickly. “Yes, I’m obviously referring to your mother.”

“What?” Meredith looked like she had been slapped in the face. “What does this have to do with my mom?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yesterday, your mother came to my shop to buy two sets of jewelry for you.” Madeline explained calmly.

Meredith finally understood, but she had lost her smile.

Looking at the scene, Eloise and Sean exchanged a look. “What did Meredith call Madeline? Miss Quinn?”

Sean was also filled with doubt, not knowing what was happening. The moment they saw Madeline face Meredith, the two of them immediately walked over as they were afraid that Madeline would do something to Meredith.

Upon walking closer, they heard Jeremy say to Madeline, “Since you’re here, come in and have something to eat.”

“No! How can we let that woman into our home?!” Sean hurriedly shouted.

Madeline ignored the wave of hurt and continued smiling while looking toward the source of the voice.

In front of her were her mother and father, but they were staring at her with even more intense hatred than three years ago.

Madeline suspected that she must have accumulated a lot of bad karma to warrant being tortured so much in this life.

“These two must be Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery? Let me introduce myself, I’m Vera Quinn.” She smiled as she offered her name card.

Eloise and Sean looked over the name card before sizing Madeline up with a suspicious gaze once more.

“You’re not Madeline? How could that be? How could two people look so alike?” Eloise mumbled.

Sean had his doubts as well. “You’re called Vera?”

“Yes.” Madeline nodded earnestly. “This is my first time in Glendale.”

“Impossible!” Eloise denied it, staring at Madeline. “How could there be two people who look so similar in this world?”

“There are many miracles in the world. I heard that the two of you managed to find your long lost daughter after over 20 years, isn’t that a miracle as well?” Madeline asked with a smile.

Eloise did not know what to say to that and merely smiled coldly. “Madeline, stop lying! You never died! Back then, you were just putting on a show for us in order to ruin Jeremy and Meredith’s engagement! With your sudden appearance today as well, it’s obvious you’re trying to do the same thing. Madeline, you’ve never changed. How despicable…”

“Enough.” Jeremy suddenly interrupted angrily, his tone extremely harsh.

Eloise was shocked into silence and looked at Jeremy in surprise. She saw that Jeremy’s face was ice- cold as if a layer of frost had formed over his features.

“I don’t want to hear anything like that again.” He looked at the innocent-looking Madeline. “They’re clearly two different people. You should be careful of how you speak. Respect others and respect yourself as well.”

“Mom, Dad, Jeremy’s right. Miss Vera really isn’t Madeline. Madeline left us forever three years ago…” Meredith faked a tear when she said that. Then, she introduced them, saying, “Mom, Dad, she’s Vera Quinn. I’ve met her before. She’s completely different from Madeline and they’re clearly separate people.”

Eloise and Sean’s expressions changed as they apologized to Madeline. “Since Meredith and Jeremy have said so, then it must be true. Please forgive us, Miss Quinn.”

Meredith smiled. “I’m already quite used to this.”

Eloise and Sean paused awkwardly. “Since Miss Vera is friends with Jeremy and Meredith, then please come inside and witness Jeremy’s proposal to Meredith.”

“Very well.” Madeline smiled, sending a meaningful look toward Meredith. “This is the present I picked out for Miss Montgomery. I prepared it in a bit of a rush, but I hope you’ll like it.”
