Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 82

Madeline clutched her aching right cheek. She was confused.

“Madeline, you vile woman! You evil witch!” Eloise shrieked as she pointed at Madeline’s nose.

Madeline did not understand why she felt so horrible when she saw Eloise’s piercing gaze.

“Mrs. Montgomery, why did you hit me?” Madeline tried to keep calm but her heart was beating fiercely.

“You still have the cheek to ask me why?” Eloise pointed at Madeline furiously. “You kidnapped my grandson with another person and you bullied my precious daughter, Meredith! Now, you’re even inciting another man to make him side with you. He sent Mer a lawyer’s letter and said she deliberately assaulted someone with hot coffee!”

As she said that, she threw the letter angrily at Madeline’s face.

“Madeline, you’re such an evil woman! Thank god your parents died early, if not, they’d die from shame! If you’re my daughter, I would have kicked you out of the family!”

As Madeline heard Eloise yelling at her, each one of her words stabbed in her heart like shards of glass.

She understood now. Eloise came all the way here to vent for her precious daughter, Meredith.

Heh.

What a great mother. She did not know the truth nor what happened. However, mothers would always believe their children unconditionally, right?

Madeline felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She felt as if her heart had been clenched by an invisible hand. She felt so horrible that it hurt when she breathed.

“Madeline, I’m warning you, don’t think you can go anything just because you have people backing you up! I’ll do double to you what you did to Mer and my grandson!”

Eloise pointed at Madeline with her warning. Then, she turned around with a dark expression on her face.

“I thought they just have the same name, but I didn’t expect her to be that Madeline Crawford.”

“She’s the one who stole her boyfriend and caused her sister to miscarry.”

“Tch, are we going to work with someone like this from now on?”

Madeline could hear her colleagues gossiping about her. She stood at the door of the office. She felt so embarrassed she did not know where she should go.

Why was her life so difficult?

She was so tired.

She wanted to have parents as well so that she could lean on them when she was sad and vulnerable.

However, aside from her sickness and infamy, she had nothing.

Tears rolled down her cheeks quietly as she bent down to pick up the letter. She did not expect Felipe to really sue Meredith.

It was fine. She did assault them. Felipe did nothing wrong.

…

A good deed goes unnoticed, but a scandal spreads fast.

Madeline was like a joke during this entire afternoon. People from other departments kept dropping by to look at her. They wanted to see what a vile and plagiarizing twit-face looked like.

Madeline felt she would not have the chance to get involved with Elizabeth’s project since everyone refused to trust her. However, Elizabeth said righteously, “Everyone makes mistakes. It’s fine if you’re willing to change. This project is very important, so everyone has to work together.”

She purposely walked to Madeline’s side and encouraged her. “Madeline, do your best. Don’t disappoint me.”

Even though Madeline was curious about Elizabeth’s sudden change toward her, when it came to work, she would not dare to be negligent.

Her colleagues’ attitude toward her changed slightly as well. Madeline knew they were just doing this for the sake of Elizabeth. However, no matter what it was, life still goes on and she had to be serious about her work. Besides, Madeline was fond of this job.

It was time to get off work and her colleagues started packing to go home. Madeline took a sip of water and continued her work.

Elizabeth walked out of her office and saw Madeline still here. “You’re not going home?”

Madeline lifted her head. “I want to finish the draft for the bracelet.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You can finish it at home. It’s pointless to pretend to be hardworking here,” Elizabeth said coldly and rolled her eyes.
