Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 40

Madeline was being held in the lockup. Two days later, she finally met Jeremy.

It was the same meeting room as last time. However, she looked even more battered than before. On the other hand, the man looked even angrier than last time.

He was like a demon from hell. The moment he came in, he grabbed Madeline’s collar as his icy gaze almost penetrated her like an ice sword.

“Madeline, what did I warn you about? Is it so hard to live a quiet life? Do you have to look for death?”

“Jeremy, I didn’t push her. Meredith was the one who purposely let go of my hand after grabbing me! You can look at the security footage if you don’t believe me! There must be security cameras in that shop! Jeremy, you’ll know the truth after you see it!” Madeline was holding onto the last chance at life. She kept on emphasizing her words.

“The truth is you pushed Mer! It’s clear as day on the security footage!”

What?

Meredith was stunned. Her mind went blank.

Jeremy showed her the footage. Madeline did not expect that this angle really made it look like she was the one who pushed Meredith.

All of her explanations had turned into lies.

She had nothing to say in front of this ‘evidence’ that was presented to her.

The fire in Jeremy’s eyes burnt Madeline’s heart.

“Madeline, what do you have to say for yourself now? Mer lost her child. Are you happy now?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

She could not believe this.

Meredith really lost her child?

Madeline clutched her stomach subconsciously. The feeling of doom became more and more intense. She looked at the man’s furious face and tried to explain herself. “Jeremy, I really didn’t push her. I didn’t push her this time and I also didn’t push her the last time. These are all traps she set for me!”

“Heh.” Jeremy scoffed when he heard that. That scary smile caused Madeline to shiver. “Meredith lost her child and you’re still trying to accuse her of framing you? Madeline, how can there be such a filthy, lowly, cruel, and evil woman like you?”

When he was saying that, he was grinding his teeth.

His deep hatred and resentment were evident.

“Not only did you hurt Mer, but you even have the nerve to plagiarize other people’s work to scam others for money. Madeline, don’t even think about seeing the sunrise tomorrow. I’ll let you wish you’re dead.”

After he said that, he pushed Madeline away before leaving. His malicious eyes peered at Madeline deviously. Aside from hatred, there was more hatred in his eyes.

Madeline wanted to get up after she was thrown to the ground. However, the pain in her stomach stopped her from doing so.

She grabbed Jeremy’s pants with all her might when she saw that he was about to leave.

“Jeremy, why are you so cruel to me? I’m carrying your child too!”

“Then you should bury that b*stard child in your stomach along with Mer’s child!” Jeremy said angrily. Then, he kicked Madeline’s hand that was holding his pants.

Madeline’s vision was blurred by her tears instantly. She was curled into a ball on the cold cement floor.

It was the winter in December, but it was not as cold and bone-piercing as the words that came out of his mouth.

Hot tears rolled down her cheeks, causing Madeline’s vision to turn grey.

Everyone said happiness was like falling leaves on a mountain. Some people would get more, some people would get lesser, while she might not even have the chance to get some.

…

Indeed, Madeline was convicted.

Plagiarism, infringement of rights, and an assault that led to a miscarriage.

She had to serve time for all of her crimes at the same time. Without a lawyer, Madeline was sentenced to three years in prison.
