The air in the car plunged into sudden silence. Madeline laughed bitterly in exhaustion.

“Jeremy, even if you don’t believe me, what about Grandpa? He’s a wise man with a lot of experience in life. If I’m such a battered person, then why did he agree to let me marry you? Why would he take care of me and give Meredith the cold shoulder?”

She thought Jeremy would ponder about this, but the moment she stopped talking, he laughed.

“You know clearly why you got to marry me and why Meredith gets the cold shoulder from Grandpa.”

He was obviously saying that Madeline was secretly inciting disharmony between Old Master Whitman and Meredith.

However, he never thought about how a woman like Meredith who willingly became a mistress was already problematic.

“Madeline, stop acting. I’m going to take you to see Grandpa now. I’ll let him see your true self.”

Madeline smiled bitterly. She did not want to explain herself anymore.

Her existence had become a lie that was wicked beyond redemption.
