Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 17

The man’s cold accusations rained down on Madeline. and she felt extremely ironic. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Weren't you already aware about it. Mr. Whitman?”

Madeline’s answer enraged Jeremy even more. He lifted her chin angrily as he glared at her with his bottomless. black eyes that were filled with anger.

“So. you went to look for your old flame. hmm?”

‘Old flame? He must be referring to Daniel.”

Daniel had once been Jeremy's classmate. They were two years older than her and had been her seniors.

When Daniel confessed to Madeline during their graduation ceremony. everyone in school thought that they began dating afterward.

Madeline did not know that Jeremy had believed those rumors as well.

“Madeline. I'm telling you, even if I were to kick you out one day, don’t think that you can run away to other men. I want to see who dares pick up trash I’ve used before!”

Trash.

He was describing her with such words.

Madeline's heart was hurting. She pushed away the man with force that she did not know she had.

“Jeremy. just because you're not loyal to this marriage. it doesn't mean that I'd have an affair like you! I’ve only had one man this entire time and it’s you! So, not only have you humiliated me with your words. but you've also humiliated yourself!”

After she said that, Madeline quickly ran back to her room.

On the other hand. Jeremy stood on the spot: the emptiness in his arms somehow made him fall into a daze. He lifted his head to look at Madeline’s back and frowned gently. The moonlight shone down on his face. and his expression was unclear.

Madeline went to work as usual. However, the moment she stepped into the office, she was called over by the human resources department.

Her manager gave her a resignation letter immediately. and Madeline was confused.

Nevertheless. he only said coldly, “Our company does not welcome light-fingered people.”

Madeline understood that it was the result of the video of her having ‘stolen’ being put online.

She had had the evidence to prove her innocence. However, Jeremy had destroyed it overtly.

Now, she was merely a shameless thief in everyone's eyes.

Madeline felt wronged and furious. However, there was nothing she could do.

In Glendale. anything would go Jeremy’s way if he opened his mouth.

Nevertheless, he would never help her. He even wished for her to disappear forever.

Madeline brought her resume to a few other company interviews, but they each rejected her without hesitation.

Furthermore. perhaps it was a figment of her imagination. but she felt unwell. From time to time. she felt pain coming from her abdomen.

Madeline was worried about her child. so she went to the hospital for a check up immediately.

There were many people in the hospital. While waiting for her results, Madeline looked at the pregnant ladies that had husbands by their sides and felt envious.

She did not even dare fantasize about Jeremy coming with her for a maternity checkup one day.

It was virtually impossible.

“Oh? Well. if it isn’t Maddie.” Meredith’s voice was suddenly heard.

Madeline lifted her head and saw Meredith in a loose shirt. She was smiling at her gently.

“You're here for your maternity check up as well? Is Jeremy not here with you?”

Meredith was all smiles. She looked naive and harmless.

Madeline felt a pang in her heart, but she did not want to show her weakness. “Jeremy’s not with you too. He'll know about that bastard child in your stomach sooner or later.”

Meredith's expression changed abruptly as she became unhappy. However. in the blink of an eye. she smiled and felt pleased with herself as she said, “Oh, you mean Jeremy? He’s helping me take my results now.”
