Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 47

Meredith had become one of the socialites from the four major rich families in Glendale. If they crossed

her, they might not be able to keep staying here. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She did not want Ava to get into trouble because of her.

After pondering about her painful experience, Madeline decided to start over.

She could only avenge herself and her dead child if she rose from the brambles.

Two days later, Madeline went to work in her new company.

Some of the wounds on her face had not healed yet, so Madeline used some concealer to hide the

bruises.

The moment she arrived at her office, before she could even sit down, she was called over by Eve

Garcia—her superior.

Eve looked like a strong and powerful businesswoman. She was dressed in the trendiest outfit and was

beautiful. However, she had a resting b*tch face, so she looked dead serious. This made Madeline

extremely nervous. She was worried that she would mess things up and fail her probation.

However, Eve was courteous to her. She told Madeline she could take her time and that she did not

need to worry too much about things.

Madeline thought her superior was cold on the outside and warm on the inside. It was just that she was

serious in speech and manner. When they were having lunch in the cafeteria, Madeline saw her sitting

with a few of their female colleagues with a smirk of disdain on her face.

“Madeline is such a useless piece of trash. She can’t do anything right. If the boss hadn’t told me to

hire her, I wouldn’t even want to look at her.”

Madeline’s heart started racing.

Who was the boss Eve was talking about? She recalled seeing Meredith in front of the office building.

Was this company under the Montgomerys?

“Someone who has been incarcerated, used to work as a call girl, and plagiarized other people’s work

is in our department. I feel so disgusted! A woman like her even wants to take part in the design of our

department. Aren’t they worried that she’ll tarnish our work?” Eve said in contempt. The sarcasm in her

voice was completely different from her polite attitude earlier.

However, what she said made Madeline even more sure that this company was related to Meredith.

Meredith was the only person in the world who would talk bad about her and smear her name.

Despite being heartless, Jeremy would not do something so stupid and meaningless.

She knew how it felt to have a million arrows penetrate her heart, so Madeline was calm when she was

faced with this kind of slander.

Madeline walked over and the two women eating with Eve saw her approaching. They stopped

awkwardly and made eyes at Eve.

However, Eve kept on cursing and swearing, “I heard in order to climb into Mr. Whitman’s bed, that

shameless woman even drugged him. How cheap! I, personally, can’t bring myself to do that kind of

thing. Only a prostitute like her would do something so shameless!”

She continued rambling. Suddenly, she noticed her colleague’s expressions were off. She turned

around in puzzlement and saw Madeline standing behind her.

Eve froze, then said in dissatisfaction, “Have you finished the things I asked you to do? Why are you

standing behind me like a dead person?”

Madeline smiled calmly. “Nothing. I just want to see how a shameful woman like you can put on one act

in front of a person and then put on another act behind them. Did you talk bad about these two in front

of other colleagues as well?”

After she said that, the faces of the two women sitting with Eve turned dark. Eve’s face had also fallen.

She leaped up and was agitated. “Madeline, what are you saying? Do you still want to work here?”

It was lunchtime and there were a lot of employees in the cafeteria. Everyone was looking over at

them.

Madeline calmly removed the work pass in front of her chest and threw it on Eve’s face. “No, I don’t

want to work here anymore.”

“You…” Eve’s face turned green. She pointed at Madeline but could not say anything.

Madeline turned around carefreely and saw two people standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. It was

Meredith and Eloise.

Madeline only had resentment toward Meredith. However, when she saw Eloise, not only did she not

mind Eloise misunderstanding her, but she even felt a kind of close and dear connection with her.

However, Eloise was looking at her with so much contempt in her eyes.

Madeline felt her heart sinking without a reason. In order to prevent any more unwanted trouble, she

decided to walk away. However, when she got to the door, Meredith stopped her.

“Maddie, don’t be like this. I know you need a job now. I spent so much time begging Mom to let you

have a job here. Don’t throw childish tantrums. Go back to your work please.”
