Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Meredith stopped putting on her pitiful performance and looked at Old Master Whitman with an awkward expression on her face.

The old master’s face was solemn and his manner was imposing. “You’re a woman who meddled into another marriage and you even gave birth to a shameful illegitimate child with so much courage of your convictions. Not only are you not shameful about what you’ve done, but on the contrary, you’re proud of yourself. The Whitmans don’t have a granddaughter-in-law who doesn’t respect and love herself.”

“…” The corner of Meredith’s lips twitched as her fake gentle mask was about to crack.

Perhaps she had never expected herself to be such a character in the old master’s heart.

No wonder the old master did not like her.

Madeline saw Meredith clenching her fists. She was finding it difficult to keep up her act, and yet, she still could not drop her kind and gentle facade.

“Dad, you can’t say that. Madeline was the one who meddled in their business first. She’s the mistress! If she hadn’t come between them to plot against Jeremy, Mer and Jeremy would be married by now! Plus, she even kidnapped Jackson. You can’t ignore this!”

“I didn’t kidnap Jackson. I didn’t plot that thing three years ago as well. I’m the victim of that incident.” Madeline tried to explain.

Jeremy’s mother glared at her. “That Tanner guy has already admitted to everything about Jackson’s kidnapping incident and you have the audacity to say that you didn’t do it? You obviously plotted against Jeremy three years ago because you loved him for a very long time but couldn’t have him.

“If you didn’t plot against Jeremy, then why did he sleep with you? You guys were even photographed by the reporters. You planned everything! Madeline, you’re the most heinous and cheapest woman I’ve ever met!”

“Tanner was bribed into doing this. I don’t even know him.” When Madeline said this, she stole a glance at Meredith. After that, she looked at Jeremy. “Yes, I like Jeremy a lot, but I’ll never do such devious things to get a man just because I like him.”

She looked at Jeremy, her gaze magnanimous. Then, she smiled bitterly.

“However, I understand and see everything clearly now.”

Madeline’s words were deep. Jeremy frowned and looked at Madeline’s fake smile with a deep look on his face.

“Grandpa, thank you for your trust and support. I’m not destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Whitmans. I’ve thought it through and I want to divorce Jeremy.”

Everyone was shocked once again by what Madeline said.

Meredith was ecstatic. She could finally become the lawfully wedded wife!

Madeline saw Meredith’s delighted expression. However, when she glanced over, she saw Jeremy frowning deeply. His face was gloomy and his bottomless eyes were staring at her intensely like he was about to devour her. His eyes were deep and terrifying.

Her heartbeat accelerated when she saw this, so she quickly avoided Jeremy’s eyes.

“Dad, since she has proposed the notion of divorcing Jeremy, then you should agree to it.” Jeremy’s mother could not wait for it to happen. Meredith was also looking at her with longing in her eyes at one side.

Old Master Whitman turned a deaf ear and reached out his hand to Madeline. “Come to me.”

When Meredith and Jeremy’s mother saw this, their faces fell.

Madeline hesitated for a few seconds, then she looked at the old master’s benevolent and friendly face. Finally, she walked over.

Old Master Whitman looked at Madeline with kind eyes. “I’m going to ask you two questions,” he said with a gentle tone. “Do you really want to divorce Jeremy and stop being our family’s daughter-in-law?”

It was this question. Madeline looked at Jeremy who had a grim expression on his face. Then, she nodded. “I’m not worthy of the noble Mr. Whitman.”

After she said that, Madeline felt a cold air invading her body. She could even feel that it was coming from Jeremy.

Old Master Whitman nodded after he heard that. After he looked at Jeremy, he said humorously, “Then, did that noble Mr. Whitman sleep with you after he was forced to marry you?”
