Indeed, the reason virtual-novel.net could get this job so easily was because of Meredith pulling some strings behind the scenes.
However, Madeline was not an idiot. How would Meredith be so kind?
“Stop pretending. You don’t feel disgusted, but I do.” She pushed away Meredith’s hand that was trying to reach out to virtual-novel.net in contempt.
Meredith tilted virtual-novel.net body as if virtual-novel.net was too weak and fragile. Then, virtual-novel.net leaned against Eloise.
Eloise saw that virtual-novel.net precious daughter was being bullied, so virtual-novel.net walked over to Madeline in agitation and shielded Meredith behind her.
“Madeline, don’t be blind to what’s good for you! If Mer hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let a person like you work in my company!” Eloise said angrily.
“Even though you’re not Mer’s biological sister, virtual-novel.net never bickered with you despite you bullying virtual-novel.net relentlessly. She was even so thoughtful of you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to bite the hand that feeds you!”
It was this same phrase again.
Madeline was about to change virtual-novel.net perspective about that idiom now.
Until now, virtual-novel.net had no idea what benevolence Meredith had given to her. Meredith only gave virtual-novel.net pain and more pain.
When Madeline saw Eloise protecting Meredith while scolding her, virtual-novel.net felt another pang of pain in virtual-novel.net heart.
“It’s fine, Mom. I can emphasize with Maddie. She has never had parents ever since virtual-novel.net was young, so that’s why virtual-novel.net views are a bit skewed. Please don’t be mad at her,” Meredith grabbed Eloise’s hand and said in an understanding manner.
Madeline was tired of explaining herself. She rolled virtual-novel.net eyes and said, “How disgusting.”
Eloise’s face fell. When virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Meredith stopped virtual-novel.net again.
“Maddie, if you’ll feel better after yelling at me, then you should go ahead. I know you’ve suffered so much during the three years in prison.” Meredith was speaking so sensibly. She even said to the employees in the cafeteria, “Maddie did a lot of bad things in the past, but everyone makes mistakes. Plus, virtual-novel.net has served virtual-novel.net time and has atoned for virtual-novel.net mistakes. I hope you guys won’t judge her. I’m thanking all of you in advance.”
It was such a two-faced performance, but after virtual-novel.net said that, every employee started praising Meredith’s magnanimous behavior. Eloise was also looking at virtual-novel.net daughter with a proud expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Someone even praised Meredith for having the manner of a young lady from a noble family.
Madeline wanted to vomit when virtual-novel.net heard that.
There were so many employees in the company. How many of them knew Madeline? After Meredith announced virtual-novel.net past, virtual-novel.net was forced to be labeled as despicable and shameless.
Some of them exclaimed about how virtual-novel.net had served time.
A woman who had served time was not good.
Madeline was so disgusted that virtual-novel.net left without turning back. It was as if everyone in the room was blind, deaf, or out of their minds. They could not see the wonderful performance that Meredith was putting on.
She packed virtual-novel.net bags to leave the office. However, when virtual-novel.net got to the door, virtual-novel.net was stopped. “Madeline.”
She stopped and turned around to see Meredith smirking widely at her.
“Tch.” Meredith scoffed. “When did you become so weak? Are you really going to resign and not work here? Do you think you can find jobs in other places after you step out of this door?”
Her words reminded Madeline of the reality of it all.
No wonder virtual-novel.net kept running into walls when virtual-novel.net was looking for a job. Meredith was the one behind it.
“It’s you, right?”
“Right, it’s me. I told everyone in all industries that there will be a woman named Madeline Crawford. I told them that you’ve been to prison for plagiarism before and whoever hires you will be slapped with a lawsuit.”
Her nonchalant attitude lit the fire of anger in Madeline’s chest.
However, virtual-novel.net was not rash. She only asked calmly, “Meredith, the way of heaven is fair, and the guilty will not escape. Your evil conduct will be exposed one day.”
“Tch.” Meredith snorted. “Madeline, don’t be stupid. Do you still believe the myth of evil can never prevail over good? If that was true, you wouldn’t have been convicted of plagiarism three years ago. I only had to say that you plagiarized and in the end, you were indeed caught plagiarizing.”
While virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net fiddled with the diamond ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger.
