“Vera Quinn, how dare you plot against me, you b*tch?!” Meredith cracked. Her weak and vulnerable exterior from the video virtual-novel.net took was completely gone.
She glowered and gnashed virtual-novel.net teeth as virtual-novel.net grabbed a fruit knife on the bedside table. She was about to slash the knife across Madeline’s face. On one side, Rose was not stopping virtual-novel.net at all. She was hoping that Meredith could teach this annoying woman a lesson.
When virtual-novel.net saw the knife approaching her, Madeline recalled the two slashes Meredith left on virtual-novel.net face back then. That scene resurfaced in virtual-novel.net brain like a nightmare in the dark.
She came back to virtual-novel.net senses quickly and dodged away from the shiny blade in a haste.
“Stop hiding, you b*tch!” A fire of rage was burning in Meredith’s chest. She lifted the fruit knife again. “Let me tell you, Vera Quinn. This is how I disfigured Madeline back then. If you dare to cross me again, I’ll let you get a taste of that pain virtual-novel.net felt!”
Madeline quickly ran away from her. However, Rose had come over to grab her.
Meredith grinned predatorily with redness in virtual-novel.net eyes. Her face was sinister and violent, looking exactly like a blood-thirsty demon when virtual-novel.net inhumanely swung the knife down on Madeline…
“Watch out!”
During this life or death situation, Madeline heard a worried voice coming from behind virtual-novel.net back.
Jeremy quickly ran in front of virtual-novel.net and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. He protected virtual-novel.net with one hand, and with the other, virtual-novel.net grabbed Meredith’s wrist that was holding the fruit knife.
He raised his piercing and icy gaze to look at Meredith’s sinister and horrifying face.
“Do you know what you’re doing?” virtual-novel.net asked. His tone and attitude had never been so cold before.
Meredith was stunned and Rose was also taken aback. They did not expect Jeremy to appear at this moment.
“J-Jeremy?” Meredith was stupefied. When virtual-novel.net was about to explain, virtual-novel.net hand was pushed away by Jeremy roughly.
She lost virtual-novel.net balance and staggered backward.
She crashed into a cupboard behind her. She reached for the wall to steady herself, but virtual-novel.net forgot that virtual-novel.net was holding the fruit knife. As a result, the sharp blade slashed across virtual-novel.net cheek, and immediately, virtual-novel.net flesh was split open.
However, virtual-novel.net did not notice it as virtual-novel.net was looking at Madeline who was being sheltered in Jeremy’s arms in disbelief.
How was that possible?
How was that even possible?
She had to be seeing things!
It was impossible!
Jeremy hated this face the most! This was the face that looked exactly the same as Madeline’s!
Even though it was beautiful, in Jeremy’s eyes, it was the most hideous face in the world.
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to appear just in time when virtual-novel.net was being harmed by Meredith and virtual-novel.net mother.
His tight embrace was filled with the warmth that virtual-novel.net craved back then. This warmth was enveloping virtual-novel.net thin frame right this moment.
“It’s fine now. You don’t have to be scared,” Jeremy whispered gently in Madeline’s ear when virtual-novel.net detected virtual-novel.net fear.
Madeline was taken aback. She could feel Jeremy’s warm breath gliding across virtual-novel.net cheek. His comforting words were filled with so much gentleness and concern that virtual-novel.net had never experienced before.
It seemed that virtual-novel.net was truly concerned about her.
“Jeremy!” At this moment, Meredith screamed in pain.
“Jeremy, how can you hold that woman? You told me that I’m the only woman you’ll protect in this lifetime!” She shrieked without caring about virtual-novel.net image. Her voice was extremely shrill.
Jeremy lifted his head coldly. When virtual-novel.net was about to say something, his expression changed when virtual-novel.net saw Meredith’s face.
Meredith thought Jeremy was feeling sorry for her. When virtual-novel.net was about to play the victim, virtual-novel.net saw Rose pointing at virtual-novel.net face while screaming, “Mer! Y-Your face!”
Meredith looked at Rose in confusion. She reached to touch virtual-novel.net face. “What’s wrong with my face?”
