After Madeline said that, the air around them froze instantly. The only sound that could be heard was the autumn wind howling on the roof. It was blowing past their faces again and again.
Eloise’s expression changed as virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline in disbelief. “W-What did you say? What did you just say?”
Sean also strode toward Madeline at this moment. He was looking at virtual-novel.net with a questioning gaze. “What nonsense are you spewing? My biological daughter is here. She’s well and alive! How can you curse virtual-novel.net by saying that she’s been dead for three years?!”
Madeline smiled sarcastically before letting go of Eloise’s hand. “I’m not cursing your precious daughter. I’m just repeating what was said,” virtual-novel.net said calmly while pointing at Rose.
“I heard virtual-novel.net saying this with my own two ears. She said your daughter has been dead since three years ago.”
“What?”
Eloise and Sean looked at Rose in disbelief.
“Nonsense!” Rose denied. Despite feeling frantic, virtual-novel.net did not show it. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, don’t be fooled by this woman. I’ve never said such things!”
“Vera Quinn, why are you slandering my adoptive mother? What do you want? Are you saying that I’m not my parents’ biological daughter? Are you trying to push me to my death by saying that?” Meredith yelled emotionally.
When Rose saw this, virtual-novel.net said frantically, “Mer, don’t be emotional. Come down now. If anything happens to you, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery will be so upset.”
When Eloise and Sean heard that, they looked at Meredith worriedly. On the other hand, Meredith shook virtual-novel.net head with a sad and dispirited look on virtual-novel.net face. “Mom, Dad, do you believe this woman’s words? Do you think I’m not your biological daughter? Is that why you don’t care about me anymore? Alright, fine…”
She laughed bitterly while feeling like all hope was lost. “Jeremy is ignoring me and you don’t care about me anymore. So why should I keep on living…”
Meredith turned around after virtual-novel.net said that. She took a step closer to the edge.
“Mer! No! I believe you! Why wouldn’t I believe you and instead believe someone else?” Eloise screamed. Her face had turned pale from fear.
“You silly child! Why wouldn’t we care about you? Don’t do anything stupid!” Sean yelled to try and stop her. His voice was thick with worry. He was also petrified.
Madeline’s heart went cold when virtual-novel.net saw Eloise and Sean’s reactions.
They would still choose to believe Meredith even after virtual-novel.net had told them the truth.
Her pink lips were tugged into a smile as virtual-novel.net laughed in self-mockery.
‘Maybe it’s my face that’s making me look so untrustworthy, be it back then or in the present.’
“Vera Quinn, stop inciting disharmony! Get out of here now! If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll never forgive you!” Eloise yelled with anger in virtual-novel.net eyes, “Scram!”
Madeline looked into Eloise’s enraged eyes. Although virtual-novel.net was smiling softly, virtual-novel.net did not leave and instead, walked closer to Meredith.
“Stop!” Sean roared at her. His tone was strict when virtual-novel.net said, “If you dare to trigger my baby, I’ll make you regret this!”
After virtual-novel.net finished saying that, Madeline stopped. She looked at the pretentious Meredith with virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes.
“Meredith, your acting skills are so good. It’s such a waste that you didn’t go into showbiz.”
Meredith widened virtual-novel.net red eyes aggrievedly. “Vera, w-what do you mean?”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Madeline scoffed and questioned, “Don’t you want to jump? Hurry up. Don’t waste our time.”
“What did you say, you b*tch?” Rose was the first one to run forward. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, look at this woman! She’s so evil! She’s provoking Mer so that she’ll jump!”
“Vera Quinn!” Eloise yanked Madeline’s arm furiously. “Vera Quinn, you witch! You’re just as cruel as Madeline!”
