Madeline was very calm when virtual-novel.net spoke, but the aura virtual-novel.net eyes exuded was abnormally domineering.
Hannah was a little stunned at the sight of the cold expression on Madeline’s face. Hannah pursed virtual-novel.net lips together, but virtual-novel.net spoke not a single word. Since virtual-novel.net first interaction with Madeline, virtual-novel.net had felt that Madeline was a soft and gentle young mistress from a rich family. Madeline looked calm and collected no matter the circumstances. Tonight, however, Madeline was very different.
Her eyes and virtual-novel.net temperament looked extraordinarily stern.
Hannah had to admit that virtual-novel.net was frightened by this aura.
“Do you know what you had just said in front of the client?” Madeline questioned virtual-novel.net coldly.
Hannah, stunned upon hearing that, then quickly recalled how virtual-novel.net had introduced herself to that client named Mr. Sutton. She had said that virtual-novel.net was Jeremy’s person.
Despite virtual-novel.net uneasiness, Hannah, still displeased with Madeline’s attitude, sneered arrogantly and disdainfully.
“What did I say? Was I wrong? Mr. Whitman and I are indeed…”
“You colluded with Carter shamelessly from the start and attempted to do something to my husband. After achieving your goals, you repeatedly address yourself as my husband’s person without shame.”
Madeline paused for a moment as virtual-novel.net spoke. Her eyes, brimming with disdain, scanned Hannah’s face that was gradually turning red from embarrassment.
“We’re both women, and I’m already looking down on you regarding this.”
“…”
“What further shocked me was that you even have the audacity to come to the company to make a fuss. Hmph…”
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net cold and charming eyes then chuckled as virtual-novel.net looked at Hannah.
“Now that it has come to this, do you really think that you’re a part of the Whitmans and that you’re really Jeremy’s person? Do you really think you can step on me, order me around, and demand things from me?”
“…”
Surprised, Hannah looked at Madeline who just said that. She could not think of any way to retort Madeline, nor did virtual-novel.net have the courage to do so. Hannah started to panic at the sight of the icy chill that was Madeline’s gaze.
“Miss Bolton, you can make a fuss, but let me remind you, you need to read the room before you make a fuss.” Madeline’s tone was calm, but it was laced with warning.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re in Glendale or anywhere else. Jeremy Whitman’s wife will only be me, Eveline Montgomery. The only woman who can call herself Jeremy’s person will also be me, Eveline Montgomery. You’d better watch your mouth when you speak next time.”
As Madeline spoke, virtual-novel.net shifted virtual-novel.net stern gaze to look into Hannah’s bewildered eyes.
“Don’t try to cross the line. You’re not qualified to do so.”
“…”
After Madeline had spoken, an abnormal silence enveloped the inside of the car.
Hannah seemed to be able to hear how unstable virtual-novel.net breathing was. She was scared, but virtual-novel.net dared not open virtual-novel.net mouth to speak. She felt like a speck of dust in the air when Madeline said that to her. She did not have this power to compete with an independent and confident woman with a respectable status.
When Madeline saw that Hannah was not speaking, virtual-novel.net grabbed the contract from earlier and started looking through it. Her thin fingers glided across the papers. She looked so nonchalant, but the elegance exuded from virtual-novel.net actions was something that Hannah could never have.
Hannah watched Madeline, and virtual-novel.net said nothing the whole way. She endured the extremely cold and stifling atmosphere in the car until the car stopped.
Jeremy had arrived at the old manor before Madeline. After the car stopped, Jeremy walked to the side of the car and affectionately opened the door for Madeline. Madeline got out of the car with a smile and then held Jeremy’s arm intimately.
