Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 361

What?

Meredith was flabbergasted when she heard Jackson saying that.

It was fine that the little brat survived, but what did he say? He saw her pushing Vera down the incline?

The rain was pouring outside, but it was not as violent as the storm in Jeremy’s eyes.

Meredith saw Jeremy standing up, and there was a layer of frost on his face. The temperature of her body plummeted when she saw that.

“Jeremy, it’s not real. Jack had a misunderstanding!” Meredith tried to explain herself. “Vera was the one who wanted to push me, but she fell accidentally. I’m innocent!”

“Mer, don’t be emotional. I believe you!”

Eloise comforted Meredith pitifully. Then, she turned around and walked toward Jackson.

“Jack, let Granny see if you’re alright. Vera is so heartless. She even took action against such a young child. Jack, tell Granny how did that woman bully you?”

Jackson frowned, his thick eyebrows knitting together tightly. “Vera is a good person,” he said seriously. Then, he turned to look at his father. “Daddy, go save Vera now.”

Jeremy scanned Meredith’s face with a biting cold gaze. There were flames of anger in his eyes, making him look as if he was going to burn Meredith alive.

Then, she followed Jeremy and Jackson into the forest. The father and son duo had the same expressions on their faces. They were both worried about Vera.

How was this possible?

Why was that brat okay?

Meredith was distraught. However, Eloise was next to her, so she was unable to leave to find out what happened.

She could only curse viciously in her heart. She cursed that Vera was dead after falling down the incline.

A lot of time had passed. Jeremy and Jackson found the spot where Madeline had fallen from, but they could not pinpoint where exactly she was.

“Daddy, give me your phone.”

When Jeremy was feeling agitated, he heard Jackson saying that to him.

He lowered his head and saw that the little guy had a serious look on his face. His eyes held the same worry and anxiety that were in his eyes.

Jeremy naturally trusted Jackson, so he handed over his phone.

After Jackson got the phone, he turned on the GPS and started operating it expertly.

His chubby fingers moved swiftly across the screen. After a while, a glaring red dot appeared on the screen.

It was less than ten meters away from where they were!

When Jeremy saw the joy on Jackson’s initially glum face, he was curious. “Is that red dot Vera’s location?”

Jackson nodded. He then turned around without hesitating while looking at the red dot.

“Let me. You should stay here.” Jeremy stopped him and took back his phone.

Jackson grabbed Jeremy solemnly. “I want to go with you.”

Jeremy was taken aback. He had never seen such determination in a five-year-old child’s eyes before.

He did not stop him. Then, they walked down along the bushes of the incline.

After they got to the bottom of the incline, they saw a lake.

Jackson found a sparkling and translucent item among the grass while following the red dot.

He squatted and picked up the crystal bracelet.

“Vera…”

“Is that Vera’s bracelet?” Jeremy recognized the bracelet. He remembered that Vera had the same bracelet on her wrist recently.

“I gave this to Vera,” Jackson said softly.

Jeremy looked at the little guy in front of him with a strange look on his face. “Did you put a chip in the bracelet?” he asked, but he did not get an answer.

Jackson stood up and looked at the lake. The peaceful surface of the lake was disrupted by the rain, and Jackson’s eyes were blank.

However, at this moment, Jeremy removed his coat and jumped into the lake without hesitation. He wanted to look for her…

Time passed and the sky was dark.

The rain had stopped and the search continued.

It was early fall, so the chilly night breeze attacked them both. When the breeze blew past their wet clothes, the coldness went straight into their bones.

It had been six hours since Vera fell, so Meredith knew she got this in the bag.

There were so many professional divers yet they still could not find Vera. She had to have met her demise.

Meredith was elated. She wanted to leave, but when she saw Jeremy still standing there, she felt perturbed.

She wanted to tell him to go home, but she did not dare to get close to him when he was like this.

When she looked at his cold eyes, she could feel a bone-chilling coldness.

However, after thinking about it, she still made the first move timidly.

“Jeremy, you’ve been in the rain this whole time and you’re drenched. You should go back first. If not, you’ll get sick.” Her voice was soft as she expressed her concern.

Jeremy turned a deaf ear. There were no emotions on his handsome face.

Meredith put on an act of a saint. “Jeremy, please believe me. I didn’t push Vera. She wanted to frame me, so she’s now suffering the consequences of her own actions.”

After she finished saying that, she saw Jeremy glaring at her.

Meredith’s heart skipped a beat. She could not look into Jeremy’s eyes any longer.

That was the look he had when he was waiting outside the door after Madeline was rushed to the emergency room. Back then, his eyes were also horrifying. They were so dark that they looked like they would devour everything in their path. They looked so scary as if just his gaze alone would slice her into a million pieces.

“You best pray that she’s safe and sound.” His words were icy while his eyes were like sharp knives. “If anything happens to her, I’ll bury the person who harmed her next to her.”

He was not joking. At this moment, his heart felt as if it had plunged into a bottomless abyss, and that feeling was telling him just how much he cared about that missing woman.

“…” Meredith took in a sharp breath, her face turning white from fear. “Jeremy, it’s not me. I didn’t…” She sobbed shakily. “Jack, do you know you’re going to kill me with what you said? How can you say that I was the one who pushed Vera? You’re just five and you’re already lying. What’ll happen to you when you grow older?”

Jackson looked at Meredith who was blaming him with an indifferent look on his face. “I didn’t lie.”

“Jack, you’re still spewing nonsense! What kind of drug did that Vera feed you? How can you side with her?” Eloise said in devastation, “Mer is your mother. Will you only be happy if you see your parents fighting?”

“Vera is a good person,” Jackson said slowly, “Mommy hates me, so she wanted to throw me away, but I escaped. I saw with my own two eyes that Mommy pushed Vera.”

After Jeremy heard this, he lifted his icy gaze. “You even wanted to throw this child away?”

“No! I didn’t!” Meredith shook her head and denied hurriedly.

“How is that possible?” Eloise denied. “Mer gave birth to Jack after carrying him for ten months. How could she do something like that? Jack, are you crazy? How can you slander your mother like this?”

Meredith cried aggrievedly. “Jack, why are you doing this to me? Why are you making up such lies to falsely accuse me?”

“The liar isn’t Jackson. It’s you, Meredith.”

In the night, a soft voice sounded all of a sudden.

Jeremy’s silent heart soared instantly. He lifted his eyebrows and saw a poised figure appearing in the quiet night.

“Vera!” he called out. His voice sounded like he had found something he lost.

Her beautiful face was reflected in his dark black eyes while his heart slowly found its initial rhythm.

Meredith lifted her frozen face in disbelief. Her legs almost gave out when she saw the owner of the voice getting closer and closer.

What shocked her the most was the person Vera was holding captive. When Meredith saw that person, she felt as if she was done for.

When Jackson saw that Madeline was safe and sound, his large eyes shone brightly.

He did not say anything. However, the relief he felt was written on his face.

“Vera Quinn, you did so many cruel things and you’re still safe and sound! You even have the guts to saunter back here!” Eloise pointed at Madeline and shouted, “What crimes do you want to accuse my daughter of now?”

Madeline lifted her crystal-like eyes. “Mrs. Montgomery, do you want me to die so much?” she asked with a smile. Her eyes looked bottomless as she continued, “I’m afraid that you’ll never feel peace again if I did die, Mrs. Montgomery.”

“Hmph, a woman like you will not be remembered even if you’re dead. Why would I feel uneasy if you’re dead?” Eloise peered at her coldly. “Vera, I advise you to stop what you’re doing. Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction!”

“You should tell that to your precious daughter, Meredith,” Madeline said, throwing the man she was holding captive to Meredith’s feet.

The man yelled out in pain before trying to get up and leave.

“Jeremy, don’t let him run away.”

After Jeremy heard that, he extended his long leg and tripped the man effortlessly.

The man collapsed on the ground and wailed out in pain. “Let me go! Let me go now! I won’t run away, okay?”

Madeline approached him and pointed at Jackson. “Tell them what you did to this child a few hours ago.”

The man was scrawny and looked weak. He looked at Jackson, then at the people around him. Suddenly, he shook when he was met with Jeremy’s cold glare.

“I-I kidnapped that kid,” he stammered and admitted it.
