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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 441

After Karen finished barking her orders in an imposing manner, the entire room went quiet. They were all staring blankly at her and Yvonne.

Yvonne was beaming as she loved the feeling of being in the center of attention.

Madeline burst out laughing when she saw the aunt and niece duo in front of her. “You’re taking over? What are you going to be responsible for? Being the clown?”

Karen’s face fell. “Vera, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You’re just Jeremy’s wife, so what qualifications do you have to manage Whitman Corporation?”

She said before looking at Yvonne, “Yvonne, from this day on, you’ll sit here. When Jeremy comes back, I’ll tell him that you’re his secretary now.”

Yvonne was elated after she heard that. “Thank you, Aunt Karen!” She smiled and sat down on Madeline’s seat.

“What are you still doing here? Get out! Go manage your Miss L.ady. You have no business being in Whitman Corporation.” Karen chased Madeline away. Then, she sat upright and pretentiously said, “Aren’t we going to have a meeting? Let’s start.”

The heads of departments looked at each other, none of them listening to Karen’s orders.

Madeline chuckled softly and watched Karen’s performance. Then, she tossed her notebook on the table.

The heads of departments inhaled sharply after the notebook landed on the table with a loud thud. They saw an imposing aura oozing off Madeline.

“What’s this? My dear mother-in-law is trying to display power by taking office when my husband isn’t around, huh?”

Madeline lifted her eyebrow and watched as Karen’s expression gradually changed.

“Meeting? Do you know what meeting this is for? Do you know the shipping date to South America, the contract with RS, and the project in Cielo Aqua Bay? I think you don’t even know what the client’s RQR is and you’re boasting about taking charge? My dear mother-in-law, you’re here for comedic relief indeed.”

“…” Karen was speechless after Madeline said that. She looked like she was constipated as her face was bright red.

“Vera, how can you talk to Aunt Karen like that, you—”

“And you.” Madeline interrupted coldly. “Are you really so naive to think that you can get my position just like this? It’s still too early for you to be happy.”

“…”

Slam! Karen slammed her hand down on the table angrily. “Vera Quinn! You—”

“Mrs. Whitman!” An experienced head of department got up and stopped Karen when she saw the chaos happening in front of her. “Mrs. Whitman, you should go. Mr. Whitman told us yesterday that his wife will be the one responsible for all company affairs when he’s not around. No one else is allowed to interfere.”

“…”

Karen and Yvonne were stunned when they heard that.

They did not expect Jeremy to have given out such an order.

“Mr. Whitman also said that if anyone dares to disobey his wife, they’ll be fired immediately. If there’s anyone who dares to make a fuss, they’ll be kicked out by security. Mrs. Whitman, you won’t make things difficult for us, right?”

After Karen heard this, her expression darkened even more.

She did not expect Jeremy to defend that woman to this extent.

Madeline curled the corners of her lips nonchalantly. “Did you hear that, my dear mother-in-law? Did all of you hear that? I don’t think you want me to call the security on you, right?”

“…” Karen was so mad that her eyes almost fell out from their sockets. However, the only thing she could do now was glare at Madeline.

“Since you have nothing to say anymore, please leave. Stop hindering our meeting. If you delay this for one more second, it might cause Whitman Corporation to lose out a hundred million dollars. Do you think you can bear that loss?”

How would Karen be satisfied with that? However, she did not have a choice, so she could only leave while fuming.

Yvonne puffed up her cheeks and gritted her teeth in anger. However, she could only follow Karen out of the meeting room.

“Aunt Karen, Vera is so despicable! It’s fine that she doesn’t respect me, but she doesn’t even want to respect you in front of all those heads of departments!”

Yvonne felt indignant and she started egging Karen on.

“Aunt Karen, since Jeremy isn’t around, you should crack down on Vera’s spirits and teach her a lesson! If not, she’ll think that she’s the boss.”

Karen scoffed. “You’re right. Tonight, I’ll let her know who’s the real boss.”

A few moments after the meeting, Madeline got a call from Whitman Manor. The caller told her that Old Master Whitman wanted her to drop by tonight.

If it was six years ago, Madeline would believe that it was the old master who wanted to see her. However, after her death, she would not be so naive anymore.

Yet, Madeline still went.

She grabbed her bag and clicked her heels as she sashayed into the living room.

Karen and Yvonne had already prepared a trap for Madeline. When they saw her, Karen displayed a fake smile on her face.

“My dear daughter-in-law is here. Let’s start dinner then,” she said weirdly. Then, she looked at Madeline’s shoes. “Say, you’re pregnant and you’re still wearing high heels. What if you fall, Vera?”

Yvonne smirked and chimed in, saying, “Yeah, Vera. How can you wear such tall heels? What if you fall and have a miscarriage? You would want to give birth to this child with no complications, tight? The mother’s honor increases as her child’s position rises. Your child will inherit such a huge business in the future.”

“The mother’s honor increases as her child’s position rises? You’re a woman from the 21st century and you’re saying dumb things like that? How pathetic.” Madeline peered at her. “I can wear whatever I want. You don’t have the right to comment on them.”

“…” Yvonne was speechless as she widened her eyes.

Karen endured this even though she was not happy about it. “Yvonne, you’re at fault. Vera is exceptional. She has her own company and business, so she doesn’t need to bask in the glory of her son’s success.”

It sounded like she was siding with Madeline, but to be frank, she was berating her with her words.

“Come, let’s eat. My dear Vera has been working in the office for the entire day. She must be exhausted,” Karen said while eyeing Yvonne.

Madeline sat down, but after a while, no one was bringing the food over.

“My dear, according to the rules of the Whitman family, before dinner, the younger people have to bring the food to the elders. They also have to greet the elders as a sign of respect. If there are other elders at the scene, then you should also greet them as well.”

Madeline laughed when she heard that. She said slowly, “The rules of the Whitman family? I’m sorry, but I’m not a Whitman.”

“You…”

“You did so many things to get me to come back so that you can make me listen to you and respect you?”

“Isn’t it right and proper for the daughter-in-law to serve the mother-in-law?” Karen asked arrogantly.

Madeline smirked with contempt in her eyes. “Yes, it is, but are you worthy of it?”

“…” The corners of Karen’s lips twitched. “Vera, don’t be ungrateful for the respect I’m giving you! If you continue to do this, don’t blame me for not respecting you in front of outsiders!”

“Respect? Since when have you ever respected me, huh?” Madeline laughed sarcastically. Then, she lifted her gaze arrogantly. “What were you doing as a mother-in-law when Meredith slandered me for stealing someone’s bracelet? You didn’t even want to admit that I was your daughter-in-law! You told your friends and family in disgust that I was just a maid in the Whitman family. Is that the kind of respect you talk about having given me?”

After Madeline said that, Karen’s face was flushed white. She widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the beautiful yet icy face in front of her in disbelief.

When Yvonne saw Karen’s pale and dumbfounded face, she was confused. She was even more confused with what Madeline had said just now.

“Aunt Karen, you…”

“W-What did you just say?” Karen ignored Yvonne. She reached out her finger and pointed to Madeline, saying, “Say that again. W-Who are you?”

Madeline leaned back on her chair nonchalantly when she saw Karen stammering in terror.

She lifted her eyebrow and stared straight at her.

“It happened here on that day. You said I could only become one of the Whitmans and marry Jeremy if the dead could come back to life. Now, as a ‘dead person’, I’m standing in front of you. How is it? Are you surprised?”

“…”

Karen felt her heart skip a beat. She stood up from the chair in terror. “Y-Y-You’re not Vera Quinn!”

Madeline smiled nonchalantly. “It’s only been three years. Did you forget me so quickly, my darling mother-in-law?”

“…” Karen stammered as she stared at Madeline.

Vera swayed her glamorous body and approached Karen slowly but with a powerful imposing manner emitting from her being.

Karen took a step back when Madeline took a step closer. Karen only stopped walking when her back hit the decorative shelf behind her.

“Stop getting closer to me!” Karen increased the octave of her voice, and her trembling tone was mixed with fear. “Get away from me!”

Madeline chuckled softly. “How are you going to see me clearly if I don’t get closer to you?”

“…” Karen peered at Madeline with the corner of her eyes in fear before averting her gaze quickly.

Madeline reached out her hand and grabbed Karen’s wrist. Then, she pulled Karen roughly over to her, forcing the woman to face her. “My dear mother-in-law, look closely at my face. Is it the same as the one you despise in your memory, huh?”

“…”

“Are you seeing me clearly? I’m the daughter-in-law you look down on, Madeline Crawford!”
