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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1021

Everyone in the banquet hall turned to look at Madeline.

Suspicious and doubtful gazes roamed over her.

“She was the one who stole the money?”

“No wonder her worker came to stop her from calling the police. They were all in on it.”

“I can’t say that I’m surprised, but I never expected this from Mr. Montgomery’s daughter, of all people. What a disgrace. How is he and Mrs. Montgomery supposed to rest in peace?”

Hearing such disdainful comments, Madeline felt fury rise within her. Yet, she forced herself to keep her cool.

However, she could no longer stand hearing people involve Sean and Eloise’s names.

“30 million is nothing to me. Do tell why I would risk my reputation for such a small amount?” Madeline asked back, turning to that person in charge. “Nothing happened to my personal account, so there’s no way 30 million could’ve been transferred from the company’s account.”

“Are you still going to deny it, Ms. Montgomery?” she sneered at Madeline, “It’s not my first time here. I have eyes, and my eyes told me that the transfer details of the 30 million was to your personal account! Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you spend that kind of money?”

“Exactly! How could you do such a thing? You’d kill Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery with your insolence if they were still alive!”

Madeline balled her fists, not wanting to hear them use her parents’ names to taunt her.

She tried her best to control her emotions and calm herself down. Looking up, her eyes fell on Jeremy who was standing not too far away as he watched indifferently at everyone throwing their accusations at her.

Standing beside him was a mirthful Lana Johnson. Jeremy merely watched the scene play out.

Madeline felt her heart chill when she suddenly heard Ryan standing up for her. “Miss Montgomery would never do such a thing. I hope all of you can give her some time to investigate the matter at hand.”

“Who are you to guarantee that, Mr. Jones? From what perspective do you stand, and who are you to her?” someone asked in dissatisfaction.

“To be honest, I don’t think Eveline Montgomery ever had the right to sit on that spot at all. She has no experience and no qualifications at all. She’s only there because she’s her parents’ daughter.”

The leaders who were dissatisfied with Madeline’s position in the company began to rub salt in her wounds.

Madeline merely smiled and fired back without restraint. “You’re right. I don’t have the experience nor do I have the qualifications. However, the reason that I stand here today is more than just because I’m my parents’ daughter. If you think you’re so great, then I wish that you’ll reincarnate into a better family in your next life. You’re not getting paid for being judgemental here.”

“What… Eveline Montgomery, how could you say such a thing?”

“I think it’s best you distance yourself from the matter, Mr. Jones, lest you find yourself with a handful of crap!”

Madeline knew that they were picking on her, and she did not want to drag Ryan into this.

However, Ryan stepped up and took Madeline’s hand in his before giving the guests a sincere and humble smile. “I’m here today as Eveline’s boyfriend, and I can promise you that my girlfriend would never do such a thing.”

He replied and turned to look gently at Madeline who was at loss.

“I know that someone is framing you, Eveline. You’d never do something so immoral.”

“Ahaha! Has this woman ever done anything that wasn’t immoral?” Mocking laughter sounded from the banquet hall’s entrance.

Naomi rushed into the room and huffed. “This two-faced woman is the reason why you deserted me, isn’t she, Ryan?”

Her use of the word ‘deserted’ garnered the pity of many.

“You’ve already been caught hugging and being close with Ryan by the media, Eveline! Are you still going to deny it? Are you still going to argue and say that you didn’t?”

“You stole my fiancé, you wh*re!”

Naomi slandered Madeline with horrid vulgarities.

Her hatred for Madeline was evident from the look in her eyes.

Ryan frowned and pulled Madeline behind him. “It’s no one else’s fault that we broke up, Naomi Lionel! You were the one who revealed how heinous a woman you were. I refuse to date a person like you, let alone get married to you.”

Naomi continued to rage as her eyes fell on Madeline’s hand in Ryan’s and how he was defending her. “What’s wrong with a woman like me? How am I worse than this b*tch? She just got divorced and she’s already your girlfriend? That just means that you’ve been together before she got divorced!

“Hmph! She acts like this dignified and kind lady when in truth, she’s the kind who’d even steal from charity funds! Eveline Montgomery, you’re nothing but a fake b*tch!”

Ryan, who was rarely angered, was now enraged.

However, Madeline held him back and replied calmly, “Ryan and I are an upright couple, Naomi. Don’t just go around spitting lies and slander. As for the charity funds, do you have any proof that I was the one who stole it?”

From afar, Jeremy’s focus faltered the moment he heard the first half of Madeline’s defense.

His heart hurt, but he made sure not to show it.

“Isn’t the transfer details enough proof? What more are you trying to deny?” Naomi pointed at the receipt in the woman’s hands.

The woman was furious as well. “Stop lying already, Eveline! How could you do such a thing as the new heir to Montgomery Enterprise and the person in charge of tonight’s charity gala? You’re a disgrace to Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery.”

“If that’s the case, then let’s call the police.” Jeremy’s voice cut through the crowd.

Watching him approach, a few people started to whisper among themselves. “I didn’t think Jeremy Whitman would come.”

“Isn’t it awkward, coming to the charity gala his ex-wife is hosting?”

Ignoring them, Jeremy walked toward Madeline with a light smile. “I don’t think my ex-wife’s the kind of person who’d do such a thing either. Let’s call the police. If you didn’t do it, then why fear investigation?”

While Madeline did not want to see Jeremy, his words spoke of her thoughts. She had intended to call the police since the beginning.

Eve began to protest nervously. “No, we can’t. We can’t call the police, Ms. Montgomery.” She was even winking at Madeline as she spoke.

Madeline did not understand and instead heard Naomi press after Eve. “Why can’t we call the police? What’s this? You can’t possibly be in on the crime with Eveline, right? Don’t you know that this amount is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in prison?”

Naomi threatened, but she did not expect Eve to suddenly fall backward onto the floor. “It’s not my fault! I already told her we shouldn’t, but… But Ms. Montgomery said she wanted to! She forced me! I don’t want to go to prison!”

Eve pointed at Madeline. “It’s her, it’s Ms. Montgomery who told me to do it! She said she’d pay me 100,000 in return! I didn’t lie! You can check my bank account. I just got the money from Ms. Montgomery two days ago!”

Hearing her, the person in charge quickly called to check.

She found that Eve had indeed received 100,000 dollars two days ago.

It was wonderful. Now nobody present except Ryan and Jeremy believed Madeline.

Lana smirked sinisterly by the side as the scene unfurled just as she had imagined.

Both witnesses and evidence pointed at Madeline. Whatever she was going to say next would only be an excuse.

She would make Madeline into a two-faced wh*re who liked to steal charity funds. Every bit of her dignity that she lost that day, she would make Madeline pay for it!

Yet just as Lana thought that Madeline was about to lose her status and image, she watched Madeline turn to look at her with a deep smile. “What a flawless set-up you have here. What a shame that there will always be miscalculations.”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1023

Lana’s expression shifted, and her heart grew uneasy.

No way.

Her plan was sound, and she had even used cash when she bribed Eve. How could she have miscalculated?

Lana thought that Madeline was bluffing.

She could not help but fan the flames. “Your accomplice has already admitted it, Eveline. There’s no use in arguing.”

Madeline knew then that Lana was the person behind this entire play.

However, she was Eveline Montgomery, not Madeline Crawford. There was no way she would just forgive and forget when someone was trying to frame her.

“You’re right, there’s no use in arguing at all. Which is why I’m calling the police.” Madeline pulled out her phone and made a report in front of everyone.

Still sitting on the floor, Eve’s eyes flashed to Lana before she quickly got up to keep acting. “You can’t call the police! How could you set me up, Eveline? You were the one who said you’d keep me safe even if they found out. How could you—”

Instead of getting angry, Madeline smiled and consoled her. “Oh, silly. Since you’re so adamant that we both worked together to steal that 30 million, then aren’t we technically on the same boat? Of course, I’ll keep you safe.”

“…” Eve was shocked, wondering if she had heard her wrong.

Did Eveline just admit it? That they were working together to steal from the charity funds?

What was she playing at?

Lana did not understand. Instead, she found it strange.

The police arrived at the scene in no time and began to investigate. They brought Madeline into the lounge and began a one-on-one interrogation.

Eve was frantic. She thought she only needed to listen to Lana’s instructions and slander Madeline for the 100,000 dollars to be hers.

She never thought that the police would be involved!

She was sitting limply on the floor, pretending to be afraid despite having slandered Madeline earlier.

However, she was truly terrified now!

She did not want to have a criminal record, nor did she want to go to prison!

She had finally met a great boyfriend, so how could she go to jail now?

Eve was anxious as she stared at Lana who was standing by the side. She wanted to align their alibis, but there were too many people in the banquet hall waiting for Madeline to come out.

After a while, Madeline exited the lounge.
