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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 251

After the manager and head of design said that, the atmosphere in the hall became livelier.

Mrs. Longford, who had been accusing Madeline, was completely stunned. On the other hand, Meredith was looking at Madeline in disbelief. All of them had their jaws on the floor.

“W-What did you say?” Meredith frowned while pointing at Madeline. “Did you say that she, Vera Quinn, is the chief designer of Miss L.ady?”

Meredith was feeling reluctant when she asked this question.

However, she got an affirmative answer instantly.

“That’s right. This is the founder of Miss L.ady and the chief designer of the brand, Vera Quinn.”

“…”

“…”

Meredith was instantly shocked. Her mouth dropped open as she looked at Madeline who was calm and composed. She was utterly dumbstruck.

Eloise and Jeremy’s mother looked at each other. They could not believe what they were seeing and hearing at this moment.

This woman had so much up her sleeves!

Moreover, the most popular jewelry in their circle for these past two years were all designed by this woman.

They could not believe this.

How was this possible?

“So, Madam, why would Vera want to steal your bracelet? We also believe you’ve been scammed into buying a counterfeit,” the head of design asked her confidently.

“How could this be a counterfeit? I spent 100,000 dollars on this!” That woman shrieked and looked at Madeline while feeling unconvinced. “It’s obvious that this woman stole my bracelet! You people are in cahoots with each other!”

“So I guess you’re still insisting that I stole your bracelet, huh?” Madeline lifted her eyebrow and asked flatly.

That woman pointed at Madeline angrily. “It is you!”

“Alright,” Madeline said calmly before looking at the head of design. “Sasa, contact Mr. Moore for me right now and ask him to draft me a letter. I want to sue this person for slander.”

“Alright, I’ll do it now.” The head of design carried out the order that was given to her. She felt more at ease now.

They needed to teach this woman a lesson!

“…” The woman’s expression changed. She did not expect Madeline to fight back like this. Now, she was even more furious. “How dare you sue me? You stole my bracelet and you’re still so arrogant. You—”

“Honey! Honey, what are you doing? Didn’t you say you want to show your friend your bracelet?” Suddenly, a man in a suit walked over to the woman. There was an amethyst bracelet in his hand that looked the same as Madeline’s.

However, compared to the one Madeline had, the one in his hand had a darker color and there was no luster. It was obvious which one of them was fake.

When the woman saw the bracelet in the man’s hand, her expression changed frantically. “W-Why is my bracelet with you?”

“Didn’t you ask me to hold it for you? I went to the restroom just now and I couldn’t find you after I came out.” The man explained aggrievedly.

“…” The woman’s face immediately turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stammered. She could not form a sentence even after a long time.

This was a sudden plot twist. Everyone who had looked at Madeline with suspicion earlier was now looking at the woman. The three of them who sided with Meredith earlier were feeling extremely uneasy now.

Madeline smiled softly. “According to my professional judgment, your fake product costs no more than four digits.”

“What?” The woman widened her eyes in shock. Her face turned from red to white. She did not expect the thing that she wanted to show off to just be a cheap counterfeit!

The woman did not want to stay anymore after seeing so many people from her circle criticizing her. She turned around angrily to walk away.

“You falsely accused someone and you want to leave without apologizing?”

Suddenly, a voice as cold as night cut through the crowd.

The woman stopped in her tracks. Then, she saw a young and handsome man in front of her.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 252

Felipe was wearing a fitting tailored suit, looking elegant and smart. At this moment, there was anger in his eyes. It was the opposite of his usual calm and graceful face with no emotions.

“Apologize to my fiancée now, or else, it won’t be as easy as just a lawsuit.”

“…” The woman did not know who Felipe was, but she was horrified by the coldness coming from his eyes.

Madeline walked over to Felipe and grabbed his arm naturally and intimately. “It’s fine, Felipe. I don’t need a hypocritical apology. It’s enough that everyone knows that I’m innocent.”

“How can I let that happen?” Felipe looked at Madeline gently. “I won’t let anyone bully or tarnish your name. I won’t allow it even if it’s one word.”

His defensive words were filled with the overprotectiveness of a boyfriend.

Madeline looked into Felipe’s eyes. Perhaps it was the lighting, but she saw deep love and overbearingness that she had seen before in his eyes.

Her heart raced. Before she could say anything else, she saw a few younger socialites blushing when they saw Felipe.

Perhaps they were melting at what he said just now.

Meredith was extremely jealous of what she was seeing right now.

She already despised this woman who looked exactly the same as Madeline. Tonight, she had wanted to see Madeline making a fool out of herself, but she did not expect such a plot twist!

“What are you waiting for? Are you going to apologize only when we’re at the police station?” Felipe asked in a cold voice.

That woman trembled after she saw Felipe’s icy gaze. She apologized hurriedly and frantically. “I-I’m sorry! I made a mistake! I’m sorry for wrongly accusing you!”

It had been three years.

Madeline did not expect that she would one day get this woman’s apology.

However, if Jeremy had not been so heartless back then, she would have gotten this apology three years ago.

Madeline was lamenting this in her heart. When she lifted her head, she saw Meredith looking at her from head to toe.

When she saw Madeline looking at her, Meredith averted her eyes quickly.

After that woman apologized, she wanted to leave quickly. However, Felipe stopped her again. “Not only should you apologize to my fiancée…”

He started to say profoundly.

The woman froze in confusion. Then, she heard Felipe saying again.

“Just now, you said there was a girl who looked like my fiancée back then who stole your bracelet during the Whitmans’ birthday party, right?”

“Right! That’s right! It’s all because your fiancée looks so much like that maid. If not, I wouldn’t have mistaken her for that recidivist!” The woman was trying her best to shift the blame. She wanted to shift all the responsibility to Madeline who had been the thief three years ago.

There was a layer of ice on Felipe’s handsome face. He said, “Listen carefully, that girl wasn’t the Whitmans’ maid. She’s my nephew and Jeremy’s wife, Madeline. Also, the person who stole your bracelet wasn’t Madeline, it was her.”

Everyone was already shocked by what Felipe said before, but now they had their eyes widened in disbelief after they heard what followed.

They looked over to where he was looking and saw Meredith who was standing there like a deer in headlights.

Meredith’s expression changed. However, she did not stomp her feet in anger but instead remained her usual pitiful saint-like image. “Mr. Whitman, even though you’re Jeremy’s uncle, how can you accuse me like that? When have I ever stolen someone else’s belongings?”

“You’re the one who stole Mrs. Langford’s bracelet back then. After that, you shifted the blame onto Madeline.” Felipe then slowly recounted what had happened back then. “A lot of the guests who attended the party back then are here as well. I believe that they still remember that incident. After that, you posted what happened online and made such a huge fuss. Maddie suffered so much because of that. She even had to bear so many insults and accusations.”

“Nonsense!” Eloise interrupted him angrily. “Felipe, what are you talking about? How could my daughter do such a thing? You’re accusing my daughter unjustly in front of so many people. I won’t let this matter go so easily!”

“Mom…” Meredith stood next to Eloise while looking extremely aggrieved. “I really have no idea what my future uncle-in-law is talking about. I’ve never done anything like that!”

“Felipe, are you trying to reopen old wounds just because your fiancée looks like Madeline?” Jeremy’s mother walked over and started siding with Meredith.

At this moment, Felipe’s eyes darkened. There was a coldness in his thin eyes. “You’re right. I’m here to reopen old wounds indeed. But I’m not doing this just for the sake of it, I’m doing this to prove Madeline’s innocence.”

Meredith could not hold back her laugh after she heard that. “Mr. Whitman, so you’re insisting on wrongly accusing me of something I didn’t do?”

“You’ll know who’s the one accusing who after you watch this video.”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 253

Everyone was curious after they heard this.

Meredith trembled as the confidence and arrogance that was on her face previously froze instantly.

‘Video?

‘What video?

‘What is Felipe talking about?

‘Did someone capture the scene of me stealing the bracelet and blaming Madeline that night?

‘How is that possible?

‘If Felipe had that video, he would have uploaded it way earlier!’

As Meredith contemplated, she no longer felt as nervous as before. She smiled calmly.

“Felipe, don’t worry. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I didn’t do it, so I’m not afraid of any video you’re going to show!”

“Mer, I believe you!” Eloise grabbed Meredith’s hand, her eyes filled with trust and love.

“I hope you won’t say such blatant lies after you watch this video,” Felipe said to Meredith coldly.

The corners of Meredith’s lips twitched as a bad feeling arose in her chest.

After that, she saw Felipe gesturing to his assistant who was standing at one side. Then, the assistant clicked on the remote in his hand.

After a few seconds, the lights in the hall dimmed. Then, a clear image appeared on the LED screen in front of everyone. This scene shocked Meredith so much that her eyes were about to fall from their sockets.

The events of three years ago were displayed on the screen. Madeline was rushing into Whitman Manor in a hurry. Her face was pale and she was dressed casually. However, the moment she walked in, the arrogant Mrs. Langford bumped into her.

After Mrs. Langford bumped into her, she pushed all of the blame on Madeline. After that, Mrs. Langford even yelled at Madeline while pointing at her.

In the video, Madeline was obviously not doing too well. However, she did not argue with Mrs. Langford. What happened next shocked everyone.

Mrs. Langford was grabbing Madeline as she accused her of stealing her bracelet. At this moment, Meredith walked over to try to smooth things over, but during this process, she placed a bracelet into Madeline’s pocket secretly. Then, Meredith ‘found’ the bracelet in Madeline’s pocket while putting on a show of affection.

Madeline furiously tried to explain herself, but eventually, she still became a despicable thief in everyone’s eyes.

Even though Madeline had watched this video multiple times before, she still felt a lot of mixed emotions in her heart when this was displayed in front of the public.

She did not know whether she was feeling pleased because she finally got to prove her innocence, or perhaps she was feeling wronged because of all the grievances and humiliation she had to suffer.

The lights in the hall were switched on again. Madeline lifted her spirited eyes and looked at Meredith who was extremely pale and had her jaw on the floor. Then, she smirked.

“So this is Madeline who looked exactly the same as me. Such a poor soul she was. Oh, to be framed by her own sister like this…” Madeline exclaimed deliberately. She noticed a vague expression in Meredith’s eyes. The woman clearly looked extremely uncomfortable.

“Miss Meredith Crawford, your acting is such an eye-opener. There are so many other people in the video but they were all overshadowed by your amazing acting skills.”

“…” Meredith’s face fell. She was wearing such delicate makeup and yet it could not hide her wicked heart.

“Uh… Meredith, why did you steal my bracelet to frame Madeline? I’ve not offended you in any way. Even if you wanted to frame someone, you shouldn’t have used me! If you hadn’t done that back then, I wouldn’t have blamed someone innocent today!” Mrs. Langford quickly shifted all responsibilities from herself. Then, she questioned Meredith confidently.

The socialites and gentlemen around them were suspicious of Meredith after watching the video.
