Those were the cigarettes she smoked and also the ones she gave Jeremy back then. However, the ones she gave Jeremy was added with something else.When Jeremy smacked the cigarette box on her face suddenly, Lana knew what was going on.โWhat did you put in the cigarettes?โ Jeremy asked coldly.Lana did not dare answer. She could only pretend to cough from shock.Jeremy did not have time to beat around the bush with her, so he walked to the other side coldly.When Lana saw this, she lifted her leg to kick Naomi who was playing dead.โGet up! Bite the ropes off for me!โ she ordered in a low voice.However, Naomi continued to play dead. She thought Jeremy was only going to seek revenge on Lana. She only followed Lana into the car groggily after she drank too much. She was a victim here.โNaomi!โ Lana shrieked. When she was about to kick her again, she felt cold liquid pouring from her head to her toes.โAh!โ Lana yelled.Naomi bolted up abruptly since Jeremy was also pouring the
โNo!โLana was so terrified that she started blabbering. In the next second, she saw Jeremy throwing the match on a stack of wooden boxes on the side.It was as if the boxes had been doused in gasoline as well. The tiny flame on the match suddenly grew and started spreading all over the place.However, before the fire could approach them, Lana and Naomi were scared frozen. Cold sweat started to form on both of their bodies.Jeremy looked coldly at Lana. At this moment, she was so scared that her face was completely white.โLana, I wonโt let you die just like this.โEven more intense flames were burning behind his sharp eyes.โYou used me to kill my in-laws and caused me to never be able to be together with Linnie. So, I want you to slowly walk toward death while youโre in fear. I want you to experience how it feels to be framed and tortured.โโ...โAfter he said that, Lana saw his tall and slender figure walking further and further away without any concerns until he had walked
After arriving at the location before Fabian and the rest, Madeline watched the flames engulf the factory and understood what Jeremy meant by revenge.She quickly ran through the metal doors to take a look at what was happening inside. Upon entering, she was met with Jeremy standing before the factory like an exquisite sculpture, rooted in place as he watched the flames feed aloofly.Madeline felt her heart sink.She quickly called the fire department and ran to stand in front of Jeremy.It was then that the man realized Madeline had arrived. His dim eyes sparkled.โWhat are you doing here, Linnie? Quick, leave.โ Jeremy quickly pulled Madeline away, not wanting her to be scorched by straying flames.Madeline slapped his hand away, her eyes filled with worry and concern.โWhat do you think youโre doing? Have you any idea at all?โโI know,โ Jeremy replied curtly, the flames reflecting in his frosty eyes. โShe deserves to die.โโYes, she deserves to die, but you donโt have to pla
Watching Madelineโs eyes that were red from crying, emotion finally flashed through Jeremyโs gaze.He could not ignore Madelineโs plea, let alone continue to go against her wishes.โItโs under the door,โ Jeremy finally said.Madeline quickly shouted for Fabian, โItโs under the door!โFabian squatted and groped around, surprised to find the key.Opening the door, he and Yorick then ran inside to carry out Lana and Naomi who had passed out.As both Lana and Naomi had been doused in gasoline, embers of flame managed to catch on them while they were carried out.Thank goodness for the firefighters who arrived in time and extinguished the flames.Lana and Naomi were sent to the hospital where both were declared to not be in any life-threatening danger.However, the ends of Lanaโs already short hair were burnt and became choppy. The scent of smoke filled the strands of her hair.Knowing that Lana and Naomi were alright, Madeline got into the car anxiously.She could only imagine h
Jeremy gulped. Giving Madeline up, he forced himself to turn around.He used the day to spend time with the children.Lillian still called him โMisterโ, but it was good enough for him.The sky darkened, and Madeline returned.Jeremy placed the newly signed divorce papers in front of her and felt dizziness wash over him.Assuming it was the slow-acting poison Lana talked about, he suppressed his reaction to it and gave Madeline a gentle, small smile.โI donโt want you to suffer anymore, Linnie,โ he stated gently, โHaving gone through so much, Iโve come to understand that true love doesnโt mean possession. As long as youโre happy, Iโm happy. Thatโs enough for me.โHearing her son, Karen asked worriedly, โWhat are you saying, Jeremy? Are you actually breaking up with Eveline?โShe asked, but Jeremy did not answer.Karen then walked to stand beside Madeline. โMom has done so many horrible things to you before, Eveline. Yet youโve forgiven me despite my horrendous acts. Will you no
โAdam?โJeremy followed after the figure and indeed confirmed that it was Adam.Adam looked no different than how he did beforeโstill gentlemanly with his glasses.Yet, such a kind-looking man had also taken someone elseโs life as an experiment subject.How could Jeremy possibly forgive Adam for what he did to Madeline?She had believed Adam, thinking that he was genuinely helping her when she was nothing more than a subject of an experiment to him.Madeline still had no idea why he was so averse to her taking the pain medication Adam gave her.Adam had returned to his office to get his research. However, he had not expected Jeremy to appear before the door the moment he sat in his office.Panic flashed through Adamโs eyes, but he quickly calmed.โJeremy Whitman? How can I help you?โLocking Adamโs office door behind him, Jeremy walked toward Adam with a domineering gaze in his eyes.โYou donโt even have the most basic medical ethics at all, so how can you even call yourself
As a mad scientist, nothing brought Adam more joy than achieving the results he wanted.However, the only place that could give him the tactical support he needed was the Stygian Johnson Gang.Adam himself did not have the ability, wealth, or power.Jeremy did not completely believe Adamโs proclamation, so he took his report and went to consult a professor he knew only to receive a similar reply.The professor told him about the mutation in Jeremyโs blood and advised him to do a full-body check-up so that the cause could be found.However, knowing the cause, Jeremy also knew that treatment was close to impossible.Thinking back to the two choices Adam gave him, Jeremy had already made his own decision.He could very well hunt Adam down and kill him, but Madelineโs frantic words deterred him. โJeremy, please! Come back to me, you donโt have to make another mistake!โโI wonโt make this mistake again, Linnie.โThrowing the test results into the trash, Jeremy left the hospital.A
Madeline asked curiously, only to find a bitter smile on his gentle features.โDo you know how I became an amateur artist?โ Ryan asked.Madeline shook her head and smiled. โDo tell.โRyan turned to look at Madeline. โYou made me who I am today.โโMe?โ Madeline was confused as Ryan began to tell her what happened years ago.Back then, Madeline had just graduated high school. It was the summer break before university started.Madeline had found a part-time job at a dessert shop, and when she walked out one day, she found an art stall by the road.At that point in time, Madeline had not begun to pursue jewelry designing just yet, but art was something that piqued her interest. Walking over, she found the artworks rather interesting.As such, she picked one up to take a look. Just then, a boy came over to ask calmly, โDo you want it?โShe was shocked, but the boy continued before she could reply, โJust pay however much you think itโs worth.โโ...โ Madeline was still an innocent
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.โStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?โโWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iโm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?โHer husband was startled. โYouโre agreeing to this?โGina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Danielโs parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. โAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.โโBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonโt be happy about it for the rest of their lives,โ Ava said with a helpless sigh. โI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.โโBut AvaโฆโโMaddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as theyโre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?โThere was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.โAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?โโI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.โHmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,โ Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. โStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnโt a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnโt have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?โGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. โDidn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?โโStop talking.โ Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.โHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?โHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?โOld Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?โI canโt let this happen.โAfter Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.โDan, have you decided to just give up?โAre we
โI'll be right back!โGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.โDonโt follow me! Youโre not welcomed at our house.โDespite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. โWhat? Danโs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?โโLook at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.โWhatโs going on? Whereโs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?โ Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, โI want to know as well.โโHow could you not know? You came before me.โโDan wasn't in the ward when I came,โ Ava said and turned around. โI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.โโWait.โGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.โAva, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.โLily.โ Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. โLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youโll be able to speak soon.โLillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.โMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.โJulie smiled and shook her head. โYou stopped owing me an
โI did,โ Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, โI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnโt expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.โFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.โBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereโll be no such trouble in the future.โJulie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.โMiss Charles, Iโve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itโs closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.โJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?โJulie frowned. โYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.โโWhat?โโTsk tskโฆ Julie, do you really like this single father?โ The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. โSomeone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.โโWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?โ Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
