Splash, splash!Lillian instinctively struggled in the water.Meanwhile, Lana stood by the pool and enjoyed the scenery. She watched Lillian eventually halt in her struggling, gradually sinking to the bottom of the pool. Lana then took a puff of smoke, her gaze becoming more psychotic and satisfied."Eveline, it seems like I'll be able to see what you’ll look like when you’re suffering in pain soon enough."Lana smiled, then turned around and headed out. She decided to dispose of Lillian's corpse only when she returned.Fabian, who had come out of the house to answer the phone, could vaguely hear some weird noises. He walked toward the pool where the noises came from.At first, he thought it was just a bird that was fluttering on the surface of the swimming pool, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was a child!He did not know why there was a child in the water. He hurried over and jumped into the water without hesitation.When he saw that the little girl was Li
Fabian retaliated reasonably. “This is my younger sister. Who didn’t shower with their brother when they were younger? What’s wrong with looking?! Besides, I was just changing Lily’s clothes. It’s not as obscene as you think!”Earl and Red covered their mouths and snickered upon hearing that.In the room, Fabian was serious about changing Lily’s clothes. He even asked Earl and Red to go to the mall to buy some clothes immediately as he gently dried Lily’s hair and wiped her face.Seeing the color on the little girl’s face gradually recovering, a relieved smile slowly appeared on Fabian’s face.“With me here, Lillian will definitely be fine.”He promised, but it was very strange how Lily ended up in the pool at home.Although he did not have the brains for business like Yorick did, he was not stupid either.He quickly thought of Lana and decided to ask Lana for an explanation after Lillian woke up.…Madeline and Ryan searched in the park for a long time but did not find any tr
Jeremy looked at Lana’s back in disgust and got out of the car to catch up with her with dissatisfaction.“How sweet!”Lana made a mocking sound at Madeline and Ryan.Madeline let herself go from Ryan’s embrace. When she looked up to see Lana, she also saw Jeremy who was following Lana closely.Her tearful eyes instantly became sharp, casting a cold light.However, Madeline did not want to waste her time and breath. She turned toward Ryan and said, “Rye, let’s go to the police station.”“Okay.” Ryan nodded and stepped forward to take Madeline’s hand.Madeline froze for a moment when she felt Ryan’s warm palm, but she did not let go.Although it was under the curtains of the night, Jeremy still saw tears in Madeline’s eyes.‘She cried.‘Why did she cry?’He thought carefully. Seeing Ryan leading Madeline to leave, Jeremy opened his mouth and pretended to be contemptuous by saying, “Mr. Jones, didn’t you say you’ll take good care of my ex-wife? What’s wrong, then? Is it becaus
Lana slammed on the brakes upon hearing this. She looked at the handsome and cold man with excitement and anticipation. “Jeremy, is what you said for real?”“Do you think it’s fake? With how I’ve been treating you all this time, can’t you feel it?” Jeremy asked back leisurely.Lana thought for a moment and no longer had any doubts.“In that case, Jeremy, even if something happens to your and Madeline’s child, you wouldn’t care anymore?”Jeremy quietly hid the sorrow in his eyes. “I’ve told you, I only care about you now.”“Then, that’s great.” Lana smiled, then said, “My subordinate unexpectedly ran into Eveline’s daughter today and thought that the child was particularly annoying, so he dealt with her.”Jeremy curled his fingers abruptly, holding back his emotions. “What do you mean by ‘dealt with her’?”“He took the initiative to drown that little thing.”Jeremy clenched his fists upon hearing this. The unbearably deep sorrow had already caused him to lose all his sanity.Li
Jeremy was about to finish Lana off when he heard Fabian cursing angrily.Lana was in a good mood, but she was scolded by Fabian as soon as she entered the house. Her expression hardened. She was about to open her mouth to retort when she saw Fabian carrying Lillian, who was safe and sound, in his arms. Jeremy had also seen Lillian.His battered heart, which was already riddled with holes, was instantly soothed.‘Lillian.‘My little princess.‘So you’re alright. That’s great!‘Daddy was afraid that something had happened to you. If something happened to you, your mother would fall apart completely.’Jeremy thought silently, then heard Fabian scolding Lana again. “You asked your subordinate to kidnap Lillian, didn’t you? You actually threw such a small child into the pool with no care about whether she lives or dies. Are you still human?”“Fabian Johnson! Shut up!” Lana was outraged. “When did I kidnap this little thing? Stop speaking nonsense!”“Who else if not you?” Fabian
“Lana, I don’t have a sister like you!”Fabian carried Lillian in his arms, turned around, and walked toward the garage.Lillian, who was in his arms, kept her sights on Jeremy who had been ignoring her.Her big, innocent eyes blinked lightly, but they gradually dimmed and shut close.Jeremy looked at Lillian who was being carried away in his peripheral vision. He was certain that Fabian would not harm Lillian.He muttered thousands of apologies on the inside, but he could not relieve the pain in his heart.She was his and Madeline’s only little princess, but he could not even help the precious little princess up when she fell down in front of him.What kind of father was he?Madeline and Ryan had just returned to Whitman Manor from the police station. They were still worried about Lillian’s whereabouts when they saw a sports car parked at the door.She fixed her gaze on it and saw Fabian sitting in the passenger seat with a child in his arms.“Lillian?”Madeline walked over
Madeline recalled the cigarette she had gotten from Jeremy's cigarette box that time. She had taken the cigarette to run a components test on it.However, too many things happened all of a sudden after that. Both her parents passed away, and it was Jeremy who caused their deaths. She had fallen into chaos all of a sudden and totally forgot about the test.After Fabian and Ryan left, Madeline returned to the room to watch over Lillian.When she thought about Lillian wanting Jeremy to carry her after she fell down but only saw him turn a blind eye to her, the little girl must have felt very upset.Although the child was still young and could not express herself well, she would still be able to sense that Jeremy did not like her.Madeline felt more and more suspicious.‘How did a person become so cold-blooded? The answer might be lying within the cigarette.’Madeline stayed with Lillian the entire night and fell asleep unknowingly.When she woke up the next day, she saw that Lilli
Madeline walked straight toward Jeremy. She could see no one else in her eyes.Jeremy did not know why Madeline had come to see him, but he still felt happy to see her.It was just that the moment Madeline came over to him, she raised her hand and slapped him heavily across his face.Jeremy, with his tilted face, appeared lost.Everyone was dumbfounded. They were silent for a while without even the slightest sound in the entire meeting room.After witnessing this scene, Ken was stunned for a few seconds as well. Then, he immediately requested everyone in the conference room to leave before following suit himself. He closed the door as he exited.Instantly, there was only Madeline and Jeremy left in the meeting room.Jeremy raised his slender fingers and touched his beaten cheek. Then, he stood up and looked at Madeline whose expression was cold. Her glare was prickly as well."Miss Montgomery, I’ve said it before that I don’t want to see you again. Why are you still looking for
