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
Sh*t!Lana immediately got angry out of embarrassment. She abruptly raised her head, but as soon as she did, Madeline slapped her face with a loud smack."Argh!"Lana cried out in pain again, then had the back of her neck clamped tightly once more by Madeline.She could not move at all and was entirely unable to even stand up."What are all of you doing, being frozen there?! Drag this woman away from me!"Lana instructed the bodyguards, but Fabian did not give her the chance to do so. "No one is allowed to touch her!"The bodyguards who were just about to take action on Madeline quickly stopped and Lana became irritated. "Have you become stupid, Fabian?! I’m your biological sister. How could you help this woman instead?!”"I’ve said it before, I don't have a sister like you.""You...""Moreover, this is a grudge between both of you women. How can us men interfere with this matter?" Fabian shrugged and walked toward Lana’s side nonchalantly."Miss Lana Johnson, haven’t you al
Lana fell into the swimming pool with a splash, stirring up layers of waves.She knew how to swim, but because she had been shoved into the water for so long by Madeline just now, she accidentally swallowed a lot of water. She had also expended a lot of energy during her struggles. She did not have much energy left to swim.While she was trying to get out of the pool, she was violently pulled by Madeline on her collar.Before Lana could catch her breath, her breathing was restricted once more.She opened her eyes that were blinded by the water and saw the cold light bursting out of Madeline's eyes."Listen, Lana, if the law can't punish you, I will do so myself! Do you really think that you have nothing to worry about just because you have the Stygian Johnson Gang supporting you? I’m telling you now. As long as I’m alive for even a day, I’ll definitely do everything possible to send you to jail! Unless you kill me first!"After Madeline finished speaking her words, she threw Lana
Jeremy looked at her with interest. "What is it?"Lana stepped to the side, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. She thought for a moment before suddenly asking Jeremy, "Jeremy, do you know of anyone else with considerable influence who secretly protects Eveline? Apart from her parents, of course.”Jeremy's eyes changed instantly. "Why do you ask?""Because..." Lana spat out the smoke and continued, "Because there’s a mysterious man behind my brother. My brother seems to be a little fearful of this man. He doesn't allow me to provoke Eveline because that’s also what is wanted of him by the man. So I’m curious about who this man is."Knowing this situation, Jeremy was really surprised.Regardless of who this mysterious man was, he was helping Madeline.This seemed to be a good thing.However, who was this man who was able to make Yorick somewhat concede?While Jeremy was pondering this, he suddenly heard Lana reluctantly saying, "Jeremy, you saw Yorick's attitude just now as we
