She looked at the man who had pushed her to defend Lana, and her heart felt as if it was being fiercely squished by an invisible pair of hands."Mommy!" Jackson ran to Madeline with worry, followed by Lillian.Despite the pain in Lana’s stomach, she was able to smile cheerfully.Karen hurried over to Jeremy. "What are you doing, Jeremy? How can you push Eveline that way?”Jeremy's long eyes were indifferent. His gaze swept past Madeline once more scornfully. "Why can't I push her? She made my woman bleed so much. Me giving her a push is me being easy on her.”"Your woman? This enchantress used you to kill Eveline's parents and split up the two of you! How could you be with this kind of person and let her conceive your child?!" Karen could not understand Jeremy’s change in attitude. "Jeremy, how can you do this to Eveline?”"Why not?” Jeremy’s fair face grinned. “She’s already married to Ryan. She’s Mrs. Jones now. She has no ties to me. If that’s the case, what right does she hav
Jeremy smiled indifferently. "Does your child's name have anything to do with me?"He said mercilessly before turning away his face indifferently. "Eveline, have a good life with your husband. Stop imagining that I still have feelings for you. Perhaps I used to have a touch of feelings for you, but that’s all in the past.”Jeremy looked into the distance, tears forming in his eyes. Despite that, his tone was still filled with mockery."I hope that this is the last time. I really don't want to see you again."He threw those cold words to Madeline and walked off freely.He never thought that those words would one day be true.This was going to be the last time he saw her.Madeline stood at the same spot, quietly watching the man’s distant figure as everything in front of her seemed to darken.‘You and I once promised each other a life-long commitment. Over the years, we were split apart, then got back together. It happened again and again, but in the end, we’re still going our se
The way she spoke was seductive, and she acted coquettishly to Jeremy.Jeremy retracted his thoughts and saw Lana’s expectant look. He promised her, saying, "Lana, I promise that tomorrow will be the most memorable day of your life."After receiving that response, Lana felt as if she was on cloud nine. Her heart fluttered happily. At that moment, Madeline was still at Whitman Manor.Lillian and Jackson seemed to be in a bad mood. Madeline could guess why the siblings were sad. It was because they still could not get the cold-blooded indifference Jeremy displayed earlier out of their minds. The same went to her as well.Not long after, Ryan came to Whitman Manor.Madeline said that Jackson and Lillian were in a bad mood, so she asked if she could spend more time with them.Ryan was very reasonable and told Madeline that she could stay with the children at the Whitmans’.It was a good thing for him because he had been trying to come up with a good reason for Madeline to stay at
Madeline looked at the object that Ava handed over. It was a photo of the two of them on the day they graduated from college.The two girls in the photo had the same fresh-faced beautiful smiles. The happiness that both of them felt that day was as if it just happened yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, it had been seven or eight years."Maddie, did you realize who else is in this picture?"When Ava suddenly asked that, Madeline looked down and found a familiar face among the crowd in the upper left corner of the photo."When I was sorting out all my things today, I found this photo. Before this, I didn't believe that Jeremy loved you for real. But Maddie, I believe it now."From Ava's tone, Madeline could hear that she really had let go of her hatred for Jeremy.As Madeline's best friend over the years, Ava always hated Jeremy.Even though Madeline no longer resented Jeremy for what he did to her at the beginning, Ava always hated him. Ava thought that Madeline did not deserve
He whispered Madeline's name, stroked her face in the photo, and could not help but cough out loudly.He quickly took a painkiller, but he still could not stop the bloody taste coming from deep in his throat.Jeremy wiped the blood from his lips with a tissue and glanced at the bloodstain. It was a deep brown and did not look like normal fresh blood.Besides that, there was a stabbing pain in his heart, and his fingers were trembling involuntarily.Once the poison developed by Adam entered the final stage, not only would it torture the person's body, but it would also test the person's psychology harshly.Jeremy spent the night in the bedroom at the office.As soon as he got up the next day, he received a call from Lana.After the woman was discharged from the hospital, her emotions swelled up and she high-spiritedly told Jeremy that she wanted to follow along to close the deal.The truth was that Jeremy initially wanted to think of a reason to get Lana to attend as well. The s
Lana was stupefied and stared at Jeremy's cold face blankly. She turned her head abruptly to look toward the door, and so did the fat man.A few tall men in business suits walked toward them sternly with blue badges hanging around their necks."Who are you guys? Who let you in? Don’t you see that this room is booked? Get out immediately!" Lana drove them away with displeasure, clearly not noticing the seriousness of the situation. Of course, the men did not leave but looked at Lana with a serious expression. The leader in the business suit showed Lana his badge. "We’re with the Interpol. There’s proof for us to believe that you’re doing illegal transactions. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can be used against you in court. "..."‘Interpol?!‘The International Criminal Police Organization?!’Lana looked at the people who had appeared in front of her incredulously, her brain going blank for a moment.When the fat man and his bodyguards saw that things
"..."Lana was on the verge of collapsing internally when she heard Jeremy's comment."No! This is impossible!"She roared, unable to accept the fact that all this while, she had just been a pawn to Jeremy."No, Jeremy. You love me. I'm even pregnant with your kid. How is it possible that you don't love me?!" Lana emphasized.However, Jeremy was not bothered at all.The colleagues of IBCI came up to arrest Lana. Seeing the situation made her reach out for a pistol from her purse."Who dares arrest me?!" She raised her head proudly and stared at Jeremy who was all calm. She slowly became devastated. "Jeremy, stop cracking jokes with me. Are you trying to tell me you're just a spy from IBCI sent here to the Stygian Johnson Gang? Hmph, how is this even possible? Don't you forget, there’s still poison inside your body. Without me, you'll—""Do you really think you'll be able to have control over me with that stuff?" Jeremy interrupted and counter-questioned. He then raised the corn
Following Jeremy’s gaze, Lana turned to face the doorway as well.The face that she saw made her recall the night when Jeremy halted her at the entrance of the pub.That night itself, she was very afraid that Jeremy would once again attempt to kill her. Anxious, she thought of leaving the scene but was stopped by Jeremy. He asked her for some cigarettes and even agreed to book a room with her together.She had a joyful night because she gained her dream crush.The next day when they had to leave the room, right when she opened the door, she saw a man behaving inappropriately while staring at her with a lewd look.That moment, as she was on cloud nine, she ignored him.However, at this moment, the man from that day reappeared before her!“Lana, have you seen it clearly with your eyes? This is the man that got you pregnant.”“...”After hearing Jeremy’s explanation and looking at the hateful, disgusting man, Lana felt quite suffocated. “Impossible! How is it even possible that I
