There were no police outside the room where Lana was murdered.Jeremy looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he grabbed Madeline’s hand before going into the room.“Jeremy, the door is locked. How are we going to get in?” Madeline was feeling worried when she saw Jeremy taking out a multipurpose key card to open the door.Perhaps Lana lost too much blood that day, so even though a few days had passed, Madeline could still smell the stench of blood.Madeline saw the spot where Lana died while looking at the winding trail of blood.After closing the curtains, Jeremy turned on the lights to start looking for evidence with Madeline.Madeline knew that Ryan was trying to frame Jeremy when he asked her to the cafe to take the reagents while calling Jeremy to come here to the hotel.The staff who appeared all of a sudden was also arranged by Ryan.Ryan had ordered some food to this room beforehand, so after Jeremy came in, the staff became a coincidental witness.At the sa
Jeremy stopped walking. Then, he looked at the smiling woman with his soft gaze.He could guess what was going on. His brows started furrowing together as his expression became heavy as well.“No.” He rejected her.Madeline smiled mischievously. “I haven’t told you what it is.”“I know what you want to say.” There was a smart glint in Jeremy’s eyes. “Linnie, I said no.”He emphasized again, his expression looking even more solemn.The smile on Madeline’s face started fading away. “Jeremy, let me do something for you. I’m your wife. I can’t bear to watch my husband being framed.”Jeremy walked in front of Madeline. “It’s because you’re my wife that I can’t let you risk yourself like this.”“I want to.”“But I don’t.”“…”Madeline did not know what to say. Once again, she felt that the person in the world who was more stubborn than her was Jeremy.She left the hotel with him with no choice. They wanted to go back to the manor to visit their children, but they knew someone wou
He slid his finger across the screen, and before he said anything, he heard Madeline saying in a domineering and overbearing voice, “Ryan, I want to see you.”“Now?” Ryan looked at the time and saw that it was two in the morning.“Yes, now. I want to see you.” Madeline’s tone was firm.Ryan was curious, so he agreed. “Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”“No, I’ll go to you.”Ryan felt that this was getting more and more interesting. He said profoundly, “Come to our room, then. I’ll wait for you.”Their room?Madeline clenched her fists and felt waves of resentment along with repulsion crashing within her. However, she absolutely needed to do this tonight.After she hung up, Ryan looked at Madeline’s name on his phone’s display screen and had some guesses in his heart.He knew that because of Jeremy, Madeline was also wanted by the police. Her crime was helping a murderer to abscond.However, at this moment, Madeline was here for him.After more than ten minutes, Ryan went back
Ryan was shocked by Madeline’s answer and the brash confidence in her eyes.At the moment, he felt as if he had been overwhelmed by frustration.Jeremy furrowed his sword-shaped brows and looked at Madeline who was calm and collected.He had never seen such boldness in a woman before.On the other hand, this was the exact boldness that attracted him to Madeline even though she was a divorcee who already had children of her own.Feelings were strange. One could not make sense of them, but at the same time, one would be controlled by them.However, Ryan’s biggest goal right now was to get rid of Jeremy.Would he give up on such a great opportunity for a woman?No.Ryan smirked without a trace.He could kill two birds with one stone, and he would be able to execute it perfectly too.Jeremy needed to die, but he wanted Eveline too.“Ryan, what do you think? Are you saving my husband?” Madeline broke the silence and asked.Ryan lifted the corners of his lips. There was admirati
However, when Jeremy woke up and touched the empty half of the bed, his heart sank.“Linnie?”He tried to look for Madeline in the small room but could see the entire room in just one glance. She was not here.Jeremy cleaned himself up hastily and went downstairs. When he was about to ask the receptionist, the boss gave Jeremy a note.“You’re awake, hot stuff. Your girlfriend said she needed to leave in the middle of the night and left you a note.”She left in the middle of the night?Jeremy’s sunken heart felt extremely cold.He took the note and when he opened it, he saw four words. ‘Jeremy, I love you.’Jeremy looked at Madeline’s neat handwriting. Those four words were reflected in his eyes and had already tattooed themselves onto his heart.He remembered what Madeline told him last night almost immediately. “Jeremy, I have a plan to make Ryan admit that he’s the one who killed Lana.”‘Linnie, you dummy, you went ahead and looked for Ryan in order to prove my innocence an
Madeline never thought about struggling or fighting back when she was forced to a corner.Even though she could not see the face of the person, the smell of grass had already filled her nostrils.She was at a loss for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. When she met the eyes of the man in front of her, she started pushing him away frantically.“What are you doing here? Go away! The police might still be watching me. You can’t come to see me, don’t you know that?”Madeline pressed the open button to push Jeremy out, but Jeremy only pulled her into his arms and trapped her into the corner once again.“Come with me,” Jeremy said. His tone was extremely gentle and passionate.He did not blame her nor did he have any suspicions toward her. He knew she was only doing this for him.Madeline shook her head, her eyes looking firm. “I won’t. I’ve taken the first stop and I won’t turn back.”Jeremy took a deep breath and furrowed his brows together.“What’s wrong?” Madeline g
Madeline’s heart was in debilitating pain. She wanted to tell him to go. “Jeremy… Mhm…”Jeremy was worried that Madeline would expose their location, so he used his lips to stop her mouth.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to kiss her now. She wanted to push him away, but he was using all of his might to trap her in his arms.The huge raindrops fell onto their bodies, causing Madeline’s vision to get blurry. At this moment, she almost could not open her eyes.She started to forget the fact that she was supposed to tell this man to leave. She could feel herself melting as Jeremy continued kissing her…At the same time, Jeremy could feel Madeline submitting to him. As such, he detached himself from her and cupped her wet face. “Linnie, come with me, okay?”“Okay…” Madeline nodded. She could not find any reason to reject him anymore. She only felt extremely worried when she saw his complexion looking paler and paler.Jeremy smirked in satisfaction and kissed Madeline again. After th
Ryan never expected Madeline to do this.He looked at his empty hands and could not help but feel at a loss.Jeremy was shocked as well. Madeline’s swift and unwavering action was out of his expectation. At the same time, it caught his eyes as well.However, Madeline was unperturbed. She pressed her lips together and stared straight at Ryan. At this moment, her courage and grandeur were impeccable.Madeline did not say anything to Ryan. She turned her face slightly and said to Jeremy gently, “Jeremy, leave now.”“Linnie.”“Go!” Madeline pretended to be mad as she chased Jeremy away. “Jeremy, I trust that you won’t kill anyone. I also trust that the true murderer will be exposed one day!”She looked at Jeremy who had reluctance in his eyes. “Go.”Jeremy felt that he could not let this woman down after he saw the determination and concern in her eyes.He looked at Madeline longingly before his deep eyes scanned Ryan’s face.Then, Jeremy dragged his body that had been defeated b
