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
Jeremy was in the elevator and was coming up to see what was going on. Coincidentally, he saw Ryan carrying Madeline into the elevator.When the door was about to close, he spotted Madeline’s bloody arm and unconscious pale face.“Linnie!”Jeremy felt his heart leaped into his throat. However, when he was about to chase after them, the police on the roof spotted him.“It’s Jeremy Whitman!”“Get him! Shoot if he resists!”Jeremy only had Madeline in his mind right now, so he could not stay put and let them arrest him.If he was arrested, he would not be able to check on Madeline and he might get framed by Ryan once again.He chose to take the stairs. Then, he endured extreme pain and discomfort as he left the building of Whitman Corporation.He got out from the side door, and when he was about to go to the entrance to see what was going on, he spotted some police standing guard. As such, he could only call a cab by the side of the road and opened an app on his phone.He knew M
Madeline sat up. She ignored the searing pain on her arm and removed her hand from the man’s grip. “Go now!”However, after she was finally out of Jeremy’s grip, he pulled her close and held her tightly. “Linnie, don’t chase me away.”“...” Madeline felt a wave of sadness crashing against her heart. She felt tears falling from her eyes.Of course, she wanted him to stay with her, but this was not the time to be romantic.She knew Jeremy would be worried and reluctant to leave, so Madeline softened her voice and patted the man’s shoulder. “Jeremy, listen to me. I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound. It’ll heal in a few days.”She comforted, then her voice became firm.“The most important thing right now is proving your innocence.”“No, you’re the most important right now.” Jeremy let go of his arms and cupped Madeline’s pale face. “I can’t let my wife get hurt because of me again.”Madeline felt that Jeremy was feeling sorry for her, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him as w
When Madeline woke up the next day, she saw Ryan by the side of her bed.She looked cautiously at the scheming man and did not say anything.On the other hand, Ryan looked straight at Madeline with a small smile on his lips.“You bled a lot. I brought some soup to replenish your energy for you. You should drink it after you’ve cleaned up.”Madeline looked at the soup on the nightstand and headed to the toilet.“Eveline, Jeremy hurt you so badly back then. Why are you still in love with him?” Ryan’s curious voice sounded from outside the toilet.Madeline did not answer her. She only opened the door after she was done washing up.Ryan was standing at the door. At this moment, he looked gentle and cultivated. One would not relate him to a cold-blooded murderer.Madeline looked into Ryan’s eyes. “Do you need a reason to love someone?” she asked him back and sat down on the bed.Ryan walked over to open the thermos for Madeline. Then, he poured some of the soup out and handed it to
