The police understood immediately, and there were smiles on their faces. Then, they issued an order.“Spread the news of Lillian Whitman being on the roof of Whitman Corporation all over the internet and to live stream services as well. We have to let Jeremy Witman see this so that he can come over to save his daughter!”After Madeline heard this, something in her head clicked.She looked at the naive little girl and clenched her fists.Lillian did not go missing on her own. She was brought here by someone.The reason that person did that was to make Jeremy show himself.Madeline understood now that this was all a conspiracy.However, she could not let anything happen to the child in front of her.On the other hand, she did not want Jeremy to show up.What should she do to ensure the safety of both of them now?The more Madeline thought about this, the more she felt uncomfortable. She even started to feel slightly dizzy.She finally noticed that her wound was bleeding again.
“Lily!” Fabian’s heart also leaped into his mouth at that moment. He ignored everything as he charged forward.“Oh my God, the little girl fell!”“It’s 28 stories high! She’ll definitely die falling from here!”The reporters gasped, but at the same time, they still tried to capture this moment on camera.In the blink of an eye, Madeline felt a gust of wind on her side.The wind smelled familiar as it engulfed her.Madeline could not see Jeremy before he zoomed past her as fast as lightning. As he pushed her away from the danger zone, he leaped down without thinking.“Ah!” Someone screamed when they saw a figure of a man appearing before jumping down with no hesitations. They were completely shocked.Madeline was pushed to one side where she looked dumbfoundedly at the figure who zoomed past her. She felt debilitating pain in her heart as she felt all of her senses and consciousness fading away from her.“Jeremy…” she called out to Jeremy’s name absent-mindedly as tears poured
Lillian did not know what was going on and neither did she sense any danger. She just stared straight up, her eyes focusing on Jeremy.“Lily, I’m apologizing to you now. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have pretended not to love you. I should’ve let you know that you’re my only princess and the little angel who I will use my whole life to protect and love.”After Jeremy said that, he felt the railing he was holding onto starting to loosen.Lillian’s body fell a few inches and Jeremy’s shoulder started to slant. However, he did not let go of his hand. He held onto her even tighter.Madeline’s heart leaped into her mouth when she saw this. She felt an impending doom coming at any second.She could not stand here and wait for the personnel to do something. Suddenly, she reached out her hand and grabbed Jeremy’s arm.“Linnie, what are you doing? Let go! I’ll drag you down with me if the railing comes loose!” Jeremy yelled at Madeline to stop her actions.However, she gritted her teeth and
Madeline did not expect the police to arrest Jeremy right this second.When the handcuffs were on Jeremy’s wrist, she felt her vision turning black.Jeremy did not even frown. Using the extra support, he leaped over the railing and went back to the roof.When the media saw Jeremy getting back up, they started aiming their cameras at him while furiously taking pictures.The young master of the wealthiest family in Glendale was being arrested for murder.This scene of his arrest would definitely go viral.Jeremy looked at the frowning Madeline and did not say anything to her. On the contrary, he just looked at her intensely.When their eyes met, Madeline could tell what Jeremy wanted to say to her.“Mr. Whitman, come with us. We’ll get to the bottom of this if you’re really innocent. Retreat!” the police said as he took Jeremy back to the station.Jeremy did not want to run away anymore, but before he turned around, he stole a glance at Madeline.Madeline averted her gaze while
Madeline lifted the corners of her lips in satisfaction and glanced at Ryan beside her. “Rye, let's go.”Ryan glanced at Madeline fondly. Then, he raised his hand in front of everyone and put his arm around Madeline's shoulders.Of course, his behavior was mainly to trigger Jeremy.Moreover, he even gave Jeremy a subtle, victorious glance before leaving confidently with Madeline in his arms.The news of Jeremy getting arrested after saving his daughter quickly spread.Everyone also knew about what Madeline had heartlessly said to Jeremy on the roof before leaving with Ryan.However, she did not care about the bullying on the internet. After returning to the house with Ryan, she wanted to find a chance to preserve Ryan's suit with the traces of smoke.However, Ryan never gave Madeline a chance. He stayed with her the entire time and even turned on the television in the living room to watch the news about Jeremy’s arrest.“I didn’t expect Jeremy to sacrifice everything for his wo
Time seemed to freeze the second the little girl said that word from her mouth.Madeline and Jeremy were stunned at the same time. They were unable to believe what they were hearing at this moment.Jeremy even wondered if he was hallucinating. Did his little princess just call him ‘Daddy’?However, Lillian was feeling confused. At this moment, what she saw was her father ignoring her. Her big eyes looked up at the motionless Jeremy while her thick eyelashes lightly fanned. Then, a trace of loneliness flashed across her clear eyes.“Daddy,” Lillian opened her mouth and called out again.The childish and clear ‘Daddy’ echoed in Jeremy's ears clearly.At this moment, he was sure that he had not misheard.It was not an illusion.Jeremy squatted suddenly and looked at the tiny doll-like face in front of him. His eyes were brimming with tears.“Lily.”He raised his restrained hands and gently stroked Lillian's small face.“Lily, you can talk. You can call out to Daddy now.”His h
Madeline was helpless. Maybe Jeremy was the only one who could heal their daughter now.After sending Lillian back to Whitman Manor, she immediately returned to Ryan's place.Ryan was not there, so Madeline went into the bedroom because she wanted to take the suit from the closet.This was the key evidence to prove that Ryan killed Lana.Madeline opened the door of the closet, but the closet was empty and there was nothing inside.Did Ryan take the clothes away before she could?Madeline was upset, then she quickly started looking for it.After looking around, she could not find anything.She wanted to go to the cloakroom again, but as soon as she stepped out of the room, she collided head-on with Ryan who had suddenly come upstairs.Seeing Madeline's hurried expression, Ryan glanced in the room. “What's wrong? You seem to be looking for something?”“The rose badge that my son made for me is missing,” Madeline explained calmly as sadness crept up her face.“You can look for
Ryan said as he slowly got closer to Madeline's face.There was a strong possessiveness in those gray eyes of his.His long and thin fingers landed on the button on the collar of Madeline's shirt, undoing it.Madeline raised her hand calmly and looked at Ryan coldly before pushing his hand away with a firm grip.She said nothing before getting up and walking upstairs.Ryan retracted his hand dispiritedly. As he looked at Madeline's swift and graceful back, the appreciation and admiration in his eyes became more intense.After Madeline returned to the room, she quickly took a shower and changed out of the clothes that Ryan had touched.After walking out of the bathroom, Madeline wanted to find the suit again. When she passed by the study, she heard Ryan's faint voice coming from inside.“Mr. Thomas, this is the most reasonable price.”‘Price?‘Is this a business call?’Madeline glanced suspiciously into the study. She saw Ryan standing in front of the French window with one h
