The colleague who was waiting outside the operating theatre informed him of the latest situation. “The bullet hit him pretty close to the heart and he has lost a lot of blood. I’m afraid the situation is not looking too optimistic.”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the words. “Why did you shoot him? I was confident that I could make Ryan let my wife go.”“The police saw that your wife and Ryan seemed to be in a dispute and Ryan looked as if he wanted to forcibly take your wife away. In order to ensure the safety of the hostage and also since Ryan was a wanted criminal, they opened fire.”Jeremy did not say anything anymore after knowing this.In fact, he had already thought about it at the time. He was ready to explain to Ryan about the grievances from the previous generations. When that happened, Ryan would naturally release Madeline.However, he did not expect the police to fire.Ryan was still in the emergency room and his chance of survival was slim.Jeremy's gaze
The man's furious voice came from the hallway harshly.Jeremy raised his eyes to see the people who had barged in and instantly understood their intentions.He signaled the maids to go on with their business and then said in a light tone, “If you have time, you should go to the hospital and not come here to expose your low IQs.”“What? Jeremy, you killed Rye and you still dare to pretend that it has nothing to do with you?! Jeremy, let me tell you, I’ll never let Rye die like this without doing anything about it!” Mrs. Jones cursed with tears in her eyes, looking extremely distressed.Mr. Jones was also furious as he gritted his teeth. “Jeremy, even if our Rye really killed the woman named Lana Johnson, it should be the police convicting him! Who are you to shoot Rye just like that?“Do the Whitmans have a habit of persecuting the Joneses? Not only did you people kill my dad, but now you even killed my son!”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows as indignation appeared in his eyes. He emp
Mrs. Jones cursed viciously.Hearing this, Jeremy instantly raised his eyebrows. When he was about to warn her, Mrs. Jones seemed to be overstimulated and suddenly passed out.Jeremy suppressed his anger before walking to one side to make a call.He blocked all of the videos that were being spread on the internet and handled all the comments mentioning Madeline.However, after dealing with these, more public opinion surged on the internet.They were saying that Jeremy was having a guilty conscience after killing Ryan, so he spent money to withdraw the trending tweets.He did not care about the opinions of the netizens. He only did this because he did not want to see Madeline being involved in this matter.After Ryan was sent to the ICU, Jeremy went to visit him.The noble young master who was once known by his gentleness and humbleness was now bearing the shameful identity as a murderer.How ironic.‘Ryan, since you’re such a clever person, why didn’t you investigate your gra
Jeremy instantly felt Madeline awakening.However, when he lowered his head, he saw that Madeline's eyes were full of panic and confusion.She looked at the ceiling somewhat blanky, and after a few seconds, Madeline seemed to realize that there was someone next to her.When she saw Jeremy who was extremely close to her, she grabbed the blanket and leaped away immediately. “Get away from me!”Jeremy's heart sank. At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into the bottom of a cold lake.Sure enough, what he was worried about had happened.“Linnie, I’m Jeremy," Jeremy explained.However, Madeline seemed to be ignoring him. She shrank to the corner of the bed with a panicked expression. Her big, smart, and beautiful eyes were looking ahead in confusion. They were out of focus.“Linnie, what's wrong with you, Linnie? I'm Jeremy. Don't be afraid.” Jeremy slowly approached while coaxing patiently and tenderly. “Don't be afraid, Linnie. It's over. Ryan won't have any more opportuniti
He felt that she was getting anxious. “Linnie, don't be afraid. I won't let you out of my sight again. Don't be afraid, okay?”Madeline was stunned for a moment. Then, she finally raised her head and met Jeremy's soft eyes that were as gentle as a spring breeze. There seemed to be a flash of clarity in her eyes and suddenly, she had a clear recognition of the man in front of her.“Jeremy? Are you Jeremy?”“Yes, I am Jeremy. I’m your husband, Eveline Montgomery.” Jeremy gave an affirmative answer.Madeline's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as if she was in distress. “Jeremy, I don't seem to recognize you, but I remember that Jeremy is the love of my life.”Jeremy felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle when he heard that. “Linnie…”“Why don't I even recognize the man I love most? Jeremy, will you blame me for this?”“You dummy, why would I blame you?” Jeremy stroked Madeline's worried face before bowing his head and kissing her gently. “You didn't mean to forget me. You’re j
Jeremy noticed something amiss, so he restrained himself and looked back only to see Madeline standing not far behind him with a look of doubt.It was unknown when she followed him here. Plus, there was a possibility that she had heard all the questions asked by these journalists. That would explain why Madeline's expression looked a little off.“Linnie.”Jeremy turned and walked toward her, but at this moment, the group of journalists behind him turned the cameras to Madeline and started asking questions.“Miss Eveline, was Ryan with you when he was shot last night?”“Mrs. Whitman, what is the relationship between you and Ryan?”“The reason why Mr. Whitman shot Ryan was that he was jealous of you being with Ryan, right?”Jeremy was furious when the journalists asked such stupid questions.He turned around swiftly and looked at them with his eyes as sharp as ice knives. “You’re willfully speculating and putting false crimes on people under the guise of pursuing the truth. Just
“Linnie.”“Ah!” Suddenly, Madeline held her head uncomfortably and asked strangely, “Why is this happening? Why?”“Linnie!” Jeremy grabbed her shoulders nervously and looked at her pained look. He also felt his heart aching along with her. “Linnie, don't be too hard on yourself. Don't think about it. Let's go back to the house.”He took Madeline's hand before looking back and reminding Karen. “Call the police. Tell them someone is making trouble in front of our house.”Karen nodded and stared angrily at the panicked journalists. “I'll call them now!”After she said this, these journalists all left one after another.If this was another place, they would not leave even if the police were involved.However, there were at the gates of Whitman Manor and it was not a good idea to provoke Jeremy.However, judging from Madeline's reaction just now, most of them had already thought about what they were going to release next.The madam of the richest and dignified Jones family was actu
Jeremy got nervous as he approached the bathroom for some reason.He was sure that Madeline was in the bathroom, but judging from this strange sound, he did not know what Madeline was doing.Jeremy sped toward the bathroom and pushed the door open.He glanced inside but did not see Madeline. He only heard the sound of water coming from the area where the bathtub was placed.“Linnie?” Jeremy called out Madeline's name and quickly walked in without thinking.As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Jeremy felt something tugging at his heartstrings while he felt every cell in his body was in pain“Linnie!”Jeremy ran over to grab Madeline who was desperately pouring cold water all over herself.She was drenched all over and her short hair was completely wet. Her pale face was also covered with beads of water.“Linnie, what are you doing?” Jeremy snatched the showerhead away and picked her up aggressively.Madeline looked at the nervous and worried man with dull eyes but she
