He stopped in his tracks and turned sideways to answer the phone in annoyance. He said flatly, “I'll be there in a sec.”He hung up the phone and turned to face Madeline who looked cold and cheerless. “I have something to take care of now. Just go on with your business.”Madeline ignored him. After she heard Ryan driving away, she immediately went to Ryan's study.Although the door was closed, Ryan had told her the code of the door when they got married and Madeline still remembered it. Hence, she easily opened the door and went in.She did not hesitate before locating the safe.She tried to open the safe with the code of the door but failed.Madeline stood in a daze in front of the safe for a while when she figured that Ryan must be keeping a lot of information about the Stygian Johnson Gang in his computer.When she was about to turn on the computer, she suddenly thought of something and quickly left the study.Ryan was looking at the surveillance footage in the study on his

The police officer who had not died started making noises all of a sudden.He raised his trembling hands and pointed at Ryan. He said angrily, “It turns out that you’re the real murderer who killed Lana! M-Mr. Whitman was framed by you…”Ryan did not expect that the police officer was not dead yet, but he was not bothered at all.Instead, he smiled wider. “Yes, it’s me. I killed that woman named Lana, then blamed Jeremy Whitman for it. So what? Did any of you find out the truth?”“You…” The police officer widened his eyes angrily and pointed at Ryan’s nonchalant face. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to take out his mobile phone to inform his colleagues.When Ryan saw this, he pointed the gun at the police officer’s heart without hesitation and pulled the trigger…Bang! Madeline suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot while looking for Ryan's location. She stopped abruptly in her tracks as her heart started to beat erratically.“Jeremy, Jeremy…” she started calling out Je

Ryan walked into the living room. Then, he heard a loud crash as if something was smashed.He frowned in confusion and quickly walked in. However, he was stunned by what he saw in front of him."Eveline!"He quickly ran to the drunk Madeline who was kneeling on the ground and helped her up.Madeline pushed him away. “Leave me alone!”She picked up the bottle of red wine and downed it directly.She was still wearing the clothes from earlier and her body was wet. Her hair and her eyes were wet as well.“Why did he tell me such a thing? Why?” Madeline cried and complained, “I can endure everything as long as he’s well. Why did he suddenly say he’s tired now?”Madeline laughed bitterly at herself. “How many years has it been? How many years have I loved this man?” she asked herself as she raised her red tearful eyes to look at Ryan while frowning.“I liked him the moment I saw him. He hurt me and traumatized me in all those years but I forgave him. However, what happened in the en

“Eveline, what are you doing?” Jeremy looked puzzled.“We were husband and wife. I don't want you to die with this horrible poison inside of you.” Madeline looked straight at the man and injected the reagent into Jeremy's arm without hesitation.She looked at the man who was not struggling. The corners of her eyes were turning red. “You’re going to court tomorrow and I hope that this isn’t the last time we’re meeting.”Jeremy seemed lost when he heard what Madeline said.Madeline's sad face was reflected in his pupils. Before he could say anything, she left.As soon as Madeline walked out the door, she saw Ryan waiting for her.She walked up to him, said thank you, and got in the car.Ryan knew that Madeline was feeling depressed now, so he did not bother Madeline.After he sent Madeline home, he thoughtfully made a cup of coffee for her. “Don't think too much about it. I’ll accompany you to the hearing tomorrow.”Madeline took the coffee and nodded gently.“I'm going to the

He stared at her quietly with deep eyes before saying, “I have nothing to say.”Jeremy's response gave rise to all kinds of speculation.“Jeremy has nothing to say. Is that an acquiescence?”“We have the witnesses and physical evidence too. He can’t refute at all in the first place.”“I really didn’t expect him to have really killed someone.”“Aw, I used to admire him and idolize him!”The murmurs of people in the gallery basically confirmed Jeremy of those accusations. The discussions on the internet were the same.Madeline looked at Karen and Winston on the other side. They were frowning while looking very worried.“Why isn’t Jeremy defending himself? How is it possible that he would kill someone? He wouldn’t commit murder!” Karen muttered incoherently.Winston also frowned. “Don't get too worked up. If Jeremy didn’t do it, he won’t let himself be accused of such a crime.”“Quiet.” The judge hit the gavel, then talked about the police officer's murder last night. He summone
