Jeremy felt his body grow cold at Madeline’s words.He watched through the swaying camera as Madeline harshly pressed the sharp end of the clip against her wrist.The clip was hardly a lethal weapon, but Madeline was using all her strength.A red line quickly marred her left wrist as bright red began to trickle out of the wound frightfully.“Linnie!” Jeremy yelled heart-wrenchingly as the pain of having his skin peeled alive spread to every inch of his body. He knew that Madeline must have been tortured to the point of hopelessness or she would never do such a thing. Ryan was taken aback by Madeline’s actions. He stared dazedly at Madeline as the woman faltered. His heart ached, but at the same time, anger bled into his eyes. “Why? Am I so incomparable to Jeremy?” Like a ragdoll, Madeline looked pitiful with her messy hair and clothes. However, her eyes were still clear and untainted. “You’ll never compare to him.” A light smile graced Madeline’s lips as she spoke weakl

Ryan’s expression shifted, and a ripple of emotions flashed through Madeline’s eyes at the mention of Jeremy’s name. “How could Jeremy have found his way here?” Ryan questioned and instructed the two maids, “Watch over Madam and stay inside.” They nodded as Ryan rushed to leave. She walked toward the bed to watch over Madeline. Adam spared Madeline’s sluggish expression an intrigued glance before he turned to leave. Ryan returned to the study and clicked on a software on the computer which showed him multiple cars driving toward the villa. He enlarged the footage and was met with a clear visual of Jeremy’s appearance. Jeremy’s features were too defined to be of a doppelganger. “How would he know where we are?” Adam seemed confused and frustrated. “What do we do now?” “The fact that he has found us means that he has come fully prepared. Bring Eveline and her parents away. I’ll deal with this.” Ryan decided, showing absolutely no fear of facing Jeremy head-on. “Will you

Ryan could not be more familiar with this voice.Ryan's gaze went past the people in front of him and fell on the man who was walking toward him slowly.This person was not just anyone. It was someone he trusted the most in recent times—Adam.Jeremy was a little surprised when he saw Adam but also not particularly surprised.He had already almost figured everything out on the way here.The mysterious man who had given him first aid, brought him to the hospital, and sent him the message was Adam.Ryan looked at Adam who was slowly walking toward him, the proud smile on his face disappearing. "Why are you here?" Ryan's expression was cold. In fact, he even wanted to ask Adam why he said those words just now.Adam smiled calmly, lifting his dark eyes that were behind his glasses."Where did you think I would be otherwise?" Adam asked with a faint smile. "Did you think I was following your instructions and bringing Eveline to the settlement point you mentioned?"When his words f

He looked at Adam who was standing in the same place. At this moment, he could not let go of the person who was still hiding in the depths of his heart.He wanted to ask a question, but when he looked into Adam's eyes, he felt that it was no longer necessary.“If he resists arrest again, just shoot him directly!”Jeremy heard such a command from one of his colleagues.He did not delay anymore and immediately started to hunt Ryan down with the rest of them.However, Ryan seemed to have expected such a thing to happen a long time ago. He got onto his motorcycle that was parked in the garage and sped away.One of the Interpol agents shot Ryan as he was getting away on a motorcycle. Although he did not hit Ryan's vital parts, the bullet passed through his arm and injured him.“Get him!”The leader commanded. Before he set off, he felt very sorry for Jeremy when he saw Jeremy's worried face. “Jeremy, I know you’re worried about your wife now, so leave Ryan to us. Go and find your wi

However, when Madeline was hugged by Jeremy, she reacted fiercely and pushed him away. She hurriedly retracted her legs back to the bed and pulled up the blanket to wrap it around herself.Madeline's eyes were full of trepidation as she held her arms tightly, muttering to herself, “Don't come here. I’ll do everything you say, I’ll listen to you. Don't force me…”Jeremy stared at Madeline with a frightened expression. As he listened to what she was saying at the moment, he gradually understood why Madeline was having such a reaction.It was because Ryan had tortured her so much that she became like this.Jeremy clenched his fists. A storm raged in his deep eyes. Soon, the darkness and coldness in his eyes dissipated for Madeline’s sake, leaving only gentleness and warmth that were like the spring breeze.“Linnie,” Jeremy gently called out to Madeline before raising his palm to caress her head, but Madeline shrank her neck and was obviously avoiding his touch.“Linnie, I’m Jeremy.
