Old Master Whitman wondered why Karen would suddenly ask about this. He furrowed his gray eyebrows. "Where did you learn about this?"Infuriated, Karen told Old Master Whitman that she just came back from Jones Manor. "The Jones family is unreasonable. Look at what Eveline has become. How dare they say we deserve it?!""We deserve it? Did the Jones family say that?" Old Master Whitman's face darkened. He was visibly displeased.Karen nodded. "How could I joke about something like that? There were a lot of reporters outside and they all heard it."Old Master Whitman's brows furrowed when he heard that. Just as he was about to say something, Jeremy's voice rang."In that case, the media will break the story online soon.""Jeremy." Karen quickly got up and walked over to Jeremy, her eyes full of confusion. "You know about this? What the hell is going on? Why do I have no idea that there’s bad blood between the Whitman family and the Jones family? What do the Whitman family have to d

Jeremy settled Madeline down before leaving to capture Ryan.Only after Ryan was captured could Linnie stop being scared and recover in a comfortable, relaxing environment.Madeline poked her head out of the window and looked at Jeremy's back as he ran off. There was a vague uneasiness in her beautiful eyes."Jeremy's gone again,” she muttered sadly. A touch of melancholy and worry appeared on her face again.Thinking about what Jeremy had just told her, Madeline sat quietly in the car.However, her heart was beating wildly. Ryan's appearance earlier had startled her.On the other hand, Ryan had been keeping tabs on Madeline and Jeremy. He followed them back the same day they flew back to Glendale.He knew that the police and IBCI were looking for him, but he would not allow himself to be caught until he achieved his goal.After scurrying off, he hid in an alley.The injury he got that day was still inflamed, making him feel a bit off.He wanted to go home, but he read some n

Ryan raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes, with vision blurry due to his injury, looked particularly bleak."Is it alright for you to come after me and leave Eveline alone in the car?" Ryan's smile got a little sinister.Once he finished speaking, Ryan noticed that Jeremy's finger on the trigger had loosened.Jeremy felt butterflies in his stomach when he thought of Madeline who was left alone in the car before he came to catch Ryan.He looked at Ryan who was smiling insidiously and immediately turned around to sprint back to the spot before.'Linnie!' Jeremy shouted Madeline's name in his head.He was afraid.He was afraid that Madeline was in danger again.He realized that he had been careless. He should not have left Madeline alone in the car.'She's not in a good state of mind. How could I just leave her and go after Ryan?'Linnie!'Jeremy felt tormented. He quickly sprinted in the direction of the car.It was a short distance away, but Jeremy felt that the road

Jeremy could no longer remain rational in such a situation.After being absent-minded for a few seconds, he went from being passive to becoming more initiative. He held Madeline completely in his arms and placed his lips over hers…This period of separation had made his yearning for her grow stronger to the point where he was unable to control himself.Even in his dreams, he longed to hug the one he loved the most to sleep. However, he was unable to realize such a simple wish."Linnie, Linnie…" he kept gently calling out to her by her ear. Each word was spoken with much passion.Jeremy could no longer control his emotions and allowed his mind to take over him. Both of them were indulged in that summer’s night that was engulfed in a lovely atmostphere.They had a good night’s sleep.When the sun was shining, Jeremy woke up. He lowered his head and saw Madeline cuddling in his arms like a kitten.Her face was still stained with bright red, as if it was an artwork left from their

Jeremy felt as if his heartstring were being pulled painfully as he was completely awakened at that moment.He switched on the table lamp. Under the soft lighting, he saw Madeline drenched in a cold sweat. She was tightly holding onto the blanket, her eyes shut as she frowned. Her mouth kept blurting for help. She was terrified."Jeremy, don't go, don't go…"She was dreaming, and her tone sounded like she was crying. Jeremy could even see tears coming out from the corners of Madeline's eyes.He could easily guess that she was having a nightmare. Heartbroken, Jeremy held onto Madeline's hand. "Linnie."However, as soon as he called out to her, Madeline had a huge reaction and shoved his hand away forcefully. "Ryan, what do you want?" she suddenly questioned.It was obvious that she was dreaming of Ryan. In her dream, Ryan was trying to force her to do something she was reluctant to do.Jeremy was hurt, and once again, he stretched his hands out to grasp Madeline's icy cold hands.
