The guard stared at Lana, who was laughing like a maniac, with an indifferent look.Jeremy raised his hand to beckon, and that guard spun around to file out the scene.In the custodial ward, only Jeremy and Lana were there.Lana laughed for a moment and suddenly put on a long face, looking rather sorrowful while she stared at the man who appeared indifferent."Jeremy, Jeremy, tell me. The things that happened earlier aren't the truth, right? How is it possible? We’ve gotten so close to each other during this time. We were so happy being together every day. How can you treat me this way?"Jeremy, tell me, why?"Hearing the cries of Lana and looking at her sorrowful self, she made those who did not know about the incident pity her.However, after Jeremy heard her, his gaze became much sterner and sharper.He took big strides and came in front of Lana. His long fingers grasped tightly around Lana's neck while his icy cold gaze was just like a sharp blade. He said, "You still have

Jeremy inched nearer to her and spat out cold comments. “In those cups of coffee that you used to drink every morning, as well as the glass of lukewarm milk I personally handed to you yesterday, I’ve added something special in all of them.”“...”“It’s the exact thing which you added in your cigarettes, as well as the stuff that I ate. The only difference is that I’ve added a larger portion.”“What?!” Lana opened her eyes wide. “You… How did you get your hands on that?”Jeremy’s gaze became sharp. “Have you forgotten what you asked Adam to prescribe to Eveline?”“...” Lana started getting anxious after she heard that statement. “No, it’s impossible! If I had really consumed it, why am I not experiencing any side effects?!”“Of course you won’t because I’ve changed your cigarettes as well.”“...” Jeremy’s answer left Lana dumbfounded.“From now onward, if you don’t smoke those cigarettes, you’ll then slowly start to experience the same thing I went through previously till the da

After Madeline asked that question, she felt her heart beating at an erratic pace.‘That’s a human’s blood.’‘But isn’t human blood supposed to be red? Why is it that color instead?’While still deep in her thought, the analyst answered over the phone, “The thing is, according to our investigation, this blood sample seems to have undergone some mutation. We’ve also found some unknown samples that require further investigations to know what it is.“But there’s no doubt it's human blood,” the forensic physician repeated the last statement in a confident tone.Madeline’s hand that was holding onto the phone stiffened. She then robotically blurted out two words, “Thank you.”After hanging up the call, her mind kept rewinding the phrases spoken by the forensic physician.‘That’s human blood.‘And it's mutated human blood.’Madeline was very confident that the note had been with Jeremy earlier, but she could not be sure whether the blood belonged to Jeremy.‘If it’s really Jeremy’s

Nonetheless, she was clueless about Daniel’s action. Why would he give her a hundred-dollar note?“If you don’t feel like leaving, then keep this hundred-dollar note.” Daniel’s expression was serious.“Getting to know a person till falling in love with each other takes up a lot of energy and time. There’s another option for you, and that is to be with me. From then on, I’ll heed everything you say.” “...”“...”Daniel’s speech left both Madeline and Ava astonished.‘Is Daniel confessing his love or proposing a marriage?’“Ava, I didn’t expect that you and Dan have come to this stage,” Madeline said.“If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t leave. Dan is a good gentleman who you can rely on.”However, Ava was lost and could not believe what was happening. Her heart was thumping fast. “Dan, what are you talking about?”Daniel’s eyes became much more passionate. “Ava, I don’t hope our night that day will turn into a meaningless memory. Perhaps you’ll find it hard to believe in

Madeline was feeling perturbed and kept questioning, but Fabian claimed that speaking through the phone was rather inconvenient. Hence, he invited Madeline out to a place to meet up.In the meantime, Madeline made her leave as she did not want to disturb Ava and Daniel’s quality time together.However, as soon as Madeline left, Ava felt uncomfortable and her heartbeat went erratic. Her face was unusually warm as well.However, Daniel held onto Ava’s hand naturally and walked along the streets with her as if it was nothing to him.Ava felt as though she was in a wonderful dream, but this was only limited to being a spectacular dream and nothing else beyond it.Madeline drove her car to where she was supposed to meet up with Fabian. As soon as she got out of her car, Fabian immediately strolled to her and asked with a stern expression, “Hey, do you know where Jeremy is right now?”“You asked me to come all the way here just to know where Jeremy is?” Madeline was puzzled. “Why are y

Madeline stood up abruptly. “Jeremy was here? When? Why did he come here?”“When you went out just now. He came the moment you left.” Karen looked troubled. “He only stayed for a few minutes. He didn’t react no matter how Jack chased after him and called out to him.”When Madeline heard this, she felt an excruciating pain in her heart.She also understood why Jackson looked so down.It was because of his heartlessness and indifference.“Jeremy was really brainwashed by Lana. Not only did he do that to you, but he’s now even ignoring his own flesh and blood. Look, Jack fell and scraped his knee. As a father, he didn’t even feel upset about it.”Madeline felt worse the more she heard about it. She walked back to Jackson and rolled his pants up. When she saw the bandage on the little guy’s knee, she clenched her fist and walked to one side to call Jeremy.She did not expect him to pick up so fast. Then, Madeline heard the sound of the wind but Jeremy was not saying anything.“Jere

Lana looked at the man in front of her in confusion.“Why are you here? What are you doing here?” She glared at him, her eyes filled with disdain. “Why? Are you here to hit me when I’m down now that I’ve been arrested?”She mocked while leaning against the wall lazily.“Hmph, Eveline Montgomery is really something else. Both young masters from the Whitmans and Jones treat her as the love of their lives. I heard the only son of the Grahams had a crush on her as well. How is she better than me?”When she asked this question, she gritted her teeth. Her eyes and heart were filled with envy and jealousy for Madeline.“You’ve already lost all qualifications to compete with Eveline now that you’re like this,” Ryan said slowly.He was wearing an ink-colored suit that made him look poised and refined. The gentleness on his handsome face was nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, he looked stern and dignified.Lana cackled cockily when she heard what Ryan said. “Ryan, who do you think you

Ryan interrogated Lana for half an hour, but she denied all of the charges and requested a lawyer.Technically speaking, she would have a chance to get a lawyer to defend her for every crime.However, Ryan would not let Lana get the chance.The moment he walked out of the custodial ward, his colleague received Jeremy’s phone call.After speaking for a while, the man told Ryan, “He wants to know who are the people inside the Stygian Johnson Gang.”Ryan nodded, to which the man nodded back to show that he understood.Jeremy was sitting alone in the cafe as he basked in the light of the sunset. He looked at the people walking past the window before looking away slowly.There was a flight ticket to somewhere far away next to the steaming coffee he had in front of him.Suddenly, he heard a ding and saw someone walking upstairs after pushing the door of the cafe.Not long ago, Jeremy had just finished talking to his colleagues from Interpol. His colleague told him that the commissio
