Chapter 1196
He was still angry with her.Madeline felt lost and wronged, but she could not talk to anyone about it.She took out her phone and called Ava. "Ava, are you free now? Can you come to the hotel to pick me up?"Ava could tell that Madeline was drunk from the way she spoke. Without saying another word, she hurried over to the hotel address that Madeline gave her.Jeremy continued waiting. He was waiting for Madeline to tell him the reason, but before he got an explanation, Ava arrived.He saw Madeline and Ava walking to each other before linking their arms and walking out of the banquet hall. Madeline looked drunk as she leaned on Ava's shoulder."What's the matter, Maddie? Why did you drink so much? Did you quarrel with Jeremy?" Ava asked worriedly. She saw that Jeremy was standing not too far away but was ignoring them."When will Jeremy stop making you sad?"Madeline shook her head drunkenly. "He didn’t do anything. It’s all my fault."Ava, can I sleep at your place tonight?"
Chapter 1197
"Jeremy, don't leave me." Still in her drunken stupor, Madeline’s eyes were half-open and full of reluctance.Jeremy held her hand. Madeline's small pink face was reflected in his amber pupils.He promised softly, "I’m not going to leave you.""You are." Madeline's eyes were hot. "You’ll leave me. You will..."Jeremy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly did not know how he should respond.Yes, it was true. He was going to leave her. At most, he had two years to stay with her and the children."Linnie." Jeremy's heart tightened.Madeline’s eyes turned red as she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "Don't go. I don't want to experience the feeling of losing you again."Jeremy gulped as an unignorable pain surged in his heart.He stroked Madeline's head to comfort her.He then heard Madeline's crying sobs. "During your absence for half a year, I thought you had left me forever. Every night after the kids were asleep, I’d just lay alone in bed in a daze. I did

...Madeline sank into Jeremy's tenderness for the whole night.It was noon the next day when she woke up and found the man lying next to her. Suddenly, Madeline felt shy as her heart started beating faster.They were already married, so why did she feel this way?When she thought about their crazy behavior last night, she blushed and could not help but lean into the man's arms.For the past six months, every night she spent without him by her side was bone-chillingly cold. After he came back, everything still felt strange and it was only until last night when his tenderness cured the part of her heart that was hurt.Madeline looked up at Jeremy's hair.After the third bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent was administered, the change in the color of his hair could be seen. It was not as light as it was in the beginning.It seemed that the anti-toxoid test reagent was real and effective.However, after last night, Madeline was a little bit nervous because Ryan might refuse to g

Ryan asked directly in an extremely cold tone. He was obviously dissatisfied with what happened last night. "Don't ask nonsense," Madeline replied impatiently."if that's the case, why did you act stupidly?" Ryan asked in a cold voice, his dissatisfaction apparent. "You only needed to be Mrs. Jones last night. Didn’t you understand?” "I didn't violate the agreement between me and you. I didn't know that Jeremy would come," Madeline emphasized, "Ryan, I've tried my best to do everything you asked for, but I’m just an ordinary person. Some variables are beyond my control."After Madeline said that, Ryan no longer said anything. He frowned slightly and seemed to be pondering something."Ryan, what are you trying to do? What's your relationship with Adam?" Madeline broke the silence and asked.Ryan looked up, his space gray pupils surging with obscure colors."You should stop asking because you'll never get the answer,” Ryan replied faintly before picking up a box next to him. He

After he listened to Jeremy's warning, Ryan's face was no longer calm and composed.His face fell. His handsome and gentle features clouded with thick darkness.He picked up his phone and called Adam. "Get Lana's location and update me immediately."Adam was obedient and immediately called Lana according to Ryan's instructions.Since Lana needed Adam’s anti-toxoid reagent to live, she had set a special ringtone for Adam’s calls.Coincidentally, Lana had just run out of the anti-toxoid test reagents yesterday. When she received the call from Adam, she was very excited. "Adam, give me the anti-toxoid test reagent!" she said in a commanding tone."At eight o'clock tonight, you’ll go to the presidential suite of Glendale Hotel and wait. Someone will send you the bottles of anti-toxoid test reagent," Adam answered unhurriedly.Lana gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. "Adam, you traitor! Have you forgotten who gave you the resources and asked you to do the research? Once my brother

When she saw Ryan's ominous gaze, Lana realized that Ryan was not joking with her.She was worried and uneasy when she looked at the man who appeared to be such a gentleman but gave off an aura of darkness and horror."Ryan, w-why do you want to kill me? I didn’t do anything to you. You—""An idiot like you doesn’t deserve to live in this world," Ryan said coldly.“...”"Lana, remember what I asked you the other day? I asked you if you knew why you got to come back to Glendale alive. Well, I’ll tell you now. It was because of me.""W-What?" Shocked, Lana looked at the man who was speaking slowly. "It was you? How could it be you? You and Jeremy teamed up to catch me just to let me go again? Heh! Do you really think I would believe in such an absurd thing?!"Lana was full of doubts. She did not believe that such a thing would happen. When she remembered that Ryan was a part of Interpol, she suddenly was not afraid anymore. Instead, she raised her hand and pushed the gun that Ryan

’No wonder... No wonder…’Lana finally figured everything out!It was no wonder that every time she troubled Madeline, Yorick always scolded her. It turned out that the order had come from Ryan himself!Ryan liked Madeline, so he did not want her to trouble Madeline again and again!It could also be that her troubling Madeline would ruin Ryan's plan, so Ryan had asked Yorick to warn her again and again!"Heh! Hehe, hahaha..." Lana laughed wildly. "It turns out it was because of this!”She looked up abruptly at Ryan who was loading the bullets in the gun."Ryan, you’re way too good at hiding!”"You guys are the ones who are too stupid to see it." Ryan chuckled nonchalantly, lifting Lana’s chin with the gun. "Did you think that Adam was working for you? I mean, just look at yourself and your siblings. Did you really think that the Stygian Johnson Gang could have gotten to where they were without any help?”As she listened to Ryan's humiliating words, Lana gritted her teeth fie

Jeremy strode over and avoided stepping on the blood as much as possible.However, his calm heartbeat told him that the woman was not Linnie.He could always tell if it was Madeline even if it was just from her back view.Upon walking closer, he saw Lana’s scarily pale face in his pupils.He was not as frightened as he was confused.Lana was serving her sentence in a prison in F Country, so why was she found dead in a hotel in Glendale? He checked for a pulse in Lana's jugular vein but it was clear that there had not been a pulse for a long time.She was already dead.Jeremy remembered Ryan's call, and sure enough, it was a set-up. He did not stay long and walked toward the door. When he passed by the bathroom, Jeremy made sure to check it. The worry in his heart surged up again.‘Linnie, where are you? Why can't I get through your phone?’Just when Jeremy wanted to leave, the door was suddenly opened as a female hotel attendant came in with a set meal. She stood face to
