Chapter 1201
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

"Are you alright? Are you alone right now?" Jeremy pestered, feeling worried.Madeline quickly answered, "Yeah, I'm about to drive back home."Jeremy was relieved after obtaining her answer. "Alright, then hurry back home. I'll wait for you."Madeline hung up the call, but she felt that something was off.'Did something just happen? Why is he so worried about me?'While she was deep in her thoughts, some news popped up on her phone’s news feed. Before she could even look at the news, Ava called her.Ava's tone was even more anxious compared to Jeremy’s. "Maddie, is this for real?! Jeremy killed Lana?!"Madeline felt a wave of shock coursing through her as she stood absent-minded. A moment later, she asked, "Ava, why are you asking such a thing?""Haven’t you seen the news on the net? It's spreading like wildfire!" Ava said in an exaggerated manner, "I thought that Lana was imprisoned in F Country. I didn't think she’d be released so soon. Yeah, she's cruel and she deserves to b

Jeremy's comment comforted Madeline.She was no longer feeling anxious, but she was more puzzled.When she was still trying to decipher what Jeremy was trying to say, the police came bursting into the house to look for Jeremy."Mr. Whitman, you're found to be related to a murder case. Please follow us back to the police station for further investigation." The police officer who led the group had a serious look on his face. As he explained, he tried to place the handcuffs over Jeremy's hands."I can follow you guys back for further investigation, but since there's no evidence to prove me guilty, no one is allowed to use such a method to bring me away." Jeremy looked at the handcuffs, and with much cooperation given, he walked to the doorway on his own accord."Jeremy!" Madeline caught up to him, and so did Jackson as well as Lillian.Jeremy's footsteps came to a halt when he saw the two little kids catching up to him.He smiled gently at Madeline. "Linnie, wait for me at home wit

Madeline glared at Ryan. "Were you the one who exposed all the so-called truth on the net?""I'm just stating the fact." Ryan acted matter-of-factly. "Jeremy used to be all lovey-dovey with Lana, am I wrong?""Shut up!" Madeline roared. "Ryan, you and I know why my husband was so close with Lana back then! He was making a huge sacrifice for Interpol, but you’re claiming that they were both a couple? How rotten can your heart be?!"Ryan was not bothered with Madeline's reprimanding and spoke in a way as if he was giving a kind reminder, "Instead of scolding me right here, why not go hire Jeremy a good lawyer?"He smiled while looking at Madeline who was still glaring at him. "Just wait till they compare the fingerprints on the gun left at the scene. Jeremy will never be able to shake the crime off him. Murdering costs one's life. Even if I give you all the doses of anti-toxoid test reagent needed to complete the course of treatment, you'll still be unable to save Jeremy."Under the

The police officer revealed two documents and said earnestly, "We've gotten substantial proof that Mr. Whitman is the murderer responsible for Lana’s death. We're now going to officially arrest him.""Please don't give us trouble, Mrs. Whitman.""Impossible! Jeremy would never kill anyone!" Karen came rushing downstairs. "You guys must have gotten it wrong. There must be something wrong with this evidence!""The evidence was approved by forensic physicians. The evidence couldn’t have been fabricated,” the officer said confidently."Besides, we've received an anonymous document that allowed us to be very sure that Mr. Whitman had a motive to kill. We've also grasped the timeline that led up to the murder, and most importantly, the gun left at the scene had Mr. Whitman's fingerprints on it."'Jeremy's fingerprints were found on the gun?'Madeline found it unbelievable.The officer started to question, "Mrs. Whitman, on the day of Ryan's birthday, did Mr. Whitman argue with him? At

The police officers quickly ran outside to observe the source of the sound.Madeline trailed them and saw there was a vase that had shattered at the grass below the bedroom.The floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony was left open. The curtain was dancing along with the gentle wind."It's very possible that Jeremy jumped down from the window to make his escape. You guys, hurry and go chase after him!" the leader quickly ordered his subordinates.Madeline looked up to the balcony. She believed Jeremy had the ability and jumping skills. 'But would he ‘accidentally' break the vase and let everyone hear it?'While she was deep in her thoughts, a familiar outline appeared in her peripheral vision.Her eyes sparkled as she met the pair of deep-set eyes that belonged to Jeremy.Madeline's heart was pumping hard. Seeing Jeremy leaving from the main entrance, she quickly went up and deliberately blocked the officer who was leading the troop. "Sir, I sincerely believe that my husband woul
