Chapter 1236
Madeline was helpless. Maybe Jeremy was the only one who could heal their daughter now.After sending Lillian back to Whitman Manor, she immediately returned to Ryan's place.Ryan was not there, so Madeline went into the bedroom because she wanted to take the suit from the closet.This was the key evidence to prove that Ryan killed Lana.Madeline opened the door of the closet, but the closet was empty and there was nothing inside.Did Ryan take the clothes away before she could?Madeline was upset, then she quickly started looking for it.After looking around, she could not find anything.She wanted to go to the cloakroom again, but as soon as she stepped out of the room, she collided head-on with Ryan who had suddenly come upstairs.Seeing Madeline's hurried expression, Ryan glanced in the room. “What's wrong? You seem to be looking for something?”“The rose badge that my son made for me is missing,” Madeline explained calmly as sadness crept up her face.“You can look for

Ryan said as he slowly got closer to Madeline's face.There was a strong possessiveness in those gray eyes of his.His long and thin fingers landed on the button on the collar of Madeline's shirt, undoing it.Madeline raised her hand calmly and looked at Ryan coldly before pushing his hand away with a firm grip.She said nothing before getting up and walking upstairs.Ryan retracted his hand dispiritedly. As he looked at Madeline's swift and graceful back, the appreciation and admiration in his eyes became more intense.After Madeline returned to the room, she quickly took a shower and changed out of the clothes that Ryan had touched.After walking out of the bathroom, Madeline wanted to find the suit again. When she passed by the study, she heard Ryan's faint voice coming from inside.“Mr. Thomas, this is the most reasonable price.”‘Price?‘Is this a business call?’Madeline glanced suspiciously into the study. She saw Ryan standing in front of the French window with one h

Based on what Ryan said just now, Madeline was certain.“I don't think so. Yorick might just be this person's puppet…”“Who are you calling?”Ryan's sudden appearance interrupted Madeline.She held the phone as she looked at the man walking toward her and continued calmly, “I’ll bring Lily out to meet you someday. I have something to take care of now, so I’m gonna hang up.”Madeline finished saying that calmly and hung up the phone.Seeing Ryan's probing gaze, she explained calmly, “It's Fabian. He likes Lily very much, so he specifically called to ask me about her.”Ryan nodded and did not ask anything more.Madeline did not know if this man was doubting her, but she had already begun to doubt Ryan's identity.She seemed to gradually understand why Ryan wanted to kill Jeremy so much.This man seemed indifferent to worldly rewards and gentle, but his hidden identity was absolutely and unexpectedly terrifying.Madeline spent two peaceful days in Ryan's place.News about her

Madeline looked at the man who was running toward her in surprise. As soon as she moved her lips, the man gently covered her mouth.The man grabbed her slender waist and quickly led her away.Ryan and a white man walked out from behind the wall hurriedly.Their subordinates followed behind them and took a flashlight to shine on the ground. It was then they saw a stray kitten hunched over as it stepped on the plastic water bottle and meowed at them.“Mr. Thomas, it's just a cat.” His men stepped forward and kicked the kitten away.The man glanced around before turning around with Ryan.Madeline stood behind the tree and saw what happened just now.She was lucky that the kitten had suddenly appeared and resolved her crisis.However, the kitten was kicked because of her and Madeline felt a little intolerable.“I know what you’re thinking. You can take this kitten away.” A deep and hoarse voice said from behind her.Madeline turned around and stared at the face in front of her un

She raised her head and looked at Ryan with an indifferent expression. Then, her eyes gradually reddened.“If he’s really sentenced, can you give me the reagent first? I don't want him to die with the poison still in his body.”Madeline was begging him with her eyes. The tears that were welled in her eyes rolled down silently.Ryan looked at Madeline's tears, his eyebrows furrowing.“Ryan, if you can't help Jeremy find the real culprit and can't give me the reagent, then it seems that I’ve lost all reason to continue staying here.”After she finished speaking, she got up in tears to leave. However, before she could go far, Ryan's voice came from behind.“If Jeremy were to be sentenced to death after they’ve reached a verdict, I’ll give you the reagent.”Ryan sounded a little reluctant, but he finally agreed.Madeline stopped in her tracks. She was facing the door when a light glint flashed across her misty eyes.“Continue dinner with me. You’re Mrs. Jones now,” Ryan demanded w

Ryan picked up a seemingly heavy handbag and quickly walked toward the river beside the road.When he reached the bridge, he threw the handbag down.It did not take long for the bag to sink. Then, the ripples that were scattered across the water’s surface gradually became still again.Ryan returned to the car and looked at Madeline who was still asleep before stepping on the accelerator.As they were approaching their place, Madeline slowly woke up.She was leaning on the seat as if she was still sleepy. Then, she looked calmly at the man who was driving.“Ryan, what are you doing so much for?” She parted her lips lightly and asked in a faint voice, “You’re always so confident that you’ll make me fall in love with you but I seriously cannot agree with what you’re doing.”Ryan parked the car in the garage before saying calmly, “It’s the same concept as women loving beauty and everyone loving money. What do you think a man wants the most?”He asked while looking into Madeline's e

He stopped in his tracks and turned sideways to answer the phone in annoyance. He said flatly, “I'll be there in a sec.”He hung up the phone and turned to face Madeline who looked cold and cheerless. “I have something to take care of now. Just go on with your business.”Madeline ignored him. After she heard Ryan driving away, she immediately went to Ryan's study.Although the door was closed, Ryan had told her the code of the door when they got married and Madeline still remembered it. Hence, she easily opened the door and went in.She did not hesitate before locating the safe.She tried to open the safe with the code of the door but failed.Madeline stood in a daze in front of the safe for a while when she figured that Ryan must be keeping a lot of information about the Stygian Johnson Gang in his computer.When she was about to turn on the computer, she suddenly thought of something and quickly left the study.Ryan was looking at the surveillance footage in the study on his

Jeremy noticed something was amiss. When he heard the man's cold words, he turned to take a look.The rain was heavy, and the light from the streetlights was very weak, but he could still see that the water stains on the ground were mixed with blood.He lifted his eyes from the bloodstain and looked over to see a pale man lying on the grass.When he was about to walk over to see what was going on, the car behind him drove away quickly.After looking around, he realized he was the only one left.Jeremy strode over to the man lying on the ground without hesitation.He took a closer look and found that this young man was actually the police officer who was in charge of arresting him before.He was wearing his casual clothes, and his face was pale. Other than that, he had several cuts on his body that were still bleeding.Jeremy probed his carotid artery with his fingers and found that it was still beating weakly.He was not dead yet.…It was late at night, and Madeline was sle
