Jeremy grabbed Madeline's hand tightly and firmly pushed her back into the car.“Jeremy!”"Linnie, go on ahead!” Jeremy said in a stern tone, “I won't let them come near you.”The determination on Jeremy's face made Madeline breathless.The police officers and bodyguards stopped their cars. They strode up close toward Jeremy. The police in the lead showed Jeremy their work permits.“Jeremy Whitman, your actions just now have violated the law of St. Piaf. You and Eveline Montgomery are under arrest in the name of the law. Let me make this clear, no matter what status you might hold in Glendale, this is St. Piaf!”As the officer finished speaking, he approached to handcuff Jeremy.Madeline slammed the car door and rushed to Jeremy's side at once. She gazed sternly at the police officers who wanted to arrest her and Jeremy.“Running from the wedding was my idea. I instigated Jeremy. He didn’t violate any of your laws in St. Piaf. I was the one who forced him to take me away.” Je

Jeremy opened his lips calmly and said, “It’s the Carter Gray of St. Piaf, the one of royal lineage.”“...” The police officer was stunned by the words. Then, he immediately denied, “What nonsense are you going on about? Mr. Gray wouldn’t do such a thing. You are simply being outrageous!”As soon as the police officer had finished scolding, the interrogation room door opened, admitting a seemingly more experienced, middle-aged police officer who politely invited in another individual. Jeremy’s face was a mask of calm as he watched the man approach him, his hands hardening into fists. Carter noticed Jeremy's displeasure and pressed his lips into a complacent smile.“I’ve reminded you a long time ago that challenging me will only ensnare her into this situation.”Upon hearing this, Jeremy's clenched fist slowly loosened. The corners of his beautiful lips burst into a smile that looked even more contented than Carter’s.“Carter, do you think you’ve won in this situation? You’re w

Carter frowned when he heard the words. “Speaking of motive…”His eyes raised, looking ahead. He seemed about to start speaking, but he stopped himself, his gaze then returned to Madeline's face.“By now, I assume my status should be clear to you?”Madeline calmly met Carter's eyes, looking straight into his black pupils. “Well, noble viscount, do you intend to use your identity to suppress us husband and wife?”Carter could hear the irony in Madeline’s words, but he did not care for it. Instead, he showed a rare gentle smile.“Frankly, I’ve become very fond of you after these few days. You’re a very smart woman, and I need a knowledgeable woman like you by my side, but it’s a pity that your heart has never been mine. I couldn’t control you even with hypnotism, that’s why I could only give up.”Carter seemed resigned as his long eyebrows raised slightly.“Since this is the case, the both of you would have no choice but to bear this consequence together. Compared to being saved b

“Where’s Eveline? Did you get her husband Jeremy?”Carter nodded with an indifferent expression.“They are in the police station now. Jeremy might be fine, but Eveline…”He paused, looking at an expectant Ada.Indeed, she was waiting for something bad to happen to Madeline.“What about Eveline? Will she be convicted of bigamy?” Camille enquired. She was quite fond of Madeline, actually. Moreover, before the wedding, she had already known about the real situation. She did not want to proceed with the wedding, but there was no way for her to stop Carter.Even though this might embarrass Carter, she still hoped, from the bottom of her heart, that Madeline would not get into trouble for bigamy.“How did the police come just in time?” Camille asked in confusion.Deep down, Ada wanted to take the credit for her achievement. At least she had helped Carter restore some of his reputation.As she was considering whether to tell them, she heard Carter asking her, “You’re the one who call

The police station.Even though Jeremy’s behavior obstructed the police officers’ duty, the circumstances were not considered that bad, so he managed to quickly bail himself out.However, he stood in front of the police station door, his steps slowed, and he was unable to take another step.Madeline was still inside. There was a high chance that she would be charged with bigamy.“Linnie.”Jeremy clenched his fingers, and a firm conviction emerged deep within his eyes.“I’ll make sure you’ll reach home safely. Wait for me.”He gave his promise. He also believed that Madeline could sense his feelings.A few moments after Jeremy had left, a luxurious car gradually stopped in front of the main entrance.Camille grabbed her bag and gracefully got out of the car.Madeline just finished with her statement and was following the officer out of the interrogation room. As she reached the door, to her surprise, she saw Camille walking toward her.The police officer leading Camille was v

She conversed with the police officer who brought her in for a moment. Then, she turned around, smiling gently at Madeline. “I’ve bailed you out. You can leave this place for now, but you can’t leave the St. Piaf borders for the time being.”Madeline did not forget that, as she was informed earlier, she could not bail out, yet she was now released from custody.After coming out of the police station, Madeline was still hardly convinced that this was real.Aside from words of gratitude, she did not know what else to say.After accepting Madeline’s gratitude, Camille handed over her phone to Madeline. “You can call your husband and ask him to pick you up. However, the two of you should stay in St. Piaf for the time being.”Madeline took over the phone, thanked Camille, and gave her agreement.Jeremy was planning to head back to where he stayed. He certainly did not expect to receive a call from Madeline.Ten minutes later, he rushed back to the police station entrance and saw Made

When Camille saw the displeasure on Carter’s face, she sat down on the sofa calmly.“Did you really trick Eveline into signing a marriage certificate with you? From the very beginning, didn’t she put up this pretense with you only to help you shake off Ada?”“When you were signing the marriage certificate during the engagement, she only obliged and signed the certificate because you said it was simply a formality, isn’t that right?”Faced with these questions from Camille, Carter could not offer any rebuttal. His silence thus gave Camille the most direct answer.Camille, however, was a bit vexed. “Carter, you’ve always been straightforward and upright when you act, and you disdained petty maneuvers like this, but this time…”“That’s because at times, to complete a goal and task, certain skills are required.” “I, however, don’t think this is a skill. This is manipulation and entrapment. This might even be destruction. You will ruin Eveline,” Camille rationally corrected him.“

This sentence came from Madeline’s mouth so naturally, but it pierced into Jeremy’s heart.He could not help but remember his inappropriate behavior.She always viewed him as the man she loved the most and her husband. However, he refused to admit her status.When he thought about this, Jeremy did not know if it was a figment of his imagination but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Then, a familiar dull pain washed over him. It even began getting harder for him to breathe.Madeline immediately noticed the changes in Jeremy’s expression. She grabbed his arm tightly, asking, “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry. He wanted to hide the fact that he was feeling extremely unwell, but his labored breathing caused him not to have the energy to speak.Looking at Jeremy’s complexion that was getting worse, Madeline started to panic. “What’s wrong, Jeremy? What’s going on? Tell me where the discomfort is coming from.”Madeline asked incoherently. Her eye
