’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

"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

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 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

"..."Madeline knew Fabian had purposely said that. She also noticed the press and the police were looking at them, a ‘couple'.Fabian intentionally used his physique to block Madeline out of their sight and 'hugged' her as they entered the room.As soon as they entered, Madeline freed herself from Fabian. "Fabian, what's your motive for putting on an act and dragging me here?""Linnie."Jeremy's deep and hoarse voice was heard coming from behind. Madeline was dumbfounded and immediately spun around.Madeline let out a delightful smile the moment the handsome face was reflected in her orbs. "Jeremy!"Jeremy had a warm and faint smile as he went up to give Madeline a warm hug. "Don't worry, I'm doing just fine."Madeline did not speak a word. She was just burrowing herself in Jeremy’s arms, seeking a sense of security.Fabian saw the scene and shrugged his shoulders while smiling. "Mission accomplished."He then spun around to leave the room. Noticing that the press and police
