Meredith was taken aback by Jeremy’s sudden tug. Her eyes widened in shock as virtual-novel.net took in his words. She seemed to have lost the ability to breathe.
‘How… How does virtual-novel.net know that it wasn’t me?
‘Unless Madeline has already told virtual-novel.net everything?
‘No. She wouldn’t. There’s no way virtual-novel.net would!’
“Cough, cough…”
Meredith felt the air get sucked out of virtual-novel.net lungs as Jeremy’s hand on virtual-novel.net collar tightened. Her complexion flushed and virtual-novel.net tongue became tied. “What… What are you saying, Jeremy? I am Linnie, the one you hold dear in your heart. How else would I have the leaf bookmark? Cough, cough… Please… Jeremy, let go…”
“Do you still think that you can lie to me at this point?” Jeremy squinted, a ray of frost shooting from his eyes and freezing the better half of Meredith’s heart.
“You aren’t even Eloise and Sean’s daughter, so how could the gold pendant engraved with the name ‘Eveline’ be yours? You never had the memory of the nickname ‘Linnie’ to begin with! So how could you be that little girl?”
Meredith’s pupils contracted at his words.
She had not expected Eloise to tell Jeremy such a thing, let alone that Jeremy would be able to deduce the truth from the name alone.
“I can’t believe you’ve been lying to me by pretending to be virtual-novel.net for so many years.” Jeremy’s tone lowered with every word as unbridled anger seeped out of his all-consuming peach-blossom eyes. “You should’ve known, Meredith Crawford, how pitiful an end you would find yourself at for deceiving me the moment you decided to lie.”
His slender fingers tightened their grip as his words fell, raising green veins on his fair arm. The fury virtual-novel.net assumed was evident.
Meredith’s pupils dilated, virtual-novel.net soul one shock away from leaving virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net took in the bloodthirst that Jeremy’s aura was dripping with.
“No, Jeremy. Don’t kill me, please. I… I’m really Lin—”
Meredith wanted to keep up with virtual-novel.net act and insist that virtual-novel.net was Linnie, but virtual-novel.net was interrupted by a crack that suddenly sounded from virtual-novel.net neck.
Her body froze while fear swam in virtual-novel.net eyes. It compelled virtual-novel.net to admit to lying.
“I… I’m sorry, Jeremy. I was wrong, please, let me go… If… You’ll never find out who that girl is if you kill me now…”
To be absolutely honest, Jeremy no longer cared about who that girl was anymore.
The moment virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net fell for Madeline, Jeremy no longer desired to fulfill the promises virtual-novel.net made when virtual-novel.net was young.
What disgusted virtual-novel.net the most that very moment was the fact that virtual-novel.net had allowed this woman to intoxicate him, copulate, and bear his child.
What virtual-novel.net detested even more was how Meredith had used Linnie’s name to lie and blindside him. As virtual-novel.net had believed in virtual-novel.net wicked words, virtual-novel.net hurt the woman virtual-novel.net truly loved time and time again.
Jeremy threw Meredith away, the desire to kill bubbling within him.
Meredith hit the floor with a thud and began to gasp and grapple for air.
Her neck hurt too much to even move.
She never thought that Jeremy could be so brutal!
While Jeremy had never returned virtual-novel.net feelings in the years that they were together, it could at least be said that virtual-novel.net trusted virtual-novel.net completely and allowed virtual-novel.net to do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted.
Only now did Meredith finally understand that when this man loved, virtual-novel.net loved you to bits.
Yet when you angered him, your consequences would be no lighter than that of the depths of hell.
Was virtual-novel.net going to have to experience hell before virtual-novel.net could ever feel what it meant to be loved by this man?
No.
She refused to go to hell.
Nor would virtual-novel.net allow Madeline to enjoy the beauty of Heaven!
Through virtual-novel.net blurry vision that was caused by the pain, Meredith watched Jeremy walk toward her.
