“Jeremy, do you still think you have the chance to get out of here alive?” Felipe’s victorious smile spread across his face gradually.
Jeremy was still calm. “Why don’t we have a little competition? We’ll see who’s faster.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Felipe’s expression changed.
Felipe would not joke about his life, and neither would virtual-novel.net take this risk—not when virtual-novel.net was going against Jeremy.
While the man was hesitating, Jeremy shot the pistol away from Felipe’s hand.
When the pistol fell, virtual-novel.net grabbed it one step ahead of Felipe and pointed it at Felipe’s heart.
The situation changed so quickly that the smirk on Felipe’s face was already gone.
“Tell them to go out,” ordered Jeremy.
Felipe barked his order coldly. “Get out.”
“Mr. Whitman, we—”
“F*ck off!” Jeremy chased them away impatiently.
The bodyguards did not dare to go against his order, so they went out to keep an eye on them.
They figured if Jeremy dared to do something rash, they would fire at the same time. They did not believe that Jeremy would be able to dodge so many bullets at one go.
Now, Jeremy and Felipe were the only ones in the warehouse.
“Are you surprised, Uncle? You didn’t expect me to get the upper hand, huh?”
“Hmph.” Felipe scoffed in disdain. “You won’t get away with this if you dare to touch me.”
“Since I’m already here, I have no plans to get out.” Jeremy was calm, but his gaze was getting colder and colder. There was a biting coldness enveloping his entire body. “Felipe, you’re right. We have to put an end to this.”
“In the past year, you almost caused Grandpa to go into a vegetative state and you also used Eveline’s hatred toward me to devour the entire Whitman Corporation. I still remember all of these.
“When I was still Eveline’s husband, you were already trying to get close to virtual-novel.net so you could make virtual-novel.net trust and depend on you. I want to thank you for bringing virtual-novel.net back to life, but that’s not a reason for you to keep using and possessing her.”
Jeremy’s grip on the trigger tightened slightly while his eyes were filled with an overwhelming dominance.
“Felipe, if one of us has to die today, I don’t think it’ll be me. I won’t let Eveline spend the rest of virtual-novel.net life alone. She’s still my wife. Her body and virtual-novel.net heart can only belong to me.”
What Jeremy meant was clear when virtual-novel.net said that, and a flash of panic appeared in Felipe’s eyes.
Jeremy was going to shoot virtual-novel.net now.
However, at this moment, the sound of familiar footsteps traveled into Jeremy’s ears from afar.
“Stop it!”
Madeline’s voice reverberated across the warehouse.
Jeremy’s finger loosened, and in the next second, Madeline ran in front of him. She was using virtual-novel.net body to shield Felipe.
“Jeremy, if you want to kill someone, then kill me.”
Jeremy’s heart fell into an abyss after seeing Madeline’s firm decision in protecting Felipe.
His heart was aching. “Eveline, what are you talking about? You’re even willing to die for someone like him?”
Madeline looked into Jeremy’s angry eyes neither obsequiously nor superciliously. Then, virtual-novel.net spotted a row of guns aiming at virtual-novel.net from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Her heart was beating loudly, but virtual-novel.net still said without changing virtual-novel.net expression, “I can’t let the child in my stomach be born without a father. So, Jeremy, if you want to shoot, then shoot me.”
