Madeline clearly saw a man and a woman intimately hugging and kissing each other.
This woman was naturally Lana, and the man was…
It was absolutely impossible for virtual-novel.net to misremember the contours of the man’s back that was engraved deep in virtual-novel.net mind.
“Jeremy…”
There was a dull pain in Madeline’s heart, and virtual-novel.net thoughts suddenly became chaotic.
She forced herself to calm down, but virtual-novel.net emotions seemed to be getting more out of control.
The dim light in front of virtual-novel.net eyes and the unique fragrance made virtual-novel.net dizzy.
Lana raised those charming eyes of hers and smiled triumphantly at Madeline who was gradually getting pale. “Mrs. Whitman, have you arrived?”
Her tone was arrogant, contemptuous, and provocative. “Mr. Whitman’s kissing is really so good. Such a man really makes me unable to extricate myself.”
She knew that Lana was deliberately provoking her, but Madeline could not calm herself down.
She quickly clenched virtual-novel.net fists and walked up behind the man before pulling virtual-novel.net and Lana apart. “Jeremy, what are you doing? Have you gone crazy?” virtual-novel.net reproached while virtual-novel.net heart continued to hurt. Her vision was blurred, but virtual-novel.net could still clearly see the man in front of virtual-novel.net chuckling disapprovingly. “It’s normal to put on an act in business, why are you making such a fuss?”
Madeline really thought that virtual-novel.net had heard virtual-novel.net wrong, but the voice in virtual-novel.net ears was clear and real.
“A fuss? Jeremy, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Madeline looked at the man in front of virtual-novel.net incredulously. Then, virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net say, “Go back and don’t disturb Miss Johnson and me from discussing business.”
This answer gave Madeline a splitting headache. She even felt the people and things in front of virtual-novel.net beginning to become more and more muddled.
Looking at Madeline’s reaction, Lana curled up virtual-novel.net lips with satisfaction and walked behind Madeline proudly. “Did you not hear that, Mrs. Whitman? Your husband told you to leave. If that’s the case, you should quickly go and not disturb us from ‘talking business’.”
She stressed the last two words ambiguously.
Madeline turned around, raised virtual-novel.net palm, and slapped Lana across virtual-novel.net face.
Her eyes were dyed with razor-sharp edges as virtual-novel.net said imposingly, “Talk business, eh? Then, this slap is my reward for you accompanying my husband to talk business!”
Lana clutched virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net eyes turning extremely fierce in an instant.
Not once in virtual-novel.net entire life had anyone dare say a word to virtual-novel.net let alone hit her.
Her eldest brother, Paul, had influence in both the dark and light sides of society. She, the second young lady, had been doing whatever virtual-novel.net wanted in F Country ever since virtual-novel.net was young.
All the men virtual-novel.net set virtual-novel.net eyes on had obediently submitted to her, and when it came to the women virtual-novel.net took issue with, virtual-novel.net could render them unable to lift their heads with just a word!
Yet now, Madeline had actually hit her.
Oh, that was great.
Now virtual-novel.net had a legitimate reason to deal with this sore sight!
However, Madeline was not afraid at all. She even warned Lana, saying, “Lana, I don’t care who you are. If you harass my husband again, it won’t be just a slap next time.”
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net said this, virtual-novel.net wrist was suddenly held tightly by the man behind her. “Eveline Montgomery, you dare hit Miss Johnson?”
The sight of Jeremy defending Lana shocked Madeline.
In a daze, virtual-novel.net looked at his face that was filled with hostility aimed at her.
She was about to speak but was thrown to the side by the man. “Leave now, don’t get in the way.”
Madeline almost lost virtual-novel.net balance. She was in disbelief that this was Jeremy’s attitude toward her. “Jeremy, what’s the matter with you?”
“I’ll let you off.” The man strode off dissatisfied. Without even looking at virtual-novel.net from the corners of his eyes, virtual-novel.net comforted the pretentious Lana.
Madeline’s heart was sore.
She could not believe that the man in front of virtual-novel.net was really Jeremy.
Thinking of how virtual-novel.net had been threatened by Felipe because of Lillian before, virtual-novel.net wondered if Jeremy was going through similar difficulties now.
‘Jeremy, what reason is there that would allow you to hug and kiss Lana?’
