This man was truly heartless.
She let go of him, and there was confusion in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“If you’re not Jeremy, why did you kiss me?”
“I did it because I wanted to. There’s no reason for it.” His answer was simple and straightforward.
Madeline smiled. “So this is how you kiss Lana as well? Did you hold virtual-novel.net to sleep every night for the past three months?”
While looking into Madeline’s eyes, Jeremy suddenly saw the images virtual-novel.net mentioned in virtual-novel.net beautiful orbs.
He saw himself holding a woman as they slept peacefully in the dead of night.
He did not have that kind of serenity and peace for a very long time.
However, virtual-novel.net was very sure that virtual-novel.net did not have any memories of holding Lana to sleep.
Madeline pushed virtual-novel.net away dispiritedly after virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net staying quiet.
She still had the image of virtual-novel.net risking his life for her. However, virtual-novel.net did not have proof of virtual-novel.net existence in his heart anymore.
After Madeline left, Jeremy finally came back to his senses after quite a while. He picked up the aromatherapy kit virtual-novel.net left. After virtual-novel.net opened it, virtual-novel.net put it under his nose to take a sniff.
The faint smell of Japanese roses invaded his nostrils, making virtual-novel.net feel relaxed.
Before virtual-novel.net left, Madeline had taken out a cigarette from the box when Jeremy was spacing out.
She went to the hospital to visit virtual-novel.net son before going back to virtual-novel.net lab.
Earlier, Jeremy had only pecked virtual-novel.net on the lips while smelling like the cigarettes virtual-novel.net smoked and it was enough for virtual-novel.net to feel as if virtual-novel.net was losing control of virtual-novel.net emotions.
Her instincts told virtual-novel.net that the cigarettes were not ordinary ones.
She cut it open and did some tests on it in the lab.
The results came out in the evening.
When Madeline was about to look at the report, virtual-novel.net received a call from Jeremy. “If you like it, I can give it to you. Why did you steal from me?”
It was obvious virtual-novel.net was talking about the cigarette. Plus, virtual-novel.net sounded annoyed.
“Eveline, a strong woman will only elicit a man’s lust to dominate her. Plus, it’ll even trigger an invasive sense of control. Congratulations, you’ve succeeded.”
“What do you want to say?” Madeline asked directly.
However, Jeremy only laughed. “You’ll find out.”
He hung up the phone after virtual-novel.net said that.
Madeline did not think too much about it. She picked up the results to take a look, and there was a lot of jargon virtual-novel.net did not understand. However, after some research, virtual-novel.net saw something that shocked her.
She looked at it in disbelief when the phone rang all of a sudden. This time, it was Lana.
“Eveline Montgomery,” Lana said slowly, “Your parents are as gutsy as you. Do you know they’re looking into the Stygian Johnson Gang? I won’t allow anyone who’s going against me to live in this world. You’re an exception because I want to torture you slowly. Unfortunately, it won’t be the same for your parents.”
Madeline sensed danger. “Lana, what do you mean?”
However, Lana only snorted. “Go home and take a look. The man you love will be giving you a huge surprise.”
Madeline got up abruptly, and as virtual-novel.net ran, virtual-novel.net called Eloise and Sean. However, no one answered the phone. In addition to that, no one picked up the phone in the manor as well.
She drove home quickly, but before virtual-novel.net could get to the entrance, virtual-novel.net saw fire devouring the extravagant building without mercy.
Madeline got out of the car frantically and saw Jeremy at the entrance. In front of her, the fire was burning everything in its path.
One of the maids ran out of the building while coughing from the heavy smoke. “M-Miss Eveline, Sir and Madam are still in there. I’m afraid… I’m afraid they’re gone…” virtual-novel.net said as virtual-novel.net pointed at Jeremy, “It’s him. He’s the one who asked someone to set the fire.”
Jeremy was taken aback when virtual-novel.net said that.
On the other hand, Madeline felt an excruciating pain in virtual-novel.net heart. She looked at the emotionless man, and when virtual-novel.net was about to say something, virtual-novel.net lost consciousness from virtual-novel.net heart shattering into pieces.
Before virtual-novel.net collapsed on the ground, Jeremy ran forward and held her. “Linnie!”
