Lana fell into the swimming pool with a splash, stirring up layers of waves.
She knew how to swim, but because virtual-novel.net had been shoved into the water for so long by Madeline just now, virtual-novel.net accidentally swallowed a lot of water. She had also expended a lot of energy during virtual-novel.net struggles. She did not have much energy left to swim.
While virtual-novel.net was trying to get out of the pool, virtual-novel.net was violently pulled by Madeline on virtual-novel.net collar.
Before Lana could catch virtual-novel.net breath, virtual-novel.net breathing was restricted once more.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes that were blinded by the water and saw the cold light bursting out of Madeline’s eyes.
“Listen, Lana, if the law can’t punish you, I will do so myself! Do you really think that you have nothing to worry about just because you have the Stygian Johnson Gang supporting you? I’m telling you now. As long as I’m alive for even a day, I’ll definitely do everything possible to send you to jail! Unless you kill me first!”
After Madeline finished speaking virtual-novel.net words, virtual-novel.net threw Lana back into the swimming pool and turned away.
As soon as virtual-novel.net turned around, however, virtual-novel.net noticed Jeremy standing not far away—just looking at her.
Madeline ignored him. She took a big step and walked toward the gates with a stifling aura.
Jeremy saw the way Madeline had looked at him—it was filled with intense resentment and disappointment.
He pretended not to care and had a faint smile on his lips until Madeline passed by. Only then did virtual-novel.net remove his disguise.
Seeing Lana who was swearing in the swimming pool, Jeremy’s eyes turned hostile.
‘Lana, for whatever you did to my wife and daughter, I’ll definitely return the same back to you.’
This day would arrive very soon.
Madeline walked straight to the door and met Yorick who had just returned.
Yorick’s expression was aloof, but virtual-novel.net seemed to be surprised when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline who had an imposing aura. It was immediately followed by a mild annoyance that appeared between his eyebrows. He strode directly into the villa without stopping Madeline.
Lana had just climbed out from the swimming pool, and before virtual-novel.net could come back to virtual-novel.net senses, virtual-novel.net saw Yorick walking hurriedly toward her.
She quickly complained to virtual-novel.net brother, “Brother, that Eveline—”
Smack!
Before Lana could finish speaking, Yorick had landed a slap on her.
Lana staggered back and fell into the swimming pool once more. A strong taste of blood invaded virtual-novel.net mouth.
She covered virtual-novel.net face in disbelief as virtual-novel.net panted hard, looking at Yorick who was standing above the pool. “Yorick! Have you gone crazy as well?!”
“How many times have I warned you to not provoke Eveline? Do you know what foolish thing you’ve done? I’ve spent more than a month negotiating two large orders with virtual-novel.net that involve hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, all of which are now ruined by you! By your hands! Go back to F Country as soon as possible! Don’t let me see you here again.”
Fabian clapped his hands and applauded. “Did you hear that? He asked you to go back to F Country and stop causing trouble!”
“…”
Lana covered virtual-novel.net swollen face. Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, virtual-novel.net punched the water hard.
“Hmph!” She sneered, “Just this one Eveline has actually made both my elder and younger brothers switch to virtual-novel.net side!”
She cursed in dissatisfaction but noticed Jeremy when virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net eyes. Lana immediately showed an aggrieved expression and quickly climbed out of the pool.
“Jeremy.”
Jeremy pretended to be concerned and handed Lana a bathrobe, saying, “I saw everything just now. Why did your brother beat you for Eveline?”
Lana’s expression turned dark. Thinking of the mysterious man virtual-novel.net saw in the coffee shop when virtual-novel.net tailed Yorick that time, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and turned virtual-novel.net head to show Jeremy a sad look. “Jeremy, it looks like no one really cares about me anymore other than you.”
“Don’t say that. They’re your biological brothers, after all.”
“So what if they’re my brothers? They’re concerned about Eveline more than me now.” Lana’s eyes were full of envy. Looking at Jeremy’s puzzled expression, virtual-novel.net then said, “Jeremy, since we’re already in such a close relationship, there’s something I must tell you.”
