“Lana!” Fabian grabbed Lana’s collar. He was just an 18-year-old boy, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with sharpness. “You’re the one who should die! You’re killing Yorick and destroying the Stygian Johnsons.”
Lana pushed Fabian away and mocked him. “Fabian, do you know who’s the one killing Yorick and destroying the Stygian Johnsons? It’s Jeremy!”
“What does this have to do with Jeremy? You only provoked virtual-novel.net because you’re into him! You killed Eveline’s parents and broke off virtual-novel.net marriage to Jeremy! Now, you even have the cheek to say he’s the one who ruined you?” Fabian berated angrily.
Lana turned virtual-novel.net face guiltily and clenched virtual-novel.net fists. “Yeah, so what if I’m the one who provoked him? If virtual-novel.net and Ryan hadn’t framed me, how would things have ended up like this? Do you know that Jeremy and Ryan are part of the Interpol?”
Fabian’s expression changed slightly when virtual-novel.net heard that. “Interpol?”
“Hmph!” Lana snorted. “Fabian, Jeremy and Ryan are our enemies, do you understand? Plus, you’re still so defensive over that mute, Lillian. Yorick is going to die, so shouldn’t you kill that mute and make Eveline get a taste of losing virtual-novel.net family?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Fabian lifted his hand and slapped Lana heavily across the cheek. “Shut up!”
“…” Lana was dumbfounded. Then, virtual-novel.net saw Fabian’s malicious gaze.
“You’re the reason why she’s mute! I told you, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully Lillian. Lana, you’re the person who deserves to die the most!”
“…”
After Fabian said that, virtual-novel.net left.
Lana sat there while feeling at a loss. She touched virtual-novel.net swollen cheek and gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
…
Ryan went back to Glendale from F Country and told Madeline everything about the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Yorick was going to get the death penalty soon, but Lana would only need to serve three years.
Madeline could not accept this verdict.
This woman committed so many crimes but only needed to serve three years.
Madeline was agitated. As such, virtual-novel.net locked herself in virtual-novel.net lab every day to come up with new perfumes.
When virtual-novel.net was tired, virtual-novel.net picked up virtual-novel.net pen and drew Jeremy’s face on an A4-sized paper.
His eyes, his nose, and every part of virtual-novel.net looked exactly like him.
“Jeremy, I’m so tired. If only you were next to me right now so you can hold me and give me motivation.
“Pudding’s about a year old and already knows how to walk. Isn’t virtual-novel.net amazing? Mom told me you also learned to walk when you weren’t even a year old. I guess our son is exactly the same as you.”
She murmured to the person in the drawing. However, after talking to it for a while, virtual-novel.net placed virtual-novel.net head on the paper and started crying.
“Jeremy, I miss you so much…”
Madeline broke down and cried. However, virtual-novel.net could only keep this vulnerable side in a space where no one else could see.
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door of the lab. A second later, Coco’s voice sounded from outside the door. “Ms. Montgomery, the commercial party is half an hour away. Mr. Jones is here, so we should get ready to depart now.”
Madeline recomposed herself and replied, “I’ll change now.”
She almost forgot about the party today. She heard that it was being hosted for a young and promising elite in the business world. All of the upper-class and businesspeople in Glendale would be there, so naturally, Ryan and virtual-novel.net got the invitations as well.
Madeline changed into a champagne-colored dress and attended the party as Ryan’s wife.
Madeline was not in the mood to entertain everyone because virtual-novel.net still had Jeremy in virtual-novel.net mind. When virtual-novel.net wanted to go out for some air, someone mentioned to virtual-novel.net that the mysterious man had arrived.
Madeline looked over to where everyone was looking. The man’s ashy short hair and amber eyes wandered into virtual-novel.net vision.
However, what shocked Madeline was that aside from the special hair and eye color, this man’s features and figure were exactly the same as Jeremy’s!
When virtual-novel.net looked at him, the man’s smiling eyes landed on virtual-novel.net at the same time.
“Jeremy?”
Madeline’s heart started racing. Ryan was standing beside virtual-novel.net and was shocked as well.
“Jeremy?”
