Once Mrs. Jones heard what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was referring to her.
She wanted to say something, but Ryan stopped virtual-novel.net at once. “Mom, go back to your room,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Rye, don’t forget that you’re Eveline’s husband!” Mrs. Jones reminded him. “Don’t give a damn about the son of Glendale’s wealthiest family. Do you think the Jones family is afraid of him?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Jeremy gazed at virtual-novel.net coldly. “It’d be best if you aren’t afraid,” virtual-novel.net said.
“…” His harsh gaze frightened her, and virtual-novel.net did not dare to say anything else.
“Go to your room at once,” Ryan told her.
Mrs. Jones did not say anything more. She turned around and made virtual-novel.net way upstairs immediately.
However, virtual-novel.net detected a sense of aggressiveness in Jeremy. It seemed like virtual-novel.net was here to find trouble with Ryan. She walked to the stairwell of the second floor and watched the events unfolding in the living room.
Once virtual-novel.net turned around, Jeremy threw an envelope at Ryan.
About ten photographs fell out of the envelope. They fluttered in the air before scattering on the ground.
“Ryan, have a good look at your masterpiece,” virtual-novel.net announced.
The tone of Jeremy’s voice was beyond frigid. He raised his slender brows, a hateful gaze in his eyes.
“Are you going to tell me that this is just a misunderstanding?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Ryan looked at the photographs scattered by his feet. He picked up one of the photographs and lowered his eyes to take a look at it.
Madeline’s shoulders were bare in the photograph. She appeared to be passed out and lying on the same bed as Ryan.
After looking at the photographs, Ryan frowned. “I should’ve guessed that someone would’ve taken photos like this and given them to you. Jeremy, don’t blame Eveline. She doesn’t know anything,” virtual-novel.net said.
After listening to Ryan’s nonchalant words, Jeremy rushed in front of virtual-novel.net and grabbed his collar in a fit of rage.
“Ryan, don’t put up an act in front of me. Linnie may not know, but I do.” He growled. His stare was harsh and icy, piercing through the calm expression on Ryan’s face. “What did you do to her?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Ryan sighed lightly in exasperation. “You’ve seen the photos. Anything that shouldn’t have happened has already happened,” virtual-novel.net said.
Upon listening to his response, Jeremy’s eyes were set ablaze in rage. Unable to control himself, virtual-novel.net threw a punch at Ryan’s face.
Ryan did not avoid the blow, and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Upon catching sight of the scene unfolding before her, Mrs. Jones came down the stairs at once. “Jeremy Whitman, what are you doing?! Why did you hit him?!” virtual-novel.net yelled.
She rushed to Ryan’s side in a hurry. Catching sight of photographs scattered on the ground, virtual-novel.net picked up a few of them and took a glance. She instantly understood the reason why Jeremy was in a fit of rage.
Mrs. Jones continued reprimanding virtual-novel.net in a steady tone, “Jeremy Whitman, what are your intentions for bringing these photographs over here? Rye and Eveline are a married couple. They can do whatever they want together. It’s none of your business. How dare you come over here to scold Rye?”
Mrs. Jones threw the photographs onto the coffee table. “Mr. Whitman, get it clear. Eveline Montgomery is your ex-wife. She’s now Rye’s wife. She’s the daughter-in-law of the Jones family! Apologize to Rye at once. If you don’t apologize, I’ll tell the reporters that the prince of Glendale is out here snatching someone else’s wife!” virtual-novel.net yelled.
Jeremy finished listening to virtual-novel.net threats calmly. He then laughed.
“Why do I have to apologize to a fake *sshole who snatched my wife away and is now pretending to be all high and mighty?” virtual-novel.net questioned.
“…” Mrs. Jones was in a state of stupor. “What nonsense is this?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Is it really nonsense?” Jeremy snickered. “Ryan, tell your mother. Am I spewing nonsense?”
Ryan wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. “Jeremy Whitman, let’s not involve our family in this matter.”
Jeremy’s gaze hardened. “Now you’re saying that family shouldn’t be involved, but it’s already too late,” virtual-novel.net said.
He suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waistcoat and pressed it against Ryan’s heart in an act of bravado.
“W-What are you doing?!” Mrs. Jones shrieked immediately, virtual-novel.net face turning pale from fear.
