’No wonder… No wonder…’
Lana finally figured everything out!
It was no wonder that every time virtual-novel.net troubled Madeline, Yorick always scolded her.
It turned out that the order had come from Ryan himself!
Ryan liked Madeline, so virtual-novel.net did not want virtual-novel.net to trouble Madeline again and again!
It could also be that virtual-novel.net troubling Madeline would ruin Ryan’s plan, so Ryan had asked Yorick to warn virtual-novel.net again and again!
“Heh! Hehe, hahaha…” Lana laughed wildly. “It turns out it was because of this!”
She looked up abruptly at Ryan who was loading the bullets in the gun.
“Ryan, you’re way too good at hiding!”
“You guys are the ones who are too stupid to see it.” Ryan chuckled nonchalantly, lifting Lana’s chin with the gun. “Did you think that Adam was working for you? I mean, just look at yourself and your siblings. Did you really think that the Stygian Johnson Gang could have gotten to where they were without any help?”
As virtual-novel.net listened to Ryan’s humiliating words, Lana gritted virtual-novel.net teeth fiercely. “Ryan, if you kill me now, you won’t be able to get immunity!”
“Huh.” Ryan smiled disapprovingly and stood up. He pointed the gun at Lana’s heart. “Lana, it isn’t me who killed you. It’s Jeremy, the man who will never love you.”
‘What?’
Lana had yet to understand his words when the muffled bullet pierced through virtual-novel.net heart.
Lana’s body stiffened in an instant. Her eyes widened, and in the very next second, virtual-novel.net lost all senses before falling into a pool of blood.
Ryan took his time wiping his fingerprints off the gun that virtual-novel.net was holding before tossing it onto the ground. Then, virtual-novel.net took out his phone and called Madeline.
Madeline was on virtual-novel.net way back to the family manor when virtual-novel.net suddenly received a call from Ryan.
She answered the phone without hesitation and heard Ryan’s faint voice a second after.
“I’m going back to Interpol’s headquarters tomorrow. I’ll leave that box of reagents in the cafe where I met you today. You can go and get it now, but after you hang up, you must turn off your phone.”
Madeline did not know why Ryan had asked virtual-novel.net to turn off virtual-novel.net phone, but the thought of getting one month’s worth of reagents made virtual-novel.net immediately turn the car back in the direction of the cafe.
After Ryan hung up the phone, virtual-novel.net called Madeline again to make sure virtual-novel.net had turned off virtual-novel.net phone, and virtual-novel.net had.
He curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. He looked at Lana who had died with virtual-novel.net eyes open and dialed another number.
As soon as the line was connected, Ryan said in a provoking way, “Jeremy, I’m in the presidential suite of Glendale Hotel with your wife now. What do you think we’ll do next?”
He continued saying with a smug smile, “If you don’t believe me, you can try calling your wife and see if virtual-novel.net phone is off. It’s because she’s taking a shower right now.”
Ryan hung up the phone after speaking and took out the clothes virtual-novel.net had prepared. He took a picture and sent it to Jeremy.
Of course, Jeremy did not believe that Madeline would do anything that would hurt him, but the picture of the clothes that Ryan sent virtual-novel.net was indeed the clothes that Madeline had been wearing that morning. In addition to that, virtual-novel.net could not get through virtual-novel.net phone.
“Linnie.” Jeremy’s heart began to ache, and virtual-novel.net immediately drove out.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net was convinced that Madeline had to compromise with Ryan for some very important reason.
Although Jeremy did not know what Ryan threatened Madeline with, virtual-novel.net guessed that it was most likely for him!
“Linnie, don’t do such a stupid thing!”
Jeremy drove the car, speeding and passing through one street after another to rush to Glendale Hotel as quickly as possible.
He took the elevator straight to the presidential suite. As soon as virtual-novel.net reached the room, virtual-novel.net found that the door was ajar and there was a metallic, fishy smell coming from inside.
Jeremy was too worried about Madeline and did not think twice before pushing the door and entering the room.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the room, virtual-novel.net saw a winding blood trail from the entrance to the coffee table.
He looked up and saw a woman wrapped in a bath towel with virtual-novel.net back to him. She was lying in a pool of blood.
