The police officers quickly ran outside to observe the source of the sound.
Madeline trailed them and saw there was a vase that had shattered at the grass below the bedroom.
The floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony was left open. The curtain was dancing along with the gentle wind.
“It’s very possible that Jeremy jumped down from the window to make his escape. You guys, hurry and go chase after him!” the leader quickly ordered his subordinates.
Madeline looked up to the balcony. She believed Jeremy had the ability and jumping skills. ‘But would virtual-novel.net ‘accidentally’ break the vase and let everyone hear it?’
While virtual-novel.net was deep in virtual-novel.net thoughts, a familiar outline appeared in virtual-novel.net peripheral vision.
Her eyes sparkled as virtual-novel.net met the pair of deep-set eyes that belonged to Jeremy.
Madeline’s heart was pumping hard. Seeing Jeremy leaving from the main entrance, virtual-novel.net quickly went up and deliberately blocked the officer who was leading the troop. “Sir, I sincerely believe that my husband would never kill anyone. I believe someone else is behind this.”
“I can understand how you feel, Mrs. Whitman, but we only look at the evidence.”
“But again, evidence can be forged. Otherwise, how did I end up being in prison for three years when I was innocent?”
“…”
The officer was speechless. He was also involved in Madeline’s case at that time. He could not argue back and only reminded her. “Mrs. Whitman, I believe you’re a person who obeys the law. If Mr. Whitman contacts you, I hope you’ll report it to us first thing. After all, this is a murder case.”
“I also believe that perhaps the truth will be revealed rather late, but it will still be revealed.” Madeline firmly believed it.
She believed the man virtual-novel.net loved would never do things that would let virtual-novel.net down.
After the police left, the reporters at the entrance were chased out by Karen as well.
Madeline went back to virtual-novel.net bedroom and sat at the corner of virtual-novel.net bed helplessly.
Facing the spacious house, virtual-novel.net felt a sense of loneliness that stemmed from deep in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Jeremy…”
Madeline touched the ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger as virtual-novel.net orbs suddenly glistened.
‘Allow me to reveal the truth on your behalf.
‘I’ll make sure to show everyone just how evil Ryan is.’
Madeline made up virtual-novel.net mind. She planned to look for Ryan the next day, but it seemed that Ryan had left for Interpol’s headquarters. She had no way of contacting him.
Madeline was aware that there would be many people eyeing virtual-novel.net movement as the police believed that Jeremy would contact her.
Madeline was looking forward to Jeremy reaching out to virtual-novel.net as well. However, a day had passed and Madeline had not received Jeremy’s call nor message.
It was almost evening. Madeline was accompanying Jackson and Lillian in the courtyard where they were having fun when virtual-novel.net phone suddenly received a message from an unknown number.
In that message, there was only a short sentence. She was being invited to meet up at a certain place at seven o’clock.
Madeline looked at the clock and noticed there was still an hour before the agreed time.
She knew the police would send someone to keep a close eye on her. She turned on virtual-novel.net car’s engine and intentionally went to the mall where virtual-novel.net window-shopped for half an hour. She also bought virtual-novel.net children’s favorite snacks.
Then, Madeline went to a dessert shop and sat there all by herself. She ordered some food before going to the female washroom.
She thought the police would not follow virtual-novel.net into the washroom. After virtual-novel.net entered, virtual-novel.net put on a wig, wore a sexy outfit, and put on a pair of sunglasses before walking out.
After leaving the mall, Madeline was sure that virtual-novel.net had shaken off those officers. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net heard fast footsteps approaching virtual-novel.net hurriedly.
She reacted fast and spun around to look. Suddenly, a man appeared behind virtual-novel.net and covered virtual-novel.net mouth!
