Madeline summed up all virtual-novel.net strength to avoid it, but virtual-novel.net still could not as virtual-novel.net had not eaten anything for an entire day. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net sustained all sorts of torture from Ryan.
“F*ck off!”
Madeline roared, but Ryan was gripping the back of virtual-novel.net head to prevent virtual-novel.net from running away. Ryan got away with planting his lips on Madeline’s cheek in the end.
The act pierced a thousand arrows through Jeremy’s heart as it broke.
Strands of Madeline’s short hair ended up covering virtual-novel.net face amidst virtual-novel.net struggle, yet it did not stop Jeremy from seeing that his beloved was crying.
“It hurts, doesn’t it, Jeremy? If you don’t want Eveline to suffer anymore, then transfer all of Whitman Corporation’s stocks to my name and publicly announce that Whitman Corporation has gone bankrupt.”
Ryan’s eyes were filled with aggressiveness as virtual-novel.net demanded.
Madeline’s wet and tear-stricken face snapped up, virtual-novel.net gaze looking firm. “Don’t listen to him, Jeremy! He won’t let me go even if you fulfill all of his wishes. Don’t give the crazy b*stard anything virtual-novel.net wants!”
Breathing itself felt like a difficult feat as Jeremy took in Madeline’s hollow features.
Despite being well aware that Ryan could not be trusted to keep his word, Jeremy had no other choice but to do as virtual-novel.net said.
He would not let go of any shred of hope that virtual-novel.net would be alright.
“I’ll give you anything you want as long as you leave Linne alone, Ryan. Even my life, so stop touching her!” Jeremy replied.
Ryan curled his lips in satisfaction.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head as if virtual-novel.net life depended on it. “No, Jeremy, don’t agree to it! Listen to me. Don’t say yes to anything virtual-novel.net asks. He has never planned on letting me go at all. What’s the point of me living if you’re just going to give virtual-novel.net your life?”
“Linnie!”
Ryan’s expression darkened at Madeline’s words.
“Why do I feel like you’re forcing me to do what I don’t want to again, Eveline?” His sinister tone sounded in Madeline’s ears.
He suddenly pushed Madeline toward the bed. Caught off guard, virtual-novel.net fell onto the floor and yelled out in pain.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy felt a dull ache that was as if virtual-novel.net had been hit as well when virtual-novel.net watched Madeline fall weakly onto the ground.
Ryan took the phone mid-call and walked toward Madeline to pull virtual-novel.net up.
“I’ll have someone transfer all the stocks now, Ryan! Leave Linnie alone! Do you hear me?” Jeremy roared, his furious eyes turning into slits. He could not bear to see the scene before his eyes.
How could virtual-novel.net bear to see Ryan tormenting virtual-novel.net like that?
Hearing Jeremy roar through the phone, Ryan turned to meet Jeremy’s misty and red eyes with mirthful ones of his own. “You’d better mean what you say, or else…”
Ryan paused meaningfully and pulled Madeline into his arms forcefully.
Just then, Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net teary gaze that held the strong glint Ryan had been trying to smooth away and glared at him.
Her gaze stunned Ryan for a moment. Madeline took the chance to push virtual-novel.net away while virtual-novel.net pressed the clip virtual-novel.net had been holding on the entire time against virtual-novel.net wrist.
Both Ryan and Jeremy, through the screen, felt their hearts lurch at the sight.
“Linnie! What are you doing?” Jeremy was frantic, his heart feeling like it was being held above an abyss by a thread. “Let’s not be rash, Linnie!”
Ryan seemed much calmer in comparison, but virtual-novel.net was panicking internally. “What are you doing, Eveline?”
Madeline curled virtual-novel.net pink lips into a cold smirk that graced virtual-novel.net pale and drained complexion. “I won’t give you the chance to threaten the people around me anymore, Ryan.”
