Jeremy did not call out to Madeline as Jeremy was worried that virtual-novel.net would alert Ryan of his whereabouts.
Ryan did not notice that Jeremy was approaching. He opened the car door and ordered Madeline to get in, “Get in the car. I’ll take you to see your Jeremy.”
Madeline glanced at Ryan questioningly and frowned before turning around reluctantly.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net was about to get in the car, Madeline caught Jeremy speeding over from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
She turned virtual-novel.net head to look as a surprised smile suddenly appeared on virtual-novel.net face.
Jeremy also noticed that Madeline had spotted him. He wanted to tell Madeline to pretend that virtual-novel.net had not seen virtual-novel.net to avoid being discovered by Ryan, but Madeline was quicker and shouted at virtual-novel.net like it was the more natural thing to do.
“Jeremy!”
Madeline tugged virtual-novel.net lips into a smile and called out to Jeremy. At the same time, virtual-novel.net tried to run toward him.
Eventually, Ryan realized that Jeremy had already discovered his whereabouts. Seeing that Madeline was trying to run toward Jeremy, virtual-novel.net quickly grabbed Madeline and pulled virtual-novel.net to him.
Jeremy wanted to stop him, but virtual-novel.net was a distance away, after all. As such, virtual-novel.net could only watch as Madeline was restrained by Ryan.
“Ryan, let go of Linnie!”
“Don’t say such naive things. I came especially for her, so do you think I’ll let virtual-novel.net go?”
Ryan raised his dark gaze as a chuckle appeared on the corners of his mouth.
However, perhaps it was because of his injury, so Ryan did not look very good. He appeared to be enduring the discomfort this entire time.
“Jeremy, I know that me hiding now is just a struggle before being caught, but let me tell you, I’ll make you feel the pain of losing the love of your life before they catch me.”
After Ryan said that, virtual-novel.net stuffed Madeline into the car with brute force before immediately getting into the car and ordering the driver, “Start driving!”
“Linnie!” Jeremy rushed over and saw Madeline under Ryan’s control as virtual-novel.net patted the window of the car vigorously. It seemed as if virtual-novel.net was saying something to virtual-novel.net with a panicked expression. Judging from virtual-novel.net lip movements, Madeline was calling out Jeremy’s name the entire time.
Jeremy knitted his eyebrows and quickly hailed a cab from the side of the road to follow them.
Ryan, who was sitting in the car, glanced at the back. After knowing that Jeremy was following him, curled the corners of his lips into a shadow of a smile. Then, virtual-novel.net turned his gaze to Madeline’s uneasy face. His stern gaze suddenly became much softer.
“Eveline, I won’t hurt you as long as you’re obedient.”
Madeline looked at Ryan in fear and shrank toward the window to try to stretch out the distance between virtual-novel.net and Ryan as much as possible.
Ryan did not mind. He glanced at the car following virtual-novel.net again and ordered the driver, “Speed up. The money will be yours after we reach the destination.”
He threw a thick pile of dollar bills to the passenger seat. The driver’s eyes lit up as virtual-novel.net immediately slammed on the accelerator. He even ran a red light.
Ryan smiled in satisfaction when virtual-novel.net saw the car behind farther and farther behind.
He wound down his tense emotions and leaned in the car seat in exhaustion.
The gunshot wound on his shoulder that had not been properly treated was extremely painful, but virtual-novel.net could only endure it.
He looked sideways at the terrified Madeline and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After turning and swerving around, the car finally stopped at the door of a villa that looked very dilapidated.
Ryan forcibly pulled Madeline inside. As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the room, virtual-novel.net pushed Madeline against the wall. His dark eyes stared straight at Madeline aggressively.
His complexion looked bad since the wound was now inflamed and virtual-novel.net was in debilitating pain.
He also knew that virtual-novel.net would be arrested in a short time.
He knew very well that virtual-novel.net was weak and at a disadvantage now, so virtual-novel.net could no longer contend with Jeremy. Now, the only thing virtual-novel.net could win was Madeline—the woman who was driven half insane by him.
Madeline was disgusted when virtual-novel.net was held by Ryan against the wall, but virtual-novel.net was more afraid of him.
She had forgotten many things, but virtual-novel.net did not forget Ryan’s cruel and terrifying methods.
When virtual-novel.net was looking at Ryan’s ominous eyes now, virtual-novel.net felt cold all over.
It was also because of this fear that virtual-novel.net gained some strength and virtual-novel.net pushed Ryan away before bolting toward the door. However, Ryan was quick and grabbed Madeline’s arm to pull virtual-novel.net to the living room.
“Let go of me, you b*stard!” Madeline struggled out of Ryan’s hand. However, due to inertia, virtual-novel.net fell backward and accidentally fell to the ground.
Just when Madeline was about to get up, Ryan quickly walked to her, crouched down, and grabbed Madeline’s foot with the palm of his hand. Then, virtual-novel.net pulled Madeline to his front with brute force.
In the next second, virtual-novel.net leaned over and brought his crimson eyes close to Madeline’s eyes. A smirk then appeared on his lips, looking as if virtual-novel.net was bound to win.
“Eveline, do you know that you’re my only chance of winning? Don’t blame me, blame yourself for falling in love with Jeremy.”
