“Linnie!”
Jeremy displayed a look of surprise, and his nervous heartbeat eased slightly.
He started to walk in Madeline’s direction, but in the next second, virtual-novel.net saw Ryan standing beside Madeline.
Anger suddenly started to swirl in Jeremy’s eyes. The police and Interpol agents who came with virtual-novel.net also noticed Madeline.
They also recognized that the man in black clothes and a cap was Ryan.
“Yes, that’s Ryan Jones alright. We have to deploy operations immediately, but first, we must ensure the safety of the hostage.”
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows as virtual-novel.net also had his concerns. “There are too many tourists here. If we arrest virtual-novel.net rashly, you might cause panic and even casualties.”
He took into consideration a series of accidents that could happen if Ryan were to be arrested now. All the while, his gaze was glued on Madeline and virtual-novel.net never once moved his eyes away.
No one could understand the torment in his heart at this moment.
Both the police and his colleagues from Interpol thought that virtual-novel.net made sense.
Jeremy looked at Madeline who was being controlled by Ryan and his eyes narrowed. He had already thought of a plan that was the best of both worlds.
Ryan, who was on the viewing platform with Madeline, glanced at the time again. It would be seven o’clock in about ten seconds.
The moment when the fireworks were in full bloom, virtual-novel.net would assume that virtual-novel.net had already owned Madeline. He would also assume that virtual-novel.net had so tragically lost.
As a man, this was the only thing virtual-novel.net wanted in the end.
However, there were only a few gleaming stars under the dark blue night sky ten seconds later. The fireworks that virtual-novel.net had been expecting to see did not appear.
He thought there was a delay, but after a few minutes, the customer service apologized from the loudspeaker. “We’re sorry. Due to some issues with our equipment, the fireworks show tonight will not be held as scheduled. Please leave the fireworks-viewing platform in an orderly fashion. Thank you for your cooperation.”
After hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, Ryan’s expectations and hope seemed to be smashed in an instant.
The tourists around them left one after another after having their spirits dampened. Some of them even spat out some curses, and at this moment, Ryan’s mood was also the same as theirs.
The final wish that virtual-novel.net was holding onto was shattered into dust.
Almost all of the tourists beside virtual-novel.net had left, but Ryan still stood motionless in the same place.
He just wanted to spend half a day with Madeline as boyfriend and girlfriend, even if it was for a while.
However, in the end, virtual-novel.net still could not get it.
“Let’s leave too.” Madeline saw that there was no one around them and did not want to stay any longer. However, Ryan suddenly grasped virtual-novel.net wrist forcefully.
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net eyes in surprise. When virtual-novel.net saw Ryan looking in a certain direction with a dark gaze, Madeline followed his line of sight. Yet, before virtual-novel.net saw anything, Ryan pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms.
Compared to the brutal strength from before, Madeline could feel the gentleness of Ryan’s movements at this moment.
Madeline wanted to break free in disgust, but then virtual-novel.net heard Ryan’s sarcastic voice in virtual-novel.net ears.
“Heh, no wonder there are no fireworks. Jeremy, you’ve finally found us.”
“Jeremy?” Madeline turned virtual-novel.net head abruptly when virtual-novel.net heard this. She tried to look over, but Ryan was pressing virtual-novel.net head down.
Ryan smirked when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy running toward the viewing platform. He put his arms around Madeline’s shoulders and forcibly turned to lead virtual-novel.net away.
Seeing this situation, Jeremy immediately lifted his long legs and quickly ran up to them.
“Linnie!”
“Jeremy? Is that Jeremy’s voice?” Madeline stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and angrily broke free of Ryan’s hand. “Let go of me! Jeremy is here, I want to see Jeremy!”
“Eveline, give me a little more time. I won’t hurt you again,” Ryan requested humbly while holding Madeline’s wrist tighter.
“No! Jeremy is here! I can’t go with you anymore because he’ll be sad.” Madeline desperately tried to break free.
Ryan frowned and knew virtual-novel.net had no choice now. “Eveline, don’t blame me for this. I must take you away,” virtual-novel.net said while pulling Madeline’s wrist and preparing to leave.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net was forced to turn around, Madeline felt something whizzing past virtual-novel.net ears. Then, the grip on virtual-novel.net wrist started to release slowly.
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net eyes in surprise and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her!
