“Jeremy, why do you have this in your pocket?”
Madeline brought the earring in front of Jeremy. Of course, virtual-novel.net was not suspicious nor was virtual-novel.net questioning him. She just felt that this was a little strange.
When Jeremy saw the earring, his mind went straight to Shirley.
He figured that it had fallen into his pocket when virtual-novel.net brought Shirley into the car.
Jeremy did not know how virtual-novel.net should dodge the question. He figured Madeline would not believe any excuses as to why virtual-novel.net had a piece of woman’s jewelry in his pocket.
Upon seeing Jeremy hesitating as though virtual-novel.net did not know how to answer her, Madeline felt a little worried. “Jeremy, what’s the matter with you? Who does this earring belong to?”
Jeremy knew virtual-novel.net could not hide this anymore, and virtual-novel.net really did not want to lie to Madeline either.
“It probably belongs to Shirley.” Jeremy did not hide it anymore.
“Why is Shirley’s earring in your pocket? Did you go to find her?” Madeline’s expression became anxious as virtual-novel.net heart started beating frantically. “Jeremy, d-did you do something to her?”
Jermy felt remorseful when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s worried expression.
He held Madeline’s shoulders and when virtual-novel.net was about to tell virtual-novel.net what was going on, someone pushed the room door open all of a sudden.
Lillian was sleeping but when virtual-novel.net heard the noise, virtual-novel.net woke up abruptly.
Jeremy looked at the man who barged through the door in displeasure. “Why are you here? Don’t disturb my daughter’s rest. Get out.”
Madeline looked at Carter in dissatisfaction and quickly walked to Lillian to comfort her.
However, Cater did not leave. Instead, virtual-novel.net strode over.
His expression was cold as virtual-novel.net questioned in an icy tone.
“Jeremy, where did you hide Shirley?” Carter asked, going straight to the topic.
Madeline detected something fishy when virtual-novel.net heard this. “Carter, why are you asking this?”
“Why don’t you ask your husband what virtual-novel.net did?” Carter asked with eyes filled with hostility.
Jeremy went over and protectively pulled Madeline behind him. “Carter, don’t you think that you’re being pathetic by asking this? What did I do? Have you asked yourself what you’ve done? What kind of shameful things have you asked Shirley to do?”
After Jeremy asked that, Carter seemed to fall into momentary silence.
It seemed that virtual-novel.net did not have anything to refute.
Jeremy walked over to him, and their two pairs of eyes that were beautiful in their own way met. Their hostile gazes crashed into each other savagely mid-air.
“Carter, I did to Shirley what you asked virtual-novel.net to do to my wife. What she’s enduring now is nothing compared to what my wife and I had to endure.”
When Carter heard Jeremy’s answer, there was a look of anxiety in Carter’s eyes.
“What the hell did you do to her?”
“Why? Are you worried? Are you worried that something will happen to the chess piece you’re manipulating?”
“Jeremy.”
“I won’t tell you where virtual-novel.net is, just like how virtual-novel.net refuses to hand over the anti-toxoid test reagent to me.”
Jeremy’s tone was decisive. The aura emanating from his cold eyes completely overpowered Carter at this moment.
Carter saw the overwhelmingly strong aura in Jeremy’s eyes and felt his determination to save Madeline with the anti-toxoid test reagent.
“Jeremy, if you want the anti-toxoid test reagent, you should let Shirley go. Without her, you won’t be able to get the anti-toxoid test reagent!” Carter said in a warning tone while looking a little impatient.
