Madeline was stunned and did not even have the chance to deny it when Jeremy gently lifted virtual-novel.net chin, his warm breath closing in on her, causing virtual-novel.net heart to beat wildly. She heard a sinister laugh from him. “I’ve said it before, even if you die, you need to die by my hands.”
His magnetic voice reverberated in Madeline’s ears like a nightmare.
Madeline could only state in horror at the man’s evil smile as virtual-novel.net heart thumped against virtual-novel.net chest. He was not saving her, virtual-novel.net just wanted to kill virtual-novel.net himself!
“Hand me the earring,” Jeremy demanded.
Remembering the fact that virtual-novel.net had already destroyed evidence for Meredith that could have proven Madeline’s innocence, Madeline knew virtual-novel.net absolutely could not hand the earring over to Jeremy.
She hurriedly turned around but was held in place by Jeremy.
“Madeline, don’t make me repeat myself, give it to me.” Jeremy’s tone got a lot colder.
Madeline frantically shook virtual-novel.net head, clenching virtual-novel.net fist tightly. “I won’t give it to you! I want to hand this to the police, I won’t let Meredith remain free!”
Jeremy’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net said, “Madeline, you really never learn.”
With some force, virtual-novel.net pulled Madeline right into his embrace. He used his hands to hold on to Madeline’s, prying open virtual-novel.net fingers one at a time.
Even though Madeline was extremely anxious, the moment virtual-novel.net thought about Meredith’s true, evil self, virtual-novel.net grip tightened.
She was also immensely disappointed in Jeremy. As virtual-novel.net struggled, virtual-novel.net angrily said, “Jeremy, I really don’t know how you could] ignore so much evil just to protect Meredith! I really regret being so blind that I fell for a man like you.”
As Madeline said that in frustration, Jeremy suddenly bent his head down and kissed her.
Other than three years ago, under the influence of drugs, Jeremy had never kissed her.
Even when they did things that were reserved for married couples, virtual-novel.net never once kissed her.
However, virtual-novel.net was doing it right now.
Madeline’s eyes widened as virtual-novel.net froze, feeling Jeremy’s lips and teeth clash with hers, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net lost the ability to breathe.
After a few seconds, Madeline started to struggle with all virtual-novel.net might, virtual-novel.net did not want to turn into that man’s plaything.
However, Jeremy was too strong, virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net tighter the more virtual-novel.net struggled, and there seemed to be some sort of power coming from virtual-novel.net that caused virtual-novel.net to be unable to move, slowly diminishing virtual-novel.net ability to fight back.
Madeline did not know how long it was before Jeremy released her, virtual-novel.net looked at the smiling man with virtual-novel.net heart frantically beating.
“Madeline, you say you don’t love me, but your reaction was quite honest.” Jeremy smiled softly, his tone mocking and filled with ridicule.
Madeline’s face reddened and was about to retort when virtual-novel.net noticed the earring in Jeremy’s hand. Looking at virtual-novel.net hand, the earring seemed to have been taken away by him.
She finally realized Jeremy’s intentions. She wanted to laugh, but could only feel a sense of disgust.
“Jeremy, in order to protect Meredith, you’re even willing to sell yourself!”
Jeremy barely spared virtual-novel.net a glance before walking toward the nearby lake.
Madeline chased after virtual-novel.net in realization. “Jeremy, what are you trying to do? Don’t!”
