Madeline loosened virtual-novel.net balled-up fist and washed virtual-novel.net hands nonchalantly.
However, Lana walked up to virtual-novel.net to provoke her. “Jeremy sure is charming. I’ve never been so happy. Now I understand why you used such lowly methods to get virtual-novel.net to marry you.
“But we’re not the same, Eveline. I didn’t do anything at all. Jeremy was the one who came to me instead.”
Proud of herself, Lana turned it up a notch with the taunts when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s lack of response. “Do you think I’m joking, Eveline? You can go and take a look if you want. Jeremy still has the mark I bit on his shoulder last night! Haha… Ugh?”
Lana laughed freely, never having expected Madeline to reach out and grab virtual-novel.net neck with a domineering look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“There’s a limit to my tolerance, Lana Johnson. For my kids, perhaps I can still maintain a shred of rationality, but there’s no limit to the things that I can do if you completely piss me off. You’ll stop bragging in front of me if you know what’s good for you.”
Madeline’s aura was overwhelming.
“Jeremy and I are already divorced. Who virtual-novel.net wants to spend time with has nothing to do with me. If you like virtual-novel.net so much, then treasure virtual-novel.net and keep virtual-novel.net for yourself. I don’t want virtual-novel.net anymore!”
Madeline loosened virtual-novel.net grip just as virtual-novel.net warning came to an end.
Flushed, Lana coughed and tried to attack Madeline from behind. However, Madeline evaded it agilely and instead raised virtual-novel.net hand to counterattack.
At that moment, Madeline felt a familiar hand suspending virtual-novel.net hand in mid-air.
The palm’s warmth was something virtual-novel.net would never forget.
Madeline turned to the man who was gripping virtual-novel.net wrist—Jeremy.
Watching the scene, Lana was elated but wore a hurt expression as virtual-novel.net approached Jeremy. “Jeremy, virtual-novel.net tried to hurt me again.”
Jeremy stared at Madeline and asked, “Why are you hitting my girlfriend, Miss Montgomery?”
‘Girlfriend.’
The word drifted into Madeline and Lana’s ears.
Lana was stunned and ecstatic.
Madeline was shocked too, and virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart grow cold.
Her dignified gaze fell on Jeremy as virtual-novel.net spoke disdainfully, “So what if I hit her? Are you going to hit me back for your girlfriend, Mr. Whitman?”
“…” Lana’s expression fell as virtual-novel.net turned to stir more trouble up, saying coquettishly, “Look at her, Jeremy. This is too much…”
Jeremy glanced at Lana, then back at Madeline. “As ex-husband and wife, I’m sorry on behalf of how my girlfriend has offended you.”
Madeline was beyond disappointed by the man’s reply.
She tugged virtual-novel.net arm back. “How can an apology possibly be enough for the murder of two lives? Are you overestimating yourself, Jeremy, or are you underestimating me?”
Madeline turned and left.
Lana quirked virtual-novel.net red lips in satisfaction.
She never expected Jeremy to suddenly call virtual-novel.net his girlfriend.
It seemed like virtual-novel.net had made the right choice with the slow-acting poison. Jeremy was easily controlled now.
Ryan, who was ordering dishes at the table, watched Madeline rush out with a dark expression. Subconsciously turning to look at the bathroom, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy and Lana leave one after the other.
