Madeline did not expect the police to arrest Jeremy right this second.
When the handcuffs were on Jeremy’s wrist, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net vision turning black.
Jeremy did not even frown. Using the extra support, virtual-novel.net leaped over the railing and went back to the roof.
When the media saw Jeremy getting back up, they started aiming their cameras at virtual-novel.net while furiously taking pictures.
The young master of the wealthiest family in Glendale was being arrested for murder.
This scene of his arrest would definitely go viral.
Jeremy looked at the frowning Madeline and did not say anything to her. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net just looked at virtual-novel.net intensely.
When their eyes met, Madeline could tell what Jeremy wanted to say to her.
“Mr. Whitman, come with us. We’ll get to the bottom of this if you’re really innocent. Retreat!” the police said as virtual-novel.net took Jeremy back to the station.
Jeremy did not want to run away anymore, but before virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net stole a glance at Madeline.
Madeline averted virtual-novel.net gaze while pretending to be calm. She did not want to look at him.
Jeremy understood and smiled lightly. There was no troubled expression on his face. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net looked relieved.
However, before virtual-novel.net could walk away, virtual-novel.net heard footsteps approaching him.
He turned around and saw Lillian behind him.
Jeremy felt tears welling up in his eyes. He did not expect the child to run back to virtual-novel.net at this moment and grab the corner of his shirt.
“Lily.” He bent down and caressed the little girl’s hair. Then, virtual-novel.net apologized. “Go back with Mommy. Daddy can’t go home with you now.”
Lillian frowned and shook virtual-novel.net head seriously when virtual-novel.net looked at Jeremy. Then, virtual-novel.net tugged the corner of Jeremy’s shirt like virtual-novel.net was asking virtual-novel.net to go home with her.
However, Jeremy knew virtual-novel.net was unable to leave now.
“Lily, be a good girl. I promise I’ll go home as soon as I can. I’ll take Lily and Jack for burgers and then we’ll go to Pirate Land.”
Lillian’s eyes turned red. She shook virtual-novel.net head furiously while looking at Jeremy aggrievedly.
She wanted virtual-novel.net daddy.
She wanted virtual-novel.net daddy now.
Looking at the reluctant little girl, Jeremy felt horrible, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net felt at ease.
Madeline ran over quickly. She had no choice but to pull Lillian’s hand away and yank virtual-novel.net into virtual-novel.net arms.
“Lily, be a good girl.”
Lillian pouted aggrievedly. Then, tears started to fall from virtual-novel.net eyes silently.
At this moment, Ryan barged into the roof hurriedly.
He was still the elegant-looking prince, looking refined and humble as always.
His kind face was filled with confusion until virtual-novel.net walked to Madeline’s side and asked, “Eveline, are you okay?”
Madeline looked at Jeremy from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net smiled at Ryan. “I’m fine.”
The journalists and passersby started gossiping among themselves when they saw this.
“It looks like Eveline is really dating Ryan again.”
“I didn’t expect this woman to be so unscrupulous.”
“The moment something bad happened to Mr. Whitman, virtual-novel.net immediately ran to another man.”
“That’s why they say there’s no true love in the upper-class. This woman only has profits in virtual-novel.net mind.”
All kinds of suspicions and beratings started drifting into Madeline’s ears. However, virtual-novel.net stayed silent and endured all of it. She pretended that virtual-novel.net did not care before calling out to Jeremy who was about to turn around.
“Jeremy.” Her voice was flat when virtual-novel.net looked into the man’s confused eyes. “Let’s talk this out now that the media is here.”
She clenched virtual-novel.net fist and was on the verge of a breakdown. However, virtual-novel.net forced virtual-novel.net tears back into virtual-novel.net eyes.
“From now on, aside from the three children, there’s nothing between us anymore. From now on, your life and death and your future marriages will have nothing to do with me.”
Jeremy was taken aback, but virtual-novel.net immediately understood Madeline’s hidden meaning.
He looked at Madeline’s frigid expression and smiled. Then, virtual-novel.net replied briefly, “Okay.”
