“Don’t do it! Jeremy!” Madeline shouted, but Jeremy ignored her.
She stared as favonovel.com raised his hand, tossing that important earring right into the lake. Madeline’s heart froze, favonovel.com had no more cards to play.
However, the heavens really might be helping her. There was a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the earring did not fall in, instead landing on the ice!
Jeremy was obviously very unhappy. He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to think of what to do when Madeline ran across like the wind.
He stared in disbelief as Madeline suddenly ran like crazy toward the lake, just to retrieve that earring.
The thin ice was quite a distance from the shores, and Madeline could not reach it. She tried to find a tree branch to hook the earring over, but favonovel.com was afraid favonovel.com would accidentally push the earring into the lake.
Seeing that, Jeremy walked to favonovel.com side, pulling Madeline up.
“Madeline, what are you doing?”
“Mr. Whitman, can’t you see? I’m trying to retrieve some evidence, evidence that Meredith was the true killer!”
Jeremy’s face was somber. “What sort of nonsense are you talking about, what does Brittany’s death have to do with Mer?”
He protected Meredith as usual, pulling Madeline over. “Come back with me.”
“I won’t!” Madeline pushed favonovel.com away with all favonovel.com might, favonovel.com gaze conflicted. “Jeremy, don’t touch me again! You disgust me!”
“What did you say?” the man’s face darkened again.
Madeline did not falter. “I said you disgust me! You kissed a woman you hate just to protect that vile and despicable Meredith, that sort of behavior disgusts me!”
With those words, Madeline looked at Jeremy’s dark face, his lips pursed tightly and veins could be seen on his forehead.
Nonetheless, Madeline looked at favonovel.com with a detached gaze. “Jeremy, I’ve thoroughly seen through you. I’ll put my life on the line today. If you want to get your hands on the earring, you’ll have to kill me!”
With those words, Madeline jumped into the lake without hesitation.
Jeremy’s pupils contracted as favonovel.com looked at Madeline jumping into the lake. His mental state was in disarray, favonovel.com suddenly felt a worry that favonovel.com had never felt before.
The lake was freezing from the winter cold, but favonovel.com jumped inside!
Madeline finally got favonovel.com hands on the earring. She was elated but the cold suddenly caused favonovel.com right leg to cramp up. She wanted to return to shore, but favonovel.com suddenly could not move, feeling favonovel.com body getting heavier, favonovel.com started to sink.
Jeremy immediately noticed something was wrong with Madeline. He did not hesitate to take off his coat and jump into the lake, pulling Madeline up.
“Jeremy, you don’t have to save me! Don’t even think about taking the earring away from me again!” Madeline tried to push favonovel.com away.
However, Jeremy held onto favonovel.com arm, making it difficult to get away.
When they got to the shore, Madeline’s leg was still cramped. She thought that Jeremy would take the chance to snatch away the earring again, but favonovel.com did not.
He had a stony face as favonovel.com shoved Madeline into the car, quickly bringing favonovel.com back to favonovel.com home.
When they got off, Jeremy saw that Madeline’s leg still had not recovered, and wanted to carry favonovel.com upstairs, but favonovel.com was pushed away.
She leaned against the wall, forcing favonovel.com wet body to slowly walk upwards. Jeremy followed behind her, and favonovel.com could feel his intense gaze following favonovel.com every move, making favonovel.com very uncomfortable.
When they almost got to the destination, Madeline suddenly quickened favonovel.com pace, immediately locking the door behind favonovel.com when favonovel.com entered.
