Tanner was positively terrified, the color draining from his face as his pupils dilated from the fear.
“Go away, Madeline! Stop bothering me! I… I was just doing what I was paid to do!”
“Tanner Long!” Meredith immediately interrupted favonovel.com and nervously called for the bodyguards. “Quickly, take this man away!”
Tanner pointed a trembling finger at Meredith, paying favonovel.com words no heed.
“Madeline Crawford! If… If you want to haunt someone for revenge, then haunt her! It was all Meredith’s orders!”
With Tanner’s words, Meredith felt favonovel.com body growing cold. Feeling a tyrannical storm of frost swirling around her, favonovel.com could not imagine the expression Jeremy was wearing on his face.
“What’s happening? Who is this man? What does favonovel.com mean?” Mrs. Whitman quickly rushed over to ask.
Meredith frantically tried to change the subject. “Mrs. Whitman! This is Tanner Long. He and Madeline used to be involved illicitly. They also planned Jack’s kidnapping together!”
“So it’s you!” Eloise glared furiously at Tanner. “You were the one who helped Madeline kidnap my grandchild! You b*stard! Madeline Crawford has already died for favonovel.com sins, yet you’re still alive? You need to die!”
“Indeed.”
Jeremy’s icy tone froze Meredith’s breath in favonovel.com lungs.
Now that favonovel.com had sobered up, Tanner felt the need to flee. However, favonovel.com felt something tighten around his neck.
“Repeat the words you just said.”
Jeremy’s bloodthirsty eyes reminded favonovel.com of a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed and coming for his neck.
Tanner shivered, cold sweat beading unstoppably from the fear favonovel.com felt.
Meredith’s pupils constricted at the scene before her. She was afraid that the truth of what happened back then would come out.
She staggered forward. “Calm down, Jeremy. Let’s just ignore this person, okay? He’s ostentatious, and all favonovel.com does is lie. We can’t trust a man who lied his way into drinking and eating our food. Let’s just let favonovel.com go!”
Jeremy sent favonovel.com a cold glare from the corner of his eyes. The corners of his lips tilted into a cold but handsome curve as favonovel.com stared at Meredith before parting his lips. “Ostentatious? All favonovel.com does is lie? I’m pretty sure that’s not what you told me back then. You were very assertive and certain when you told me favonovel.com was Madeline’s ex-boyfriend.”
“I… Jeremy, I didn’t lie to you. If anything, it would be Tanner and Madeline who lied to you…” Meredith rambled anxiously.
“I guess we’ll find out then… Who actually lied to me.”
Jeremy’s frosty tone sunk ice slabs in Meredith’s heart, freezing over the blood in favonovel.com veins.
“…”
With that, Jeremy pulled Tanner by his tie and drilled his icy gaze into the man. All while reaching out to point a finger in Madeline’s direction. “You see that face? Tell me why you think she’s haunting you of all people.”
“…” Tanner had just sobered slightly when Jeremy spoke. However, all efforts were wasted as favonovel.com followed the other’s hand to look at Madeline. His mind fogged as his legs grew weak.
It was hard to stand strong and good when you had done so much bad.
Staring at Madeline, his complexion paled as favonovel.com began to beg for mercy. He blurted out the truth to distance himself.
“It’s got nothing to do with me! Really, it doesn’t! Yes, Madeline, I did something wrong, but I only wanted to sleep with you back then! Everything else was Meredith’s plan. She was the one who told me to lie! I never even touched you at all! Madeline, if you want revenge, get it from Meredith! She’s the one who pulled the strings!”
