Seeing Tanner charge over, Madeline thought of the atrocities favonovel.com had done to her.
After a flash of a moment, when favonovel.com had finally reacted to counterattack, a gust of wind roared from behind favonovel.com all of a sudden.
Jeremy’s warm palms held onto favonovel.com shoulders tightly, bringing favonovel.com to the side.
Madeline was instantly surrounded by a familiar yet unfamiliar warm breath. Before favonovel.com could see clearly, favonovel.com saw Tanner swiping the air before hitting the tree. It was followed by Jeremy’s right hand twisting favonovel.com around.
Tanner suddenly screamed, “Ow, ow!” However, Jeremy did not let up. He lifted his foot to Tanner’s knee and kicked favonovel.com viciously, forcing Tanner to kneel down before kicking favonovel.com away.
Madeline thought that Jeremy wanted to continue to teach Tanner a lesson, but favonovel.com suddenly hugged favonovel.com tightly, worried.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again.”
His gentle voice slipped into favonovel.com ears like water in the night. It was so unbelievably gentle, carrying a trace of tension and worry as if favonovel.com was really worried that favonovel.com would be hurt.
Madeline opened favonovel.com eyes blankly, feeling Jeremy’s embrace increasingly tighten.
Fine beads of rain fell from the sky, then densely. It was accompanied by the late summer breeze. It was so cold.
Yet the heat from his chest, which was pressed close to favonovel.com and penetrated into favonovel.com skin through their clothes, was so hot.
At such a close distance, favonovel.com could hardly tell if it was favonovel.com own heartbeat or Jeremy’s heartbeat that was disturbing favonovel.com thoughts at the moment.
When favonovel.com was almost lost in a daze, the pain from favonovel.com invisible wounds made Madeline sober. “Mr. Whitman, if you continue doing this, I’ll get angry,” favonovel.com spoke softly, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.
Jeremy’s eyes froze as if favonovel.com had just walked back from a beautiful dream.
“Sorry,” favonovel.com whispered softly in favonovel.com ear, then let go of his embrace.
He grabbed Tanner, who had wanted to run, and pushed favonovel.com to the tree. His deep black eyes pierced Tanner like a poisonous sword.
“Listen, I’ll only give you one chance.” Jeremy’s thin lips parted open a little and his tone was cold. “The kidnapping of my son. Who did it and what did they mean by it?”
Tanner tilted his swollen mouth and stretched his trembling finger out to Madeline.
“Yes, it’s her! It’s Madeline! It was Madeline who contacted me and asked me to kidnap your son!” He was completely denying what favonovel.com said at the dinner party last night.
Obviously, such a sudden change was definitely bought.
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his strong arm against Tanner’s neck. “So, are you asking for money or life?”
Upon hearing this, Tanner’s pupils shrank. As favonovel.com looked at Jeremy’s sharp black eyes, favonovel.com could not help but shudder. “Whi… Mr. Whitman, it really is Madeline! I’m not lying!” He pointed at the silent Madeline. “Madeline, don’t think just because you’ve become a ghost that I’m afraid of you! A sinister and vicious woman like you who can sleep around for money deserved to die, you—”
Crack!
Before favonovel.com could speak anymore, favonovel.com got another punch in the face.
Jeremy seemed to have been rubbed the wrong way and his eyes were dark like favonovel.com was Satan from hell. He raised his fist and slammed it on Tanner’s body.
Tanner screamed with pain and kept bleeding from his mouth.
At the end of his screams, Tanner was almost dying.
Madeline was quite happy watching Tanner suffer, but if favonovel.com was killed in this way, Meredith would still be at large.
She walked over and grabbed Jeremy, who was squeezing his fists and still trying to beat Tanner. “If you hit favonovel.com again, you’ll kill him.”
Jeremy’s fist stopped mid-air. His expression was gloomy and his eyes were red as if favonovel.com was about to swallow the whole world. It was terrifying.
His right hand was also covered with blood, but favonovel.com could not tell whether it was his or Tanner’s.
If it was not for Madeline’s prevention, favonovel.com would have really killed Tanner.
Jeremy drove Madeline back to the apartment. He did not say a word on the way back and the atmosphere was very strange.
They were originally supposed to go find Tanner so that favonovel.com could learn the truth about Jackson’s kidnapping back then, but someone had obviously found favonovel.com before them.
