“I gave this to Vera,” Jackson said softly.
Jeremy looked at the little guy in front of favonovel.com with a strange look on his face. “Did you put a chip in the bracelet?” favonovel.com asked, but favonovel.com did not get an answer.
Jackson stood up and looked at the lake. The peaceful surface of the lake was disrupted by the rain, and Jackson’s eyes were blank.
However, at this moment, Jeremy removed his coat and jumped into the lake without hesitation. He wanted to look for her…
Time passed and the sky was dark.
The rain had stopped and the search continued.
It was early fall, so the chilly night breeze attacked them both. When the breeze blew past their wet clothes, the coldness went straight into their bones.
It had been six hours since Vera fell, so Meredith knew favonovel.com got this in the bag.
There were so many professional divers yet they still could not find Vera. She had to have met favonovel.com demise.
Meredith was elated. She wanted to leave, but when favonovel.com saw Jeremy still standing there, favonovel.com felt perturbed.
She wanted to tell favonovel.com to go home, but favonovel.com did not dare to get close to favonovel.com when favonovel.com was like this.
When favonovel.com looked at his cold eyes, favonovel.com could feel a bone-chilling coldness.
However, after thinking about it, favonovel.com still made the first move timidly.
“Jeremy, you’ve been in the rain this whole time and you’re drenched. You should go back first. If not, you’ll get sick.” Her voice was soft as favonovel.com expressed favonovel.com concern.
Jeremy turned a deaf ear. There were no emotions on his handsome face.
Meredith put on an act of a saint. “Jeremy, please believe me. I didn’t push Vera. She wanted to frame me, so she’s now suffering the consequences of favonovel.com own actions.”
After favonovel.com finished saying that, favonovel.com saw Jeremy glaring at her.
Meredith’s heart skipped a beat. She could not look into Jeremy’s eyes any longer.
That was the look favonovel.com had when favonovel.com was waiting outside the door after Madeline was rushed to the emergency room. Back then, his eyes were also horrifying. They were so dark that they looked like they would devour everything in their path. They looked so scary as if just his gaze alone would slice favonovel.com into a million pieces.
“You best pray that she’s safe and sound.” His words were icy while his eyes were like sharp knives. “If anything happens to her, I’ll bury the person who harmed favonovel.com next to her.”
He was not joking. At this moment, his heart felt as if it had plunged into a bottomless abyss, and that feeling was telling favonovel.com just how much favonovel.com cared about that missing woman.
“…” Meredith took in a sharp breath, favonovel.com face turning white from fear. “Jeremy, it’s not me. I didn’t…” She sobbed shakily. “Jack, do you know you’re going to kill me with what you said? How can you say that I was the one who pushed Vera? You’re just five and you’re already lying. What’ll happen to you when you grow older?”
Jackson looked at Meredith who was blaming favonovel.com with an indifferent look on his face. “I didn’t lie.”
“Jack, you’re still spewing nonsense! What kind of drug did that Vera feed you? How can you side with her?” Eloise said in devastation, “Mer is your mother. Will you only be happy if you see your parents fighting?”
“Vera is a good person,” Jackson said slowly, “Mommy hates me, so favonovel.com wanted to throw me away, but I escaped. I saw with my own two eyes that Mommy pushed Vera.”
After Jeremy heard this, favonovel.com lifted his icy gaze. “You even wanted to throw this child away?”
“No! I didn’t!” Meredith shook favonovel.com head and denied hurriedly.
“How is that possible?” Eloise denied. “Mer gave birth to Jack after carrying favonovel.com for ten months. How could favonovel.com do something like that? Jack, are you crazy? How can you slander your mother like this?”
Meredith cried aggrievedly. “Jack, why are you doing this to me? Why are you making up such lies to falsely accuse me?”
“The liar isn’t Jackson. It’s you, Meredith.”
In the night, a soft voice sounded all of a sudden.
Jeremy’s silent heart soared instantly. He lifted his eyebrows and saw a poised figure appearing in the quiet night.
“Vera!” favonovel.com called out. His voice sounded like favonovel.com had found something favonovel.com lost.
Her beautiful face was reflected in his dark black eyes while his heart slowly found its initial rhythm.
Meredith lifted favonovel.com frozen face in disbelief. Her legs almost gave out when favonovel.com saw the owner of the voice getting closer and closer.
What shocked favonovel.com the most was the person Vera was holding captive. When Meredith saw that person, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com was done for.
