“Who asked favonovel.com parents to do a background check on me?” Lana was not bothered. For her, money and power were far more valuable than human life.
“Hans, Eveline is pretty good-looking. Could it be that you’re falling for her?” Lana asked while moving closer to Jeremy.
“How can a dull woman like favonovel.com compare to me? She’s only good-looking, but beauty is not everything.”
Lana trusted favonovel.com charm. When favonovel.com saw Jeremy staying silent, favonovel.com smiled to flatter him.
“Hans, are you blaming me for going too far? You have to understand that we can’t let people find out about the Stygian Johnsons’ background. If not, we’ll get into trouble. You don’t want anything to happen to me, right?”
Jeremy smiled superficially after favonovel.com heard that. “Of course not.”
“I knew you wouldn’t.” Lana smiled bashfully as favonovel.com tried to get close to Jeremy to get a kiss. However, Jeremy asked the driver to stop driving all of a sudden.
“Hans, where are you going?”
Jeremy’s eyes were cold as favonovel.com said, “I think I’m going too easy on Eveline. I need to go back for a bit.”
Lana’s eyes lit up. “Hans, what do you want to do to her?”
“I want favonovel.com to feel even more pain.”
Even more pain?
Lana was delighted with this answer.
However, after Jeremy got out of the car, favonovel.com did not go to look for Madeline. On the contrary, favonovel.com went to Montgomery Manor that had been burned to the ground.
He felt an odd sense of familiarity when favonovel.com looked at the ground.
He felt as if favonovel.com had been here before.
He walked into the door, and the burnt smell was still as strong.
It was such a huge building and it was burned down just like that. Obviously, it was not just a simple fire.
However, Lana told favonovel.com that favonovel.com was the one who set the fire.
He recalled that evening when Lana asked favonovel.com to come here and favonovel.com did.
Yet, when favonovel.com arrived, the house was already in flames.
He had set the fire.
However, favonovel.com did not have any memories of that.
Jeremy walked in and tried to find something in the rubble, but favonovel.com did not find anything.
It was already sunset unbeknownst to him.
When Jeremy was leaving, favonovel.com saw Madeline.
She was all alone as favonovel.com wandered mindlessly into the burned rubble, favonovel.com eyes filled with tears.
Jeremy wanted to avoid favonovel.com and keep moving, but favonovel.com was walking straight toward him.
Madeline turned around when favonovel.com heard noises, and when favonovel.com saw Jeremy’s tall, slender frame, favonovel.com eyes became stern. “What are you doing here? Do you want to destroy the evidence of you setting the fire?”
Jeremy was unperturbed. “If I were the one behind it, then I wouldn’t be here.”
“Heh, sure. You have a woman to wipe your butt for you, so of course you can do whatever you want.” Madeline mocked. “This is my home. Even if it has turned into nothing, I won’t allow a cold-blooded murderer like you to step foot inside. Get out.”
Jeremy’s eyes became sharp, and there was a flash of dominance in his eyes. He walked over to Madeline. “I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me. Not even you.”
He reached out his hand to pull Madeline to him. “I told you, a strong woman will only trigger a man’s dominance. Eveline, it looks like you’ve already elicited my interest toward you.”
He pretended to kiss her, but Madeline fought back with all favonovel.com might. “Don’t touch me, you b*stard!”
However, Jeremy did not let go. While they were fighting, favonovel.com ripped apart Madeline’s shirt.
Her delicate collarbone and round shoulders entered his vision. However, favonovel.com did not notice those things. When favonovel.com saw the faded shell pendant around Madeline’s neck and above favonovel.com heaving chest, favonovel.com felt as if his spirit had left his body.
