He whispered Madeline’s name, stroked favonovel.com face in the photo, and could not help but cough out loudly.
He quickly took a painkiller, but favonovel.com still could not stop the bloody taste coming from deep in his throat.
Jeremy wiped the blood from his lips with a tissue and glanced at the bloodstain. It was a deep brown and did not look like normal fresh blood.
Besides that, there was a stabbing pain in his heart, and his fingers were trembling involuntarily.
Once the poison developed by Adam entered the final stage, not only would it torture the person’s body, but it would also test the person’s psychology harshly.
Jeremy spent the night in the bedroom at the office.
As soon as favonovel.com got up the next day, favonovel.com received a call from Lana.
After the woman was discharged from the hospital, favonovel.com emotions swelled up and favonovel.com high-spiritedly told Jeremy that favonovel.com wanted to follow along to close the deal.
The truth was that Jeremy initially wanted to think of a reason to get Lana to attend as well. The show would not be able to go on without her.
Lana went back to the villa first and picked out a dress that favonovel.com thought was the most beautiful dress favonovel.com owned.
Fabian had just called Madeline and was about to go over to see Lillian. As soon as favonovel.com left his room, favonovel.com saw Lana approaching energetically.
“Why are you dressed like a streetwalker? Where are you going?” Fabian said bluntly, which made Lana feel as if favonovel.com had just been splashed with a bucket of cold water.
Lana glared at Fabian. “Didn’t you guys complain about me holding back the Stygian Johnson Gang and causing the company to lose a hundred million dollars? Well, this is me going to earn that hundred million dollars back!”
Fabian doubted her. “Wow, Lana, are you really going to do it?”
“Why? Am I supposed to wait for you to do it?” Lana fired back and sneered at Fabian, “Actually, Fabian, the most useless sibling among the three of us is you. What have you done? All you do is eat out, have fun, and enjoy your life. What have you amounted to besides that? Have you ever made a deal for us? Do you even know how to close a deal? If it weren’t for me and Yorick, you would’ve starved to death!”
“Lana, how can you say that to Fab?” Yorick interrupted, dissatisfied. “Fab is still young. It’s for his own good that favonovel.com doesn’t get involved with the company for now. How can you say that as his big sis?”
“Well you’re my big brother, but what have you ever done for me?” Lana gritted favonovel.com teeth angrily, but then, favonovel.com smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, I’ll be making a deal with Jeremy later that will make us a profit of more than a hundred million bucks! Just wait and see!”
Lana walked to the door confidently and changed into the perfect high heels that matched favonovel.com dress. It seemed as if favonovel.com had completely forgotten that favonovel.com was pregnant. She got two bodyguards to carry a box, and together, they set off. Inside the box was illegal firearms.
After taking the painkiller, Jeremy arrived at Central Square at the appointed time.
As soon as favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com saw Lana happily running toward favonovel.com with favonovel.com high heels. It felt as if the bleeding yesterday was no big deal to her.
Lana looked at Jeremy who was in a business suit. Her eyes were filled with obsessiveness. “Jeremy, you look even more attractive today than yesterday. I can’t believe a man like you is so attracted to me. I really think that I love you even more now.”
Lana was full of praise, but favonovel.com tone then turned serious. “The client will arrive early. Let’s go to the private dining area to wait.”
Jeremy’s long fingers adjusted his cuffs and his tie clip that was adorned with sapphires. He grinned as favonovel.com looked at Lana. “It’s time for business.”
“Yeah.” Lana looked like a little woman as favonovel.com followed Jeremy into the designated private dining area.
After a while, the client who had made the appointment also arrived.
He was a fat middle-aged man who looked like favonovel.com never had to lift a finger in his life. He brought four bodyguards with him. The man seemed to be very interested in Lana. After checking the goods brought by Lana’s men without paying much attention, favonovel.com was ready to sign the contract.
Jeremy looked at favonovel.com calmly. When favonovel.com saw that both Lana and the man had signed the contracts, the corners of his lips lifted into a smile. He moved his hand to his ear and gently pressed the Bluetooth headset favonovel.com had on.
As soon as favonovel.com pressed it, one of the fat man’s bodyguards suddenly walked up to favonovel.com and pointed at Jeremy’s tie clip. “He has a miniature spycam on his body and may have taken pictures of the transaction just now!”
When Lana heard the bodyguard, favonovel.com looked at Jeremy who had a cold expression on his face. “What nonsense are you talking about? This is my boyfriend. He wouldn’t take pictures of something like this.”
Although the fat man liked Lana very much, favonovel.com was even more concerned about whether Jeremy really had a spycam on his body, so favonovel.com walked over and asked, “Take off your tie clip and let my people check if there really is a spycam. This is a huge business transaction. I don’t want to make a mistake either.”
“Mr. Howie, don’t you trust me? This is my boyfriend. He and I are on the same team. Why would favonovel.com betray himself by leaving dangerous traces for people to get us?” Lana defended Jeremy. When favonovel.com saw that they still looked suspicious, Lana walked to Jeremy. “Jeremy, can you take off the tie clip and show them how wrong they are?”
When favonovel.com said that, Jeremy stood up slowly. Lana curled favonovel.com lips up in satisfaction and waited for Jeremy to take off the tie clip. However, Jeremy only looked at favonovel.com coldly. “No, there’s no need to take the tie clip off. They’re right. There’s a mini spycam on it.”
“…” Lana was dumbfounded. “J-Jeremy? Why are you recording this?”
Jeremy raised his cold eyebrows as a delighted smile flashed across his eyes. “To capture the culprit in the act and serve as evidence in court, of course.”
“What?” Lana was stunned. Before favonovel.com had time to clarify what favonovel.com meant, the door of the private dining area suddenly opened.
