He stopped in his tracks and turned sideways to answer the phone in annoyance. He said flatly, “I’ll be there in a sec.”
He hung up the phone and turned to face Madeline who looked cold and cheerless. “I have something to take care of now. Just go on with your business.”
Madeline ignored him. After favonovel.com heard Ryan driving away, favonovel.com immediately went to Ryan’s study.
Although the door was closed, Ryan had told favonovel.com the code of the door when they got married and Madeline still remembered it. Hence, favonovel.com easily opened the door and went in.
She did not hesitate before locating the safe.
She tried to open the safe with the code of the door but failed.
Madeline stood in a daze in front of the safe for a while when favonovel.com figured that Ryan must be keeping a lot of information about the Stygian Johnson Gang in his computer.
When favonovel.com was about to turn on the computer, favonovel.com suddenly thought of something and quickly left the study.
Ryan was looking at the surveillance footage in the study on his phone. After seeing Madeline leaving with a disappointed expression, favonovel.com curled his lips and smirked.
When favonovel.com came to the place where Jeremy was detained, favonovel.com saw Jeremy in prison clothes and poor spirits. Ryan walked over to favonovel.com with a cocky grin and smiled at the sickly man in front of him.
“There’s no doubt that you’ll get the death penalty.” Ryan was confident, and his eyes flowed with the joy of imminent victory.
Jeremy sat lazily against the wall. He was looking calmly at Ryan who was standing over the other side of the bars with his amber eyes that were hiding under his thick eyelashes.
“I want to see the higher-ups of Interpol,” Jeremy requested.
Ryan chuckled. “You can’t, Jeremy. Leave this world forever with the secret you know. I’ll help you take care of your woman and children.”
Jeremy clenched his fists when favonovel.com heard Ryan’s provocative words. His eyes were piercing through Ryan like sharp knives.
Ryan ignored Jeremy’s gloomy eyes and smiled before taking a step closer. “Jeremy, you lost because you put too much importance on your woman. But I have to admit it’s pretty difficult to not be moved when one sees Eveline. I think I’ve fallen in love with favonovel.com too.”
“Ryan!” Jeremy spat out that word through his teeth.
Ryan chuckled indifferently before raising a triumphant smile and striding away.
Jeremy clenched his fists as favonovel.com watched Ryan walking away. Then, favonovel.com slowly loosened his fists.
He looked at the colorful shell lying in his palm and put it to his lips before kissing it gently.
‘Linnie…’
Late at night.
Jeremy was about to fall asleep when someone came to see favonovel.com out of the blue.
The man that was impeccably attired looked at favonovel.com seriously. “Mr. Whitman, the higher-ups of Interpol have asked me to come and see you. They know about your current situation, so I’m here to discuss it with you.”
Jeremy looked at this man dubiously.
The iron door in front of favonovel.com opened and the visitor unfastened his handcuffs.
“Mr. Whitman, please come with me,” the person said respectfully.
Jeremy got in the car and left the place of detention.
A heavy thunderstorm broke out on that summer night. Then, the car stopped after driving for a while.
The suited man handed Jeremy an umbrella. “Mr. Whitman, please get out of the car.”
Jeremy took the umbrella before getting out of the car and looked around. There were areas to be developed beside him, and there was no one on the road where the street lights were flickering.
Jeremy turned around vigilantly. “Where’s the person who wants to see me?”
The suited man was sitting in the car with a sinister smile on his face. “Jeremy Whitman, look behind you.”
