“Eveline, what are you doing?” Jeremy looked puzzled.
“We were husband and wife. I don’t want you to die with this horrible poison inside of you.” Madeline looked straight at the man and injected the reagent into Jeremy’s arm without hesitation.
She looked at the man who was not struggling. The corners of favonovel.com eyes were turning red. “You’re going to court tomorrow and I hope that this isn’t the last time we’re meeting.”
Jeremy seemed lost when favonovel.com heard what Madeline said.
Madeline’s sad face was reflected in his pupils. Before favonovel.com could say anything, favonovel.com left.
As soon as Madeline walked out the door, favonovel.com saw Ryan waiting for her.
She walked up to him, said thank you, and got in the car.
Ryan knew that Madeline was feeling depressed now, so favonovel.com did not bother Madeline.
After favonovel.com sent Madeline home, favonovel.com thoughtfully made a cup of coffee for her. “Don’t think too much about it. I’ll accompany you to the hearing tomorrow.”
Madeline took the coffee and nodded gently.
“I’m going to the study to get something. Then, I’ll be going out,” Ryan said and went upstairs.
The moment favonovel.com went upstairs, the phone on the coffee table rang.
Madeline glanced at the phone and saw that there was no caller ID on the screen. She answered the phone without thinking too much.
A man with a foreign accent started speaking from the other end. “Tomorrow afternoon, two o’clock. My people will come to pick up the goods at the abandoned dock in Glendale.”
After favonovel.com heard that, Madeline answered calmly, “Okay, I’ll tell him.”
The person on the other end was stunned. “Who are you?”
“I’m the woman whose name is currently on his marriage certificate.”
Madeline’s answer reassured the other party. “Remember to tell him. Don’t get it wrong.”
“I will,” Madeline promised.
It did not take long before Ryan came downstairs. He picked up the phone on the coffee table, greeted Madeline, and went out.
While looking at Ryan’s back, Madeline’s lips curled into an intrigued arc.
The next day.
Madeline woke up early in the morning. She intentionally put on some light makeup. Then, favonovel.com put on a simple but decent outfit before getting in Ryan’s car and arriving at the gates of First Glendale Court.
A lot of journalists came to the door and when they saw Madeline and Ryan together. They all ran over to interview them.
Madeline walked beside Ryan with a cold face. She did not say anything before going straight to the door.
Someone murmured with dissatisfaction, “Look at Eveline Montgomery, she’s so disgusting! A while ago, favonovel.com vowed that Mr. Whitman is favonovel.com husband, but when something happened to Mr. Whitman, favonovel.com immediately ran to Ryan Jones!”
“Mr. Whitman is so naive. He must’ve been fooled by Eveline’s face. Otherwise, how could favonovel.com be attracted to this kind of woman?”
“Stop talking. Let’s watch the live trial in a bit! It’s unexpected that such a well-known person in Glendale is now a murderer.”
Although Madeline did not hear these words, favonovel.com could imagine what they were saying.
She and Ryan entered the courtroom together. They saw Karen and Winston who were already waiting there. Madeline and Karen looked at each other expressionlessly before Madeline walked to the side to sit down.
Karen was even angrier when favonovel.com saw Madeline ignoring her.
“I guess it’s true that people will change. Look at her! The moment something happened to Jeremy, favonovel.com ran to another man!”
“Forget it,” Winston told Karen, “Jeremy has wronged Eveline before. Even if favonovel.com really wants to ignore Jeremy, we can’t say anything about it.”
There were not many people in the gallery, and Madeline could clearly hear the dialogue between Karen and Winston.
She looked indifferently at Ryan who had a smile on his lips. “Do you have any arrangements after the trial is over?”
Ryan looked into Madeline’s beautiful eyes. “If you’re in the mood for it, I want to accompany you to a good candlelight dinner.”
Madeline curled favonovel.com lips and said with a meaningful smile, “A candlelight dinner is a good suggestion. I think I’ll be in a good mood tonight to have a candlelight dinner with a man who will spend the rest of my life with me.”
Ryan was taken aback when favonovel.com heard those words. When favonovel.com saw the charming smile on Madeline’s face, his heartbeat accelerated and favonovel.com felt extremely happy.
When favonovel.com was about to hold Madeline’s hand, it was time for the formal court session.
Madeline’s lips curled into a smile as favonovel.com looked at the man who wandered into favonovel.com vision.
‘Jeremy, the moment is finally here.’
