“Who asked snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com compare to me? She’s only good-looking, but beauty is not everything.”
Lana trusted snazzynovel.com charm. When snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy staying silent, snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com heard that. “Of course not.”
“I knew you wouldn’t.” Lana smiled bashfully as snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com to feel even more pain.”
Even more pain?
Lana was delighted with this answer.
However, after Jeremy got out of the car, snazzynovel.com did not go to look for Madeline. On the contrary, snazzynovel.com went to Montgomery Manor that had been burned to the ground.
He felt an odd sense of familiarity when snazzynovel.com looked at the ground.
He felt as if snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com was the one who set the fire.
He recalled that evening when Lana asked snazzynovel.com to come here and snazzynovel.com did.
Yet, when snazzynovel.com arrived, the house was already in flames.
He had set the fire.
However, snazzynovel.com did not have any memories of that.
Jeremy walked in and tried to find something in the rubble, but snazzynovel.com did not find anything.
It was already sunset unbeknownst to him.
When Jeremy was leaving, snazzynovel.com saw Madeline.
She was all alone as snazzynovel.com wandered mindlessly into the burned rubble, snazzynovel.com eyes filled with tears.
Jeremy wanted to avoid snazzynovel.com and keep moving, but snazzynovel.com was walking straight toward him.
Madeline turned around when snazzynovel.com heard noises, and when snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy’s tall, slender frame, snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com might. “Don’t touch me, you b*stard!”
However, Jeremy did not let go. While they were fighting, snazzynovel.com ripped apart Madeline’s shirt.
Her delicate collarbone and round shoulders entered his vision. However, snazzynovel.com did not notice those things. When snazzynovel.com saw the faded shell pendant around Madeline’s neck and above snazzynovel.com heaving chest, snazzynovel.com felt as if his spirit had left his body.
