“Are you alright? Are you alone right now?” Jeremy pestered, feeling worried.
Madeline quickly answered, “Yeah, I’m about to drive back home.”
Jeremy was relieved after obtaining snazzynovel.com answer. “Alright, then hurry back home. I’ll wait for you.”
Madeline hung up the call, but snazzynovel.com felt that something was off.
‘Did something just happen? Why is snazzynovel.com so worried about me?’
While snazzynovel.com was deep in snazzynovel.com thoughts, some news popped up on snazzynovel.com phone’s news feed. Before snazzynovel.com could even look at the news, Ava called her.
Ava’s tone was even more anxious compared to Jeremy’s. “Maddie, is this for real?! Jeremy killed Lana?!”
Madeline felt a wave of shock coursing through snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com stood absent-minded. A moment later, snazzynovel.com asked, “Ava, why are you asking such a thing?”
“Haven’t you seen the news on the net? It’s spreading like wildfire!” Ava said in an exaggerated manner, “I thought that Lana was imprisoned in F Country. I didn’t think she’d be released so soon. Yeah, she’s cruel and snazzynovel.com deserves to be dead, but with Jeremy killing snazzynovel.com off like that, he’ll be implicated in snazzynovel.com affairs. Then, what’s going to happen to you in the future? Why is snazzynovel.com acting without thinking ahead?”
Madeline’s mind went blank. She was lost regarding what Ava was trying to convey to snazzynovel.com through this phone call.
Madeline knew that Lana was indeed in Glendale. Besides, back when Madeline saw Lana, snazzynovel.com almost lost control and nearly attempted to choke that cruel lady to death.
‘Did Jeremy find out that Lana is in Glendale as well? Did snazzynovel.com lose control just like I did?’
Madeline held onto snazzynovel.com phone, not knowing what to do next. She wanted to call Jeremy, but the news just kept popping up.
She clicked into one of the news and saw the content that Ava had talked about earlier. It was stated that Lana was found dead in a presidential suite in a big hotel in Glendale. Her death had been a brutal one. Her body was found to have three gunshot wounds, and the shot at snazzynovel.com heart was the one that cost snazzynovel.com life.
Madeline even found a short video that was about three to four seconds long. In the scene, it showed a glimpse of Jeremy making an appearance at the presidential suite after the incident.
She was not mistaken. That was indeed Jeremy.
Even though the video was shaky, it was almost impossible to miss out on Jeremy’s easily identifiable face.
Madeline took in a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She could not bring herself to make a call to Jeremy. She was afraid that if snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com would lose all snazzynovel.com will to drive back home.
Jeremy was on his way to Whitman Manor, and snazzynovel.com was receiving calls from all sorts of media. He turned off his phone and continued his journey to Whitman Manor.
Once snazzynovel.com entered the house, Karen came up to snazzynovel.com while looking anxious. “Jeremy, what’s with the news on the net? Why are they accusing you of killing Lana? I thought that witch was already arrested? Why did snazzynovel.com appear in Glendale Hotel?”
Jeremy was about to answer Karen’s questions when Madeline’s voice was suddenly heard from behind.
“Jeremy would never kill Lana!”
Jeremy immediately spun around, his eyes glistening. “Linnie.”
“Jeremy!” Madeline ran to Jeremy.
Jeremy walked to snazzynovel.com at a fast pace as well. He held snazzynovel.com in his arms, asking, “Where have you been? I was worried about you.”
He brushed through snazzynovel.com long hair and kissed snazzynovel.com face. His worried emotions were displayed on his face.
Madeline felt sorry, but as of this moment, snazzynovel.com felt rather awkward to express snazzynovel.com apology.
“I’m fine, Jeremy. Don’t be worried.” Madeline freed herself and put on a worried look on snazzynovel.com face. “What’s up with Lana’s case? She was murdered out of the blue, but why is it related to you?”
Right after Madeline asked snazzynovel.com questions, the siren of the police car was suddenly heard from the doorway.
Madeline’s heart started pumping hard when snazzynovel.com thought that the police officers might be here to arrest Jeremy.
Seeing Madeline’s anxious look, Jeremy grasped snazzynovel.com hand. “Don’t worry about me, Linnie. I’ll be fine.”
“Everyone on the net is saying you’re the one who did it. How can I not be worried?” Madeline felt utterly anxious. “Lana kept harming you when snazzynovel.com was alive, and now that she’s dead, she’s still harming you!”
“Calm down, Linnie.” Jeremy comforted her. His pair of deep-set eyes oozed with confidence as snazzynovel.com stared at Madeline. “I knew long ago that someone might try to frame me. That’s why I had already left some evidence to prove my innocence before I entered the room where Lana was found dead.”
