Chapter 1040

“Jeremy, what are you looking at? The light is green,” Lana informed. Just as she was about to look in the direction Jeremy was staring at, the car started.

Jeremy took a paper towel to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

Lana did not notice that Jeremy was coughing up blood, only supporting her cheek with one hand as she looked at Jeremy who was driving with a smitten look on her face.

“Jeremy, you’re really attractive. I used to play around with so many men, but you’re different. I really have the urge to live with you forever.”

Jeremy glanced sideways at Lana. “Do you really like me that much?”

“Of course.” Lana’s eyes were filled with infatuation, and she looked confident. “I’ll have you slowly fall in love with me and forget about that Eveline because I believe that love will last for a long time.”

Jeremy pulled the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully. “I believe it too.”

Lana was satisfied with this answer, but she still looked a little concernedly in the direction that Jeremy had just fixed his gaze on.

…

When Madeline was trying on her wedding dress, Ava received a call. Her expression changed slightly, and she said that she had to leave in a hurry.

Ryan bought two bouquets of flowers and brought Madeline to the cemetery to see Eloise and Sean.

“Mom and Dad, this is Ryan, my future husband.” Madeline looked at the tombstones and introduced him, “I’ll never choose the wrong one again this time. You’ll bless us, right?”

Ryan listened to Madeline’s words and looked at the tombstone again.

Seeing Madeline’s sad expression, he hesitated to speak. There were some words and some facts that should not be said at this time.

After paying homage to Sean and Eloise, Madeline was then preparing to go to the kindergarten to pick up the children from school.

As soon as she got into the car though, Madeline received a call from the kindergarten teacher.

The young female teacher was crying anxiously. “Mrs. Whitman, your daughter Lillian is gone.”

Madeline’s heart sank, then she heard Jackson’s voice. “Mommy, the teacher took us to a nearby park just now. Lillian said she was going to the bathroom, but then she didn’t come out for a long time. The teacher went in and found out that she’s gone.”

Knowing this was the case, Madeline and Ryan immediately rushed to the kindergarten.

Lana was lying leisurely on a sun lounger by the swimming pool when a bodyguard ran in proudly, putting down Lillian whom he had brought with him in front of Lana.

“Ms. Lana, I’ve captured Eveline’s daughter.”

Lana raised her eyes to look at Lillian. The child’s beautiful and fair face carried the same small and exquisite features as Madeline’s.

Knowing that Jeremy was not there at the moment, Lana grabbed Lillian’s collar and dragged the little girl toward her.

“Hey, why are you pulling me, Aunty?” Little Lilly asked with big innocent eyes.

“Aunty? You dare call me aunty?” Lana’s expression suddenly sank. “Eveline’s little bitch is as annoying as she is! I heard that you were quick to cry when you got separated from Eveline the last time. Now I wonder what will happen to her if this little thing dies?”

Lana’s eyes were dark.

“Eveline, do you still want to marry Ryan so happily? Hmph, this time, I’ll have you cry and beg me for mercy!” she said, pushing Lillian to the ground.

Lillian sank to the ground. Her big but clear and pure eyes were filled with doubts, yet she did not cry.

“Throw this little thing into the pool and drown her!” Lana ordered.

The bodyguard on the side obeyed her order and grabbed Lillian.

“Let go of me, bad uncle. Let me go.” Lillian struggled, biting on the man’s palm.

The man became irritated instantly and threw Lillian, who was only five years old, into the swimming pool!

Splash! There was a spray of water.

Lana looked at Lillian who was struggling in the water with satisfaction and lit a cigarette. “Eveline, with your parents dead and soon your daughter, I want to see if you still dare to go up against me!”
