Chapter 899

Jeremy did not want to be affected by this woman in any way, so he entered the banquet hall immediately without turning back.

After getting Madeline’s thermos cup from Eloise, Jeremy walked back the same way, though he did not expect Lana to still be waiting at the same place.

Jeremy ignored her existence and walked straight ahead.

Lana stared at the oncoming Jeremy with ambiguous and powerful eyes. As he walked by, she raised the small, transparent bag in her hand.

“Mr. Whitman, you should recognize what this is, right? Isn’t this the medicine your wife has been taking recently?”

Jeremy was not interested in knowing anything that had to do with Lana, but his sight was drawn to the items in the small, transparent bag.

The little pink pill was clearly the medicine Madeline had just consumed.

According to Adam, this was a drug newly developed by his team that was highly effective in suppressing tumors. It had clinical trial support and the ingredients were safe.

However, this medicine was precious. A single tablet cost five figures and its quantity was scarce. It had not been released to the market yet, so how did Lana get the medicine?

Looking at the doubts that had appeared in Jeremy’s eyes, Lana leisurely said, “Do you find it weird, Mr. Whitman? Are you wondering how I’ve come to possess the medicine your wife is taking? If you want to know the reason, I’ll be waiting for you at this hotel tomorrow night. I’ll be in the presidential suite.”

Lana handed the small packet of medicine to Jeremy.

“These few should be given to Mrs. Whitman, but don’t overdo it. Otherwise…” She deliberately stopped midway, smiling meaningfully.

Jeremy did not accept it, so Lana simply stuffed the bag into Jeremy’s hand before deliberately brushing her fingers on the back of Jeremy’s hand.

“Remember to unblock my number first. Be there.”

Lana left with a confident smile, but a strange fragrance still lingered on the tip of Jeremy’s nose.

He frowned and looked at the pink pill in his hand, feeling that something was not right.

Jeremy took out his phone to contact Adam when Madeline came over.

Seeing Lana walking away with her back to Jeremy, Madeline asked while feeling confused, “Did she come to you again to discuss a cooperation?”

Jeremy returned to his senses and smiled at Madeline softly. “Well, she still hasn’t given up.”

He put away the pills carefully and handed the thermos cup to Madeline. “Drink some water. If you’re unwell, let’s head back early to rest.”

Madeline drank the water. She started feeling much better and was no longer dizzy.

After returning to the banquet hall with Madeline, Jeremy said that he was going to the bathroom before leaving.

He immediately called Adam. After the call connected, he explained about the pill. Adam then said that anyone with money and connections could get this medicine, which was not surprising.

Adam’s response was as if it was nothing, but Jeremy did not think so.

Even if Lana had this medicine, how could she know that Madeline was taking it?

Jeremy looked at the list of his blocked numbers and unblocked them reluctantly.

As soon as he unblocked the numbers, Lana sent a message: [Looking forward to seeing you, (kiss)]

This woman was really presumptuous and debauched.

It seemed that there was no bottom line as long as she got what she wanted.

For such a person to dare say they were conducting proper business, Jeremy obviously did not believe it.

The next night after Jeremy had coaxed the two children to sleep, he saw Madeline sitting in the study.

She was sketching out designs seriously. He walked toward her slowly and said, “Linnie, a client just called and I need to head out to deal with it. Rest earlier.”

Madeline nodded. “Don’t come back too late.”

“Alright.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s cheek and left.
