Chapter 982

He had heard about Madeline’s vision loss and wanted to check up on her, but he did not have a valid reason to.

When Ryan was about to go backstage to look for Madeline, Lana and Naomi appeared.

Lana had spent money to buy an invitation for the event. She smirked cockily as she strutted into the hall.

Everyone was looking over at her, but their focus was not on her. Instead, their eyes were on Jeremy who was behind her.

“It’s really Mr. Whitman.”

“No way! Three months ago, didn’t he… What’s going on?”

“Yeah, how strange. I even went to offer my condolences at Whitman Manor. They confirmed that he was indeed dead.”

“I went as well. When I was there, Karen even screamed at Eveline saying she was a bringer of bad luck. She also said that Eveline was the one who killed her son.”

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was puzzled when they noticed Jeremy arriving with Lana.

However, they did not know Lana. They only felt that this woman was not someone ordinary.

When Ryan saw Lana, his eyes darkened.

He could guess that Lana was here to cause trouble for Madeline.

When Naomi spotted Ryan in the crowd, she was agitated.

She walked over to him. “Rye, you’re here. You came to see Eveline, right?”

Ryan looked at Naomi with a dull gaze. “I’ve broken up with you, so it’s none of your business what I do.”

Naomi’s face fell when she heard that. She could not get over the anger in her heart.

“Ryan, what kind of attitude was that? Naomi is your ex-girlfriend but you’re treating her this way because of Eveline? Hmph, is this how you should behave, Young Master Jones?” Lana slowly walked over and deliberately increased the volume of her voice to make sure the people around them heard her. This way, they would think that there was something amorous between Ryan and Eveline.

Yet, Ryan was calm. He looked at Lana profoundly and said in an equally profound voice, “Lana, this isn’t F Country. Please watch yourself.”

Lana was taken aback when she heard this. She looked at Naomi with dissatisfaction and thought that Naomi told Ryan about her background.

When she was about to talk back to Ryan, she saw Madeline.

Before Lana could take a closer look, a crowd started gathering around Madeline to congratulate her.

“Lana, look at her. She’s really blind! Her mother-in-law is guiding her! But those guests haven’t noticed that she’s blind,” Naomi said in schadenfreude next to Lana’s ear.

“Hmph, if she wants to be in the center of attention even when she’s blind, I’ll make sure she’s the center of attention!” After Lana said that, she smirked at Jeremy. “Hans, remember to be more savage later. I’ll be waiting to watch your performance.”

Jeremy looked at Lana coldly and said, “Just you wait. I’ll use the most savage way to teach her how to behave.”

Lana was satisfied when she heard that. She had no idea what was the meaning behind Jeremy’s words. After that, she walked through the crowd and toward Madeline who was chatting with someone.

When Karen saw Lana in the hall, she got close to Madeline’s ear and said something.

Madeline smiled slightly and looked ahead calmly.

Lana walked in front of Madeline with a huge grin on her face. However, her eyes were filled with malice. She was thrilled when she saw Madeline’s eyes staring at one side, out of focus. “Mrs.

Whitman, today is the 52nd anniversary of Whitman Corporation. Since we know each other, I’m here to give you a gift.”

She said while eyeing Naomi. Then, Naomi took out a box and handed it to Lana. After Lana got it, she handed it to Madeline.

“Mrs. Whitman, take it.” Lana reached out her hand. When she saw Madeline lifting her hand to take it, she smirked and let go.
