Chapter 1199
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Ryan asked directly in an extremely cold tone. He was obviously dissatisfied with what happened last night.
âDonât ask nonsense,â Madeline replied impatiently.
âif thatâs the case, why did you act stupidly?â Ryan asked in a cold voice, his dissatisfaction apparent.
âYou only needed to be Mrs. Jones last night. Didnât you understand?â
âI didnât violate the agreement between me and you. I didnât know that Jeremy would come,â Madeline emphasized, âRyan, Iâve tried my best to do everything you asked for, but Iâm just an ordinary person.
Some variables are beyond my control.â
After Madeline said that, Ryan no longer said anything. He frowned slightly and seemed to be pondering something.
âRyan, what are you trying to do? Whatâs your relationship with Adam?â Madeline broke the silence and asked.
Ryan looked up, his space gray pupils surging with obscure colors.
âYou should stop asking because youâll never get the answer,â Ryan replied faintly before picking up a box next to him. He opened it in front of Madeline.
When Ryan showed the contents of the box to Madeline, she was surprised as her heart started to race.
The box was full of anti-toxoid test reagents!
When he saw Madelineâs eyes lighting up a little, Ryan grinned. âThis is a monthâs worth of dosage.â
One monthâs worth of dosage!
Madeline was extremely eager to get her hands on it.
However, she also knew that it would not be so easy for her to get it. âWhat are the conditions this time?â
Madeline went straight to the point, and Ryan seemed to appreciate her for it.
He did not talk in circles either. He said, âThereâll be a more popular bidding project in the near future.
Once this project is obtained, itâll generate considerable profits. I must get it. Do you know what I mean?â
âYou want me to persuade Jeremy to give up bidding for it?â
Ryan nodded and continued, âHe may not be interested in this project, but heâll definitely bid against me for the sake of it.â
ââ¦â Madeline could not deny that Jeremy was really hostile toward Ryan.
Even so, Madeline did not think that Ryanâs conditions would be that simple.
It was not just one dose of anti-toxoid test reagent but a monthâs worth of it.

Jeremy had been sitting in the taxi on the side of the road. About ten minutes later, Madeline and Ryan came out one after another before leaving separately.
After watching Madelineâs car drive away, Jeremy told the driver to follow Ryanâs car.
After tailing behind him for a while, Ryan took a turn. When the cab he was in took the same turn, Jeremy saw Ryanâs car parked on the side of the road. As he passed by him, Ryan was standing by the car with one hand in his pocket, watching the cab that Jeremy was in with interest.
When Jeremy decided to tail him, he knew that his actions could very well be found out by the other man.
Ryan was a senior Interpol agent. If he could not tell that someone was following him, he would not be a senior executive commander.
Jeremy got out of the car as the summer breeze blew past. He walked up to Ryan calmly.
âDonât meet my wife again,â Jeremy warned in a calm tone that sounded like the breeze on a sunny day, but his eyes were dark and heavy, pressing down like a storm.
Ryan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. âYour wife was the one who came to see me. She was also the one who wanted to come as my plus one last night.â
âDo you think Iâll believe what you say?â Jeremyâs thoughts were very clear. âRyan, youâd better conduct yourself properly. Donât think I donât know what youâre doing. I should tell you this. I met with Yorick on the day before his execution.â
ââ¦â Ryanâs eyes suddenly sank.
Jeremy looked sternly at him with his cold eyes. âDonât let me see you near my wife again. Otherwise, everything may fall apart for you soon.â
