Chapter 1218

He slid his finger across the screen, and before he said anything, he heard Madeline saying in a domineering and overbearing voice, “Ryan, I want to see you.”

“Now?” Ryan looked at the time and saw that it was two in the morning.

“Yes, now. I want to see you.” Madeline’s tone was firm.

Ryan was curious, so he agreed. “Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”

“No, I’ll go to you.”

Ryan felt that this was getting more and more interesting. He said profoundly, “Come to our room, then.

I’ll wait for you.”

Their room?

Madeline clenched her fists and felt waves of resentment along with repulsion crashing within her.

However, she absolutely needed to do this tonight.

After she hung up, Ryan looked at Madeline’s name on his phone’s display screen and had some guesses in his heart.

He knew that because of Jeremy, Madeline was also wanted by the police. Her crime was helping a murderer to abscond.

However, at this moment, Madeline was here for him.

After more than ten minutes, Ryan went back to his home from the airport. His wedding photo with Madeline was still hanging on the wall of the living room.

He looked at the wedding photo with interest when he heard footsteps behind him.

Ryan turned around, and when he saw Madeline, there was a hint of surprise in his gray eyes.

Madeline did not have the time nor the conditions to change, so she was still wearing what she wore this morning.

“You look so sexy and attractive like this,” Ryan praised sincerely. He still held fondness toward Madeline in his eyes.

However, Madeline only carried disdain for the man. She looked straight at him. “Ryan, I want to save my husband.”

“Hmm?” Ryan furrowed his brows with a smirk. “So this is why you came to me in the middle of the night?”

“Yeah,” Madeline admitted to it. “Adam must have something that can get rid of Jeremy’s poison once and for all. I want that.”

Ryan walked in front of Madeline. His tall frame was like a huge mountain as it looked over Madeline’s slender body.

“Eveline, are you begging me? Jeremy is a murderer. When he’s captured, he’ll die. Even if Adam has the anti-toxoid reagent, he still has to die.”

Madeline clenched her fists and looked at the unperturbed man in front of her. At this moment, she felt flames of hatred burning in her chest.

This person in front of her was the true murderer, but she could not say it out loud.

“My husband wouldn’t kill anyone.” Madeline could only give such an answer.

Ryan looked at Madeline’s unsatisfied gaze and smiled softly. “The police need evidence to carry out their duties. Now, they have eyewitnesses and evidence, so Jeremy can’t get away from this.”

He stopped for a bit. Then, his eyes landed on Madeline’s small face.

“Also, Jeremy even kidnapped Lana and Naomi back then so that he could burn them alive. He has a strong motive.”

When Ryan said that, it was as if he was cementing the motive of Jeremy killing Lana.

Madeline could not argue with that despite knowing the fact that Ryan was the true killer.

“I don’t care.” Madeline denied stubbornly. Her beautiful eyes met with Ryan’s deep ones. “Ryan, I want you to save Jeremy and I want you to exonerate him from his crimes.”

Ryan thought he was hearing things when Madeline told him her requests.

He killed Lana to get rid of Jeremy in the fastest and most direct way possible, so how would he save Jeremy?

Ryan felt that Madeline was indulging in a fantasy right now.

He laughed and looked at Madeline firmly. “Eveline, what gave you this naive thought? Why do you think I’ll save Jeremy?”

“Because you like me and because you have a strong urge to win.”
