Chapter 1219

Ryan was shocked by Madeline’s answer and the brash confidence in her eyes.

At the moment, he felt as if he had been overwhelmed by frustration.

Jeremy furrowed his sword-shaped brows and looked at Madeline who was calm and collected.

He had never seen such boldness in a woman before.

On the other hand, this was the exact boldness that attracted him to Madeline even though she was a divorcee who already had children of her own.

Feelings were strange. One could not make sense of them, but at the same time, one would be controlled by them.

However, Ryan’s biggest goal right now was to get rid of Jeremy.

Would he give up on such a great opportunity for a woman?

No.

Ryan smirked without a trace.

He could kill two birds with one stone, and he would be able to execute it perfectly too.

Jeremy needed to die, but he wanted Eveline too.

“Ryan, what do you think? Are you saving my husband?” Madeline broke the silence and asked.

Ryan lifted the corners of his lips. There was admiration in his eyes.

“Eveline, will you do anything for Jeremy?”

“Yes. As long as he’s safe,” Madeline answered without hesitation.

Ryan looked at the fearless Madeline while feeling impressed. Then, he smirked nefariously.

“If that’s the case, don’t you think you should do something now to prove your determination?”

Madeline knew what Ryan was trying to say. She looked at him and stood tall. There was no trace of fear or cowering in her eyes.

She threw her bag on the floor, then pushed the straps of her top down from her shoulders.

When she was about to undress, Ryan ran to her and grabbed her wrist.

“Eveline, there will be a day when I’ll make you become my woman willingly.” His eyes were filled with confidence. “Adam already has the anti-toxoid test reagent to completely clear the poison in Jeremy’s body. However, the ingredients for it are extremely precious, so I’ll consider whether to give it to you or not based on your performance next.”

Madeline’s eyes lit up.

Indeed!

Adam already had the most crucial anti-toxoid test reagent!

Madeline’s shattered heart started to heal slowly.

‘Jeremy, there’s still hope for you!

‘I won’t let you leave me just like this!’

Madeline’s heart was blossoming. However, her stunning face was still calm and frigid.

“Ryan, aside from the anti-toxoid test reagent, I also want you to find the person who murdered Lana,”

she pleaded, but she did not sound like she was negotiating.

Ryan was taken aback. There was an ominous glint in his gray eyes.

She wanted him to find the person who murdered Lana?

However, the murderer was him, Ryan Jones.

How could he capture himself?

Of course, he would not admit that. As such, he smiled and agreed. “As long as you make me happy later, I’ll make you happy as well.”

Madeline clenched her fists and let out a sigh of relief.

She was making a bet just now, and she won.

She knew Ryan’s conceited mentality. He would not want to have her like this.

As such, she was pretty sure that nothing happened between her and Ryan when they were in the hotel that day.

What he wanted was her willingness.

However, she would only give her heart to only one man in this life. Aside from Jeremy, there would be no one else.

…

Jeremy woke up slowly from his dream. He had a good night’s sleep and a wonderful dream.

He dreamt about Madeline and the children. In that dream, they were reunited as a family.
