Chapter 1222

Madeline’s heart was in debilitating pain. She wanted to tell him to go. “Jeremy… Mhm…”

Jeremy was worried that Madeline would expose their location, so he used his lips to stop her mouth.

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to kiss her now. She wanted to push him away, but he was using all of his might to trap her in his arms.

The huge raindrops fell onto their bodies, causing Madeline’s vision to get blurry. At this moment, she almost could not open her eyes.

She started to forget the fact that she was supposed to tell this man to leave. She could feel herself melting as Jeremy continued kissing her…

At the same time, Jeremy could feel Madeline submitting to him. As such, he detached himself from her and cupped her wet face.

“Linnie, come with me, okay?”

“Okay…” Madeline nodded. She could not find any reason to reject him anymore. She only felt extremely worried when she saw his complexion looking paler and paler.

Jeremy smirked in satisfaction and kissed Madeline again. After that, he held her hand and led her to the door of the roof.

However, when they got to the door, the door opened with a creak.

Ryan was holding an umbrella as he slowly walked over in his leather shoes.

Even though the lights were dim, the sinister smirk on Ryan’s face could still be seen clearly.

“You came, after all.”

He looked at Jeremy like he had expected his arrival.

“You’re still reluctant to let her go. She’s such a talented and beautiful wife. If I were you, I would be reluctant too.”

Jeremy walked forward and pulled Madeline behind him. His eyes looked stern as he said, “Ryan, you’ll fight me openly if you’re a man. Eveline is my wife. No one is allowed to touch her except for me.”

Ryan scoffed when he heard that. “Your wife is the one who came to me.”

“You know clearly why my wife went to you. If it’s not because you’re in cahoots with Adam, why would my Linnie go to you?” Jeremy exposed Ryan’s heinous methods.

Ryan was not angry. On the contrary, his smirk grew even wider. “Right, you’re right, Jeremy. This is how I’m restricting and controlling your woman. I can see that she’s deeply in love with you. She even undressed in front of me in order to let you live longer.”

“…” Madeline did not expect Ryan to mention what happened last night.

At that moment, she could feel an ominous aura from Jeremy. Combined with the thunder and lightning, he looked even more malicious and frigid.

However, what shocked Madeline was that Jeremy was not furious. On the contrary, he held her hand tighter.

Madeline was cold from the rain, but at that moment, her heart was warm. She could feel Jeremy’s trust toward her.

At this moment, they could hear police sirens coming from a distance.

Madeline’s expression changed as she held Jeremy’s arm. Her heart felt as painful as if it had been burnt when she looked at his face that was getting paler and paler. “Jeremy, go now!”

Jeremy held her hand. “I won’t leave you here all alone.”

“I think you’re overthinking this, Jeremy. I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave tonight,” Ryan said, taking out a gun.

Madeline walked forward and blocked Jeremy from Ryan.

Jeremy wanted to push Madeline away, but she was rooted to the ground. She was standing firm while staring straight at Ryan.

“Ryan, if you dare to hurt Jeremy, then we’ll all die here tonight!” She bravely looked into the gun Ryan was holding. There was a domineering aura in her eyes. She looked as if she was ready to die.

Ryan was impressed with Madeline’s courage. However, he only chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t do any illegal business. I’m just helping the police capture a murderer.

“Jeremy, if you dare resist, then something interesting will happen next.”

Ryan said while pointing the gun at Jeremy. However, in this split second, Madeline rushed forward and snatched away Ryan’s gun when he was least expecting it. Then, she immediately turned the situation around by aiming the gun at Ryan.

In a blink of an eye, she turned from the person in the passive role to the one who was in control of the situation.
