Chapter 1244

The police officer who had not died started making noises all of a sudden.

He raised his trembling hands and pointed at Ryan. He said angrily, “It turns out that you’re the real murderer who killed Lana! M-Mr. Whitman was framed by you…”

Ryan did not expect that the police officer was not dead yet, but he was not bothered at all.

Instead, he smiled wider. “Yes, it’s me. I killed that woman named Lana, then blamed Jeremy Whitman for it. So what? Did any of you find out the truth?”

“You…” The police officer widened his eyes angrily and pointed at Ryan’s nonchalant face. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to take out his mobile phone to inform his colleagues.

When Ryan saw this, he pointed the gun at the police officer’s heart without hesitation and pulled the trigger…

Bang! Madeline suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot while looking for Ryan’s location. She stopped abruptly in her tracks as her heart started to beat erratically.

“Jeremy, Jeremy…” she started calling out Jeremy’s name unconsciously.

Then, she ran in the direction of the gunshot.

Madeline saw a figure lying on the grass through the rain. Immediately, her mind went blank and it was as if she went into a trance.

“Jeremy!”

Madeline rushed over, but after seeing clearly that the man who had fallen on the ground with blood pouring out from his heart was another person, she was stunned.

‘Isn’t this the police officer who concluded that Jeremy is the one who murdered Lana on the rooftop that day?

‘Is he dead?’

At this moment, Madeline heard Ryan’s cold voice coming from the other side.

“Jeremy, there’s no turning back for you now. The Whitmans have occupied the number one spot on Glendale’s list of wealthy families for so many years and it seems that this history will end with you. The young master of Glendale’s number one wealthy family will soon be replaced!”

Bang!

Madeline heard another gunshot after Ryan said that.

She stood up after supporting herself and ran to the source of the sound.

She saw Ryan pointing the gun forward and in front of Ryan was Jeremy.

Although the moonlight was weak and it was still drizzling, Madeline could clearly see the blood on Jeremy’s left arm.

His clothes were wrapped around his thin body after being soaked by the rain. His overly pale skin made him look sickly and haggardly.

Jeremy looked over, and when their gazes met, Madeline felt as if there was an invisible hand clenching her heart tight.

Seeing that Ryan was about to fire again, Madeline did not have time to say anything to Jeremy. She ran in front of Ryan and grabbed his hand that was holding the gun. Then, she pressed the muzzle of the gun to her heart.

“Linnie!” Jeremy’s heart leaped to his throat and hurried over.

Madeline met Ryan’s eyes fearlessly. “If you want to fire, then do it!”

Ryan was surprised when Madeline suddenly appeared. “Why are you here?”

“I followed you,” Madeline answered frankly, “Ryan, if you have to kill Jeremy, I’ll die with him!”

Ryan frowned as his fingers on the trigger froze.

At this moment, the sound of police sirens and an ambulance sounded from not far away.

“If you don’t want him to die, you should leave right now,” Ryan ordered Madeline.

Madeline was reluctant to leave Jeremy to face Ryan alone, but she did not expect Jeremy to tell her to go as well. “Linnie, I don’t want to involve you in the war between us men anymore. You have to leave immediately.”

Madeline shook her head. “I’m not leaving.”

“You have to go.” Jeremy raised his eyebrows, his eyes looking extremely cold. “You’ll only be a burden for me if you stay here. I don’t want to keep getting defeated by this man because of you, do you understand?”
