Chapter 1256
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After hearing Madelineâs explanation, Ryan could not help but chuckle.
âEveline, I underestimated you.â
He seemed to be admitting defeat, but there seemed to be a hint of joy in his smile.
âI was right. Youâre indeed a woman worthy of me submitting to you cheerfully.â
âIâm not as good as you think. Ryan, you lost because youâre too arrogant.â
Madeline gave him a merciless blow and told Ryan the subtle details.
âActually, I knew that there was a camera in your study. I knew you mustâve seen me entering your study and saw that I tried to open your safe. So, I deliberately told you that I wanted to steal the reagents.â
Upon hearing this, Ryanâs face changed slightly.
Back when it happened, he thought that Madeline was being sincere to him, but he did not expect that she just did that to win his trust!
âRyan, I can also tell you that thereâs no tenant opposite Glendale Hotel who happened to capture the scene of you killing Lana on the security camera.â
ââ¦â
Madelineâs announcement shocked Ryan thoroughly.
He suddenly turned the steering wheel at an intersection. After the car drifted for a bit, he stopped at an open field.
âWhat did you say? That video is fake?â Ryan asked while he stared at Madeline with red eyes.
Madeline fearlessly confronted his falcon-like sharp eyes. Then, she parted her lips and said, âRemember what you said when you wanted to kill that police officer? You retold the process of you killing Lana, so Jeremy and I just acted out the scene according to what you said.â
ââ¦â
Ryan felt cold all over suddenly.
âHeh.â He chuckled, his smile full of sarcasm.
He thought that Jeremy was deep in the trap he designed, but he did not know that he was just the clown in Jeremyâs plan all along!
âRyan, although this video evidence was forged, you committed the crime and thatâs a fact. Since you did it, you have a guilty conscience. So when you saw the video, you were sure that the man was you and the woman was Lana.â
After listening to Madelineâs words, Ryanâs self-deprecating smile grew wider while his gray eyes became redder and scarier.
He grabbed Madelineâs face tightly and said weakly, âWhat else have you done?â
âAre you afraid? Are you afraid that Iâll do something unfavorable to you?â Madeline asked calmly.
Ryan pursed his thin lips. âIâve never been afraid of anyone.â
He was still so confident. Then, when he heard the sound of cars catching up, he stepped on the accelerator again.
âRyan, donât make the same mistakes again and again.â Madeline persuaded.
Ryan turned a deaf ear and continued to drive forward. Eventually, he stopped the car on an abandoned dock.
When Ryan got out of the car, Madeline quickly opened the door.
She wanted to escape from Ryan, but since Ryan was a senior agent, his physical ability was considered to be exceptional.
Madeline could not get past him. Ryan grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him.
Madeline felt a little uneasy while looking at his wicked face up-close.
âRyan, what else do you want to do?â
Ryan curled his thin lips into a superficial smile. He looked at Jeremy who had stopped his car and was now running toward them. He suddenly smirked and said, âJeremy, if I canât get this woman, then neither can you!â
âRyan!â
