Chapter 1259
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline fought hard to resist, but Ryan looked like he had been possessed by Satan. His red eyes that were soaked from the rain were looking straight into Madelineâs eyes horrifically.
He tore open the neckline of Madelineâs white chiffon shirt. Then, he was about to kiss her body while ignoring Madelineâs resistance.
Madeline felt that Ryan was really crazy, but she would never give in.
After a loud ripping sound, Madelineâs sleeves were also torn apart by Ryan.
She lifted her foot to kick Ryan away, but her strength was nothing compared to his.
Feeling the weight of Ryanâs body, Madeline knew that if she did not get him off her now, she might really be bullied by Ryan.
She quickly swept her gaze around when suddenly, she caught sight of the fruit knife on the coffee table. Madeline gritted her teeth and tried her best to move her body to the edge of the sofa.
However, Ryan seemed to see through her motives and did not give her a chance at all.
He grabbed Madelineâs face and firmly trapped her in his hands.
Madelineâs face was still drenched from the rain, but despite this, Ryan could not help but be moved from looking at this face.
Her delicate eyebrows and facial features were reflected in his pupils like a painting.
Although it had been almost ten years, to Ryan, Madeline still gave him the feeling of when he first saw her.
âListen, Eveline, I have nothing left. I canât lose you too.â He stared straight at her, his eyes showing strong possessiveness and aggressiveness.
Madeline furrowed her brows and resisted with her eyes. âRyan, Iâll forever look down on you if you try to get me with this kind of method.â
âSo what?â Ryan chuckled nonchalantly. âIt was you who said that Iâm too self-confident, so I became conceited. I have no confidence that I can make you fall in love with me willingly and be my woman. So now, I can only get you with this method. I wonât be completely defeated by doing this.â
After Ryan finished speaking, he bowed his head to kiss Madeline.
Madeline pressed her pink lips together tightly and turned her face away to avoid Ryanâs lips.
However, his lips still grazed the side of her face lightly, and this physical contact made Madeline feel uncomfortable.
She suddenly exerted all her strength and pushed Ryanâs shoulders away. Then, she slipped away from under his arm to quickly and decisively grab the fruit knife that was placed on the coffee table.
âRyan! If you dare to mess around again, Iâll take you down with me!â
Madeline pointed the tip of the knife to Ryan and pressed her left hand tightly on the torn fabric to cover her chest.
Her eyes looked righteous and firm. She did not look like she was frightening him.
When Ryan looked at the stubborn Madeline, the urge to conquer her became stronger and was reflected in his eyes.
âEveline, I donât want to hurt you. In any case, your existence in the past fulfilled my dream, but I will still say the same thing. I will not accommodate you without a limit like Jeremy, nor am I a gentleman, so donât provoke me.â
Madeline thought that he was being ridiculous. âRyan, who the hell is messing with who? I just want to live a simple and peaceful life with the person I love. It is you whoâs provoking me and Jeremy time after time.â
She looked at Ryan who looked extremely reluctant. Then, her eyes gradually became contemptuous.
âRyan, do you think that no one will learn of your other identity after Yorick and Lanaâs deaths?â
Ryanâs eyes suddenly changed when he heard this, but Madeline was not afraid of him.
âRyan, I can tell you that the man named Thomas who originally had a deal with you today would have been taken down by the Interpol by now. Plus, I have all the transaction information and accounts on your computer. â
âWhat are you talking about?â Ryanâs pupils shrank, and he felt as if he was being fooled by Madeline.
He strode toward Madeline and stretched out his hand to grab her.
Madeline raised the fruit knife in her hand and sliced Ryanâs arm with it.
Ryan frowned in pain. A long and thin cut was made on his right forearm. Immediately, blood started pouring from the cut.
Madeline would never hurt anyone out of her own volition, but this time, she had to take action in order to defend herself.
Drops of blood fell on the floor, staining the snow-white carpet.
Adam rushed over after hearing the commotion. Then, when he saw the cut on Ryanâs arm, he immediately treated the wound for him.
