Chapter 1357

Jeremy noticed something amiss, so he restrained himself and looked back only to see Madeline standing not far behind him with a look of doubt.

It was unknown when she followed him here. Plus, there was a possibility that she had heard all the questions asked by these journalists. That would explain why Madeline’s expression looked a little off.

“Linnie.”

Jeremy turned and walked toward her, but at this moment, the group of journalists behind him turned the cameras to Madeline and started asking questions.

“Miss Eveline, was Ryan with you when he was shot last night?”

“Mrs. Whitman, what is the relationship between you and Ryan?”

“The reason why Mr. Whitman shot Ryan was that he was jealous of you being with Ryan, right?”

Jeremy was furious when the journalists asked such stupid questions.

He turned around swiftly and looked at them with his eyes as sharp as ice knives. “You’re willfully speculating and putting false crimes on people under the guise of pursuing the truth. Just wait to receive a lawyer’s letter from me.”

As soon as Jeremy said this, coupled with his impeccably fierce aura, the group of people in front of him was all startled.

“The job of a journalist is to find the truth, not fabricating the facts!”

“…”

Jeremy’s eyes were full of coldness, and no journalists dared to speak anymore for fear that they would offend Jeremy again.

“Get lost now. Don’t show up in my sight again.”

He dropped these last words and turned around to take Madeline into the house, but when he turned around, Madeline had already walked to his side.

Her elegant face was stained with deep confusion and incomprehension. “What did they just say?”

Madeline asked inexplicably, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. “What do they mean by a love triangle? Why did they say that I’m having an affair with Ryan?”

Jeremy quickly explained and comforted, “Linnie, don’t listen to their nonsense. You didn’t, and there isn’t anything between you and Ryan.”

However, Madeline was obviously a little bit triggered because of this. Her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she even began to speak incoherently, “Ryan… Ryan is dead. He died in front of me.

There was so much blood. There was also his blood on my face…

“B-But how could it be that you’re the one who killed Ryan? How could it be you? No, it can’t be like this…”

Madeline denied repeatedly in distress. Her complexion that had finally recovered a little became awful again.

Jeremy held Madeline’s shoulders with a broken heart and gently persuaded her, saying, “Linnie, don’t pay attention to what others are saying. Don’t think about it. Please calm down.”

Madeline shook her head and glanced at the journalists who were looking at her questioningly. She suddenly felt that her head was very heavy and her thoughts were all over the place, but the scene of Ryan collapsing to the ground last night was once again so clear in front of her.

The journalists watched Madeline’s dazed and empty eyes while whispering among each other.

“Does Eveline look a bit off to you?”

“I heard some gossip saying that she has gone crazy.”

“What? Crazy?”

“Half-crazy and half-dumb, it seems like. I heard that she can’t even take care of herself anymore.”

“Seriously? I wonder if it’s the retribution of playing with other people’s feelings.”

Jeremy’s hearing was very sharp and he looked back in anger.

“Shut your mouth!”

The reporters were so frightened that they did not dare breathe.

“Scram!”

Jeremy drove them away in a rage, and then he turned back to see that Madeline’s complexion was getting worse.
