Chapter 1370
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âJeremy, do you want to know where Ryanâs secret base in F Country is?â
Jeremy lifted his deep eyes. âDo you know where it is?â
Felipe nodded firmly. âI do.â
Jeremy was surprised. He briefed Madeline before going to Interpolâs branch in Glendale with Felipe.
Felipe provided the related address and information. Then, the people who were in charge quickly contacted the colleague over at F Country. Indeed, they instantly found the place where Ryan hid his illegal goods in F Country.
Felipeâs clue played an exceptionally important role in this case.
After they left the branch, Jeremy and Felipe walked on the streets. It was at the end of summer.
The two of them did not have the barrier and rivalry they had before. Now, they could have a peaceful and friendly exchange.
âHow did you know about Ryanâs business? Also, how did you know where he hid the goods used for trading?â Jeremy asked Felipe the questions he had in his heart.
After Felipe heard that, his thin and narrow eyes looked distracted. After a few seconds, he parted his lips.
âAfter Cathy died because of me, the only thing in my mind was revenge. However, I realized the hatred that I was obsessed with all these years was just a misunderstanding. In that instant, I felt as if my life had lost all meaning.
âAfter Cathy knew about my illegal business, she told me to stop. After she left, I stopped doing that completely. However, when I thought about how the Stygian Johnsons had disfigured her, I decided to find out everything about the Stygian Johnsons.â
He paused as he was saying that. Then, he looked at Jeremy who was listening to him quietly.
âThen, during the process of my investigation, I found out about Ryan Jones. This person looked like a gentle and elegant gentleman on the surface, but in reality, he was just exploiting his job at Interpol to help Yorick and the Stygian Johnsons to complete one illegal trade after another.
âHe rarely showed himself and Yorick was the only person who knew about Ryanâs true identity.
However, it would be impossible for one to come out clean after having one foot in the mud. As such, I followed the clues and found Ryanâs unknown secret base in F Country.
âRyanâs a vigilant person. He almost caught me once but he didnât know me so he could not find out who I was.â
Jeremy finally understood after hearing what Felipe said.
Ryan was a very intractable rival.
He was extremely schemeful and was always prepared for a rainy day. As such, that was why he could accurately calculate his next move.
However, the only thing he miscalculated was Madelineâs feelings toward Jeremy.
He thought he could at least make Madeline like him, but in the end, he realized the only thing in this world he could not force were feelings.
âRight, I saw something online as well. Someone said Uncle killed Old Master Jones more than ten years ago. Whatâs up with this?â
Jeremy frowned and then a smile unfolded on his face.
âItâs just a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding was man-made.â
âMan-made?â
Felipe was curious. However, he would not suspect the old master anymore.
After listening to Jeremyâs detailed explanation, Felipe was feeling angry for the old master.
âIt seems that Uncle will always be involved in this sort of scandal. I also misunderstood him back then.â Felipe sounded extremely apologetic when he was saying that. âHowever, since itâs a misunderstanding, itâll be solved sooner or later. Even so, Ryan might not be able to accept the truth.â
Jeremy agreed with Felipe. âNot only would he not accept it, but the Joneses wouldnât accept it either,â
he said while looking at Felipe who looked relieved.
Then, he asked the question he had in his heart, âBack in Whitman Manor, you said after you finished your important task, youâll go somewhere you need to go. Could it beâ¦â
