Chapter 1474

He asked the person on the other end of the phone lazily.

Madeline subconsciously looked at the man with the corner of her eyes. Then, she heard Jeremy exclaiming in puzzlement. “Ryan is dead?”

After Jeremy said that, Madeline noticed the woman who was impersonating her lifting her head suddenly. Plus, her expression and the look in her eyes had changed as well.

She looked as if she was in shock. However, Madeline noticed another subtle expression.

After Jeremy hung up the phone, Madeline saw the imposter recomposing her expression before walking over to ask.

“Jeremy, what did you say? Ryan is dead? He’s in jail, so how’d he die all of a sudden?” she asked, her eyes filled with intense desire for information.

Jeremy looked at the imposter and said flatly, “I don’t know the details but I know the Jones family is having a funeral. It’s confirmed that Ryan is dead.”

After he said that, Jeremy saw that the woman was taken aback. She looked as if she was in a daze.

“Linnie, is it difficult for you to accept this?” he asked softly.

The imposter came back to her senses and shook her head. “Why would I be sad? He did all those things to me and tried to separate us, so why would I be sad for him? Of course not, no…”

The woman said, and toward the end, she sounded like she was mumbling to herself.

Madeline noticed something was amiss but at the same time, her phone rang.

This was the phone Carter gave her before she left. At this point in time, he was the only person who could call her.

After Madeline answered the call, she chatted briefly before hanging up.

She glanced at the imposter before walking near Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman, I have to pack some of my clothes and daily necessities. I’ll come back later.”

“I’m going out as well. Let me drive you.”

“No need.”

“You don’t have to be so courteous. Let’s go.”

“…”

He did not give Madeline a chance to reject him at all. Jeremy went straight to the garage and drove the car in front of Madeline, who was about to leave.

He even got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline in a gentlemanly manner.

“Thank you.” After Madeline thanked him, she got into the passenger seat.

Then, she remembered how Jeremy would never allow other women to sit in his passenger seat, but on this day, not only did he voluntarily ask her to get in, but he even opened the door for her in a friendly manner.

‘Jeremy, you’re feeling something for me, right?’

Madeline pondered, and she could feel the wound in her heart starting to heal slowly.

“Where do you live, Miss Quinn?” Jeremy asked.

“You can drop me off in front of the subway station ahead, Mr. Whitman. It’s convenient for me to go home on the subway.”

“Since you’re in my car, of course, I’ll be sending you to your door safely.”

“…”

Madeline had nothing to say to him. Why did she not know that Jeremy was such a kind-hearted person back then?

However, how could she tell him where she was living now? She had no choice, so Madeline could only tell him the name of a random apartment.

Jeremy nodded and asked, “Are you living alone, Miss Quinn?”

In order to stop Jeremy from feeling suspicious, Madeline made up a lie. “I’m staying with my boyfriend.”

However, after she said that, a child suddenly ran out to the road in front of them. Jeremy slammed his foot down on the brake but because of inertia, Madeline’s body plunged forward as she subconsciously used her hands to hold the dashboard in front of her.

Luckily, the child was not hurt and Madeline let out a sigh of relief.

However, when she was about to let go, Jeremy grabbed her left hand all of a sudden.

Madeline looked over in confusion. Then, she saw Jeremy looking at the wedding ring on her left ring finger with a piercing stare.
