Chapter 1555

“Jeremy Whitman.”

Madeline pretended to be angry and interrupted him. Her eyes that looked like the stars were staring fixedly at him.

“In this life, you only have feelings for me, and it’s the same for me as well.”

The melancholy between Jeremy’s eyebrows disappeared for a while. “I only pretended to be jealous just to hear you say this, Linnie.”

“Uh-huh, were you?” Madeline raised her eyebrows. “If that’s the case, I want to tell you one more thing.”

“What’s up?”

“I’m engaged to him.”

“What?” Jeremy was shocked, and his expression changed transiently. “What do you mean by that?”

“Didn’t you say you’re not jealous?” Madeline’s face showed a rare but playful smile.

Jeremy was anxious now. “Linnie, tell me what’s going on.”

Seeing the man’s anxious appearance, Madeline explained in a neither too fast nor too slow manner, “In order to not owe him any favors, I cooperated with him to put on a show.”

After Jeremy listened to Madeline’s explanation, the sadness on his handsome face did not disappear.

It only became more intense.

Madeline got closer to him. “Are you jealous now?”

Jeremy raised his deep and electrifying eyes. “Even if you’re just playing along according to the circumstances, you can’t put on such a performance.”

He was indeed bothered.

However, it had not been Madeline’s intention to do this. It was just that she did not have the right to choose. More importantly, she had to gain Carter’s trust this way to figure out what he wanted to do to Jeremy.

After seeing that Jeremy was still very upset, Madeline took the initiative to approach him.

“Jeremy, don’t worry. I’ll protect myself. Besides, his personality is very strange. Sometimes, he’ll be very dissatisfied with me and treat me coldly, so don’t worry about him falling for your wife, okay?”

Madeline shook the man’s arm.

“That’s enough. Don’t be angry. I’ll tell you one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“Carter has been investigating you.”

“Investigating me?”Jeremy’s expression began to become more serious. “Why is he investigating me?”

“I also want to know the reason, so I have to go back to him for the time being.”

“Linnie, this is too risky.” Jeremy disagreed. “If he knows that you’re the real Eveline Montgomery, you can’t predict what he’ll do to you.”

“But I want to figure out what he wants to do to you.” Madeline expressed her concern and determination. “I promise you that if I find myself in a dangerous situation, I’ll notify you as soon as possible.”

“No.” Jeremy still refused.

Madeline wanted to keep persuading the man, but the phone rang.

Madeline knew that it must be from Carter without even guessing.

She made a shushing gesture to Jeremy. Then, she picked up the phone and turned on the loudspeaker.

Carter’s voice sounded cold and indifferent. “Did you go out early in the morning? Are you back in Whitman Manor?”

“Yes, I’m back in Whitman Manor,” Madeline replied calmly, then she heard Carter chuckling faintly.

“Come back now.” Carter’s tone did not give her any room for negotiation. He was requesting and ordering her.

Madeline saw the dissatisfaction on Jeremy’s face but immediately agreed regardless. “Okay, I’ll go back soon.”

After saying these words, Madeline hung up the phone in a hurry for fear that Jeremy would directly grab the phone and fight Carter head-on.

However, what she did not expect was that Jeremy suddenly took the initiative to say, “I’ll drive you there.”

Madeline was taken aback.

Jeremy suddenly smiled and held her hand gently. “I told you before that I’ll support you in everything you want to do.”
