Chapter 832
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âAlright.â Ken limped up to him.
Madeline did not have a chance to say anything before she was ignored.
However, she did not go to eat breakfast. On the contrary, she tiptoed to the second floor.
When she got to the end of the stairs, she heard Jeremyâs voice from the bedroom. âWe donât have enough evidence now, so I have to go to the warehouse to get more.â
âMr. Whitman, itâs too dangerous. Why donât we go back to Glendale before we do anything?â
âDo you think we can go back to Glendale now?â
Jeremy knew very well that Felipe had already marked his location.
The best proof was him firing at Ken yesterday.
Felipe already knew his whereabouts.
Felipe even knew that Madeline was with him.
âMr. Whitman, so what now? I canât help you now that Iâm like this.â
âYou should stay here and recover. He wonât want to kill you now as Iâm his biggest target.â Jeremyâs eyes looked calm as he made the final decision. âIf I donât come back before seven tonight, you should bring Eveline and go back to Glendale. Make sure she doesnât go back to Felipe no matter what.â
âGot it,â replied Ken. When he turned around to leave, he saw Madeline at the door.
Jeremy saw Ken freezing in his tracks before he spotted Madeline.
âGo back to your room to rest,â said Jeremy as he dismissed Ken. Then, he looked at Madeline.
âYouâve finished your breakfast?â
Madeline ignored him and looked at him with a solemn look. âJeremy, donât do anything stupid. Donât try to cause trouble for Felipe. This is my last advice for you as your ex-wife.â
âHeh.â Jeremy scoffed and walked up to Madeline to hold her face. âEveline, are you concerned about me?â
His deep voice sounded so gentle. Then, his eyes darkened. âIf I canât return and end up dying from Felipeâs gun, will you be sad for me just like how you used to? Will your heart shatter like how it used to when you couldnât see me?â
âJeremy, donât you dareââ
He pressed his lips against her in the middle of her sentence.
He kissed her passionately before letting go of her reluctantly.
âEven though youâre in love with another man, I still love you. Iâve never let you go even for one second.â His voice glided past her ears as gentle as the spring breeze.
Madeline was stunned for a second. When she came back to her senses, Jeremy had already gone downstairs.
It was obvious that he was on his way to some warehouse to gather more evidence, so Madeline chased after him.
She heard the sound of the car engine outside and increased her speed. However, since she was in a rush, she ended up slipping. She quickly held the wall next to her for support.
She stopped herself from falling, but when she steadied herself to walk to the door, Jeremy had already left.
Madeline was in a perturbed state of mind. Therefore, she went to Ken. âTell me where the warehouse Jeremy mentioned is.â
âMadam, I wonât let you risk your life.â Ken followed Jeremyâs order and kept his mouth shut.
âThe person risking his life now is Jeremy! Heâll die!â Madelineâs heart started beating erratically. She was terrified.
âTell me! Where is the warehouse? If you donât tell me, Iâll go look for Felipe now!â
âMadam!â Ken called out to Madeline. In the end, he had no choice but to tell her. âIâll tell you.â
â¦
Jeremy sped to the warehouse on Third Street.
The moment he got out of the car, three people walked in front of him. âMr. Jeremy Whitman, Mr. Felipe Whitman has been waiting for you. Come with me.â
Jeremy was not surprised at all. He already knew that Felipe had been tracking him the moment he brought Madeline away.
Felipe was only using Madeline as bait to be able to track him easily.
Jeremy calmly walked into the warehouse. Felipe was sitting on the sofa sipping on his tea. When he saw Jeremy, he curled the corners of his lips. âJeremy, Iâve been waiting for you. Youâre finally here!
Before you die, I brought you a gift that youâll never expect.â
