Chapter 834
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âJeremy, do you still think you have the chance to get out of here alive?â Felipeâs victorious smile spread across his face gradually.
Jeremy was still calm. âWhy donât we have a little competition? Weâll see whoâs faster.â
After he said that, Felipeâs expression changed.
Felipe would not joke about his life, and neither would he take this riskânot when he was going against Jeremy.
While the man was hesitating, Jeremy shot the pistol away from Felipeâs hand.
When the pistol fell, he grabbed it one step ahead of Felipe and pointed it at Felipeâs heart.
The situation changed so quickly that the smirk on Felipeâs face was already gone.
âTell them to go out,â ordered Jeremy.
Felipe barked his order coldly. âGet out.â
âMr. Whitman, weââ
âF*ck off!â Jeremy chased them away impatiently.
The bodyguards did not dare to go against his order, so they went out to keep an eye on them.
They figured if Jeremy dared to do something rash, they would fire at the same time. They did not believe that Jeremy would be able to dodge so many bullets at one go.
Now, Jeremy and Felipe were the only ones in the warehouse.
âAre you surprised, Uncle? You didnât expect me to get the upper hand, huh?â
âHmph.â Felipe scoffed in disdain. âYou wonât get away with this if you dare to touch me.â
âSince Iâm already here, I have no plans to get out.â Jeremy was calm, but his gaze was getting colder and colder. There was a biting coldness enveloping his entire body. âFelipe, youâre right. We have to put an end to this.â
âIn the past year, you almost caused Grandpa to go into a vegetative state and you also used Evelineâs hatred toward me to devour the entire Whitman Corporation. I still remember all of these.
âWhen I was still Evelineâs husband, you were already trying to get close to her so you could make her trust and depend on you. I want to thank you for bringing her back to life, but thatâs not a reason for you to keep using and possessing her.â
Jeremyâs grip on the trigger tightened slightly while his eyes were filled with an overwhelming dominance.
âFelipe, if one of us has to die today, I donât think itâll be me. I wonât let Eveline spend the rest of her life alone. Sheâs still my wife. Her body and her heart can only belong to me.â
What Jeremy meant was clear when he said that, and a flash of panic appeared in Felipeâs eyes.
Jeremy was going to shoot him now.
However, at this moment, the sound of familiar footsteps traveled into Jeremyâs ears from afar.
âStop it!â
Madelineâs voice reverberated across the warehouse.
Jeremyâs finger loosened, and in the next second, Madeline ran in front of him. She was using her body to shield Felipe.
âJeremy, if you want to kill someone, then kill me.â
Jeremyâs heart fell into an abyss after seeing Madelineâs firm decision in protecting Felipe.
His heart was aching. âEveline, what are you talking about? Youâre even willing to die for someone like him?â
Madeline looked into Jeremyâs angry eyes neither obsequiously nor superciliously. Then, she spotted a row of guns aiming at him from the corner of her eyes.
Her heart was beating loudly, but she still said without changing her expression, âI canât let the child in my stomach be born without a father. So, Jeremy, if you want to shoot, then shoot me.â
