Chapter 976

How could Lana agree to that? However, she was petrified when she saw Yorick’s dark eyes.

She looked at Madeline and bit her lip. Then, she said reluctantly, “Eveline, you want me to apologize to you so desperately, huh? Alright, I’ll apologize to you!”

“Wait.” Madeline stopped her.

Lana was frustrated. “What else do you want?”

“I told you I want you to kneel and apologize,” Madeline emphasized, her eyes looking stern.

“You… Eveline, don’t win an inch and want a foot!” Lana was infuriated.

However, Madeline’s expression remained unchanged. “What’s kneeling and apologizing compared to two lives?”

“Yeah, it’s nothing!” Fabian chimed in next to Madeline.

Lana glared at Fabian before looking at Yorick.

However, Yorick was firm on his decision. If Madeline wanted her to kneel, then she had to kneel.

Lana had never experienced this kind of humiliation before. She bit her lip and knelt in front of Madeline without a choice.

Madeline towered over her, peering down at her in disdain. Then, she heard Lana saying reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Miss Montgomery.”

However, there was an evil smirk on Lana’s lips.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Montgomery. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have asked my boyfriend Hans to set fire to your house. Even though I didn’t do anything, Hans is still my boyfriend. If you’ll feel better after I apologize, then I’ll apologize to you sincerely.”

Lana’s apologies were actually words to trigger Madeline.

She knew the most effective way to hurt Madeline was to weaponize Jeremy.

When she saw Madeline’s clenched fists, she smirked while feeling pleased with herself.

“Miss Montgomery, my sister has already apologized. Are you satisfied with this?”

“Do you think you can rid yourself of the crime of killing two people just by apologizing?”

“Eveline, what do you mean?”

“I mean, even if you kneel before me a hundred times, I still won’t forgive you!” Madeline was extremely imposing. “Lana, I don’t care who’s backing you up. I’m not scared of you and I won’t let my parents die dubiously!”

When Lana heard this, she knew she had been played.

She was infuriated. When she was about to slap Madeline, Yorick was one step ahead of her and slapped her out of the blue.

“Are you not done?” Yorick yelled angrily. At that instant, Lana was completely stunned.

Yorick slapped her because of Madeline?

No way, this was too much!

Then, Yorick turned around and smiled at Madeline.

“If you’re not in a good mood today, we can meet up and talk about this another time.” Yorick was still gentle. “Fab, send Miss Montgomery home.”

After he said that, Jeremy appeared in front of Madeline. “I’ll send her.”

Madeline did not look at Jeremy. Instead, she turned around and walked out on her own.

Jeremy looked at Lana before following Madeline.

However, it was clear that Madeline did not want to get into Jeremy’s car. She would rather walk home than get into his car.

Yet, Jeremy refused to let Madeline leave just like that. He pulled her into the passenger’s seat and stepped on the accelerator.

“Stop the car!” Madeline ordered, but Jeremy pretended to not hear her.

When she saw Jeremy ignoring her, she glared at him as her eyes darkened slowly. “Did God make me meet you just so you can torture me? Will you only be happy when I’m unhappy?”

Madeline looked at the frowning man. There was no light in her soulful eyes. “Jeremy, I’m tired. I’m so exhausted. If there’s a next life, I hope I’ll never meet you.”

After she said that, she opened the door and jumped out of the speeding car.
