Chapter 1000
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âLana!â Yorick was infuriated. âYouâll get on the flight back to F Country the first thing tomorrow morning! Youâre not allowed to come back to Glendale ever again!â
Lana gritted her teeth and kicked the coffee table away before running out of the door.
After Lana left, Fabian walked mischievously next to Yorick and asked, âHey, is that true? Thereâs seriously a man like that who has the power to make the leader of the Stygian Johnson Gang bend and scrape to curry favor?â
Yorick looked at the innocent Fabian with a grim look on his face.
âFab, you should go back to F Country with your sister.â
âNo, I still have something to do here.â Fabian rejected. Then, he asked, âWhy donât you tell me who that man is? Do I know him?â
âItâs best if you donât know about this,â Yorick said profoundly. Then, he finally noticed Fabianâs brown hair. âYouâve changed your image quite a lot recently. Are you dating someone?â
âDating?â Fabian scoffed. âNo way. No girl in this world is worthy of me.â He looked smug, but when he recalled how he was rejected when he gave Lillian the lollipops, he felt defeated.
It seemed that it would be difficult for him to get a taste of that sweet romance.

Lana drove to the bar and even brought Naomi along.
When she saw her, Lana started screaming. âWhy didnât you call me earlier or later? Why did you have to call me at that time? Youâve ruined my plan, do you know that?â
Naomi was yelled at all of a sudden, but she did not dare to fight back. She asked instead, âLana, why are you so angry? I just wanted to ask you out for a drink.â
Lana downed her rum and told Naomi what happened just now.
After Naomi heard that, she was shocked. âWhat? Yorick has someone behind his back? Who is it?â
âYou called when I was about to see his face!â
âUm, Lana, I had no idea.â Naomi felt aggrieved.
Lana was seething. However, she knew it would be useless yelling at Naomi. As such, she kept drowning herself in alcohol. After she drank and smoked, she went to the dancefloor to dance with some men.
As she was dancing, a figure attracted her attention.
âJeremy?â She looked at the figure outside the door of the bar and could not stop her feet from taking her to him.
Naomi had drunk a lot as well. When she saw Lana walking to the door, she followed after her.
When Lana got to the door and saw the man she had failed to get, she threw herself at him like a bee to honey. However, the man ignored her and continued walking.
âJeremy, donât leave.â Lana stumbled after him. âJeremy, sooner or later, youâll be mine. Eveline is not compatible with you. How can that woman compare to me?â
After she said that, the man stopped walking. He opened the door of the car on the side of the road.
Lana lifted her red face and looked at the good-looking face in front of her flirtatiously.
âJeremy, youâre so bad. Where are you taking me?â
The man said coldly, âYouâll know after you get in.â
Lana was smiling seductively. Then, she got into the car with Naomi following behind her.
She did not know where they were going or how long they had been on the road. After Lana and Naomi got out of the car, they passed out.
When the sun started to come out, Lana and Naomi were still deep in slumber. Suddenly, they felt as if they had plunged into an ice cave as a bone-piercing coldness enveloped them.
The two of them shivered and opened their eyes.
The glaring morning light penetrated through the window. Cockroaches and rats could be seen running all over the floor. Lana and Naomi screamed, reflexively wanting to avoid these pests. However, when they were about to move, they realized they had been tied up.
âWhatâs going on?â Lana shrieked, âWho? Who did this? Come out now!â
After she said that, Lana felt a shadow looming behind her.
