Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1211

Chapter 1211

“The police?” Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately took action and made Jeremy hide in the room.

Ding dong, ding dong! The ringing of the doorbell continued, and this made Madeline feel worried about Jeremy being busted.

Madeline made her way into the bathroom without any hesitation. She wet her wig and put on a bathing robe. Then, she took out a big towel and pretended to wipe her hair dry as if she had just taken her bath. Only then did she go to open the door.

“What was taking you so long? What were you doing in there?” asked a young police officer who looked crossed.

Madeline put on a vexed look as she lowered her head to wipe her hair, covering her features. She said in a lazy tone, “Hey police officer, can’t you see that I’m taking a bath? What’s the urgent issue right here?”

The police officer scanned through the room. “We’re investigating a murder case in the room ahead. No guests are allowed to stay in any of the rooms on this floor. Please pack up and leave this place as soon as possible.”

“How can it be? I just arrived here with my boyfriend.” Madeline retorted, putting on an unpleasant look.

The police officer lost his cool. “Just leave when you’re ordered to. Those who’re in the way of the officers’ work will be interrogated, do you know that?”

“Alright, I’ll leave once I’m done changing my clothes.” Madeline snorted like she was not satisfied and closed the door.

After closing the door, Madeline quickly took off the bathing robe and discarded the towel. She returned to Jeremy’s side and yanked his arm.

“Jeremy, I know you’re here waiting for an opportunity to look for clues, but if you don’t leave, the police may spot you.”

Jeremy knew what Madeline was worried about. He had no intention to go against her wish. “I’ll listen to you, Linnie.”

He put on a casual outfit, wore a pair of sunglasses that he had prepared earlier, then grabbed onto Madeline’s shoulder. They looked just like a lovely couple. They both hugged each other and left the room for the elevator.

A police officer who was just done patrolling the nearby rooms saw Madeline and Jeremy’s back views, making him puzzled.
