Chapter 1223
Ryan never expected Madeline to do this.
He looked at his empty hands and could not help but feel at a loss.
Jeremy was shocked as well. Madeline’s swift and unwavering action was out of his expectation. At the same time, it caught his eyes as well.
However, Madeline was unperturbed. She pressed her lips together and stared straight at Ryan. At this moment, her courage and grandeur were impeccable.
Madeline did not say anything to Ryan. She turned her face slightly and said to Jeremy gently, “Jeremy, leave now.”
“Linnie.”
“Go!” Madeline pretended to be mad as she chased Jeremy away. “Jeremy, I trust that you won’t kill anyone. I also trust that the true murderer will be exposed one day!”
She looked at Jeremy who had reluctance in his eyes. “Go.”
Jeremy felt that he could not let this woman down after he saw the determination and concern in her eyes.
He looked at Madeline longingly before his deep eyes scanned Ryan’s face.
Then, Jeremy dragged his body that had been defeated by the poison and quickly left the roof.
Even after that, Madeline did not let go of the gun in her hand. She was still pointing it at Ryan in an overbearing manner and contemplating whether Jeremy had already left the building.
“He’s very far away now. So, shouldn’t you put the gun down now?” Ryan reminded her. There was intense dissatisfaction in his voice. “I really hate it when someone points the gun at me. Including you, Eveline,” he said in annoyance. Suddenly, he reached out to snatch the gun from Madeline’s hand.
When Madeline was fighting back, she accidentally pulled the trigger and the gun went off with a loud bang.
Jeremy had just left the building when all of a sudden, he heard the loud gunshot breaking the silence of the night.
He started feeling anxious as he turned his feet around immediately.
