Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242

He stopped in his tracks and turned sideways to answer the phone in annoyance. He said flatly, “I’ll be there in a sec.”

He hung up the phone and turned to face Madeline who looked cold and cheerless. “I have something to take care of now. Just go on with your business.”

Madeline ignored him. After she heard Ryan driving away, she immediately went to Ryan’s study.

Although the door was closed, Ryan had told her the code of the door when they got married and Madeline still remembered it. Hence, she easily opened the door and went in.

She did not hesitate before locating the safe.

She tried to open the safe with the code of the door but failed.

Madeline stood in a daze in front of the safe for a while when she figured that Ryan must be keeping a lot of information about the Stygian Johnson Gang in his computer.

When she was about to turn on the computer, she suddenly thought of something and quickly left the study.

Ryan was looking at the surveillance footage in the study on his phone. After seeing Madeline leaving with a disappointed expression, he curled his lips and smirked.

When he came to the place where Jeremy was detained, he saw Jeremy in prison clothes and poor spirits. Ryan walked over to him with a cocky grin and smiled at the sickly man in front of him.

“There’s no doubt that you’ll get the death penalty.” Ryan was confident, and his eyes flowed with the joy of imminent victory.

Jeremy sat lazily against the wall. He was looking calmly at Ryan who was standing over the other side of the bars with his amber eyes that were hiding under his thick eyelashes.

“I want to see the higher-ups of Interpol,” Jeremy requested.

Ryan chuckled. “You can’t, Jeremy. Leave this world forever with the secret you know. I’ll help you take care of your woman and children.”

Jeremy clenched his fists when he heard Ryan’s provocative words. His eyes were piercing through Ryan like sharp knives.

Ryan ignored Jeremy’s gloomy eyes and smiled before taking a step closer. “Jeremy, you lost because you put too much importance on your woman. But I have to admit it’s pretty difficult to not be moved when one sees Eveline. I think I’ve fallen in love with her too.”
