Chapter 125
Madeline was stunned and did not even have the chance to deny it when Jeremy gently lifted her chin, his warm breath closing in on her, causing her heart to beat wildly. She heard a sinister laugh from him. “I’ve said it before, even if you die, you need to die by my hands.”
His magnetic voice reverberated in Madeline’s ears like a nightmare.
Madeline could only state in horror at the man’s evil smile as her heart thumped against her chest. He was not saving her, he just wanted to kill her himself!
“Hand me the earring,” Jeremy demanded.
Remembering the fact that he had already destroyed evidence for Meredith that could have proven Madeline’s innocence, Madeline knew she absolutely could not hand the earring over to Jeremy.
She hurriedly turned around but was held in place by Jeremy.
“Madeline, don’t make me repeat myself, give it to me.” Jeremy’s tone got a lot colder.
Madeline frantically shook her head, clenching her fist tightly. “I won’t give it to you! I want to hand this to the police, I won’t let Meredith remain free!”
Jeremy’s face darkened as he said, “Madeline, you really never learn.”
With some force, he pulled Madeline right into his embrace. He used his hands to hold on to Madeline’s, prying open her fingers one at a time.
Even though Madeline was extremely anxious, the moment she thought about Meredith’s true, evil self, her grip tightened.
She was also immensely disappointed in Jeremy. As she struggled, she angrily said, “Jeremy, I really don’t know how you could] ignore so much evil just to protect Meredith! I really regret being so blind that I fell for a man like you.”
