Chapter 1474
He asked the person on the other end of the phone lazily.
Madeline subconsciously looked at the man with the corner of her eyes. Then, she heard Jeremy exclaiming in puzzlement. “Ryan is dead?”
After Jeremy said that, Madeline noticed the woman who was impersonating her lifting her head suddenly. Plus, her expression and the look in her eyes had changed as well.
She looked as if she was in shock. However, Madeline noticed another subtle expression.
After Jeremy hung up the phone, Madeline saw the imposter recomposing her expression before walking over to ask.
“Jeremy, what did you say? Ryan is dead? He’s in jail, so how’d he die all of a sudden?” she asked, her eyes filled with intense desire for information.
Jeremy looked at the imposter and said flatly, “I don’t know the details but I know the Jones family is having a funeral. It’s confirmed that Ryan is dead.”
After he said that, Jeremy saw that the woman was taken aback. She looked as if she was in a daze.
“Linnie, is it difficult for you to accept this?” he asked softly.
The imposter came back to her senses and shook her head. “Why would I be sad? He did all those things to me and tried to separate us, so why would I be sad for him? Of course not, no…”
The woman said, and toward the end, she sounded like she was mumbling to herself.
Madeline noticed something was amiss but at the same time, her phone rang.
This was the phone Carter gave her before she left. At this point in time, he was the only person who could call her.
After Madeline answered the call, she chatted briefly before hanging up.
She glanced at the imposter before walking near Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman, I have to pack some of my clothes and daily necessities. I’ll come back later.”
“I’m going out as well. Let me drive you.”
“No need.”
“You don’t have to be so courteous. Let’s go.”
