Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1640

Chapter 1640

Jeremy opened his lips calmly and said, “It’s the Carter Gray of St. Piaf, the one of royal lineage.”

“…” The police officer was stunned by the words. Then, he immediately denied, “What nonsense are you going on about? Mr. Gray wouldn’t do such a thing. You are simply being outrageous!”

As soon as the police officer had finished scolding, the interrogation room door opened, admitting a seemingly more experienced, middle-aged police officer who politely invited in another individual.

Jeremy’s face was a mask of calm as he watched the man approach him, his hands hardening into fists.

Carter noticed Jeremy’s displeasure and pressed his lips into a complacent smile.

“I’ve reminded you a long time ago that challenging me will only ensnare her into this situation.”

Upon hearing this, Jeremy’s clenched fist slowly loosened. The corners of his beautiful lips burst into a smile that looked even more contented than Carter’s.

“Carter, do you think you’ve won in this situation? You’re wrong. If your eyes worked properly, you would have seen that this is exactly the situation that Linnie and I wanted to happen.”

“…” Carter’s smile faltered slightly. He understood what Jeremy meant.

Jeremy stood up and his cold gaze swept past Carter’s face, unconcerned. “Carter, I appreciate you saving Linnie’s life, but this doesn’t justify fooling her as you wish. If Linnie is hurt in any way, I will fight you to death.”

After hearing those words, a few moments passed before a forced smile appeared on Carter’s face.

“Mr. Whitman, my life and yours are very valuable. Surely, we don’t need to risk that for a woman…”

“This woman’s life is even more important than mine,” Jeremy interrupted Carter without hesitation.

Carter’s smile froze, and his expression darkened considerably.
