Chapter 1722
However, this time, Jeremy remained very calm. He chuckled softly and carefreely, saying, “Shirley has already told me that the anti-toxoid test reagent hasn’t been made. So even if she’s standing here, it won’t be of use.”
“So you won’t let her go, huh?” Carter was slowly losing his patience.
“You can go now. Don’t disturb my daughter’s rest.” Jeremy chased Carter away coldly.
Carter pressed his lips together tightly. He looked at Lillian who was blinking her clear wide eyes and then looked at Madeline while saying, “Jeremy, don’t regret this.”
“The thing I regret the most is that I only waited till now to teach that vile woman a lesson.”
‘Vile woman.’
Those two words pierced Carter’s eardrums. He felt that they sounded abnormally ear-piercing.
Carter did not continue questioning Jeremy and turned around to leave with a cold expression on his face.
After Carter left, Madeline immediately comforted the little princess and put her back to sleep. After Lillian was asleep, she looked at Jeremy before the two of them walked out of the room.
“Jeremy, is that true? Did you kidnap Shirley?” Madeline asked directly.
To be honest, she wanted to hear him denying this but she only saw him nodding.
“That’s right, I kidnapped her and locked her up.”
“Jeremy…” Madeline felt a twinge in her heart and she wanted to ask Jeremy to let Shirley go. After all, this was not something just and honorable.
However, before she could continue, Jeremy interrupted her.
“Linnie, I can’t take this anymore.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hand tightly in his palms.
