Chapter 876
She turned around in shock and was met with Jeremy’s frosty expression.
“Jer-Jeremy…”
She stared frantically at the man walking toward her. Pushing Madeline’s hand away, she turned and ran only to have something hold her by the neck again the next second. Meredith had just taken two full breaths when the feeling of suffocation overcame her again.
Jeremy’s fingers were like icicles, seeping into her skin and causing Meredith to shiver.
It felt like Jeremy was truly about to kill her.
Anger oozed from the man as his grip tightened. The strength he exerted was enough to reopen the wound on his shoulder, causing blood to seep out.
Madeline immediately grabbed Jeremy’s hand. “Let go of her, Jeremy.”
She persuaded him not because she pitied Meredith and not because she did not want Jeremy to face murder charges because of such a person, but rather because her heart hurt to see his injuries worsen.
Jeremy had no desire to let go. She could feel the killing intent ooze from his bones.
His hatred for Meredith was not something that could be put into words.
Not even the death of Meredith could placate his anger for the years he and Madeline had wasted.
Jeremy’s gaze grew unhinged as Madeline grabbed his other hand.
“I hate her just as much as you do, Jeremy, but she’s not worth being charged with murder for. Think about Jack, think about Lillian. Our family hasn’t even had the chance to reunite yet. Let go of her, Jeremy. Jeremy!”
Jeremy’s rationality was slowly reined back with every shout Madeline made.
