Chapter 1152
“How do you plan to deal with it?” she asked.
“I promised I wouldn’t go overboard, right? Just wait for me at home, okay? It’ll be alright.”
The man gently caressed the back of her head before turning to walk out the door coolly.
“Jeremy,” Madeline called out after him.
The man turned around and gave an assuring smile in response to the worry in her eyes. “Don’t worry, just wait for me at home.”
Madeline nodded. After watching him drive away, she headed to the lab.
On the way to Whitman Corporation, Jeremy made two phone calls, the second one to Ryan.
He answered the phone calmly within the first few rings. “How do you still have the time to call me now? You must’ve seen the things online, haven’t you? What are you going to do about it?”
Jeremy replied nonchalantly, “Is this you admitting to being the person behind all of this, then?”
Ryan did not reply and only chuckled subtly. “There has always been two things that hinder men ever since the beginning of time, Jeremy Whitman. One of them, women, and the other one, authority and fame.
“You chose the former and that has become your Achilles heel.” Ryan paused. “I could give you the chance to spend your last moments with the woman you love, Jeremy, if only you didn’t know so much.”
Ryan hung up the phone as if he had already won Jeremy.
Jeremy removed the Bluetooth earphone and stared heavily at the road before him. His dark eyes sparkled with an intelligent flare.
Driving toward Whitman Corporation, he was met with a large group of people made up of reporters, journalists, and passersby looking for gossip before he even reached the entrance.
Someone suddenly shouted, “Jeremy Whitman is here!”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the car Jeremy was driving over and they crashed toward him like a wave.
Jeremy’s car was immediately surrounded.
All sorts of doubts, questions, and even words that held personal attacks began to sound in the air.
“Shouldn’t you respond to what’s trending online, Mr. Whitman?”
Jeremy’s cold gaze was sharp as his words punctured the air. “I don’t care what you want to say about me, but you leave my wife out of this.”
“Chupse…”
The crowd sucked in a sharp breath of air at Jeremy’s response while that male reporter merely scoffed. “Your wife? That’s Ryan Jones’ wife!”
Having had enough, Jeremy grabbed the man by his collar. “She’s my wife and will only ever be my wife!” he emphasized frostily as his eagle-sharp eyes stared into the man who was shivering.
The man trembled and immediately urged the passersby. “Quick, look! Jeremy Whitman is hitting people! He can’t explain the vile things he has done with Eveline Montgomery, so he’s trying to kill me now!”
The people by the side were easily influenced and started blowing Jeremy’s actions out of proportion.
Sitting by the computer, Ryan watched the scene before with satisfaction.
Thinking that Jeremy’s reputation would take a huge plummet, he was about to turn his computer off when Madeline suddenly made her way through the crowd toward Jeremy.
At the same time, the internet suddenly erupted with a piece of news that threw all of Ryan’s hard work out the window!
