Chapter 1204
“Are you alright? Are you alone right now?” Jeremy pestered, feeling worried.
Madeline quickly answered, “Yeah, I’m about to drive back home.”
Jeremy was relieved after obtaining her answer. “Alright, then hurry back home. I’ll wait for you.”
Madeline hung up the call, but she felt that something was off.
‘Did something just happen? Why is he so worried about me?’
While she was deep in her thoughts, some news popped up on her phone’s news feed. Before she could even look at the news, Ava called her.
Ava’s tone was even more anxious compared to Jeremy’s. “Maddie, is this for real?! Jeremy killed Lana?!”
Madeline felt a wave of shock coursing through her as she stood absent-minded. A moment later, she asked, “Ava, why are you asking such a thing?”
“Haven’t you seen the news on the net? It’s spreading like wildfire!” Ava said in an exaggerated manner, “I thought that Lana was imprisoned in F Country. I didn’t think she’d be released so soon. Yeah, she’s cruel and she deserves to be dead, but with Jeremy killing her off like that, he’ll be implicated in her affairs. Then, what’s going to happen to you in the future? Why is he acting without thinking ahead?”
Madeline’s mind went blank. She was lost regarding what Ava was trying to convey to her through this phone call.
Madeline knew that Lana was indeed in Glendale. Besides, back when Madeline saw Lana, she almost lost control and nearly attempted to choke that cruel lady to death.
‘Did Jeremy find out that Lana is in Glendale as well? Did he lose control just like I did?’
Madeline held onto her phone, not knowing what to do next. She wanted to call Jeremy, but the news just kept popping up.
She clicked into one of the news and saw the content that Ava had talked about earlier. It was stated that Lana was found dead in a presidential suite in a big hotel in Glendale. Her death had been a brutal one. Her body was found to have three gunshot wounds, and the shot at her heart was the one that cost her life.
Madeline even found a short video that was about three to four seconds long. In the scene, it showed a glimpse of Jeremy making an appearance at the presidential suite after the incident.
She was not mistaken. That was indeed Jeremy.
