Chapter 1248
“Eveline, what are you doing?” Jeremy looked puzzled.
“We were husband and wife. I don’t want you to die with this horrible poison inside of you.” Madeline looked straight at the man and injected the reagent into Jeremy’s arm without hesitation.
She looked at the man who was not struggling. The corners of her eyes were turning red. “You’re going to court tomorrow and I hope that this isn’t the last time we’re meeting.”
Jeremy seemed lost when he heard what Madeline said.
Madeline’s sad face was reflected in his pupils. Before he could say anything, she left.
As soon as Madeline walked out the door, she saw Ryan waiting for her.
She walked up to him, said thank you, and got in the car.
Ryan knew that Madeline was feeling depressed now, so he did not bother Madeline.
After he sent Madeline home, he thoughtfully made a cup of coffee for her. “Don’t think too much about it. I’ll accompany you to the hearing tomorrow.”
Madeline took the coffee and nodded gently.
“I’m going to the study to get something. Then, I’ll be going out,” Ryan said and went upstairs.
The moment he went upstairs, the phone on the coffee table rang.
Madeline glanced at the phone and saw that there was no caller ID on the screen. She answered the phone without thinking too much.
A man with a foreign accent started speaking from the other end. “Tomorrow afternoon, two o’clock. My people will come to pick up the goods at the abandoned dock in Glendale.”
After she heard that, Madeline answered calmly, “Okay, I’ll tell him.”
The person on the other end was stunned. “Who are you?”
“I’m the woman whose name is currently on his marriage certificate.”
Madeline’s answer reassured the other party. “Remember to tell him. Don’t get it wrong.”
“I will,” Madeline promised.
It did not take long before Ryan came downstairs. He picked up the phone on the coffee table, greeted Madeline, and went out.
