Chapter 1639
Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand tightly and firmly pushed her back into the car.
“Jeremy!”
“Linnie, go on ahead!” Jeremy said in a stern tone, “I won’t let them come near you.”
The determination on Jeremy’s face made Madeline breathless.
The police officers and bodyguards stopped their cars. They strode up close toward Jeremy. The police in the lead showed Jeremy their work permits.
“Jeremy Whitman, your actions just now have violated the law of St. Piaf. You and Eveline Montgomery are under arrest in the name of the law. Let me make this clear, no matter what status you might hold in Glendale, this is St. Piaf!”
As the officer finished speaking, he approached to handcuff Jeremy.
Madeline slammed the car door and rushed to Jeremy’s side at once. She gazed sternly at the police officers who wanted to arrest her and Jeremy.
“Running from the wedding was my idea. I instigated Jeremy. He didn’t violate any of your laws in St. Piaf. I was the one who forced him to take me away.”
Jeremy knew that Madeline was doing this for his sake, but he did not want to be the reason for her being charged with a heavier crime.
As he was about to step forward and take the blame, Madeline, however, lifted her beautiful eyes, using that subtle look to force Jeremy to give up on that idea.
“Arrest me. I’ll come with you.” Madeline voluntarily stretched out her hands, facing the handcuffs.
Watching this scene unfold made Jeremy feel as though his eyes were being pricked by needles, which was extraordinarily painful.
Years ago, he had already made her suffer such a serious and unwarranted disaster.
