Chapter 1721
“Jeremy, why do you have this in your pocket?”
Madeline brought the earring in front of Jeremy. Of course, she was not suspicious nor was she questioning him. She just felt that this was a little strange.
When Jeremy saw the earring, his mind went straight to Shirley.
He figured that it had fallen into his pocket when he brought Shirley into the car.
Jeremy did not know how he should dodge the question. He figured Madeline would not believe any excuses as to why he had a piece of woman’s jewelry in his pocket.
Upon seeing Jeremy hesitating as though he did not know how to answer her, Madeline felt a little worried. “Jeremy, what’s the matter with you? Who does this earring belong to?”
Jeremy knew he could not hide this anymore, and he really did not want to lie to Madeline either.
“It probably belongs to Shirley.” Jeremy did not hide it anymore.
“Why is Shirley’s earring in your pocket? Did you go to find her?” Madeline’s expression became anxious as her heart started beating frantically. “Jeremy, d-did you do something to her?”
Jermy felt remorseful when he saw Madeline’s worried expression.
He held Madeline’s shoulders and when he was about to tell her what was going on, someone pushed the room door open all of a sudden.
Lillian was sleeping but when she heard the noise, she woke up abruptly.
Jeremy looked at the man who barged through the door in displeasure. “Why are you here? Don’t disturb my daughter’s rest. Get out.”
Madeline looked at Carter in dissatisfaction and quickly walked to Lillian to comfort her.
However, Cater did not leave. Instead, he strode over.
