Hannah bit her lip and stared in the direction in which Jeremy and Madeline had left; her eyes were red and unwilling.
She knew that she had made a mistake; she had not investigated some things clearly before making things up.
She also knew that no one believed what she said, but she did have a relationship with Jeremy!
She would never forget what happened in the Royal Palace of St. Piaf that day for the rest of her life!
Jeremy brought Madeline back to the car. Once the car had gotten onto the road, the air about them fell into a moment of silence.
Jeremy’s leg was injured, so Madeline was driving the car. After a long moment of heavy silence, Jeremy opened his mouth and spoke.
“Did you know that it was dangerous? If she could make a fuss at the entrance of the company with no regard for her own reputation, you should know that she’s not a good person. How can you take the risk to see her alone?”
Jeremy’s words sounded like a reproach, but in fact, he was more concerned and worried about Madeline. Madeline was very clear about this in her heart.
She stayed silent for a few seconds and then quickly admitted her mistake. “I made you worry.”
Jeremy had not wanted to make Madeline admit her mistakes when he said that. He reached out and touched Madeline’s hand lightly.
Madeline felt Jeremy’s concern, so she waited for the traffic light to turn red and looked at Jeremy and smiled. However, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
“Jeremy, what are you going to do next?”
“Are you pitying her, sympathizing with her, Linnie?”
Madeline shook her head. “She lied. She’s not pregnant, and I didn’t ask someone to take action against her. But you and her…”
“Linnie, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Jeremy changed the subject and frowned slightly. “ That was a trap set up by Carter. The only pity she deserves is being used by Carter.”
