Chapter 75
It was already dark, and Madeline helped the drunk Ava into the cab.
When she turned around, she was surprised to see Jeremy standing at the front door.
He leaned against his car lazily. One of his hands was in his pocket while the other was holding a cigarette. The end of the cigarette was lit up before it gradually dimmed in the night. He looked pretty lonesome.
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know whether she was nervous. She wanted to stay away from Jeremy, but the man had already seen her.
His cold gaze landed on Madeline. “Get in.”
He was always commanding her, never giving Madeline the chance to choose.
Madeline calmly averted her gaze from him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. We should talk tomorrow. It’s late now.”
Jeremy frowned. He stood in front of Madeline in frustration. “I asked you to get in.”
“Who’s that? Why is it so noisy?” Something was blocking her way, so Ava lifted her head while in a drunken state. She looked at Jeremy for a while and suddenly, she burst out laughing. “I was wondering who it is. It’s just you, you scumbag.”
After she said that, Madeline could feel Jeremy’s agitation.
She was worried that Jeremy would let his anger out on Ava, so she quickly smoothed things over. “Ava, you’re drunk. I’ll take you to bed.”
“I’m not drunk! And I didn’t get the wrong person too! He’s that scumbag, Jeremy Whitman!” Ava pointed at Jeremy angrily. His face was icy now. “Why are you here? What were you doing when Maddie was suffering? You only know how to hold that mistress of yours!” Ava yelled at Jeremy. Her voice was exceptionally loud in the middle of the night.
