Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1237

Chapter 1237

Ryan said as he slowly got closer to Madeline’s face.

There was a strong possessiveness in those gray eyes of his.

His long and thin fingers landed on the button on the collar of Madeline’s shirt, undoing it.

Madeline raised her hand calmly and looked at Ryan coldly before pushing his hand away with a firm grip.

She said nothing before getting up and walking upstairs.

Ryan retracted his hand dispiritedly. As he looked at Madeline’s swift and graceful back, the appreciation and admiration in his eyes became more intense.

After Madeline returned to the room, she quickly took a shower and changed out of the clothes that Ryan had touched.

After walking out of the bathroom, Madeline wanted to find the suit again. When she passed by the study, she heard Ryan’s faint voice coming from inside.

“Mr. Thomas, this is the most reasonable price.”

‘Price?

‘Is this a business call?’

Madeline glanced suspiciously into the study. She saw Ryan standing in front of the French window with one hand in his pocket. He looked less modest and noble compared to how he looked in front of people. At this moment, he looked a little bit colder and more arrogant.

Madeline figured that Ryan was helping Mr. Jones with the company’s affairs, so she turned around and left.

However, after she took a few steps, she heard Ryan mentioning Yorick’s name.

Madeline leaned against the wall and listened carefully. Then she heard Ryan’s voice again.

“Mr. Thomas, you may not know some things. Yorick is dead. If you still want the goods to arrive in your hands as scheduled, you can only accept this price. I can tell you with certainty that even if Yorick were to come back to life, he’ll also give you this price,” Ryan said with a low chuckle.

“You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that the Stygian Johnson Gang has not been disbanded. I can help you get what you want.”

Madeline was surprised when she heard what Ryan said.

“She’s fine. I brought her to see Jeremy today and she called him ‘Daddy’.”

“Lily can talk now?” Fabian was excited.

Of course, Madeline would want Lillian to be able to talk normally, but aside from the word ‘Daddy’, she did not say anything else.

“Fabian, I want to ask you something.” Madeline lowered her voice. “How much do you know about the Stygian Johnsons?”

“Maybe not as much as you. Yorick never let me touch anything regarding the company. I was the one who made the initiative to kidnap you to the bar to threaten Felipe. After that, Yorick scolded me severely.”

Fabian sighed. Perhaps it was because he mentioned Yorick.

“Why are you asking me this, Eveline? Aren’t the Stygian Johnsons finished?”

“No.” Madeline denied. “They’re not. Even though your brother is dead, the person who’s overlooking the business of the Stygian Johnsons is still out here living his best life.”

“What?” Fabian was utterly shocked. “Eveline, are you saying that the boss of the Stygian Johnson Gang isn’t my brother?”
