Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1879

Without further questions, Jeremy smiled in apparent agreement and replied, “I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

Madeline’s eyes twinkled as a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. She affectionately leaned back into Jeremy’s embrace once again.

The stars tonight were not bright, but at this moment, Madeline felt warm in her heart.

The following morning, Madeline went to the police station with Jeremy.

After leaving the police station, Jeremy drove his car to the main entrance of Gray Villa.

Madeline and Jeremy were barred from entry by a bodyguard at the entrance, but Jeremy was not someone that would allow himself to be stopped.

Carter and Camille had originally chartered a flight to bring Shirley back to St. Piaf today, but Ada’s mother had suddenly shown up in a fit of rage.

Presently, she was in the living room demanding an explanation from Carter and Camille.

Madeline and Jeremy had just arrived at the door when they heard Ada’s mother yelling angrily.       

“Carter, is this how a husband should behave? How could you have your people throw your wife, a formidable Viscountess, into a dog kennel? Do I have a hearing problem, or are you actually insane? My beloved daughter is a human being! You’d better release her right now!”

Carter smiled faintly after listening to Ada’s mother. “A human being? Since when has your beloved daughter ever treated a human’s life seriously, huh?”

“…” Ada’s mother subtly averted her gaze upon hearing those words.

“It was your beloved daughter who started a fire, killing two of my friends whom I had invited to my house. It’s my greatest kindness not to send a cruel woman like her to prison.”

Carter’s cold eyes narrowed as his dark gaze landed on the face of Ada’s mother.

“This woman has challenged me and crossed the line repeatedly. Even if she dies, she deserves it.”

“….” Ada’s mother saw the murderous intent that flashed across Carter’s eyes.

With that, Carter threw a cold glance at Ada’s mother and spoke in a casual tone.

“If you have any questions, feel free to ask Mrs. Whitman, because she was the one who identified your beloved daughter as the arsonist.”

Ada’s mother had no idea it was Madeline who had testified against Ada.

She had only managed to find out about Ada’s current condition by bribing a servant.

Her rage immediately burst forth.

She could not lash out at Carter and Camille, but she could direct her anger at Madeline.

Ada’s mother thought to herself as she advanced toward Madeline menacingly.

Before she managed to walk up to Madeline, however, Jeremy had taken a step forward and stood in front of Madeline.
