Chapter 125

Madeline was stunned and did not even have the chance to deny it when Jeremy gently lifted her chin, his warm breath closing in on her, causing her heart to beat wildly. She heard a sinister laugh from him.

“I’ve said it before, even if you die, you need to die by my hands.”

His magnetic voice reverberated in Madeline’s ears like a nightmare.

Madeline could only state in horror at the man’s evil smile as her heart thumped against her chest. He was not saving her, he just wanted to kill her himself!

“Hand me the earring,” Jeremy demanded.

Remembering the fact that he had already destroyed evidence for Meredith that could have proven Madeline’s innocence, Madeline knew she absolutely could not hand the earring over to Jeremy.

She hurriedly turned around but was held in place by Jeremy.

“Madeline, don’t make me repeat myself, give it to me.” Jeremy’s tone got a lot colder.

Madeline frantically shook her head, clenching her fist tightly. “I won’t give it to you! I want to hand this to the police, I won’t let Meredith remain free!”

Jeremy’s face darkened as he said, “Madeline, you really never learn.”

With some force, he pulled Madeline right into his embrace. He used his hands to hold on to Madeline’s, prying open her fingers one at a time.

Even though Madeline was extremely anxious, the moment she thought about Meredith’s true, evil self, her grip tightened.

She was also immensely disappointed in Jeremy. As she struggled, she angrily said, “Jeremy, I really don’t know how you could] ignore so much evil just to protect Meredith! I really regret being so blind that I fell for a man like you.”

As Madeline said that in frustration, Jeremy suddenly bent his head down and kissed her.

Other than three years ago, under the influence of drugs, Jeremy had never kissed her.

Even when they did things that were reserved for married couples, he never once kissed her.

However, he was doing it right now.

Madeline’s eyes widened as she froze, feeling Jeremy’s lips and teeth clash with hers, she felt as if she lost the ability to breathe.

After a few seconds, Madeline started to struggle with all her might, she did not want to turn into that man’s plaything.

However, Jeremy was too strong, he held her tighter the more she struggled, and there seemed to be some sort of power coming from him that caused her to be unable to move, slowly diminishing her ability to fight back.

Madeline did not know how long it was before Jeremy released her, she looked at the smiling man with her heart frantically beating.

“Madeline, you say you don’t love me, but your reaction was quite honest.” Jeremy smiled softly, his tone mocking and filled with ridicule.

Madeline’s face reddened and was about to retort when she noticed the earring in Jeremy’s hand.

Looking at her hand, the earring seemed to have been taken away by him.

She finally realized Jeremy’s intentions. She wanted to laugh, but could only feel a sense of disgust.

“Jeremy, in order to protect Meredith, you’re even willing to sell yourself!”

Jeremy barely spared her a glance before walking toward the nearby lake.

Madeline chased after him in realization. “Jeremy, what are you trying to do? Don’t!”
