Chapter 926

The man frowned his beautiful eyebrows with discomfort. When Madeline gripped his hand with even more force, he forcefully broke away from her. His low magnetic voice was very cold.

“Are you trying to get my attention by acting this way? I’m not interested in pregnant women, so stop following me.”

When Madeline’s palm became empty again, her heart seemed to have followed suit and hollowed out.

She could not believe that she was looking at the man who did not know her. It was clear that he was starting to dislike her. She was not sure whether she should be happy or even sadder.

She should feel happy.

After all, he was still alive.

There was nothing more important for her than for him to be alive and living well.

Madeline told herself so and caught up with him. “Jeremy Whitman, don’t go.”

When he was stopped by Madeline again, unpleasant emotions appeared on the handsome man’s face. “If you pester me again, I’ll definitely make you regret it.” He warned.

Madeline looked at the cold-eyed man with distress in her eyes. “Jeremy, I know there must be some reason for you to be acting like this. If you go with me, I’ll prove to you who we are to each other.”

She took his hand and wanted to walk off with him, but when she turned around, Lana had appeared in front of her.

Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand with even more force, her eyes turning hostile as Lana walked toward them.

Lana wore a sexy short skirt, and her short hair was changed into another style once more. It was dyed blue-gray now, but one thing did not change about her—she was still as pretentious as ever.

“Eveline, please let go of my man’s hand,” Lana said.

When Lana said that, Madeline’s clenched hand was broken free.

The man behind her walked straight to Lana’s side. His eyes that were initially indifferent suddenly looked at Lana with gentleness. “I don’t know where this woman came from. She suddenly told me that she wants to take me away.”

Madeline listened to the man in disbelief and saw Lana’s red lips curving up into a big smile.

“Lana.” Madeline understood what had happened. “It turns out you were the one behind all of this. You ordered someone to do the yacht shooting. Your goal was to get Jeremy.”

Lana smiled brightly and walked to the man’s side. “Mrs. Whitman, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Hans Zimmerman, not your husband, Jeremy.”

Based on her personal experiences, Madeline did not believe that there was someone who would look exactly the same in this world. What was more, the warmth and touch that she felt from Jeremy was one of a kind.

When she saw that Madeline was full of questions, Lana explained, “That’s right. I loved Mr. Whitman so much that I found a man who has almost the same body type as him and got a plastic surgeon to reproduce his face on Hans’ face, perfecting the look.”

Lana glanced at the man next to her with satisfaction. She then looked over at Madeline with pride and sarcasm. “It seems that the surgery was very successful that even Jeremy’s wife can’t tell the difference.”

“Lana, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? This is Jeremy!”

Of course, Madeline would not believe what Lana said as she felt that Lana was very bad at lying.

She loved that man for many years. Everything from the expression in his eyes to his breath was carved in her heart.

Even if there were actually two people in the world who looked the same, there would never be a second man who would be able to give her the same heart-throbbing feeling.

When Lana saw Madeline’s steadfast and sharp gaze, she looked flirtatiously at the man beside her.

“Baby, go to the banquet hall and wait for me over there. I’ll be there with you right away.”

The man nodded and left as Lana wished, but his gaze did not leave Madeline at all.

“Jeremy.” Madeline walked toward him and chased after him. “Jeremy, don’t go.”

“Don’t waste your time. He won’t care about you at all,” Lana smiled triumphantly and softly said to Madeline who passed by her, “Eveline, you’re right. He is your husband Jeremy. I was the one who ordered the shooting. I originally wanted to kill you, but I didn’t expect that he would give his life away and take the bullet for you.”

Madeline stopped abruptly, her heart throbbing painfully.

‘It turned out that the reason he suddenly ran behind me and hugged me was to save me.’

“I told you, Eveline. I always get what I want. Your husband is now my man. We’re very happy every night. His physical strength is really good. I haven’t felt so good in such a long time. Haha…”

Her words gave Madeline a splitting headache. She raised her hand quickly and slapped the complacent smile off of Lana’s face. “You b*tch!”

Madeline was trembling with anger. When she wanted to slap her for the second time, the man who had turned back suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist.
