Chapter 1080

Jeremy inched nearer to her and spat out cold comments. “In those cups of coffee that you used to drink every morning, as well as the glass of lukewarm milk I personally handed to you yesterday, I’ve added something special in all of them.”

“…”

“It’s the exact thing which you added in your cigarettes, as well as the stuff that I ate. The only difference is that I’ve added a larger portion.”

“What?!” Lana opened her eyes wide. “You… How did you get your hands on that?”

Jeremy’s gaze became sharp. “Have you forgotten what you asked Adam to prescribe to Eveline?”

“…” Lana started getting anxious after she heard that statement. “No, it’s impossible! If I had really consumed it, why am I not experiencing any side effects?!”

“Of course you won’t because I’ve changed your cigarettes as well.”

“…” Jeremy’s answer left Lana dumbfounded.

“From now onward, if you don’t smoke those cigarettes, you’ll then slowly start to experience the same thing I went through previously till the day you meet your death.

“Lana, Fabian was right about you. You’re a woman who thinks so highly of herself. Because of you, you’ve destroyed the entire Stygian Johnson Gang.”

Lana’s expression went pale as a sheet, and she suddenly lost all her strength and became helpless.

She had been too careless.

She overestimated her abilities and even underestimated Jeremy’s abilities.

She dug her own grave, as well as paid the price with the entire Stygian Johnson Gang.

Lana was anxious. She stared at Jeremy’s silhouette spinning around elegantly. She dragged along the handcuffs that were connected to the bed, yelling, “Don’t leave, Jeremy! If I’m dead, you’ll never know the truth behind your parents-in-law’s deaths!”

Jeremy came to a halt and spoke without turning around, “For now, I’m not interested to know the truth.

All I want is for you to be dead.”

“…”

…

At Glendale airport.

Madeline got down from her car in the parking lot and bumped into Daniel who was hurriedly getting down from the car.

“There’s still another ten minutes. Ava will be checking-in,” said Madeline while rushing to the departure lounge with Daniel.

Thinking back to what Ava said last night, Madeline was curious and asked, “Hey Dan, the day I married Rye, I asked you to send Ava back home. Did something happen that night?”

Her question made his stunning face turn pink.

Madeline was confident that Daniel was somehow related to what Ava said about having intimacy after she got drunk.

‘But Ava seemed to not take it that way?’

Madeline was deep in her thoughts. Seeing that Daniel was all nervous, she pestered, “Dan, do you wish that Ava will continue staying in Glendale?”

“Of course,” Daniel seemed to answer without thinking twice.

Madeline let out a breath of relief. “I’m glad to hear that. Ava will never leave, then.”

Daniel came to a halt, puzzled. He looked at Madeline who had a faint smile on her face. “Why?”

“I guess I’ll leave it to Ava to answer that,” Madeline replied with a smile. Soon, her phone rang.

Madeline looked at the unfamiliar incoming call. She was astonished but still picked up.

“Miss Montgomery, I’m calling from Glendale Advanced Laboratory.” Madeline slowly stopped her footsteps. She beckoned to Daniel, asking him to go ahead and search for Ava.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Eveline Montgomery. Please continue.” Madeline started feeling nervous suddenly without her realizing it.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Montgomery. So, here’s the deal. We’ve got the results for the unidentified sample on the sample note you brought that day. It’s human blood.”

“It’s blood?” Madeline found herself astonished, not forgetting the note had Jeremy’s scent. “But how can blood be that color?”
