Chapter 855

He was still trying to gradually force this woman to admit her identity, but unbeknownst to him, she was exposing herself without even hesitating.

As he looked at the charming and seductive face in front of him, he could not help but think about the sweet and lovely face from his memory.

Felipe felt as if his heart had been sliced by an invisible knife. He reached out his hand to grab Cathy’s wrist, pulling her toward him.

“What’s wrong with your face? Why did you undergo plastic surgery? Just so you can pretend to be a stranger in front of me?”

His tone was cold, and his eyes looked overbearing.

However, there was no fear in Cathy’s eyes anymore. On the other hand, she curled her lips into a smirk of disdain.

“Mr. Whitman, you think too highly of yourself. I got plastic surgery because I was disfigured by someone.”

Felipe’s pupils constricted as rage appeared under his eyes. “What did you say? You were disfigured?

Who did that?”

“I don’t know who they were, but I know you were the one who caused me to be disfigured.”

‘Me?’

Felipe was stunned.

Suddenly, he realized Cathy might have encountered something even more terrible than falling into the water after she jumped into the river.

When he wanted to ask, Cathy escaped from his grip and walked away.

Felipe grabbed her. “Why are you staying with Jeremy?”

“It’s none of your business.” Cathy’s tone was calm. She did not have the same admiration in her eyes for Felipe as she had before.

She removed her hand from his and walked away without turning back.

Felipe’s hand was suspended in mid-air. He could not accept Cathy’s attitude toward him now.

He was used to her being good to him, appearing in front of him so cheerfully and full of energy.

He was even used to her illicit feelings for him.

However, in this second, he felt as if the thing that should belong to him had been taken away from him.

This person who took everything away from him was Jeremy.

…

Jeremy woke up in the evening the next day.

His wound had broken open again, so his condition became worse.

However, the physical pain was nothing compared to the concern and longing he had for Madeline.

He wanted to contact Madeline, but when he turned his head, he saw Cathy deep in thought.

“Why did you come to F Country all of a sudden?” he asked.

Cathy came back to her senses. “Ken told me. I was worried about you, so I came.”

“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll find out who you are?”

Cathy laughed. “He knows.”

Jeremy’s expression changed, but then he saw the calm look on Cathy’s face. “What are you going to do next?”

“Ken showed me the video. I really didn’t expect him to be doing something illegal.” Cathy lowered her gaze in disappointment and loss. “However, I won’t let him sink further into this mess.”

“Do you still love him?” Jeremy felt sorry for Cathy.

Cathy smiled widely. “Evie has never let you go as well, has she?”

When Jeremy heard this, he felt warmth rising in his chest.

When he remembered Madeline pointing her gun at Felipe so domineeringly just to protect him, he felt his heart racing.

‘Linnie.’

He quietly called out Madeline’s name in his heart and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
