Chapter 967

Lana’s face fell. “Eveline, is this your son?”

Madeline quickly pulled Jackson behind her as she was scared that Lana would take action against him. “Jack, go back and stay with Lily. Don’t come out.”

Jackson frowned. “But Mommy…”

“Listen to me. Go in now.”

“Okay.” Jackson nodded and looked at Jeremy who had his eyes on him. “Daddy, when are you coming home? Lily and I miss you,” the little guy added before looking at Jeremy reluctantly and going back.

Jeremy looked blankly at the little boy who left. Suddenly, he felt dispirited for no reason.

However, his gaze went back to Madeline almost instantly.

It was evident that she had cried before. However, since she was born beautiful, she was still stunning even though she was not in the best state.

Lana did not notice Jeremy staring at Madeline and only fixed her hair in agitation.

“Eveline, your son is just like you. Both of you just love looking for trouble and asking for death!”

Her statement was filled with hints and warnings.

“All of the people who dared to go against me have disappeared from the face of the earth. Eveline, if you don’t want your son to end up like your parents, kneel and apologize to me and my friend Naomi in front of Whitman Corporation tomorrow. If not…”

Lana’s eyes looked vicious as she got close to Madeline’s ear and murmured, “If not, you’ll see your son dying in the hands of the man you love.”

She threatened, her smirk becoming cockier and cockier.

When she turned around, she called out to Jeremy, “Hans, Miss Montgomery is so sad right now. Since you look like her husband, you should comfort her. I’ll be waiting in the car.”

Lana walked away while feeling pleased with herself as she puffed on her cigarette.

After Lana left, Karen hurried over to talk to Jeremy. However, Jeremy ignored Karen and walked straight over to Madeline.

“If you don’t want people around you to get hurt, show up on time tomorrow to apologize.” His voice was icy, and it was clear that he was siding with Lana.

Madeline looked at Jeremy with no warmth in her eyes. “Get lost.”

“Eveline, stop asking for trouble.”

Madeline’s expression remained unchanged as she added coldly, “Go back to your deranged woman and get out of my sight.”

Jeremy frowned. “You’re so stubborn.”

“You’re right. I am very stubborn. I chose you because I was stupid. I should’ve cut all ties with you so at least my parents wouldn’t have died in the fire!”

Madeline scoffed in self-mockery, hatred oozing off her charming eyes.

“Get out now. Take your woman and go!”

Jeremy did not say anything when he saw Madeline being so firm with her decision. Therefore, he turned around and left.

Karen chased after him. “Jeremy, I’m asking you now. Did you really set fire to Montgomery Manor?”

Jeremy replied impatiently, “Stop making me repeat myself. I’m not your son.”

“You are my son!” Karen replied firmly, “Eveline also came back with a different name back then, so I don’t believe there’ll be two people who look exactly the same in this world. You’re my son!”

Jeremy did not want to explain to Karen anymore, so he got into the car and drove away.

However, he still had Madeline’s cold gaze and words replaying in his head.

“What are you thinking about?” Lana asked when she saw Jeremy staying silent.

Jeremy lifted his head. “Did you set the house on fire?”

“Dummy, why would I do that? Did you forget that you’re the one who did that?” Lana’s gaze was amorous. “Hans, are you feeling sorry for Eveline? Did you forget how she slapped me in front of you? I have to make her pay for it, no?”

“You didn’t have to kill her parents.”
