Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 75

It was already dark, and Madeline helped the drunk Ava into the cab.

When she turned around, she was surprised to see Jeremy standing at the front door.

He leaned against his car lazily. One of his hands was in his pocket while the other was holding a

cigarette. The end of the cigarette was lit up before it gradually dimmed in the night. He looked pretty

lonesome.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know whether she was nervous. She wanted to stay away

from Jeremy, but the man had already seen her.

His cold gaze landed on Madeline. “Get in.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He was always commanding her, never giving Madeline the chance to choose.

Madeline calmly averted her gaze from him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman. We should talk tomorrow. It’s late

now.”

Jeremy frowned. He stood in front of Madeline in frustration. “I asked you to get in.”

“Who’s that? Why is it so noisy?” Something was blocking her way, so Ava lifted her head while in a

drunken state. She looked at Jeremy for a while and suddenly, she burst out laughing. “I was

wondering who it is. It’s just you, you scumbag.”

After she said that, Madeline could feel Jeremy’s agitation.

She was worried that Jeremy would let his anger out on Ava, so she quickly smoothed things over.

“Ava, you’re drunk. I’ll take you to bed.”

“I’m not drunk! And I didn’t get the wrong person too! He’s that scumbag, Jeremy Whitman!” Ava

pointed at Jeremy angrily. His face was icy now. “Why are you here? What were you doing when

Maddie was suffering? You only know how to hold that mistress of yours!” Ava yelled at Jeremy. Her

voice was exceptionally loud in the middle of the night.

Madeline was frantic. If Jeremy was infuriated, then Ava would also suffer in Glendale.

“Ava, stop talking. Let’s go.”

Madeline dragged Ava to the door. However, a drunk person was extremely heavy. Madeline could not

move Ava despite using all of her might.

Madeline said to Jeremy quickly after she saw his face turning green from anger, “Jeremy, I’ll go with

you. However, you can’t get mad at Ava. She’s drunk and she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

“I think she’s very sober.” Jeremy glared at Ava with a fake smile on his face.

“Jeremy, you won’t cause trouble for a woman who doesn’t know what she’s saying when she’s drunk if

you’re a man.” Madeline was worried.

Jeremy chuckled and let out a ring of smoke. “It’ll be as easy as killing an ant if I want to kill her.”

Madeline knew Jeremy had this ability, but Ava was very drunk now. She looked at Jeremy without

showing her weakness. She kept on spewing words to fight for justice on behalf of Madeline.

“C-come and kill me then! Burp.

“Jeremy Whitman, you’re just a scumbag! Other than that, you’re a blind scumbag!”

“Ava, stop talking!” Madeline could feel beads of cold sweat on her forehead. Jeremy’s face was

extremely dark. A storm was about to come at any time.

“Why not? I’ve been hiding these things in my heart for a very long time! I want to say them out today!”

Ava was drunk and being as stubborn as a cow. Not only did she ignore what Madeline said, she even

wanted to fight Jeremy head-on.

“Jeremy, I say that you’re not worthy of Maddie! She’s so beautiful and talented. Most importantly, she

only has you in her heart. She’s been waiting for you for so many years and she has kept the promise

between you two. What about you? What did you do to her?

“Maddie suffered so much before she could finally start a new life. She even has a new job now and

you want to meddle in her life again. Who do you think you are? Do you think no one wants Maddie?

Let me tell you, there are hundreds of men waiting to take Maddie’s hand even if you don’t want her!”
