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.”
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 Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
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!”
