Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Tanner was positively terrified, the color draining from his face as his pupils dilated from the fear.

“Go away, Madeline! Stop bothering me! I… I was just doing what I was paid to do!”

“Tanner Long!” Meredith immediately interrupted him and nervously called for the bodyguards. “Quickly, take this man away!”

Tanner pointed a trembling finger at Meredith, paying her words no heed.

“Madeline Crawford! If… If you want to haunt someone for revenge, then haunt her! It was all Meredith’s orders!”

With Tanner’s words, Meredith felt her body growing cold. Feeling a tyrannical storm of frost swirling around her, she could not imagine the expression Jeremy was wearing on his face.

“What’s happening? Who is this man? What does he mean?” Mrs. Whitman quickly rushed over to ask.

Meredith frantically tried to change the subject. “Mrs. Whitman! This is Tanner Long. He and Madeline used to be involved illicitly. They also planned Jack’s kidnapping together!”

“So it’s you!” Eloise glared furiously at Tanner. “You were the one who helped Madeline kidnap my grandchild! You b*stard! Madeline Crawford has already died for her sins, yet you’re still alive? You need to die!”

“Indeed.”

Jeremy’s icy tone froze Meredith’s breath in her lungs.

Now that he had sobered up, Tanner felt the need to flee. However, he felt something tighten around his neck.

“Repeat the words you just said.”

“…”

With that, Jeremy pulled Tanner by his tie and drilled his icy gaze into the man. All while reaching out to point a finger in Madeline’s direction. “You see that face? Tell me why you think she’s haunting you of all people.”

“…” Tanner had just sobered slightly when Jeremy spoke. However, all efforts were wasted as he followed the other’s hand to look at Madeline. His mind fogged as his legs grew weak.

It was hard to stand strong and good when you had done so much bad.

Staring at Madeline, his complexion paled as he began to beg for mercy. He blurted out the truth to distance himself.

“It’s got nothing to do with me! Really, it doesn’t! Yes, Madeline, I did something wrong, but I only wanted to sleep with you back then! Everything else was Meredith’s plan. She was the one who told me to lie! I never even touched you at all! Madeline, if you want revenge, get it from Meredith! She’s the one who pulled the strings!”
