Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

“I gave this to Vera,” Jackson said softly.

Jeremy looked at the little guy in front of him with a strange look on his face. “Did you put a chip in the bracelet?” he asked, but he did not get an answer.

Jackson stood up and looked at the lake. The peaceful surface of the lake was disrupted by the rain, and Jackson’s eyes were blank.

However, at this moment, Jeremy removed his coat and jumped into the lake without hesitation. He wanted to look for her…

Time passed and the sky was dark.

The rain had stopped and the search continued.

It was early fall, so the chilly night breeze attacked them both. When the breeze blew past their wet clothes, the coldness went straight into their bones.

It had been six hours since Vera fell, so Meredith knew she got this in the bag.

There were so many professional divers yet they still could not find Vera. She had to have met her demise.

Meredith was elated. She wanted to leave, but when she saw Jeremy still standing there, she felt perturbed.

She wanted to tell him to go home, but she did not dare to get close to him when he was like this.

When she looked at his cold eyes, she could feel a bone-chilling coldness.

However, after thinking about it, she still made the first move timidly.

“Jeremy, you’ve been in the rain this whole time and you’re drenched. You should go back first. If not, you’ll get sick.” Her voice was soft as she expressed her concern.

Jeremy turned a deaf ear. There were no emotions on his handsome face.

Meredith put on an act of a saint. “Jeremy, please believe me. I didn’t push Vera. She wanted to frame me, so she’s now suffering the consequences of her own actions.”

After she finished saying that, she saw Jeremy glaring at her.

“How is that possible?” Eloise denied. “Mer gave birth to Jack after carrying him for ten months. How could she do something like that? Jack, are you crazy? How can you slander your mother like this?”

Meredith cried aggrievedly. “Jack, why are you doing this to me? Why are you making up such lies to falsely accuse me?”

“The liar isn’t Jackson. It’s you, Meredith.”

In the night, a soft voice sounded all of a sudden.

Jeremy’s silent heart soared instantly. He lifted his eyebrows and saw a poised figure appearing in the quiet night.

“Vera!” he called out. His voice sounded like he had found something he lost.

Her beautiful face was reflected in his dark black eyes while his heart slowly found its initial rhythm.

Meredith lifted her frozen face in disbelief. Her legs almost gave out when she saw the owner of the voice getting closer and closer.

What shocked her the most was the person Vera was holding captive. When Meredith saw that person, she felt as if she was done for.
