Chapter 752
Just then, the man who was chasing them appeared before them.
Realizing this, Madeline took Jeremy’s hand and turned again. “Let’s leave.”
Jeremy followed decisively, but his height and ethereal appearance made it easy for him to be picked out from the crowd. The man chased after them.
Without hesitation, Madeline pulled Jeremy onto a tourist bus that was passing by.
By the time the group chased over, the bus had begun to move.
They were temporarily safe.
Madeline let out a sigh of relief. The bus jostled, and with a hand holding the bouquet, she felt herself fall before she could grab the railing.
She had not fallen, though, as Jeremy managed to catch her by the waist.
She found herself being held in his broad chest as his long arms came to settle around her waist. It all felt so natural.
As far as others were concerned, the two looked the epitome of a sickly-sweet couple.
“Out of the two groups that chased after us, is there anyone you recognize?” Jeremy whispered.
Madeline shook her head. “None.”
Jeremy looked deep in thought. “They might be Felipe’s men. There’s no way he wouldn’t know that we’ve come to F Country, and if he had indeed played a part in Lillian’s end, then there’s no way he wouldn’t stop us from further investigating the matter.”

The man seemed to have noticed their car as he was slowly making his way toward them with a suspicious look on his face.
Madeline quickly explained, “This manor is under Felipe’s name, and since it’s in a rather rural place, it’s rare to have people stop here. I recognize him. He’s one of Felipe’s bodyguards. I think he might have noticed us.”
Jeremy immediately unclasped his seatbelt.
Thinking that he was about to alight the car, Madeline placed her hand over his.
“The manor was guarded by these bodyguards all the time over the past three years I lived here. We can’t fight them head-on, nor can we be found because these people recognize me.”
The bodyguard was almost at the car when Madeline was done speaking.
Madeline was wracking her brain for a plan to not be seen when Jeremy suddenly leaned over to scoot his attractive features before her. He cupped her cheek and leaned down for a kiss.
