Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825

Madeline carried Lillian into the house, but since she had another child in her stomach, she did not carry her for too long. Then, she kissed her on the cheek. “Lily, I’ll make some muffins for you now. Can you come and help me?”

“Okay!”

The little girl blinked her crystal-like eyes and followed Madeline into the kitchen.

Jeremy watched from inside his car that was a distance away, looking at Madeline holding a child before walking into the house.

He also saw the sincere smile on Madeline’s face.

When had she ever smiled at him like that?

Jeremy clenched his fingers around the steering wheel as the fire in his eyes burned brightly.

“I guess I was just overthinking. I had believed myself as infallible when reality has proven to me otherwise. The man you love right now is really him.”

Buzz, buzz.

When Jeremy’s phone rang, he answered it without hesitating.

His assistant, Ken, could be heard talking from the other end. “Mr. Whitman, I just got the news that Felipe’s at the warehouse on Third Street. It seems like he’s handing some goods to someone.”

“Watch him closely. I’ll go over now.” Jeremy hung up the phone and looked at the villa that was in a distance with a sharp gaze. Then, he turned his steering wheel.

Felipe hurried to the warehouse to check the goods.

“Mr. Whitman, the Stygian Johnsons are getting more and more out of hand. They want to take over the trade in the black market as well. I think we have to show them who’s boss,” a thug named Dice said in agitation.

“Yeah, they even asked someone to check the source of your goods. When you were back in Glendale with Miss Eveline, they snatched our business in South America and caused us to lose 50 million dollars!”

“Mr. Whitman, we can’t allow them to just do things their way. Don’t go back to Glendale for the time being as you have to stay here and keep watch. You’re the only one who can keep them under control.”

After Felipe heard that, he took out a gun from the box and gave it a glance. Then, he said calmly, “Check these goods properly and ask more people to keep watch of this warehouse.”

His aim was precise and Ken’s calf was hit. Blood started pouring out from his wound.

However, Ken did not give in. He continued running while enduring the pain. Felipe pulled the trigger once again with an icy expression on his face.

At this moment, a car appeared at the end of the alley and the door to the passenger seat quickly opened. Without wasting any more time, Ken jumped in.

Bang!

Felipe’s bullet hit the door, and in the next second, the car disappeared in front of him.

In that instant, he vaguely saw a familiar face.

Felipe curled his lips into a nonchalant smirk. “It’s you.”

“Mr. Whitman, it must be the Stygian Johnsons! I’ll bring our men to smash their place!” Dice roared angrily.

Felipe scoffed and threw his gun back. “I’ll take care of this later. Just do your jobs properly and don’t give me more trouble.”
