Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 968

Chapter 968

“Who asked her parents to do a background check on me?” Lana was not bothered. For her, money and power were far more valuable than human life.

“Hans, Eveline is pretty good-looking. Could it be that you’re falling for her?” Lana asked while moving closer to Jeremy.

“How can a dull woman like her compare to me? She’s only good-looking, but beauty is not everything.”

Lana trusted her charm. When she saw Jeremy staying silent, she smiled to flatter him.

“Hans, are you blaming me for going too far? You have to understand that we can’t let people find out about the Stygian Johnsons’ background. If not, we’ll get into trouble. You don’t want anything to happen to me, right?”

Jeremy smiled superficially after he heard that. “Of course not.”

“I knew you wouldn’t.” Lana smiled bashfully as she tried to get close to Jeremy to get a kiss. However, Jeremy asked the driver to stop driving all of a sudden.

“Hans, where are you going?”

Jeremy’s eyes were cold as he said, “I think I’m going too easy on Eveline. I need to go back for a bit.”

Lana’s eyes lit up. “Hans, what do you want to do to her?”

“I want her to feel even more pain.”

Even more pain?

Lana was delighted with this answer.

However, after Jeremy got out of the car, he did not go to look for Madeline. On the contrary, he went to Montgomery Manor that had been burned to the ground.

He felt an odd sense of familiarity when he looked at the ground.

He felt as if he had been here before.

He walked into the door, and the burnt smell was still as strong.

Jeremy wanted to avoid her and keep moving, but she was walking straight toward him.

Madeline turned around when she heard noises, and when she saw Jeremy’s tall, slender frame, her eyes became stern. “What are you doing here? Do you want to destroy the evidence of you setting the fire?”

Jeremy was unperturbed. “If I were the one behind it, then I wouldn’t be here.”

“Heh, sure. You have a woman to wipe your butt for you, so of course you can do whatever you want.” Madeline mocked. “This is my home. Even if it has turned into nothing, I won’t allow a cold-blooded murderer like you to step foot inside. Get out.”

Jeremy’s eyes became sharp, and there was a flash of dominance in his eyes. He walked over to Madeline. “I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me. Not even you.”

He reached out his hand to pull Madeline to him. “I told you, a strong woman will only trigger a man’s dominance. Eveline, it looks like you’ve already elicited my interest toward you.”

He pretended to kiss her, but Madeline fought back with all her might. “Don’t touch me, you b*stard!”

However, Jeremy did not let go. While they were fighting, he ripped apart Madeline’s shirt.

Her delicate collarbone and round shoulders entered his vision. However, he did not notice those things. When he saw the faded shell pendant around Madeline’s neck and above her heaving chest, he felt as if his spirit had left his body.
