Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1637

Chapter 1637

The police's sudden appearance stopped Madeline and Jeremy in their tracks.

Ada saw this and immediately ran to the police. "She's Eveline Montgomery!" Ada yelled while pointing at Madeline.

Several police officers focused on Madeline. "Are you Eveline Montgomery?" one of them asked.

Jeremy, eyebrows furrowed, subconsciously stepped in front of Madeline to shield her.

However, Madeline pulled Jeremy's hand away lightly and walked nobly toward the officers. "Yes, I am Eveline Montgomery."

The officers studied Madeline. "Is it true that you have a marriage contract with two men at the same time?"

"Yes! She is!" Ada emphasized loudly. Then, she pointed at Jeremy. "This man is her husband, but she signed a marriage contract with Mr. Gray while she is still married to her husband."

After hearing that, the officers looked at Carter who was standing a short distance away. Almost everyone in St. Piaf knew Carter Gray.

Talented and handsome, he not only possessed outstanding skills but also has an extraordinary background and social status.

Despite this, the officers still proceeded with their standard questions. "Mr. Gray, are you aware that Miss Eveline Montgomery signed the marriage certificate with you when she's still wedded to another man?" Carter looked coldly at Madeline and shook his head calmly. "This is news to me too. I didn't realize that she was already married."

Madeline was not surprised to hear this kind of answer. She saw through him and knew his true personality.

She also knew that even if she pointed out that this was a trap set by Carter, no one else would believe her aside from Jeremy.

"Eveline, this is St. Piaf. You are hereby under arrest for committing bigamy. You will then be prosecuted in court. Once you are convicted of the crime, you will receive a severe punishment."

The officers moved to handcuff Madeline as they spoke. The sight of handcuffs brought Jeremy back to the scene many years ago.

He could not stand by and watch Madeline getting taken away by someone this way. Not again.

He could not let it happen no matter what!

Jeremy grabbed Madeline's hand, his eyes as cold as ice, and firmly led her through the crowd.

"They're running away! Get them!" The officers quickly chased after them.

Ada was completely baffled. "Are they throwing away their lives, running off like that? Heh, does he think he's still in Glendale?" Carter looked in the direction where Jeremy took Madeline. He glanced sideways at his bodyguard, signaling them to give chase. The bodyguards promptly understood what Carter meant. They immediately followed the police, chasing after Madeline and Jeremy. Madeline followed Jeremy out of the gates of Gray Manor. She looked behind her and saw the police and bodyguards on their tails. "Jeremy, we can't do this. I have to go with them. I was framed by Carter and I can appeal," said Madeline as she tried to convince Jeremy to let her go.

However, Jeremy gripped her hand even tighter. "No, Linnie, I can't! I can't do what I did before. I knew you're being framed and yet I still watched as you were sent to a place like that! I can't do it!" "Jeremy..."

Madeline felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes. She could understand and comprehend how Jeremy was feeling right now.

"Stop!" The police were catching up to them.

Jeremy gave them a cold and stern gaze. Then, he pulled Madeline into the car he rented, and then slammed down on the accelerator. Through the car window, Madeline saw that the police and bodyguards were planning to chase after them in their cars as well.

However, before the car got any further, Madeline heard Jeremy letting out a grunt of pain.
