Chapter 1639

Jeremy grabbed Madeline's hand tightly and firmly pushed her back into the car.

"Jeremy!"

"Linnie, go on ahead!" Jeremy said in a stern tone, "I won't let them come near you."

The determination on Jeremy's face made Madeline breathless.

The police officers and bodyguards stopped their cars. They strode up close toward Jeremy. The police in the lead showed Jeremy their work permits.

"Jeremy Whitman, your actions just now have violated the law of St. Piaf. You and Eveline Montgomery are under arrest in the name of the law. Let me make this clear, no matter what status you might hold in Glendale, this is St. Piaf!"

As the officer finished speaking, he approached to handcuff Jeremy.

Madeline slammed the car door and rushed to Jeremy's side at once. She gazed sternly at the police officers who wanted to arrest her and Jeremy.

"Running from the wedding was my idea. I instigated Jeremy. He didn't violate any of your laws in St. Piaf. I was the one who forced him to take me away."

Jeremy knew that Madeline was doing this for his sake, but he did not want to be the reason for her being charged with a heavier crime.

As he was about to step forward and take the blame, Madeline, however, lifted her beautiful eyes, using that subtle look to force Jeremy to give up on that idea.

"Arrest me. I'll come with you." Madeline voluntarily stretched out her hands, facing the handcuffs.

Watching this scene unfold made Jeremy feel as though his eyes were being pricked by needles, which was extraordinarily painful.

Years ago, he had already made her suffer such a serious and unwarranted disaster.

Now, he still could only standby and watch her getting impeached by others, feeling powerless.

Click.

The handcuffs were still secured around Madeline's hands in the end.

Jeremy felt like his heart constricted similarly. The pain was so unbearable that it was difficult to breathe.

"Jeremy, don't worry too much," Madeline said while looking at the police officers with a sober expression. She further emphasized, "I believe that the law in St. Piaf will prove my innocence." Jeremy wanted to try stopping her again, but seeing the calmness and determination on Madeline's face strangely made him feel more at ease.

He was worrying too much. She was no longer the Madeline she was back then.

"Jeremy Whitman, you must come with us to the police station as well. Contrary to what she'd said, the incident just now isn't something that could be easily dismissed," demanded the police.

In fact, Jeremy had intended to go with her. He did not want Madeline facing this alone.

After arriving at the police station, Jeremy considered listening to Madeline in pushing all the responsibility of escaping onto her, but he still could not bring himself to do it.

"My wife didn't instruct me to do anything. I wasn't going to let her be detained for dubious reasons." Jeremy told the truth. He then emphasized with a serious expression, "My wife did not take the initiative to commit bigamy. She was framed by someone."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Carter Gray."

The police officer who was taking notes paused suddenly, the pen still in his hand. Then, he inquired hastily.

"What? Are you saying that Carter Gray framed your wife for bigamy? Which Carter Gray?"
