Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1643

Chapter 1643

The police station.

Even though Jeremy's behavior obstructed the police officers' duty, the circumstances were not considered that bad, so he managed to quickly bail himself out.

However, he stood in front of the police station door, his steps slowed, and he was unable to take another step.

Madeline was still inside. There was a high chance that she would be charged with bigamy.

"Linnie."

Jeremy clenched his fingers, and a firm conviction emerged deep within his eyes.

"I'll make sure you'll reach home safely. Wait for me."

He gave his promise. He also believed that Madeline could sense his feelings.

A few moments after Jeremy had left, a luxurious car gradually stopped in front of the main entrance.

Camille grabbed her bag and gracefully got out of the car.

Madeline just finished with her statement and was following the officer out of the interrogation room. As she reached the door, to her surprise, she saw Camille walking toward her.

The police officer leading Camille was very courteous. He motioned to a junior police officer to take Madeline back to the interrogation room again.

Camille and Madeline met eyes. When she saw the handcuffs on Madeline's wrists, Camille gave the police officer next to her a look.

The police officer quickly understood. He asked the officer next to him to remove the handcuffs.

Madeline naturally felt much more at ease without the restraints.

"I have something to discuss with Miss Montgomery. Could I trouble you two to wait outside for a moment?" Camille spoke very politely, but her tone sounded more like a demand and a command. The police officer understood what Camille meant and left the interrogation room with the junior officer.

Camille looked at Madeline and pointed at the chair in front of her. "Come, let's sit down and chat."

Madeline could tell that Camille's words had power here. Moreover, Camille was able to make them remove her handcuffs. This was not something someone with a normal status could do. "Thank you," Madeline expressed her gratitude and sat in the chair in front of Camille.

"You don't need to thank me. I just wanted to return the favor." Camille's tone was flat, and her face looked calm.

Madeline understood quickly. "Favor? You're referring to the time I prevented you from eating peanuts?"

"Yes." Camille nodded gently. "You might not know that I have a severe allergic reaction to peanuts," she explained. "It almost took my life ten years ago. I dare not imagine what would happen if it flared up again. That's why I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

When Madeline heard this, she was slightly stunned.

"Since you'd helped me once, I'll help you this time too," Camille promised Madeline.

"Are you willing to go against your son to repay this favor?" Camille's answer caused Madeline to hesitate slightly. "Even if you genuinely want to help me, Carter won't agree to this."

"He has no say in this." Camille's sudden answer was abnormally loud. Even her expression looked magnanimous and honest. "Carter is the one at fault, whether we look at things logically or emotionally. Don't you worry. I, Camille Abbot, am a woman of my words."

A sense of admiration spontaneously rose from her heart then.

Ever since the day Camille took the initiative to replace her to apologize, Madeline had felt that Camille was a woman who knew right from wrong. This time, though, she could see that Camille was brimming with an even brighter positive energy.

"Miss Montgomery, tell me, in detail, everything that has occurred from the time you met Carter until today. The more thorough, the better," Camille enquired about the details.

Madeline did not hold back. She told Camille the entire thing, beginning from her first encounter with Carter and everything that came after, in every detail.

After Camille finished listening, she pondered for a while. Then, she got up and walked toward the door of the interrogation room.
