Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

After Tanner said that, Madeline's shirt was ripped open.

Madeline was in so much pain that she did not have the energy to struggle. When she thought Tanner was about to get away with this, the door was kicked open with a loud thud.

The door tilted to one side before falling on the floor.

Madeline turned her head and saw Jeremy's handsome yet terrifying face that looked similar to that of Satan's.

When her eyes met his sinister and treacherous gaze, she shivered.

Jeremy strode over and pulled Tanner, who was pressing on top of Madeline, away.

"How dare you kidnap my son? Are you tired of living?"

He punched Tanner heavily on the side of his face, making Tanner wail in pain. One of his teeth fell out and blood started pouring from his mouth. Jeremy kicked Tanner to the corner of the wall, and in that instant, Tanner could not get up from the pain.

Madeline fell on the floor limply. She tried to cover her naked body with her tattered clothes.

Jeremy glanced at her in disgust. "Madeline, you're even more depraved than before."

He looked at her in repulsion before walking to the room inside the house.

After a while, he carried the sleeping Jackson out from the room.

When Madeline saw that Jackson was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief. However, Jeremy still looked at her with a murderous gaze. She immediately felt uneasy again.

She looked at him pleadingly to try to gain his trust. "Jeremy, this has nothing to do with me..."

The man chuckled coldly, his voice sounding sinister. "Madeline, do you think I'm blind or deaf? You deserve to die."

After he said that, he turned around with Jackson.

Madeline got up from the floor while her entire body felt cold. Then, she ran to the side of the car.

The rain fell on her battered and bruised body. The searing pain started to spread to every inch of her body.

"Jeremy, this is Meredith and Tanner's trap! They knew each other from a long time ago! They've even dated before. Meredith had two abortions because of Tanner! Jeremy, I'm telling you the truth! I never did anything immoral! They're working together to frame me!"

Her hands were on the half-opened window as she kept emphasizing. Her pale face made her eyes look even redder.

She so desperately wanted to gain his trust, even just a little bit. A little bit would be fine.

However, Jeremy did not even look at her. He only peered at her from the corner of his eyes.

"What did Mer do to get a sister like you?"

His words were laced with trust and protection for Meredith. In addition to that, he only had utter despise for Madeline.

"If it isn't for Mer, can you even live until this day? Someone like you should have died a long time ago."

His words pierced her heart.

Her hands that were holding the window slowly lost their energy.

"Jeremy, am I so untrustworthy in your heart? If that's the case, why did you make that promise to me that back then?" she yelled at him while on the brink of an emotional breakdown. Jeremy frowned and turned his face in confusion. He scoffed as he looked at Madeline's pale face.

"Go to the doctor if you're sick. There's no back then between you and me. I only made a promise to one girl in my life, and her name is Meredith Crawford."

After he said that, he rolled up the window.

His handsome side profile gradually became blurry in Madeline's vision.

She collapsed onto the mud as if she had become corrupted. She allowed the wind and rain to have their ways with her.

The wounds on her flesh were not as heart-wrenching and bone-chilling as the words he said before he left.

The beautiful encounter that she had in her memory and the promise that he told her when he held her hand as they walked along the beach all dimmed and decayed at this exact moment.
