Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

“Don’t do it! Jeremy!” Madeline shouted, but Jeremy ignored her.

She stared as he raised his hand, tossing that important earring right into the lake. Madeline’s heart froze, she had no more cards to play.

However, the heavens really might be helping her. There was a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the earring did not fall in, instead landing on the ice!

Jeremy was obviously very unhappy. He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to think of what to do when Madeline ran across like the wind.

He stared in disbelief as Madeline suddenly ran like crazy toward the lake, just to retrieve that earring.

The thin ice was quite a distance from the shores, and Madeline could not reach it. She tried to find a tree branch to hook the earring over, but she was afraid she would accidentally push the earring into the lake.

Seeing that, Jeremy walked to her side, pulling Madeline up.

“Madeline, what are you doing?”

“Mr. Whitman, can’t you see? I’m trying to retrieve some evidence, evidence that Meredith was the true killer!”

Jeremy’s face was somber. “What sort of nonsense are you talking about, what does Brittany’s death have to do with Mer?”

He protected Meredith as usual, pulling Madeline over. “Come back with me.”

“I won’t!” Madeline pushed him away with all her might, her gaze conflicted. “Jeremy, don’t touch me again! You disgust me!”

“What did you say?” the man’s face darkened again.
