The Queen's Back

Chapter 173

Jane paused, then cried out, "Just like Mona said, Emmie's car was regularly maintained. How could the brakes suddenly fail? It must have been Jeremy.

"To avoid divorcing Emmie and to get his hands on the Clem Group, he did something so evil. How is someone like that still alive? Why hasn't he gone to hell where he belongs?

"My poor Emmie, my sweet Emmic, gone just like that. She never got to truly enjoy life!"

As Jane spoke, tears streamed down her face. Seeing Emily's phone unleashed the deep sorrow Jane had suppressed for a long time.

Even Bernard, the tough businessman he was to the world, could not help but wipe his eyes. Emily had suffered far too much in her life.

It was Jeremy who caused Emily so much pain. As her father, Bernard could not stand by without avenging her.

Not only did Jeremy nearly kill Bernard, but he also cost Emily's life. Even if he was not the one who tampered with the brakes, he had asked her to meet. If not for that, Emily would not have gone out so late at night. If she had not, everything would have been different. Bernard handed Jane a tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He comforted, "Once you're done crying, let's try not to dwell on it and live happily. If Emmie were still here, she would not want to see you this way, And as for Jeremy, I swear he'll pay for what he did to Emmic

"He will. Nathontown is completely locked down now. There's no way Jeremy can escape. He'll pay for everything he's done. Mona said resolutely.

"Yes, Mona is right. Jeremy won't be able to escape," Maxwell added.

In addition to the police search, Maxwell also had his men out looking for Jeremy, hidden in every corner of Nathontown.

Just as Maxwell finished speaking, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Nigel [Someone spotted Jeremy at the Nathontown bus terminal]

Attached was a photo showing Jeremy in a black leather jacket and a baseball cap, with only his eyes visible. But on closer inspection, his features were still recognizable.

Maxwell replied: [Keep tracking his every move. I'll inform the police.)
