Madeline grabbed the set of clean clothes on the sofa before quickly turning around and running upstairs. She found a room with no one inside and changed her top in a hurry. After that, she locked the door and observed the surroundings.She was not familiar with this place at all, and she did not know if Jeremy could find it.The longer she stayed here, the bigger the crisis she would be in.The current Ryan was not the elegant, profound, modest, and polite gentleman from the beginning.He was now a demon. He was a violent, cold-blooded, and cruel demon.âŠIt was already eight o'clock in the evening.The police and Interpol were in Whitman Manor discussing plans to rescue Madeline.Lillian was still snuggling in Jeremy's arms at this moment. It was probably because she had never received genuine and true love from her father.She could speak now, but the only word she could say and know how to say was âDaddyâ.âI still haven't found the whereabouts of Ryan Jones and Mrs. Whit
Looking at the syringe as it slowly stretched toward her, Madeline struggled with all of her might.She lifted her leg and kicked the man who was holding her fiercely.The man was caught off guard and successfully kicked away by Madeline.Madeline took advantage of this to break free and ran toward the door of the room. Ryan's eyes darkened as he strode forward to grab Madeline's waist.âRyan, you lunatic! Let go of me!ââIf I let you go, itâll mean that Jeremy has won. Do you think Iâll still let you go?â Ryan's voice rang behind Madeline's ears slowly.She raised her sharp yet beautiful eyes. âRyan, Iâm telling you now that even if you give me the injection and control me, Iâll just be a puppet. Iâll never be moved by a man like you. The only man Eveline Montgomery will ever love in her life is Jeremy Whitman!âWhile listening to Madeline's stubborn and powerful words, Ryan frowned deeply.He did not say anything anymore and tightly held Madeline's chin with the palm of his h
âYouâre awake.â Ryan's low voice rang in her ears like a nightmare.Madeline looked over and saw Ryan sitting beside her while sipping on his coffee. He was looking at her leisurely.He did not look like a wanted criminal right now. He looked extremely carefree in this posture.When Madeline was about to move, she realized that her hands were tied to the sides of the chair.She looked sideways, catching a glimpse of the clear blue sky and white clouds outside.Were they in the air?She was on a plane!Madeline gritted her teeth and looked at the carefree man with hatred.âRyan, where are you taking me?"âTo our house,â Ryan replied without raising his head.Madeline glanced at him coldly. âStop the wishful thinking. I never liked you.ââYou can't erase the fact that youâre my wife on our marriage certificate regardless of whether you like me or not.â Ryan raised his head and smiled from the bottom of his eyes. âWeâre lawfully wedded no matter where we go.âMadeline could no
Jeremy jumped up from the sofa abruptly. âWhere is she?ââI just found out that Ryan has a private jet. He boarded the plane last night and left Glendale!ââWhere is that plane's landing site?â Jeremy asked anxiously.âI don't know for the time being.â The man shook his head, but soon, he gave Jeremy hope. âHowever, the radar can detect that the plane is still in flight currently.âJeremy's gloomy eyes gradually brightened, the light in them apparent.He returned to Whitman Manor to hastily tidy up his appearance and change his clothes.While on his way out, Jackson and Lillian followed behind him.âDaddy, have you not found Mommy yet?â Jackson asked uneasily.Jeremy squatted. He stroked the comely and cute little faces in front of him, giving them a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze.âJack, take good care of your sister. Daddy will definitely bring Mommy home.âJackson nodded, but his small brows were tightly furrowed.Jeremy could see that his son was still worri
"Go serve Madam to get clean up and change her clothes," he ordered.The two maids answered simultaneously, "Yes, Master."Ryan then saw Madeline glaring at him before turning around.The two maids strolled to Madeline and were friendly when helping her change into a new set of clothes. They helped her get clean up as well.Madeline wanted to reject but failed to do so. She knew it was because she had been injected with two doses of that stuff that it was now affecting her.After Ryan left the room, a young lady quickly ran over to him with a bashful look that was filled with anticipation. "Rye, Iâm guessing you have some time to spare right now, right? Can we talk?"Ryan sneered at the lady in front of him and made his way downstairs lazily.He looked at the news that popped out on his phone carefreely. He read that the police in Glendale and Interpol were searching for his whereabouts.However, he would not let them get him so easily.Ryan tossed his phone aside and raised h
Ryan's heart was pumping hard when he saw the maid being all anxious.He was worried that something might have happened to Madeline. He shoved Naomi's hand away and sprinted to the bedroom.However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, there was a loud bang and a vase was suddenly smashed beside his leg.Slivers of the broken vase pieces almost had slit his face, but Ryan did not dodge.He stepped right on the pieces of the broken vase and walked into the room.Madeline was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The dishes served by the maids were all scattered on the floor while fresh blood was dripping down beside Madeline's leg. The blood came from her finger.Nevertheless, she did not move an inch and kept standing under the blazing sunlight of summer like a noble statue."Get out," Ryan ordered both the maids.Despite him blurting out icy cold comments, he had a warm expression on her face. It was rather contradicting.The maids did not delay any further and quickly ran o
Madeline raised her gaze when she heard Ryan's comment and saw the gleam in his sparkling eyes that were expressing his urge to conquer her.'Heâs really stubborn.'Suddenly, Ryan grabbed Madeline's finger that was bleeding.She tried to pull back, not wanting Ryan to grasp her hand too tightly. He then lowered his head and sealed his lips over her injury that was still bleeding, as if he was trying to tend to her injury."What are you doing?" Madeline was feeling restless as she summoned her remaining strength to push Ryan aside.Ryan gently licked his lip that had bloodstain. The taste of the fresh blood from her fingertip placed a satisfactory smile on his fair face, making him look almost devilish.Madeline had never seen such a smile and it gave her chills throughout her body.Ryanâs smile got wider when he noticed the fear in her eyes."I thought that you're fearless, but it turns out there are times when you're afraid as well." He inched closer to her, and each step that
After Ryan left, Madeline was left alone in the room.The maids came in once again and delivered the first aid kit and a splendid meal of western cuisine.Madeline looked at her finger which was still bleeding. She knew that she possessed a rare blood group and did not want to continue bleeding."Let me help you, Madam." The young maid was very friendly and came over politely, hoping to offer Madeline a helping hand.Madeline realized she had acted rashly earlier after recalling the incident. She should remain calm as that was the only way to escape from Ryanâs grasp."Alright." Madeline nodded. "Sorry for troubling you with this."The maid happily went ahead and helped Madeline dress her wound after noticing that Madeline was not strongly resisting like earlier.With utmost respect, she squatted beside Madeline and took out the alcohol and cotton swab to clean the wound.Madeline stared at the maid, who was cleaning her wound with a serious look on her face, and asked with a c
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.âStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?ââWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iâm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?âHer husband was startled. âYouâre agreeing to this?âGina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Danielâs parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. âAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.ââBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonât be happy about it for the rest of their lives,â Ava said with a helpless sigh. âI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.ââBut AvaâŠââMaddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as theyâre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?âThere was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.âAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?ââI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.âHmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,â Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. âStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnât a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnât have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?âGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. âDidn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?ââStop talking.â Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.âHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?âHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?âOld Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?âI canât let this happen.âAfter Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.âDan, have you decided to just give up?âAre we
âI'll be right back!âGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.âDonât follow me! Youâre not welcomed at our house.âDespite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. âWhat? Danâs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?ââLook at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.âWhatâs going on? Whereâs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?â Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, âI want to know as well.ââHow could you not know? You came before me.ââDan wasn't in the ward when I came,â Ava said and turned around. âI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.ââWait.âGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.âAva, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.âLily.â Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. âLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youâll be able to speak soon.âLillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.âMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.âJulie smiled and shook her head. âYou stopped owing me an
âI did,â Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, âI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnât expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.âFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.âBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereâll be no such trouble in the future.âJulie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.âMiss Charles, Iâve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itâs closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.âJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?âJulie frowned. âYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.ââWhat?ââTsk tsk⊠Julie, do you really like this single father?â The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. âSomeone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.ââWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?â Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
