Madeline took the card and looked around after reading it silently."Linnie, what's the matter?" Jeremy was a little confused when he did not hear anything from Madeline."It's nothing," Madeline said and opened the passenger door. "Get in the car."Jeremy could sense that something strange had happened but did not question her and got into the car obediently.Madeline got in the car and glanced at the words printed on the card. [Watch your back, Eveline Montgomery.]It was obviously not a kind reminder but an arrogant warning instead.The person called her Eveline Montgomery. Madeline glanced at Jeremy next to her. His quiet expression gave her peace. Moreover, the way he defended himself in the elevator just now showed that he did not let his blindness make him any weaker. He was Jeremy, still the same old Jeremy. Madeline did not think much of it and started the car.…After Jeremy and Madeline left, Felicity also left.Karen sat in the living room with dissatisfact
"Hmph, you don't even recognize us siblings? You must've seen us on television, no? We're a group of desperadoes, a group of wanted murderers. Got it?"Hearing the comments made Karen's eyes widen. She was so afraid that she was drenched in a cold sweat.'I can't believe it's two desperadoes!'"You don't have to be so scared. For the time being, we'll keep you alive because you still have some value."The two men then grabbed onto Karen and dragged her outside."What do you guys think you're doing?! Let me go. Help! Help…" Karen shouted in fear."Let go! Let go of her!" The old master heard the commotion and was just done making a call to Jeremy behind their back. Only then did he wheel himself out of the room."You got to save me, Dad! Dad!" Karen shrieked.However, the two men were not bothered about the old master. They hoisted their leg and kicked his wheelchair over. "Are you trying to dig your grave, old one?!""Dad! Dad!" Seeing the old master not moving an inch after f
Karen looked at the woman who was walking toward her. She was shocked and held on to her breath."So it's you, you little b*tch—"Slap!Before Karen was done speaking, she received a tight slap on the face.She was dumbfounded and only recovered after a few seconds. "You… How dare you slap me? You—"Slap!"Argh!"Another slap landed on her face. Karen found it unbelievable. With gritted teeth, she turned to glare at the woman."You're out of your mind, Yvonne! You hired someone to kidnap me and even dare to hit me? I'm your biological aunt!"Yvonne let out a peal of maniacal laughter. Her expression became dark. "Biological aunt? The one I'm beating right now is my biological aunt!""You…"Yvonne reached out to Karen's collar, putting on a malicious expression. "My dear aunt, let me tell you this. I've been tolerating you for a very long time now!"You claim that you're my biological aunt, but have you ever treated me as your biological niece? Whenever you were being lectur
At Whitman Manor.In the end, Jeremy made the police report and the cops showed up immediately to start the investigation. Coupled with the confession given by the old master after he was conscious, the cops were confident that those two robbers had already been planning it for a long time.The cops came to Madeline to reaffirm the event that was going to take place that night and Madeline nodded in agreement.Jeremy heard Madeline's answer from behind and spun around to face her. "Don't go, Linnie."Even though he was unsure who the people who had kidnapped Karen were, he still found it weird that the kidnappers demanded only Madeline be present to hand over the ransom.Madeline lowered her gaze to face him and said, "Don't you think that those who kidnapped your mom are also holding a grudge against me?""That's one possibility, so I can't have you risk your life," said Jeremy, determined.Following his senses, he reached out to Madeline's hand. "I can't risk having you meet w
Yvonne also spun around to look. She was shocked to see her comrades pushing Madeline into the room."Madeline?" Karen thought she was seeing an illusion, but the woman before her was in fact the actual Madeline."So it's you.” Madeline did not seem too surprised to see that it was Yvonne. "Previously, it was you who sent a guy with the name Tanner Long to kidnap my daughter, right?"Yvonne was startled as she did not expect Madeline to even figure out the truth behind that incident. Then, she curled her lips and giggled. "Yeah, it's me. So what? You still failed to catch me."She strolled toward Madeline. "But I never thought that you'll risk your life for her."Madeline looked at Karen who was at the corner with her hands shamefully tied up.Her gorgeous eyes looked at Karen scornfully. She smirked and said, "For her? Do you think she's worth risking my life for?""Worth? What do you mean, Madeline?!" Karen was crossed.Madeline's expression was elegant yet stony. "It means I
Before them were the worn-down buildings that were about to be demolished. 'It’s indeed a perfect place to hide someone.'Winston scanned the surroundings with a worried look. "Jeremy, do you really think that your mom and Madeline are locked up somewhere here? It doesn't look like anyone is living here. Even the street lights aren’t functioning."Jeremy stood quietly for a moment, then walked two steps ahead and said, "Linnie must be nearby.""But this place is so huge." Winston looked around but did not find anything fishy."Look around and see if there's any house with lights on. Then, observe the condition of the balcony of that particular house with the lights on. That should be enough to locate Linnie and the rest."Winston came to an understanding after listening to his instructions.The old houses were not very high. Hence, it was not difficult to observe the entire area.Very soon, Winston noticed there were two suspicious houses."Jeremy, this house looks empty and th
"Don't you have any clue what I'm about to do right now?" Madeline smirked."You... I dare you!" Karen was trying her best to suppress the anxiety coursing through her. She pointed at Madeline and barked. "Aren't you going to consider your status back then? You were one hell of a poor little girl, and you were very much blessed that Jeremy was willing to marry you! If it wasn’t for Meredith's mistake of entering the wrong room, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to marry into the Whitmans!"You b*tch! Acting all innocent and weak. In fact, you're just as cruel and cunning as Meredith!"I should have had you dead if I knew you'd turn out to be so cruel!"Slap!Following Karen's cursing, Madeline hoisted her hand and slapped Karen hard on the face."Are you done scolding me?"Yvonne was thrilled to see the scene.Karen was in shock after receiving the heavy blow on her face.She stared blankly at Madeline. Fear crawled down her spine, and she finally noticed what true fear wa
No matter how Madeline struggled, she could not defend against two muscular men. Her hands were locked, making it hard for her to move around."You really drive me mad, Madeline! You always look as if you've seen through everything. Then, do you know what I'm about to do to you?"Yvonne gritted her teeth hard, putting on a fierce look."You two, tear off her clothes. I want to upload this b*tch's awful pictures up on the net and let everyone witness the prestigious Young Lady Montgomery being raped by others!"The two men put on a devilish look after hearing her comment.They grabbed onto Madeline, and at the eleventh hour when they stretched their hands out to Madeline, the door was kicked open.Madeline looked up and saw Jeremy's outline appear before her.Even though he had lost his vision, his eyes still gave off a sharp glare.At that moment, a sense of security was injected into Madeline."Cou… Cousin…" Yvonne stuttered."I'm here, Jeremy," Madeline called out to him.
