Chapter 2079
There was a table not far in front of her. Upon seeing the objects placed on it, Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before she rushed toward the table.Jeremy's phone and wedding ring were still clearly visible in the dim light.Madeline picked up the wedding ring and phone, certain that Jeremy must have been here, but Madeline did not know where he went afterward.When she recalled the depth of Carter's hatred for Jeremy, Madeline became more anxious.“Jeremy.” Madeline squeezed the ring and phone in her hand and gently called out Jeremy's name.“No, Eveline, you have to calm down, you must calm down.”Madeline said repeatedly to keep her emotions in check and force herself to calm down.She looked at the red dot on the phone, which indicated that Jeremy’s location was nearby, and then she recalled what happened this morning in her mind.At the time, Fabian brought her here, but not long after she went inside, Carter came out of place. Since Carter had still been here at t

“At the time, he came into my life like a beam of light, illuminating my bleak future. After that, I rediscovered myself and my confidence.”Shirley recounted with a faint smile on her face, but the smile was quickly dissipated in the moonlight.Her eyes gradually lost their light.“But in the end, he took away my confidence…”Shirley laughed bitterly at herself, and Madeline knew what she meant.“I can completely understand your feelings.”Madeline walked slowly to Shirley's side, but a very relieved smile appeared on her small face.“I used to be the same as you. I didn't have any self-respect and self-love in front of the man I love, but then I found out that loving someone blindly like that is like a moth flying into a fire. It’s asking for humiliation.”“Unfortunately, I understood it too late.”Shirley said regretfully, lifting her gaze to look at Madeline.“Even though you blindly loved Jeremy back then, you’re not the same as me. If you were me, you would’ve stopped J

The man looked at the empty hospital bed in astonishment. He could not believe what he was seeing.He immediately ran to the windowsill with a panic expression and saw that the window was open. Moreover, there were a few obvious footprints on the windowsill outside.This was the fifth floor. Carter had actually jumped down from such a height!Panicking, the man immediately called his superiors.Madeline and Shirley shared a look and walked out of the room together.Not long after, Madeline pushed Shirley directly toward below the room from just now.There were indeed traces of someone stepping on the flowerbed. As such, they were basically certain that Carter had climbed down from the fifth floor and escaped.He had been shot twice, and the wounds on his arm and leg were pretty severe, but he was still able to escape like this while under surveillance. Madeline could not help but sigh.“His stamina has always been good, but I didn't expect him to be able to do what he wants und

“Lily, Daddy has something to do. He’ll be back when he’s done. Can you wait a little longer?”Lillian was an obedient and sensible child, so when Madeline said that, she nodded sensibly.Madeline looked at Lillian with gratification and then rolled up Lillian's sleeves to look at her skin.The small red spots on her skin were still very obvious, but those red spots had not increased compared to when they started appearing.It was because Shirley had asked Evan to buy an oral medicine to temporarily keep the disease under control.Shirley truly had not expected Carter to take action on such a young child.He must have given the child the injection at night when she and Lillian were both asleep.Shirley also did not know how many of the half-completed test reagents she previously developed Carter had.Perhaps when he thought it was necessary, he would use this extreme method to achieve his goal.Shirley could not help but fall into contemplation. Suddenly, she felt that she did

At the former address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.In the dark prison underneath, the sound of gurgling water came through the crack of the door at the entrance from time to time.With a squeak, the heavy iron gate was gently pushed open.A faint light beam came in from the crack of the door.Click.Someone turned on the lights.Jeremy, who was trapped in the pool, raised his eyes and saw Carter condescendingly staring at him.However, Jeremy found that Carter looked different and haggard at the moment. Additionally, his face was also very pale. He did not have the look of confidence he had that day.Carter lowered his eyes to Jeremy who was trapped in the pool.The water in the pool was not too deep, probably just above Jeremy's calf, but the pool was very large and deep. It was about two meters high and the walls were covered with tiles. One would not be able to climb up along the wall of the pool unless they knew how to fly.When he saw Jeremy trapped in such an environmen

Jeremy noticed this, and from Carter’s haggard and pale face, Jeremy also figured that Carter was probably injured.However, Jeremy did not know how he got injured.Regardless, when Carter had spoken, Jeremy started to think something was amiss.Somehow, Jeremy suddenly remembered the words he and Madeline had discussed.He still remembered what Madeline had said at the time. “Jeremy, I think Carter might’ve had something to do with Ryan’s death.”Jeremy thought silently, but he did not show the suspicion and confusion in his heart on his face.When Carter saw that Jeremy was silent, the smug smile on his face grew bigger.“Are you confused? Do you think it’s strange?” Carter asked with a smile. He then continued, “Jeremy, I can also tell you that I provoked your relationship with Fabian and made him mistakenly think that you guys caused the death of his brother and sister. So, that’s why he suddenly hated you and Eveline.“I thought Fabian could vent my anger for me, but I did

“A basement?” After a moment of confusion, Fabian gradually understood what Madeline meant. “Eveline, do you suspect that Jeremy is still in the old house belonging to the Stygian Johnson Gang?”“Yes,” Madeline replied without hesitation. “Carter asked Jeremy to meet him here and Carter was also here at that time, so I have reason to believe that Jeremy must be there too.”Upon hearing what Madeline said, Fabian suddenly felt that it was reasonable, but he could not think of any hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house.Maybe there was, but he did not know it.After thinking about it carefully, Yorick’s transactions back then had been very risky. Therefore, he might have had set up a few hiding places in the Stygian Johnson Gang house to facilitate absconding or hiding.”“Eveline, so are you at the house now?” Fabian asked worriedly. “I heard Carter ran away from the hospital. So, if you are there, you have to be careful.”After hearing what Fabian said, Madeline's heart su

With his leg injured, he walked very slow.Madeline started following Carter.Although Carter was walking slowly, Madeline found out that he had a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Stygian Johnson Gang house.Madeline followed him for a while and came to the back garden of the house.The flowers in the yard had wilted, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground that had been neglected.However, there was a piece of land with significantly fewer leaves nearby.Madeline had a sudden thought when. at this moment, Carter walked over and pressed the hidden switch on the side of the flower bed, and then an intersection leading to the basement in the open area without fallen leaves appeared before him.Unexpectedly, there was a hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Madeline was surprised, but she figured that it was normal for Yorick to build such a place when he was in that kind of business.However, Yorick probably did not let his younger brother Fab
