Chapter 2405
Esther threw the bat away and told the two men to look after Ava before turning away.After getting in the car, she called Ethan back.Esther was even angrier when she heard that Daniel had gone to look for her.However, she did not show it. She replied in a soft voice that she was shopping outside and would be back in a while before hanging up the phone.When she thought that the life of her precious daughter, whom she had doted on for more than 20 years, was over, Esther's desire for revenge grew stronger and stronger.Madeline and Jeremy followed Daniel to the Mendez family’s manor, but they did not expect Ethan to be at home at this time.Compared to Esther's unfriendliness, Ethan seemed to be a rather polite person.Although he was very heartbroken and regretful about Naya's incident, he felt that Naya was just suffering the consequences of her actions. He could not blame anyone.He asked the servant to make tea and prepare snacks before sitting down.“You said Ava came t

Daniel asked Esther about Ava's whereabouts with certainty.Esther's heart was racing, but her face was full of disapproval.She walked toward Ethan leisurely and sat down on the sofa carefreely. “This is so strange. What does it have to do with me that you can’t find that vixen? Why are you asking me about her whereabouts?”Seeing that Esther was acting so indifferent like this matter had nothing to do with her, Madeline began to feel anxious.“Mrs. Mendez, we have reasons to believe that Ava came here to find you, and during this period when Ava was gone, I heard from Mr. Mendez that you just happened to be out.”After listening to Madeline's words, Esther suddenly let out a sneer.“Mrs. Whitman, what you said is really interesting. I'm not my precious daughter who’s now behind bars because she was framed by you guys. She lost her freedom and is detained in prison all day and night. I'm a free woman, so I can go wherever I want. Do you think you have the right to control me?”

Ethan could not stop Esther, so he just politely said a few words to Jeremy and the rest before going upstairs himself.Daniel stood in the same spot with a lot on his mind. He felt very anxious, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness was spreading in his heart. Then, it gradually wrapped around his heart like a huge black curtain.“Dan, let's go to the police station first.”Madeline's voice brought Daniel back to his senses.He nodded, said nothing, and followed Jeremy and Madeline to the police station.On the way there, he saw the surveillance footage of Ava getting into the cab and following Esther on Jeremy's phone. The subsequent surveillance footage from the streets had not been sent to Jeremy, so there was no way to determine where Esther and Ava got out of their cabs.Esther stood on the balcony, watching the car drive away with a sneer.“If you want to call the police, go ahead. Even if you look for her following the surveillance footage, you won't find her. You hurt

On the way to the police station just now, Madeline had persuaded Jeremy to let her get out of the car halfway.She returned to the location near the Mendez family’s manor to try to see if Esther would go out again. Not long after, Madeline did manage to wait until Esther went out. Then, she called a cab to follow behind Esther’s cab.She did not expect Esther to notice her.When the driver saw that the car he was following had stopped in front of him, he turned his head and asked Madeline.“Miss, do you still want to follow them?”“No, thank you.” Madeline directly got out of the car after paying the fare.Esther was a little surprised to see Madeline getting out of the car, but at the same time, she was not too surprised.“Mrs. Whitman, why are you following me?” Esther asked with a smile.Madeline stepped forward and parted her lips with a light smile. “Everyone can use the road. Are you the one who paved this road, Mrs. Mendez?”The smile on Esther's face was even more mea

Inside the coffee shop.Madeline and Esther sat face-to-face.Esther picked up the hot coffee that was just served, took a sip, and spoke first.“Mrs. Whitman, you have three children, right? I heard that your only daughter was tortured to the point where she couldn’t speak by a woman in a gang. She's still mute now. I wonder if it’s true.”The sudden mention of Lily, who got so frightened by Lana that she lost her courage to speak, made Madeline feel a little uncomfortable.However, she still calmly raised her eyes and parted her lips lightly. “Mrs. Mendez, you can just say what you want to. We’ve already reached this point, and some things are already tacitly understood. There’s no need to beat about the bush.”Esther pulled the corners of her red lips into a half-smile. “I really don't understand what you mean when you say those words. I'm just curious if your daughter was ever scared into a mute.”Madeline could hear that Esther was hiding something in her sentence. She main

After hearing this, Esther was about to explode in rage.“You… Eveline, you dare curse my daughter?”“I'm not cursing her; I'm telling the truth.” A sharp light gradually shot out from Madeline's eyes. “You’re my elder, so it’s impossible that you don’t understand these things. As a mother, you should set the right attitude and worldview for your child rather than ignorantly doting on her and allowing her to take a road of no return.”“Shut up, Eveline! Stop talking!” Esther could not contain herself anymore. “I don't need you to lecture me. How I educate my daughter has nothing to do with you. You should mind your own business and remember this. Naya was not driven to a dead end by Ava alone. You had a part in this too!”Esther turned to leave after leaving what sounded like a warning.Madeline did not delay for a second. She immediately followed after Esther and quietly called Jeremy from her watch.“Jeremy, I'm going to follow Esther now. There’s a chance that something bad mi

However, despite this, the smartwatch worn by Madeline recorded the route completely.Jeremy, who was on the other end of the phone, was also listening carefully to the situation in the car. However, it seemed that there was no communication in the car.It seemed pretty safe so far, but Jeremy was still worried about Madeline.Jeremy was about to go after Madeline according to the data sent by Madeline’s smartwatch when he suddenly heard Esther speak.“Eveline, the place I'm going to take you to is very private, so you have to turn off your phone now. Take off your jewelry and your watch. Leave them in the car.”Esther stared at Madeline with sly eyes.“I've long heard that Mr. Whitman is very concerned about you, so he installed tracking devices on the jewelry you wear. If you don't want to take them off, your journey today will only end here.”Madeline understood what Esther meant and glanced at the watch that was still connected to a call.Madeline could not hear what Jeremy

Ava pushed Madeline away with the last bit of her strength.Madeline almost lost her footing, but she was still hugging Ava, who insisted that she should leave as soon as possible.“Ava, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let anyone bully you again,” Madeline promised as she held the trembling Ava.Having known Ava for so many years, Madeline always had the impression that Ava was strong and upright. She was never afraid of anything, but now, Madeline could feel from Ava's trembling body how scared she was at the moment.Looking at the various wounds on Ava's body, Madeline's heart was also in excruciating pain.She could not imagine what Esther had done to Ava in this short period that would cause Ava to be covered in such nasty wounds.Naya's mother, Esther Bay, was even more extreme than Naya.Sure enough, only people like that would have children who acted the same.Madeline hugged Ava in even more distress, while Esther, who was watching this scene, displayed a sinister an
