Chapter 2409
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

Madeline could feel how much Ava cared about her, but since she came here, she never thought of leaving.“Esther, stop joking. Since you brought me here, I know you have no plans of letting either one of us go. Just be direct about what you want.” Madeline hugged Ava tightly as she faced Esther who was looking down on them neither obsequiously nor superciliously.“Hmph.” Esther sneered. “Eveline, it seems that you’re pretty bold. Well then, I want to see just how strong you are.”“No!” Ava suddenly shouted as she turned her face to look at Esther. “Esther, the person you hate the most is me. The person you want to deal with is also me. Eveline has no grudges against Naya. All of this is between Naya and me. This has nothing to do with my friends. You can just do anything you want to me!”Although she was tortured to the point where she was covered with scars and bruises, Ava did not flinch from fear at all.“Esther, tell your people to continue torturing me. Let Eveline go. You sh

Ava's physical condition was not good now, but her hearing was still okay.After hearing Madeline's whispers in her ear, she was slightly stunned, but she also knew they did not have a second to hesitate.From the corners of her eyes, she could see the two men gradually approaching them with the rope.Madeline also knew that at this time, she could not hesitate. Once she did, something would go wrong.When she saw that the two men were about to tie her and Ava with rope, Madeline suddenly raised her hand and sprayed the pepper spray in her hand into the eyes of the two men with lightning speed.“Ouch!”“F*ck!”The two men screamed in pain at the same time. They threw the rope in their hands to the ground. They were desperately wiping their eyes.However, since they were wiping it away with their hands, they allowed more of the pepper spray to go into their eyes. Madeline advanced after the enemies retreated. She sprayed more pepper spray into the eyes of the two men, then kic

Of course, Madeline would not let go. She ignored Ava's words. Instead, she asked with concern, “Ava, are you really unable to walk at all?”“Yeah, I can't walk anymore. I have no energy, and it hurts so much.” Ava frowned, almost unable to lift her head. “Maddie, listen to me. You can leave now. Esther is crazier than Naya. She can really do anything.”“Then it's even more impossible for me to leave you here to face the danger alone,” Madeline said and lifted Ava with even more force. When she heard the hurried footsteps behind her, Madeline had to make a decision immediately, “Ava, hold on for a while.”“Maddie…”Ava gradually began to lose consciousness, but her feet still followed Madeline.After the two men washed their eyes, they were the first to chase after Madeline and Ava. Meanwhile, Esther was following closely behind them. However, after they ran out of the building, they found that the buildings around them were empty. They did not see any shadows, let alone humans.

Madeline was not flustered at all when she was facing Esther who was staring at her so closely. The moment she saw the two men going up the stairs, she suddenly turned and ran.Esther looked at Madeline who suddenly ran away and screamed in confusion, “She ran! Catch her first! Don't let her run away!”The two men did not expect such a sudden turn in the situation, but they also realized now that Madeline was not a woman who was easy to deal with.Esther was so angry that she chased after Madeline. As she watched Madeline’s figure speed away, she was seething.“Eveline, I don't believe that those two big men can’t handle you!”Esther gritted her teeth and finally realized how negligent she was.Madeline was fine and not injured, so she should let those two men deal with her.She should be looking for Ava, who was beaten so badly that she could not even walk on her own.Esther was also a little aware of the reason why Madeline would take the initiative to show up here. Clearly,
