Rushed steps drew close from behind, followed by Eloise’s trembling voice. She could almost guess what for as the contents of the video must have been shocking to Eloise and Sean. Madeline turned around slowly, planning to deal with them coldly. However, she was hugged by Eloise before she could do anything. “My daughter!” Eloise sobbed. “I’m so sorry, Eveline… Mom is so sorry!” She apologized repeatedly while Sean’s eyes reddened as he watched from the side, having run over with his wife. The video showed a wretched-looking Meredith torturing a battered Madeline. They could not bring themselves to think of the scene. Yet the harder they tried to suppress it, the more that brutal scene emphasized the difficulty and hurt Madeline had suffered. Her parents had been defending that monster while she suffered. Sean sighed deeply as he took in Madeline’s cool expression and patted Eloise’s shoulder. “Let’s not make it more difficult for our daughter, Ellie. Give her some

“Why do I have to bet with you? I decide how I want my life to go. You don’t get to control it,” Madeline replied curtly, her eyes filled with confidence. “You don’t have to sign the papers since I can appeal for one on grounds that we’ve been separated for more than two years. As for Jack’s custody, I won’t give it up.” Madeline then turned and left. Waiting by the side, Eloise and Sean could do nothing as they watched Madeline leave Jeremy with distaste on her face. While Jeremy was their son-in-law, he had hurt Madeline deeply as well. They had no right to berate Jeremy, for their mistakes were worse as parents. … Meredith’s case climbed the trends rather quickly, angering countless netizens with her brutal personality. Hidden away in a motel, Rose and Jon shook with infuriation as they watched the news of Meredith’s court case. They dropped the remote on the floor. “Meredith’s penalty is in a month! What are we going to do? I can’t believe that Jeremy would have s

Just then, a message notification appeared on her phone. Tapping in, Madeline realized that Felipe had still taken Whitman Manor away in the end. She rushed to Whitman Manor only to find its gates bolted. She felt her body grow cold. Standing by the door, all Madeline had in mind was Old Master Whitman who supported and protected her silently. “Grandfather…” She thought to herself. After asking around about Old Master Whitman’s current settlement, Madeline immediately drove over. She arrived at a high-end district around the suburbs. Losing Whitman Corporation had not made Jeremy completely useless, for it seemed like he still had quite the savings. Madeline parked her car and got ready to make her way inside when she heard someone yell her name from behind. “Madeline Crawford!” It was a voice Madeline was familiar with. Turning around, she was met with Karen running furiously toward her with Yvonne in tow. “How dare you come here, Madeline? Do you think you hav

Jeremy noticed that something was wrong with Madeline's face. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Madeline looked at him displeased. "You know clearly in your heart what you’ve done."Jeremy frowned lightly. He did not understand what Madeline meant."Where did you take Jack?"Madeline's subsequent questioning confused Jeremy even more. "Linnie, what are you talking about? When did I even take Jack away?""Jeremy, you just have to trouble me, don't you? Are you just so happy when you see me worried or sad?""I really don't know what happened." Jeremy looked at Madeline with confusion. "Linnie, first tell me what happened.""Jeremy, you’ve been with Meredith for a long time now and your acting skills have gotten quite good as well,” Madeline said sarcastically, then stepped on the accelerator before driving to the gate of the kindergarten where Jackson was studying.While on the way, Jeremy had repeatedly wanted to understand the reason behind Madeline's anger, but Madeline ju

"Rose? Meredith's old lady?" Ava suddenly became uneasy. "She must know that Meredith is about to face execution and has directed her resentment on you, Maddie. That’s why she’s starting with Jack!"Ava’s guess was not too far off.Madeline also had a very bad premonition in her heart.Meredith's family was really inhumane. They would do anything.Madeline decided to call the police after understanding the situation. However, as soon as she walked out of the kindergarten gate, she received a message. [Your son is now in our hands. If you don't want him to die, do as I say!]Seeing this text, Madeline's heart jumped quickly.She knew she had to calm down, but when she thought of the situation Jackson might be suffering in now, her thoughts were muddled.Jeremy then took her mobile phone and called the number directly.Unexpectedly, the call connected.Rose lowered her voice and made a request, "Madeline, prepare 50 million in exchange for your son. Otherwise, you’ll just ha

After Madeline and Jeremy gave each other a look, she picked up the phone and pressed on the speakerphone.Rose had lowered her voice deliberately, trying to fake another voice over the line.Opening her mouth, she asked for money, "Madeline, is the 50 million ready? I want it in cash! I want it in an hour, or I’ll kill your son!"Madeline's heart was faintly anxious and she tried hard to restrain her emotions. "I’ll give you the money, but you can't hurt my son! Otherwise, you can dream about getting even a penny!"Although Rose said she was dissatisfied, she thought about her getting the huge sum of money in a while and watched her mouth. "As long as you don't play any tricks, your son will be fine. I’ll send you the address now and you’ll leave the money there later. Just be in that position. Remember, you’re not allowed to call Jeremy over and you’re not allowed to call the police. You must go alone!"After she was finished speaking, she quickly hung up and Madeline soon recei

Madeline very quickly found the location as it was just a hundred meters away.The house in front of her looked dilapidated as if it was vacant, but there was also light coming through from inside the house.Madeline walked to the window and looked inside. At a glance, she saw Jackson sitting on the small bench while being guarded by Jon who was smoking beside him. There was a fruit knife beside Jon.Sure enough, they were the ones behind it.Madeline clenched her fists, her worried eyes falling on Jackson's small face.The little guy did not seem to be afraid of anything. He was even shaking his feet while nibbling on an apple carefreely. It looked like he was talking to Jon about something.The situation looked a little unusual, but when one thought about it, it was not too surprising either when one remembered that Jackson was just a six-year-old child.Madeline pondered silently about a way to deal with this, and as she was about to knock on the door, Jeremy's face involunta

The man looked back, a smile appearing in his slender, alluring eyes. "Are you worried about me?""..." Madeline quickly let go. "I'm not worried about you. I just don't want Jack to be hurt in any way.""Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to our son." Jeremy solemnly promised. He shook Madeline's hand all of sudden. "Linnie, wait for me in the car. I’ll definitely bring Jack back safely."Madeline was in a daze for some reason until Jeremy gave her a light push. "Quickly head back to the car."His eyes were sincere and his tone was as usual, but Madeline did not appreciate it. "Jeremy, I don't want to owe you anything. My son is mine and I will save him myself."Jeremy's gaze turned lonely. "You don't owe me anything, I owe you. No matter how you deny it, you can't change that Jack is both our child."Saying this, he pulled Madeline over and all the way to the car on the side of the road.Madeline could not struggle as she was afraid that Jon and Rose would discover
