Chapter 508
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

Jackson nodded. Holding the apple, he ran toward them with his little legs.Madeline smiled, her heart at ease as she stretched out her arms toward Jack. "Jack, come into Mom's arms.""Mommy," Jackson cried out to Madeline in a puerile voice and ran toward her.The plan fell apart as Jack returned to Madeline's embrace peacefully. Rose expected that Jeremy would definitely not let her go, and instantly, there was a fierce look on her face.Rose grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed toward Madeline fiercely, yelling, "Madeline, you b*tch! Go to hell!"She cursed viciously while waving the fruit knife.However, before she could get close to Madeline, she was kicked away by Jeremy.Rose fell to the ground with a thud while the fruit knife fell to the side. She turned over and wanted to grab it, but Jeremy stepped on her pudgy hand. Rose immediately screamed in pain.Jeremy's deep, icy eyes were condescending. He looked just like a king who treated everyone under him as

Jeremy saw through Rose's intention. He quickly grabbed Madeline's shoulders and walked them toward the door. "Hurry up."Madeline had only wanted to take Jackson to a safe place as soon as possible and was prepared to leave according to Jeremy's intention.However, the wooden door that had been closed could not be opened. Something was stuck in the lock and the door could not open no matter what they did. "Go to hell everyone!" Rose shouted coldly.Jeremy turned his head to look at Rose and he saw that she had picked up the gasoline can. She splashed the contents to their side. Jeremy hurriedly protected Madeline and Jackson while retreating to the side.All the gasoline that Rose had poured at them had splashed onto the door panel."Hahaha..." Rose laughed loudly as if she had gone mad. "Madeline, you b*tch. Let’s see how you’re gonna stay alive this time!"A cold silver light shone in Jeremy's eyes. He wanted to crush Rose to pieces.At this moment, however, what he wanted
