Chapter 686
At Whitman Manor.In the end, Jeremy made the police report and the cops showed up immediately to start the investigation. Coupled with the confession given by the old master after he was conscious, the cops were confident that those two robbers had already been planning it for a long time.The cops came to Madeline to reaffirm the event that was going to take place that night and Madeline nodded in agreement.Jeremy heard Madeline's answer from behind and spun around to face her. "Don't go, Linnie."Even though he was unsure who the people who had kidnapped Karen were, he still found it weird that the kidnappers demanded only Madeline be present to hand over the ransom.Madeline lowered her gaze to face him and said, "Don't you think that those who kidnapped your mom are also holding a grudge against me?""That's one possibility, so I can't have you risk your life," said Jeremy, determined.Following his senses, he reached out to Madeline's hand. "I can't risk having you meet w

Yvonne also spun around to look. She was shocked to see her comrades pushing Madeline into the room."Madeline?" Karen thought she was seeing an illusion, but the woman before her was in fact the actual Madeline."So it's you.” Madeline did not seem too surprised to see that it was Yvonne. "Previously, it was you who sent a guy with the name Tanner Long to kidnap my daughter, right?"Yvonne was startled as she did not expect Madeline to even figure out the truth behind that incident. Then, she curled her lips and giggled. "Yeah, it's me. So what? You still failed to catch me."She strolled toward Madeline. "But I never thought that you'll risk your life for her."Madeline looked at Karen who was at the corner with her hands shamefully tied up.Her gorgeous eyes looked at Karen scornfully. She smirked and said, "For her? Do you think she's worth risking my life for?""Worth? What do you mean, Madeline?!" Karen was crossed.Madeline's expression was elegant yet stony. "It means I

Before them were the worn-down buildings that were about to be demolished. 'It’s indeed a perfect place to hide someone.'Winston scanned the surroundings with a worried look. "Jeremy, do you really think that your mom and Madeline are locked up somewhere here? It doesn't look like anyone is living here. Even the street lights aren’t functioning."Jeremy stood quietly for a moment, then walked two steps ahead and said, "Linnie must be nearby.""But this place is so huge." Winston looked around but did not find anything fishy."Look around and see if there's any house with lights on. Then, observe the condition of the balcony of that particular house with the lights on. That should be enough to locate Linnie and the rest."Winston came to an understanding after listening to his instructions.The old houses were not very high. Hence, it was not difficult to observe the entire area.Very soon, Winston noticed there were two suspicious houses."Jeremy, this house looks empty and th

"Don't you have any clue what I'm about to do right now?" Madeline smirked."You... I dare you!" Karen was trying her best to suppress the anxiety coursing through her. She pointed at Madeline and barked. "Aren't you going to consider your status back then? You were one hell of a poor little girl, and you were very much blessed that Jeremy was willing to marry you! If it wasn’t for Meredith's mistake of entering the wrong room, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to marry into the Whitmans!"You b*tch! Acting all innocent and weak. In fact, you're just as cruel and cunning as Meredith!"I should have had you dead if I knew you'd turn out to be so cruel!"Slap!Following Karen's cursing, Madeline hoisted her hand and slapped Karen hard on the face."Are you done scolding me?"Yvonne was thrilled to see the scene.Karen was in shock after receiving the heavy blow on her face.She stared blankly at Madeline. Fear crawled down her spine, and she finally noticed what true fear wa

No matter how Madeline struggled, she could not defend against two muscular men. Her hands were locked, making it hard for her to move around."You really drive me mad, Madeline! You always look as if you've seen through everything. Then, do you know what I'm about to do to you?"Yvonne gritted her teeth hard, putting on a fierce look."You two, tear off her clothes. I want to upload this b*tch's awful pictures up on the net and let everyone witness the prestigious Young Lady Montgomery being raped by others!"The two men put on a devilish look after hearing her comment.They grabbed onto Madeline, and at the eleventh hour when they stretched their hands out to Madeline, the door was kicked open.Madeline looked up and saw Jeremy's outline appear before her.Even though he had lost his vision, his eyes still gave off a sharp glare.At that moment, a sense of security was injected into Madeline."Cou… Cousin…" Yvonne stuttered."I'm here, Jeremy," Madeline called out to him.

Yvonne was angry when she saw Jeremy running to them. She used all her force to push Madeline down the slope. "Off you go to hell, Madeline!"Madeline lost her balance and felt her legs stepping in the air as she fell down the slope."Linnie!"Jeremy extended his long arms, his hand accurately grabbing onto Madeline's wrist.Madeline raised her head to look up. Under the moonlight, her vision was occupied with Jeremy's worried expression."Linnie!"Jeremy was grateful as he stared at Madeline who was hovering in mid-air. He quickly pulled her up with effort."Don't be afraid, Linnie. I'll never let you go, never again." He promised while giving all he got to pull Madeline up.Yvonne got exasperated when she witnessed the scene.She did not wish for Jeremy to pull Madeline up, but at the same time, she heard many footsteps approaching them.Recalling that the 500,000 in cash had been taken away by her two other comrades, Yvonne was left with no choice but to flee the scene whi

He looked into a face that looked very similar to Madeline’s. He waved his hand gently as the colors and crystal clear images projected right in his vision.'Am I able to see things?'I really can see things again.'Thinking back, he had actually recovered his vision since last night. He witnessed Yvonne pushing Madeline down the cliff and went over to catch Madeline."Hmm…"At that moment, Madeline let out a groan, snapping Jeremy out of his thoughts. He hugged Madeline, who was still drowsy, in his arms.When he lifted Madeline, he realized that just beneath the area where she was lying was a stone. The back of her head had hit it when they fell.His heartbeat went erratic as he carried Madeline in his arms and walked straight ahead.He attempted to search for an escape route, but after strolling around for a long time, he failed.He looked down at her in his arms. She was still unconscious. Jeremy was anxious and started picking up his pace."Jeremy."He suddenly heard Ma

Madeline groaned in pain and frowned. It was followed by a cooling sensation on her calf.Jeremy got down to his knees before her and pulled up her trousers only to find an enormous bruise on her calf.Heartbroken, he frowned. "I'll carry you, Linnie.""Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Whitman, but I don't need you to do so." Madeline rejected his offer. Bearing with the pain, she continued waddling ahead.Jeremy knew she was mad at his previous actions, but he could not bear to see her torturing her body.He quickly caught up to her, grabbed her waist, and hoisted her up.Madeline fumbled, and when she lifted her gaze, all she saw was the side of Jeremy's stony face."Put me down." Madeline rejected in an indifferent tone. After a few attempts of struggling which failed, she grabbed onto his collar. "Jeremy, I've made myself very clear back at Glendale University. I don't need your concern and you no longer need to treat me well."Jeremy looked at her with a passionate stare. "Li
