Madeline’s vision was blurred by the rain, but virtual-novel.net could clearly feel Jeremy’s wrath.
He grabbed virtual-novel.net collar tightly, making Madeline almost unable to breathe.
Looking at virtual-novel.net red face that was on the brink of suffocation, virtual-novel.net finally let go of his hands as if virtual-novel.net was releasing his anger. Then, virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net away.
Madeline gasped for air as virtual-novel.net body was drenched in the rain.
She picked up virtual-novel.net wet phone and saw virtual-novel.net messages on the screen.
There was a message from an unknown sender at the top of the list. ‘The kid refuses to listen to me, so I beat virtual-novel.net up good. He’s not making a sound now. When can you make the Whitmans pay up to get this kid back?’
When virtual-novel.net read this message, Madeline’s brain exploded. Then, virtual-novel.net mind went blank.
It was obviously a message about the kidnapping, but why was this message sent to her?
“Madeline, you’re really something else. You even went as far as working with a ruffian to kidnap my son. If my son is hurt in any way, I’ll slice a piece of your flesh off you.”
Madeline shuddered. When virtual-novel.net was about to stand up, virtual-novel.net felt debilitating pain in virtual-novel.net stomach.
She could not stand, so virtual-novel.net could only kneel next to Jeremy’s car while lifting virtual-novel.net head and gritting virtual-novel.net teeth. “Jeremy, I don’t know this person! I didn’t kidnap your son. This is slander!”
Rain fell on virtual-novel.net face and virtual-novel.net was in so much discomfort that virtual-novel.net could not open virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Slander? Did Mer slander you again? She’s using the life of virtual-novel.net own flesh and blood to slander you again and again, huh?”
Jeremy’s eyes looked like they were hungry for blood.
“Madeline, I’m telling you now. If I don’t see my son right this second, I’ll help you accomplish your aim of accompanying your dead b*stard child!”
After virtual-novel.net warned furiously, virtual-novel.net sped away.
The wheels picked up the rainwater and mud on the floor, splashing Madeline. The words virtual-novel.net left virtual-novel.net felt like a million arrows aiming for virtual-novel.net heart.
Hiss!
Madeline clutched the part of virtual-novel.net stomach where it hurt and bent down to curl up virtual-novel.net body. However, virtual-novel.net could not get any relief from the bone-piercing pain at all.
The rain was getting heavier and the cold air almost drowned Madeline’s heart.
The three years of imprisonment was not enough to make virtual-novel.net come to a realization.
She was still so weak and fragile.
She clenched virtual-novel.net fist and bit virtual-novel.net lip to make herself stand.
She called Jeremy. However, not only did virtual-novel.net not pick up, but virtual-novel.net even hung up immediately.
Madeline’s fingers shook as virtual-novel.net read the message about the kidnapping. She called the number immediately.
The person on the other end picked up the phone almost instantly. A man’s voice said, “Madeline, is the money ready?”
The man was asking virtual-novel.net like it was a matter of course. Madeline’s mind went blank. However, virtual-novel.net vaguely felt like virtual-novel.net had heard this voice before.
“Who are you? Why did you say that?” Her heart was beating erratically.
“Madeline, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m your close friend! You’re the one who called me about this business,” the man said smoothly. “Get the money quickly. That kid is so annoying. I’m worried that I might kill him.”
When virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net would kill Jackson, Madeline felt a dull pain in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Don’t hurt Jackson!” virtual-novel.net yelled without even hesitating.
“I know, I’ll get less money if I hurt this kid. Come over quickly! I can’t wait,” the man said as virtual-novel.net was about to hang up.
“Don’t hang up! Where are you? I’m going over now!” Madeline was scared to lose any information on Jackson, so virtual-novel.net asked quickly.
