“You… Eveline, why are you here?” Bewildered, Fabian stared at Madeline. He did not know how long virtual-novel.net had been standing there.
Madeline looked at Fabian with a serious look on virtual-novel.net face. “Who was that on the phone? What happened to Lily? How do you know Carter Gray?” Madeline questioned and walked up to Fabian.
The flame in virtual-novel.net gaze glinted piercingly, shooting a terrifying power that would make people’s hearts shiver.
“Fabian, tell me, where is my daughter? How do you know Carter Gray?”
When Fabian heard what Madeline said, virtual-novel.net stood there dazedly in silence. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but virtual-novel.net did not speak.
Upon seeing Fabian in such a state, suddenly, Madeline gradually came to a realization.
“I understand now. I finally understand.” As realization emerged in Madeline’s mind, virtual-novel.net expression grew more and more serious. “It’s Carter, isn’t it? He’s the one who’s inciting disharmony between us. That’s why you’ve suddenly been acting like this toward me and Jeremy.”
When virtual-novel.net heard what Madeline said, Fabian denied it. “This has nothing to do with him!”
Fabian quickly lifted his eyes and looked straight into Madeline’s eyes. His gaze suddenly changed.
“Isn’t it true that Jeremy went undercover to stay by Lana so virtual-novel.net could collect evidence? Isn’t it true that virtual-novel.net used my trust in you to successfully destroy my brother’s company and indirectly prompted Ryan to kill Lana?”
Listening to Fabian’s accusations which brimmed with rancor, Madeline calmly listened and spoke calmly.
“I don’t want to repeat this, Fabian, I know you’re not irrational, and I also know that in your heart, you know exactly how your brother and sister died. It doesn’t matter if you hate me or if you want to seek revenge against me. That’s a different matter. I just want to know my daughter’s situation now.”
After Madeline finished speaking calmly, virtual-novel.net observed the changes in Fabian’s expression, and then virtual-novel.net asked. “Did Carter abduct Lily when I came to you in the afternoon? It’s not that you don’t allow me to see her. In fact, you can’t let me see virtual-novel.net because you don’t even know where Lily is now.”
Madeline accurately analyzed Fabian’s thoughts. Indeed, virtual-novel.net had no choice.
Catching sight of the frustration that flashed across Fabian’s eyes, Madeline felt a little grateful instead.
“Fabian, nothing has actually changed. You still regard me as a friend in the deepest part of your heart.”
“…”
Fabian was stumped when virtual-novel.net heard this, but virtual-novel.net quickly denied it. “Eveline, don’t try to use this method to win back my trust in you and my fondness for you. I won’t believe you again, and I stopped regarding you and Jeremy as my friend a long time ago.”
Fabian’s tone was cold, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net also promised. “I’ve lost Lillian, so I must find her, but I might not let you take virtual-novel.net away.”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net turned around and strode away.
Madeline did not chase after him. She knew Fabian would not listen to virtual-novel.net at the present. However, virtual-novel.net was indeed worried about Lillian’s current situation.
She did not tell Jeremy about Carter abducting Lillian. She was worried that virtual-novel.net would get worried and get on a plane to F Country. Madeline called Jeremy and told virtual-novel.net that Fabian was still refusing to let virtual-novel.net see their daughter without mentioning the rest.
Madeline had stayed in F Country for three years before. Thanks to Felipe, virtual-novel.net had met a lot of people from the upper class here and virtual-novel.net knew a lot of people with reputations and statuses. As such, virtual-novel.net immediately called those friends who could help virtual-novel.net find Lillian.
Night fell upon F Country. The night, without the warm comfort of the sun, was very cold, the type of cold that was also damp.
After finishing virtual-novel.net dinner quietly, Lilian sat quietly and obediently next to Shirley the whole time.
