Chapter 1236
Madeline was helpless. Maybe Jeremy was the only one who could heal their daughter now.
After sending Lillian back to Whitman Manor, she immediately returned to Ryan’s place.
Ryan was not there, so Madeline went into the bedroom because she wanted to take the suit from the closet.
This was the key evidence to prove that Ryan killed Lana.
Madeline opened the door of the closet, but the closet was empty and there was nothing inside.
Did Ryan take the clothes away before she could?
Madeline was upset, then she quickly started looking for it.
After looking around, she could not find anything.
She wanted to go to the cloakroom again, but as soon as she stepped out of the room, she collided head-on with Ryan who had suddenly come upstairs.
Seeing Madeline’s hurried expression, Ryan glanced in the room. “What’s wrong? You seem to be looking for something?”
“The rose badge that my son made for me is missing,” Madeline explained calmly as sadness crept up her face.
“You can look for it after we come back,” Ryan said, grabbing Madeline’s wrist all of a sudden. “I’m taking you to my parents’ place. We’re going to have dinner together.”
Madeline was stunned. She knew she could not refuse, so she had to follow Ryan back.
Madeline felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered the gates of Jones Manor.
When she saw Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ horrible expression, Madeline could only greet them with a smile.
“You don’t have to do that, Miss Montgomery. How can we be qualified to be your father-in-law and mother-in-law?” Mrs. Jones said sarcastically, “I wonder if our Rye is insane? How can he take you back home when you’re still the talk of the town?”
Mr. Jones agreed with his wife. He did not even look at Madeline before advising Ryan earnestly.
“Rye, have you thought this through? If a woman like her could betray Jeremy Whitman, then she’ll be able to run away with another man sooner or later. You can’t have a woman who won’t stay with you in times of trouble!”
