Chapter 1723
Madeline got out of the car. She had never thought that she would come back to this villa again.
After all, this place was filled with a lot of unhappy memories.
Jeremy carefully observed Madeline’s expression. He knew this place had given her too much pain. To be honest, he was genuinely reluctant to bring her back here.
“She’s in the basement.” Jeremy broke the silence and went over to open the iron gates.
Madeline followed after him. When she stepped into the premises, she felt a strong uneasiness rising in her chest.
Perhaps it was because the weather was cold today, so whenever the wind blew, the coldness would penetrate her skin like thorns.
Madeline could not endure this discomfort so she followed Jeremy to the basement.
When the door of the basement was opened and the light streamed inside, Madeline could see a person lying on the cold and damp floor.
Madeline quickly walked to Shirley and grabbed her arm.
She could feel that Shirley’s entire body was hot, even her breath. It seemed that she was having a fever.
At this moment, she looked battered and exhausted. She had lost her bright and beautiful appearance as well as her arrogant attitude whenever she was in front of people.
“Shirley,” Madeline called out to her.
Jeremy watched them coldly at one side. “Linnie, she won’t die. You don’t have to worry about people like her.”
Madeline understood how much Jeremy despised Shirley. However, if something happened to Shirley and she died here, Jeremy’s future would be destroyed.
“Jeremy, get her out of here. Ask Carter to come to get her.”
“No way.” Jeremy rejected decisively. “Even if she dies, it’ll be an appropriate punishment for her crimes. Linnie, why are you worried about people like her?”
