Chapter 824
“He has gained some power and wealth all those years he was in F Country. I’m afraid there’s some sort of illegal trade behind this.”
Yvette’s expression changed. “How is that possible? He wouldn’t do anything illegal.”
“You still have this much faith in him even when it comes to this? He has done so many illegal trades already.” Jeremy’s question stumped Yvette.
She stood there in a daze as tears started welling in her eyes.

After Felipe received the phone call from F Country, he had already booked a flight ticket back.
Of course, he would not let Madeline stay in Glendale, so he decided to take her back to F Country with him that night.
He arranged for someone to take Madeline to see Lillian while he left hurriedly.
Madeline saw the scar on the little girl’s head and felt her heart break.
“Mommy, it’s been a long time since I saw Jackie and that handsome mister. I don’t want to stay here every day. Mommy, when are you going to take me out to play?”
The little girl blinked her huge eyes and looked at Madeline expectantly.
“Lily, be a good girl. I’ll find a time to take you to play with Jackie and the handsome mister.”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Madeline’s eyes were filled with love as she caressed the little girl’s face. “However, you have to listen to Mommy. You have to be careful and can’t fall like you did before.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll be good.” The little girl nodded and ran up to Madeline to kiss her cheek. “Mommy, can you tell me a story tonight?”
