Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1397

Chapter 1397

Despite not knowing what was going on, Madeline could feel that something had occurred from Jeremy’s tone.

She was terrified that something had happened to Eloise.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Madeline immediately brought Sean back to Whitman Manor.

The two entered the living room and were met with Jeremy and Karen sitting solemnly on the sofa.

“Seriously, these people would do anything for money.” Karen groaned with a huff.

She shot up to her feet when she saw Madeline and Sean returning.

Hearing Karen’s complaint, the unease Madeline felt spiked.

She stared at the man who was slowly approaching her. “Do we have news on Mom, Jeremy?”

“Yeah.” He nodded, but his sharp brows were still tightly knitted.

Sean was elated, but the vibe in the air felt off.

“What happened? Is Ellie alright?”

Jeremy reached over to hold Madeline’s hand as he took in her worried expression. “I just received a call from an unknown number. They said they happened to find Mom on the streets and brought her back out of goodwill. They’re now asking for fifty million dollars repayment for watching over her or they won’t send Mom back. They won’t let us call the police or they’ll hurt Mom.”

Jeremy felt Madeline’s hands grow cold after he spoke.

“Don’t worry, Linnie. All they want is money.”

“Isn’t this just a kidnapping case?” Sean saw through the other’s plan.

What ‘happened to find’ and ‘goodwill’ were they talking about? This was blatant kidnapping and asking for ransom!
