Chapter 363
When Jackson saw that Madeline was safe and sound, his large eyes shone brightly.
He did not say anything. However, the relief he felt was written on his face.
“Vera Quinn, you did so many cruel things and you’re still safe and sound! You even have the guts to saunter back here!” Eloise pointed at Madeline and shouted, “What crimes do you want to accuse my daughter of now?”
Madeline lifted her crystal-like eyes. “Mrs. Montgomery, do you want me to die so much?” she asked with a smile. Her eyes looked bottomless as she continued, “I’m afraid that you’ll never feel peace again if I did die, Mrs. Montgomery.”
“Hmph, a woman like you will not be remembered even if you’re dead. Why would I feel uneasy if you’re dead?” Eloise peered at her coldly. “Vera, I advise you to stop what you’re doing. Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction!”
“You should tell that to your precious daughter, Meredith,” Madeline said, throwing the man she was holding captive to Meredith’s feet.
The man yelled out in pain before trying to get up and leave.
“Jeremy, don’t let him run away.”
After Jeremy heard that, he extended his long leg and tripped the man effortlessly.
The man collapsed on the ground and wailed out in pain. “Let me go! Let me go now! I won’t run away, okay?”
Madeline approached him and pointed at Jackson. “Tell them what you did to this child a few hours ago.”
The man was scrawny and looked weak. He looked at Jackson, then at the people around him. Suddenly, he shook when he was met with Jeremy’s cold glare.
“I-I kidnapped that kid,” he stammered and admitted it.
“Why did you kidnap him?” Madeline asked again.
“S-Someone paid me to kidnap him. She told me to kill him.”
“What?” Eloise’s expression cracked. “Who gave you money to do that kind of thing? Tell us!”
Meredith gritted her teeth while panicking. She stared at the man and could not imagine what she was going to hear next.
“It’s… It’s…”
