Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Before them were the worn-down buildings that were about to be demolished. ‘It’s indeed a perfect place to hide someone.’

Winston scanned the surroundings with a worried look. “Jeremy, do you really think that your mom and Madeline are locked up somewhere here? It doesn’t look like anyone is living here. Even the street lights aren’t functioning.”

Jeremy stood quietly for a moment, then walked two steps ahead and said, “Linnie must be nearby.”

“But this place is so huge.” Winston looked around but did not find anything fishy.

“Look around and see if there’s any house with lights on. Then, observe the condition of the balcony of that particular house with the lights on. That should be enough to locate Linnie and the rest.”

Winston came to an understanding after listening to his instructions.

The old houses were not very high. Hence, it was not difficult to observe the entire area.

Very soon, Winston noticed there were two suspicious houses.

“Jeremy, this house looks empty and there’s nothing on the balcony, but its lights are on as if there are a few people in there. I’ll notify the cops to let them decide whether we should head in.”

Jeremy nodded, his heart suddenly racing. He could not explain the sense of insecurity that he was feeling.

Yvonne and her two comrades were discussing blackmailing Jeremy for another sum of cash. One of them decided to head over to the balcony to smoke and get some fresh air when he spotted two figures downstairs.

He quickly headed back to the room with an anxious look on his face. “There are two men downstairs and one of them seems to be Jeremy!”

“What?” Yvonne’s face went pale. She opened the curtain sneakily to glimpse downstairs.

Jeremy had a figure which was easily recognizable and Yvonne recognized him immediately.

“It really is my cousin. I didn’t expect them to find this place so soon.” Yvonne started to get worried. “We have to leave this place soon, but before that, you have to finish off those two ladies!”
