Chapter 1083

Madeline was feeling perturbed and kept questioning, but Fabian claimed that speaking through the phone was rather inconvenient. Hence, he invited Madeline out to a place to meet up.

In the meantime, Madeline made her leave as she did not want to disturb Ava and Daniel’s quality time together.

However, as soon as Madeline left, Ava felt uncomfortable and her heartbeat went erratic. Her face was unusually warm as well.

However, Daniel held onto Ava’s hand naturally and walked along the streets with her as if it was nothing to him.

Ava felt as though she was in a wonderful dream, but this was only limited to being a spectacular dream and nothing else beyond it.

Madeline drove her car to where she was supposed to meet up with Fabian. As soon as she got out of her car, Fabian immediately strolled to her and asked with a stern expression, “Hey, do you know where Jeremy is right now?”

“You asked me to come all the way here just to know where Jeremy is?” Madeline was puzzled. “Why are you looking for him? Does it have something to do with Lana?”

Fabian frowned. “Lana has been arrested by the men from IBCI. My brother is still stuck in there, unable to free himself. Before that, Lana said she was going with Jeremy to discuss a business issue. It was then she got arrested. So, only Jeremy knows what went on at that moment.”

“IBCI?” Madeline seemed to be familiar with the international crime investigation department, but as for the incident of Lana being arrested, she was not feeling the slightest pity for her.

‘That lady has done so many evil things. All the events that are happening now are because of her own doings. There’s no one to blame.

‘However, for Jeremy…’

She thought back about this period of time when Jeremy spent so much time with Lana and even aided her in committing crimes.

‘Is that the reason he’s being pursued by the IBCI?’

Madeline shook her head. “I don’t know where he is. I’ve cut ties with him.”

Fabian let out a depressed sighed after getting his reply. “It’s a punishment from the gods.”

Madeline’s eyes went icy after hearing his comment. “Are you empathizing with your brother and sister? In my opinion, even if Lana’s dead, she’s not worth the pity. As for Yorick, he should bear the responsibility for what he has done so far. In the end, they all deserve it for what they’ve done.”

Fabian totally understood Madeline’s current feelings.

“I’m very sorry.” He offered his most sincere apology, especially when he thought about Lillian who up to this day could not speak a single word. It just made him feel even more hurt.

Madeline composed herself and looked at Fabian. “You did nothing wrong to me. You don’t have to apologize. The person I hate is Lana.”

She finished her statement and left the scene without turning around.

On her way back to Whitman Manor, Madeline kept thinking about Fabian’s comments.

‘Jeremy and Lana joined forces and did illegal tradings. Now Lana has been arrested, but Jeremy has gone missing.’

When the traffic light turned red, Madeline took out her phone and clicked on Jeremy’s contact number but did not hit the call button.

“Eveline Montgomery, I hope this will be the last time. I don’t wish to see you ever again.”

His words that were full of loathing back from that day kept resonating in her ears.

Seeing that the traffic light had turned green, Madeline placed her phone back down and pressed on the accelerator.

She just got back to Whitman Manor when she received a call from Ryan. He said that he would be busy with business for these two days and would not have time to head back home. Hence, he asked for Madeline to stay at Whitman Manor for two days.

Madeline was unsure about Ryan’s occupation. However, because of her trust in him, Madeline did not question him further.

After entering the house, she spotted her two children sitting on the sofa without speaking a word. The sight made her feel rather insecure.

‘Lillian’s already not talking, but now Jackson isn’t talking either. What the hell is happening right now?’

“I’m back, Jack. What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you greeting me?” Madeline expressed her concern.

Jackson raised his big teary eyes and mumbled, “Mommy, Daddy doesn’t want us anymore.”

Madeline was slightly dumbfounded, not knowing the reason behind the sudden comment given by her son.

At that moment, Karen came to the scene while carrying Pudding in her hands. “Earlier in the afternoon, Jeremy stopped by.”
