Chapter 1297
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Ryan pulled Madeline back, though she was not interested in what Ryan wanted to show her. All she wanted to know was if Sean and Eloise were alright.
However, Ryan did not seem to have any intention of letting her go. He linked his phone with the display on the car and a scene began to play out before her eyesâ¦
The three of them were seen on the display, discussing their plans to escape not too long ago in her room. The video was clear and so were their voices.
Madeline felt the bottom of her feet go cold as the chilly sensation spread through her entire body.
She turned to look at the confident man and questioned in disbelief, âYou put cameras in my room?â
Ryan smirked nonchalantly and met Madelineâs terrified gaze. âEvidence shows that you didnât learn from your mistakes.â
Madeline did not expect Ryan to be privy to her every move, even those that took place in her room!
A chill shook through her. She raised her arm to hit Ryan, only for him to grab her wrist easily.
Ryanâs eyes glowed with mirth, mirth that looked especially bone-chilling.
âYou may be smart, Eveline, but Iâm not stupid either. Iâm telling you right now that this is what will happen if you continue to test my boundaries.â
He glanced at the car accident Sean and Eloise were involved in as he spoke.
âThis is my punishment for you.â
Madelineâs heart sunk as she stared at the blinking lights of the car in front of her. Pulling her arm out of Ryanâs hold, she opened the car door frantically.
Under the rain, she ran toward the car that had been knocked askew.
Through the window, Madeline found that both Sean and Eloise were unconscious in the back seat.
Eloise was leaning against Sean without moving and Seanâs forehead was bleeding after knocking on what might have been the window.
Madeline raised her hand to hit the window strongly. She tried to open the doors, but the car was locked.
âMom! Dad!â
Bang, bang, bang!
Madeline continued to hammer the window, but no one seemed to respond.
She reached for her pocket to take her phone out and call for an ambulance only to remember that she had smashed her phone last night.
Madelineâs heart raced impatiently as the rain began to drench her clothes. Her vision began to blur as well.
They were not on the main street, so there were no cars around. Two men in suits stood in front, but they were both Ryanâs bodyguards. She had no one to ask for help.
âMom! Dad!â Madeline called out again while hammering the car window, but it was to no avail.
Eloise and Sean were the only family she had left in this world. She had already lost them once before and did not want to lose them again.
âAre you afraid now? Will you still try and challenge my limits?â Ryan walked over to Madeline slowly as he held a black umbrella over his head.
Her weak and pale appearance fed the exhilaration in Ryanâs eyes.
Madeline raised her panicked and fearful gaze to look at the high-spirited man in front of her. Tears that welled in her eyes began to trickle down.
She ran toward Ryan and grabbed both of the manâs sleeves. âTorture me if you have to, Ryan. Just please stop making my parents pay! Iâm begging you, please!â
