Chapter 1347
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Ryanâs eyes were gentle. There was no longer the vicious and treacherous glint that he had in the beginning.
However, Madeline was still a little afraid. âWhat do you want?â
Ryan glanced at the bandaged wound on his shoulder and then stretched out his hand to try to grab Madelineâs hand, but the result was as expected.
Madeline avoided him. âWhat the hell is it?â she asked directly.
Ryan smiled sadly. âYouâll know soon.â
He finished saying that profoundly and slowly stood up. While facing Madelineâs uneasy and inquiring eyes, Ryan suddenly spoke seriously, âEveline, after you fulfill this requirement, Iâll personally send you back to Jeremy.â
Madeline widened her beautiful eyes. It was obvious she did not believe what Ryan was saying, but she knew she had no choice.

When the cab Jeremy was in passed a crossroad, he lost the cab Ryan and Madeline were in.
After finding the surveillance footage, he found the dilapidated villa.
However, as soon as he entered, Jeremy could sense that there was no one in the house.
Despite this, he called out Madelineâs name hopefully, âLinnie, are you here? Linnie?â
Jeremy looked forward to hearing Madelineâs response, but the only response he got was total silence.
He tried to find some clues. Shortly after, he saw a first aid kit, used cotton swabs, and some blood-
stained gauze on the coffee table.
Jeremy was even more certain now that this was where Ryan settled, but at this moment, he did not know where Ryan took Madeline.
He returned to the car and leaned his head on the chair while feeling depressed.
âJeremy Whitman, what are you doing?
âDid you just let Ryan take Linnie away under your nose?
âYou keep saying that youâll protect her, but what happened?
âYouâve put her in danger again.â
Jeremy blamed himself deeply and scolded himself countless times in his heart.
However, self-blame would do nothing. He needed to use the least time to find Madeline.
âLinnie, this time, I wonât let you wait for too long.â
Jeremy pulled many strings but still could not find any clues about Madeline and Ryanâs whereabouts after the entire morning.
When he returned to Montgomery Manor, Sean was surprised to see Jeremy coming back alone.
âDidnât Eveline go out with you in the morning? Whereâs Eveline? Ellie has been missing her for almost a day.â
When he recalled Seanâs words on the plane, Jeremy could not help but feel anxious. Even so, he still told Sean frankly, âEveline was taken away by Ryan.â
âWhat?â Seanâs expression changed suddenly. âWhat happened? How could Ryan have taken Eveline away again? Jeremy, you promised me on the plane that day that youâll take good care of Eveline. How could you allow Eveline to be taken away under your nose by that lunatic, Ryan?â
Sean yelled angrily. He was unable to calm down due to his worries.
âRyan is a lunatic who can do anything! Heâll definitely torture Eveline now that she has fallen into his hands! That child is already in a bad mental state and if Ryan does something to her, Iâm worried that Eveline will not survive!â
Sean knew that it was useless to accuse Jeremy now, but he still could not help but scold him.
âJeremy, if anything happens to Eveline, I will never hand my daughter over to you again!â
Hearing the movement, Eloise walked over from the living room and saw Jeremy coming back alone.
Then, Eloise looked behind him expectantly.
