Chapter 874

“Looking for your daughter? Who’s your daughter?”

“Lillian Whitman.” Jeremy raised his frosty gaze. “The four-year-old girl you Stygian Johnsons stole from Felipe’s outer courtyard.”

Confused, Yorick leaned over to quietly ask Fabian, who stood beside him, about what was happening.

Watching the two whisper between themselves, Jeremy demanded coldly, “Give my daughter back to me.”

Yorick quirked an eyebrow and chuckled. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to return your daughter. However, a price must be paid.”

“Stop!”

Yorick was about to go for Jeremy’s life when a woman’s voice suddenly called for them to halt.

Her voice shot through Jeremy’s gloomy heart like a warm ray of sunshine.

He quickly turned his head to stare at the woman who was striding toward him. “Linnie.”

“Why are you here, Jeremy?” Madeline stared at the man in front of her with concern. “Didn’t I tell you to rest in the hospital?”

Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand with excitement shining in his eyes. “It’s Lillian. Our daughter’s still alive, Linnie.”

Madeline was shocked. “How did you know?”

“Felipe told me himself.” Jeremy then relayed the incident of how Felipe had visited him in the hospital moments ago.

Madeline understood what was going on in no time.

Felipe had been using Lillian’s safety to threaten her this whole time, but now that Lillian had been saved from him, he lost his bargaining chip. This was why he decided to tell Jeremy, so that Jeremy would come and risk his life in Felipe’s place.

Felipe’s hatred for Jeremy was evident from such an act. He would not think twice before throwing Jeremy into harm’s way in hopes for the latter to die in the process of taking Lillian back.

Jeremy was well aware of this fact.

While Yorick had no interest in watching the couple reunite, he adored his little brother Fabian enough to not interfere. Hence, he turned and left first.

Madeline then told Jeremy of how Lillian had first been kidnapped by Meredith.

A cold glint shone in Jeremy’s peach blossom eyes as he took in Madeline’s words. “Meredith Crawford is Felicity Walker? She didn’t die?”

The truth fueled the flames of fury within Jeremy.

He could not believe that Meredith, the heinous woman, was still alive and well with plans to tear his family apart.

As of that moment, Jeremy found himself more worried about whether Meredith had hurt Lillian after she kidnapped his daughter.

“Relax. I promised the pretty lady that I’ll bring her daughter back safe and sound, so I will. Please wait, I will contact you.” Fabian promised before leaving with the group of people in tow.

The next day, Madeline received a call from Fabian. “My lady? We’ve got her.”

Madeline and Jeremy immediately made their way to the location Fabian gave them. In a basketball cap and a mask, Meredith was currently walking out of an apartment with a bag of unknown contents.

“Go with him and follow Meredith, Linnie. I’ll search her room for Lillian.” Jeremy then reminded Madeline just before he alighted. “Don’t overexert yourself, Linnie.”

Madeline nodded and followed Fabian in stalking Meredith.

Jeremy called not too long later to tell her that Lillian was not in Meredith’s apartment.

Madeline was about to guess where Meredith had hidden Lillian when she watched Meredith alight the car on the outskirts of town. She had pulled out tools to dig the soil with.

A horrifying thought popped up in Madeline’s mind. She immediately got out of the car and ran toward Meredith who was still digging the hole.

Hearing footsteps growing near, Meredith turned to look only to have her wrist tugged by a strong force while her mask and cap were pulled off.

“So it is you, Meredith! Why can’t you just leave us alone? Where did you bring my daughter? Tell me!”

Although she was shocked, Meredith gave an evil smile. “I knew you’d follow me, Eveline Montgomery.

You want to know where your daughter is? Look inside the bag and you’ll know.”
