Chapter 1278
Those who tagged along with Jeremy were still searching high and low. They were feeling a bit sympathetic for him. “Jeremy, it’s getting dark. Let’s head back for now.”
“You guys go ahead.” Jeremy had no intention of stopping. He would not feel good if he failed to locate any signs of Madeline having ever appeared at this spot.
“Continuing the search like this isn’t going to lead us anywhere. Why don’t we try contacting some related organizations around here and have them help us out by getting the surveillance footage? Then, we can see whether we’ll be able to get a hint from there?”
Jeremy came back to his senses after hearing the suggestion.
Had he become dull and slow? Had he lost the ability to think straight because he was way too worried about Madeline?
Without wasting much time, Jeremy immediately went and got in touch with the local departments. Soon enough, he obtained all of the footage from the nearby road junctions.
After scanning through all the footage, Jeremy’s eyes were fixed on a silver car.
Just by looking at the car’s front view, he did not find the vehicle suspicious. However, after looking at it from a different angle, Jeremy clenched his fist as veins were seen popping out from the back of his hand.
He could clearly see from the passenger seat of the car that there was a lady winding the window down, revealing her face.
Even though Jeremy was unable to hear what the lady was saying nor clearly see what she looked like from the footage, it was almost impossible for Jeremy to miss out on Madeline’s facial features and hairstyle.
He saw Madeline looking at him. At one point, she called out to him, but at the split moment when he looked up, a man had appeared behind Madeline and covered her mouth. He yanked her into the car before winding up the window again.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy was heartbroken, and his eyes were brewing with anxiety he had for Madeline. In the next second, however, he was giving off a murderous aura.
‘It is Ryan.
‘The man who didn’t let Madeline speak is Ryan!’
Jeremy clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down and not act rashly.
“In about ten minutes, Jeremy will arrive at the villa you and your parents are in.”
She heard Ryan’s voice softly passed through her ears.
Madeline held the phone, her mind becoming all jumbled and messy.
She got up and jogged to the entrance as she looked around. Her heart started pumping hard.
‘Jeremy, did you really manage to come here?
‘But even if you really make it here, how would it possible that Ryan will allow you to meet me?’
Madeline’s emotions of anticipation suddenly faded as her tone became chilly. “Ryan, what’s your motive for telling me this?”
Ryan giggled softly as if he was impressed by Madeline’s intelligence. “I have no intentions. I just have two options for you. Pick either one.”
