Chapter 509
Jeremy noticed that something was wrong with Madeline’s face. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Madeline looked at him displeased. “You know clearly in your heart what you’ve done.”
Jeremy frowned lightly. He did not understand what Madeline meant.
“Where did you take Jack?”
Madeline’s subsequent questioning confused Jeremy even more. “Linnie, what are you talking about? When did I even take Jack away?”
“Jeremy, you just have to trouble me, don’t you? Are you just so happy when you see me worried or sad?”
“I really don’t know what happened.” Jeremy looked at Madeline with confusion. “Linnie, first tell me what happened.”
“Jeremy, you’ve been with Meredith for a long time now and your acting skills have gotten quite good as well,” Madeline said sarcastically, then stepped on the accelerator before driving to the gate of the kindergarten where Jackson was studying.
While on the way, Jeremy had repeatedly wanted to understand the reason behind Madeline’s anger, but Madeline just ignored him.
When the car stopped, he saw a worried-looking Ava who was standing at the entrance of the kindergarten. He had vaguely guessed something.
As soon as Ava saw Jeremy, she rushed at him in anger while tactlessly reprimanding, “Jeremy, you scumbag! If you’re any bit human, you should return Maddie’s child to her!”
Jeremy’s handsome face was cold, but he was not angry, just more confused. “Even if I were to be sentenced to death, the very least you should tell me is what crime I’ve committed.”
“Jeremy, why are you still pretending?” Ava laughed coldly. “I had just come to pick up Maddie’s child from school, but the head teacher said Mr. Whitman asked someone to pick up the child!”
Jeremy’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, and the frequency of his heartbeat was suddenly disturbed.
After the head teacher learned that Jeremy had not instructed anyone to pick Jackson up, she panicked.
She recalled the situation earlier and said, “The woman did say that Mr. Whitman had asked her to pick Jackson up. I saw that Jackson knew her, so I didn’t doubt it.”
“Jack knows that woman?” Madeline and the others were quite surprised.
The head teacher nodded repeatedly before taking them into the monitor room to watch the video at the gate.
In the surveillance video, a slightly plump woman had appeared at the gate of the kindergarten wearing a mask and hat. Not long after, Jackson, carrying a small school bag, walked toward her.
Jackson had looked at the woman, seemingly examining her a few times before nodding and leaving with the woman.
Madeline stared at the woman on the surveillance screen and immediately confirmed. “It’s Rose.”
