Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686

At Whitman Manor.

In the end, Jeremy made the police report and the cops showed up immediately to start the investigation. Coupled with the confession given by the old master after he was conscious, the cops were confident that those two robbers had already been planning it for a long time.

The cops came to Madeline to reaffirm the event that was going to take place that night and Madeline nodded in agreement.

Jeremy heard Madeline’s answer from behind and spun around to face her. “Don’t go, Linnie.”

Even though he was unsure who the people who had kidnapped Karen were, he still found it weird that the kidnappers demanded only Madeline be present to hand over the ransom.

Madeline lowered her gaze to face him and said, “Don’t you think that those who kidnapped your mom are also holding a grudge against me?”

“That’s one possibility, so I can’t have you risk your life,” said Jeremy, determined.

Following his senses, he reached out to Madeline’s hand. “I can’t risk having you meet with any more accidents, Linnie.”

“I’ll only be in trouble if I don’t identify the criminals behind this.” Madeline was determined as well. “I must go. It’s not to rescue your mom but to protect myself.”

Then, she released Jeremy’s hand and sauntered to the cops who were getting the things ready.

Jeremy felt the emptiness in his palm and also felt his heart sink.

He knew that Madeline agreed to hand in the cash all just so she could save Karen.

That night, with a bag full of cash, Madeline headed out to the designated destination.

There was a bracelet equipped with GPS on her wrist. It was specifically made by Jackson for her. She also brought along some mini-sized weapons for defense.

The police force was also keeping track of Madeline’s location.

Madeline drove her car to the destination and carried the bag full of cash to a deserted area.

Looking ahead, there were only trees in her field of vision and not a single person was present.

“Near the east side of the city. There are only old buildings waiting to be demolished there. There are no more people staying there.”

Jeremy turned to face Winston. “Bring me there, quick! I can’t afford to let anything happen to Linnie.”

Seeing Jeremy all determined and worried, Winston no longer hesitated. After all, besides Madeline, they had to save Karen as well.

…

Karen was famished for an entire day. Finally, Yvonne threw cold bread to Karen like she was giving food to the beggars.

Karen clenched her teeth, not willing to eat it.

“Wow, I didn’t expect you to have some backbone.” Yvonne snorted. She looked at the time. “It’s almost half an hour since they left. Why aren’t they back yet? That means Madeline is not planning to bring the cash here to save you. Just see for yourself! She’s not willing to come here to save you. She really wants you to be dead!”

Karen was horrified and gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. “Madeline, you won’t even come and hand over the ransom. You—”

Just when she was complaining in dissatisfaction, the sealed door suddenly flung open. Karen lifted her head and was shocked at the sight.
