Hunting for His EX-Wife

Rose fastened her seatbelt and the sports car sped off like lightning, the cold wind blowing in through the half-open window clearing her mind a little. She was trembling with nervousness and fear, her lips quivering as she asked, “Will the kids be okay?”

Elliot’s expression was cold and serious as he reached out to hold Rose’s hand. “They’ll be fine. Don’t worry, Rose. I’m here.”

Perhaps comforted by his words, Rose calmed down a bit and remained quiet all the way until they caught up with their bodyguards’ car ahead.

Rose noticed that they had left behind the bustling city streets for open country roads lined with waist-high weeds and wildflowers growing amidst savage forests.

Ahead of them was only their bodyguard’s car; beyond that lay an endless stretch of road without any sign of Madeleine or her vehicle.

“Did we lose them? Where did they go?” The anxiety building up inside Rose turned into incessant nagging questions.

Elliot remained patient throughout it all, constantly reassuring her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, we’re still following them. They’re just up ahead.”

“It’ll be okay,” he added repeatedly.

Half an hour later, the car slowed down considerably as it hit rough terrain causing it to shake violently while Rose held onto anything she could grab for support.

“Let Rose take the call,” Madeleine said to Elliot as soon as she answered, without any small talk.

“What are you planning, Madeleine? It would be best if you stopped now while there haven’t been any serious consequences yet. Don’t engage in these illegal activities,” Elliot said with impatience, his tone carrying a hint of serious warning.

Madeleine laughed wildly at this warning from Elliot which even Rose heard clearly beside him.

She pointed at Elliot’s phone indicating he should put it on speakerphone mode so they could hear what Madeleine had to say next.

Rose hesitated for a moment before taking it over. “Rose.”

“Hi there,” came Madeleine’s voice from the other end of line. “Surprised? Your kids are in my hands.”

“Can you guess where I’m taking them?”

“Madeleine, are you out of your mind?! Do you know what you’re doing? This is kidnapping!” Rose hadn’t anticipated that Madeleine would act so recklessly and take away her child.

“Kidnapping? Hah, you think it’s just kidnapping? I haven’t even started yet. And knowing you’re following me, what difference does it make? Since you won’t let me live in peace, I won’t let you either. Today, you’ll witness your beloved children dying with me, and you’ll be helpless. How do you feel about that?”

“Oh, by the way, Elliot is there too. Everything is falling into place nicely. You’ll watch me take your children to their deaths, and you won’t be able to do a thing. Isn’t that a beautiful scenario?”

Madeleine has gone completely crazy.

“You… you can’t do this!” Rose panicked at her words. Her complexion drained of all color, and her bitten lips oozed blood, giving off a metallic scent, leaving Rose disoriented and panicked.

“Madeleine, children are innocent. They are still young. If you have a problem with me, come at me directly. Don’t involve them!”

As soon as Rose shouted these words, her phone was snatched away by Elliot next to her. “Madeleine, calm down first. Tell me what’s going on.”

“Ha-ha, do you have time to see me now? Shall I tell you? Elliot, are you feeling anxious now?” After speaking, it seemed that something occurred to her and she coldly questioned, “Do you know that Shawn is not your son?”

Elliot and Rose looked at each other and admitted, “Yes. I know.”

“I knew it! You refused to marry me, and now that Rose is back, you’re involved with her again. Is she really better than me in any way? What do I lack compared to her?”

Madeleine quickly turned the steering wheel, causing the tires to screech and sparks to fly as she accelerated rapidly.

Elliot could seemingly hear the extremely fast speed of her car through the phone.

“Madeleine, please calm down first.”

“Calm down my ass! I can’t calm down! Since you want to be together, fine, I’ll give you a gift that you’ll never forget in your life. I wish you both will never have a smooth life. Hahaha!”

“Okay, we’ve arrived at our destination. Hurry up and come, I’m really looking forward to seeing you.” The laughter ended and Madeleine’s voice came again, making it even more terrifying.

The three children sitting tightly behind her in the car looked serious, with Leah covering her mouth and sobbing, filled with fear and unease. Khalil and Sean sat on one side, protecting Leah in the middle.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Upon hearing Madeleine’s words, they knew that their mom and dad were following behind them. They breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that they couldn’t let their guard down in the current situation.

This woman wanted to take them all to their deaths just to keep her and their parents apart!

Khalil blinked as his mind raced with countless strategies on their journey, while Sean also observed their surroundings. Sitting in a business car or a locked car, there was little chance of escape.

And their car had reached the edge of a cliff on a hillside, with the front of the car sticking out over the cliff. Madeleine in the driver’s seat hit the brakes, while Shawn in the passenger seat next to her was sound asleep and completely unaware.

When they were brought out, they all took sleeping pills and fell asleep. However, because Khalil had a special antidote, the three siblings woke up while Shawn was still sleeping.

Along the way, Madeleine didn’t pay much attention to the three children in the back seat. Even if she noticed they were awake, she probably wouldn’t care. The three children were too young and even if they wanted to do something, they couldn’t escape her control.

Their only hope now is Elliot and Rose behind them.

Meanwhile, Elliot ordered more bodyguards to come along the way, while Rose also called the police.

When Rose saw a business car’s front end teetering over the cliff, her face turned pale, and she stumbled out of the car towards it.
