Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Madeline’s vision was blurred by the rain, but she could clearly feel Jeremy’s wrath.

He grabbed her collar tightly, making Madeline almost unable to breathe.

Looking at her red face that was on the brink of suffocation, he finally let go of his hands as if he was releasing his anger. Then, he pushed her away.

Madeline gasped for air as her body was drenched in the rain.

She picked up her wet phone and saw her messages on the screen.

There was a message from an unknown sender at the top of the list. ‘The kid refuses to listen to me, so I beat him up good. He’s not making a sound now. When can you make the Whitmans pay up to get this kid back?’

When she read this message, Madeline’s brain exploded. Then, her mind went blank.

It was obviously a message about the kidnapping, but why was this message sent to her?

“Madeline, you’re really something else. You even went as far as working with a ruffian to kidnap my son. If my son is hurt in any way, I’ll slice a piece of your flesh off you.”

Madeline shuddered. When she was about to stand up, she felt debilitating pain in her stomach.

She could not stand, so she could only kneel next to Jeremy’s car while lifting her head and gritting her teeth. “Jeremy, I don’t know this person! I didn’t kidnap your son. This is slander!”

Rain fell on her face and she was in so much discomfort that she could not open her eyes.

“Slander? Did Mer slander you again? She’s using the life of her own flesh and blood to slander you again and again, huh?”

Jeremy’s eyes looked like they were hungry for blood.

“Madeline, I’m telling you now. If I don’t see my son right this second, I’ll help you accomplish your aim of accompanying your dead b*stard child!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After he warned furiously, he sped away.

The wheels picked up the rainwater and mud on the floor, splashing Madeline. The words he left her felt like a million arrows aiming for her heart.

Hiss!

Madeline clutched the part of her stomach where it hurt and bent down to curl up her body. However, she could not get any relief from the bone-piercing pain at all.

The rain was getting heavier and the cold air almost drowned Madeline’s heart.

The three years of imprisonment was not enough to make her come to a realization.

She was still so weak and fragile.

She clenched her fist and bit her lip to make herself stand.

She called Jeremy. However, not only did he not pick up, but he even hung up immediately.

Madeline’s fingers shook as she read the message about the kidnapping. She called the number immediately.

The person on the other end picked up the phone almost instantly. A man’s voice said, “Madeline, is the money ready?”

The man was asking her like it was a matter of course. Madeline’s mind went blank. However, she vaguely felt like she had heard this voice before.

“Who are you? Why did you say that?” Her heart was beating erratically.

“Madeline, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m your close friend! You’re the one who called me about this business,” the man said smoothly. “Get the money quickly. That kid is so annoying. I’m worried that I might kill him.”

When she heard that he would kill Jackson, Madeline felt a dull pain in her heart.

“Don’t hurt Jackson!” she yelled without even hesitating.

“I know, I’ll get less money if I hurt this kid. Come over quickly! I can’t wait,” the man said as he was about to hang up.

“Don’t hang up! Where are you? I’m going over now!” Madeline was scared to lose any information on Jackson, so she asked quickly.
