So, that person would never give Hunter a chance to save Madison.
Madison feared that when Hunter noticed something, she would already be dead.
Her gaze was stern. She couldn’t die. She couldn’t let those people go unpunished!
Because of the excessive tugging, the joints in her body kept popping. Enduring the pain, Madison continued her work.
It was a pitch-black environment, so she was her only rescue.
After driving along for a while, the car finally stopped.
Madison had hidden the blade early on.
She had a feeling that she could finally meet that person.
No matter how outstanding they were, they would appear right before their enemy died. They would gloat about their victory in their enemy’s face.
Someone opened the trunk. A cold wind rushed in, bringing the unique scent of the sea with it.
They were by the sea.
As expected, the mastermind wanted Madison to die the way Jodie did.
The cold air dispersed the moldy smell in the trunk. Madison felt her mind getting a little clearer.
She shouted anxiously on purpose, “Who are you? Let me go!”
It was true that she was anxious, but she convinced herself to stay calm. Only by staying calm could she spot an opening.
Ryan’s familiar voice sounded. “Ms. Evans, you’ve always wanted to know how Jodie died, right? Why don’t I tell you myself?”
Madison felt another piece of rope hanging around her neck. Ryan’s voice was no longer the gentlemanly voice he had when they first met.
Instead, it sounded like a venomous snake hissing in her ear.
“She died from getting strangled, just like this. By the way, the expression on her face was just like yours before she died. She kept struggling with her limbs.
“She wanted to call for help with all her might, but she couldn’t even form a complete sentence. She could only look at me in fear and despair. Then, she slowly lost her breath.”
In the darkness, Madison’s senses were sharpened. Ryan’s voice allowed her imagination to run wild.
She felt like she could sense the despair Jodie felt before she died. She could also feel the helplessness as Jodie’s life slowly ebbed away.
“My dad wasn’t the person who killed Jodie!”
Everything she did had been right all along. Jeff was a good man, so he couldn’t have done such horrible things.
“The child in her tummy did belong to your father.”
“You beasts! What have the Evanss ever done to you? You didn’t even show mercy to a pregnant woman!”
Madison’s tears fell uncontrollably. If that child hadn’t died, would she have a younger sibling?
In all the years Chloe was gone, Madison hoped that Jeff would find another woman he loved.
“He did nothing wrong,” Madison thought.
She said, “Jodie is Hunter’s biological sister. If he knew the truth, he wouldn’t let you off the hook!”
“Hah.” Ryan sneered in disdain. “If he knew the truth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place.”
Madison fell silent. Leia was like an untouchable wound on Hunter’s heart.
He was already upset whenever Madison mentioned Leia to him. So, it was even less likely that he would reinvestigate the matter.
Every time Leia was mentioned, the wound in Hunter’s heart would be reopened. If the incident had to be reinvestigated, it would be like rubbing salt in his wound.
“Why? Why would you do this?” Madison lowered her head in defeat.
“You only have yourself to blame.”
Madison thought, “Me? What did I do?”
“Your existence is your biggest mistake.”
Ryan picked her up. Putting her on his shoulder like a sack, he walked away.
Madison had been feeling sick after getting locked up for so long. When he carried her like that, her dizziness only worsened. Her stomach was churning.
The sound of the sea breeze gradually turned soft. They must be indoors now. It felt like a spacious room as well, for she could hear Ryan’s voice clearly.
Her body was tossed to the ground. Madison felt that she had hit something and that something moved. She realized that she was at the feet of a person.
“Is this person the mastermind?” she wondered.
At that thought, all the blood in Madison’s body seemed to have rushed to her head. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
Various complex emotions surged in her heart.
Madison said in hatred, “Are you the one pulling the strings behind the scenes? You caused the Evanss to go bankrupt, and now my dad is dying in the hospital because of you!”
She sensed someone crouching down. Then, a hand lifted her chin. A genderless voice rang out. “It’s me.”
The person’s voice was deliberately disguised so that it couldn’t be distinguished. But when the person tilted Madison’s chin with their fingers, Madison caught a faint scent of herbs.
Madison had only studied modern medicine, so she had little knowledge of herbal medicine. She wasn’t able to tell what kind of herbs she was smelling or even if it was a mixture of several herbs.
“Do you plan to kill me?” Madison asked directly.
“Your life is not in my hands.”
Madison frowned, confused. She didn’t understand what other motive the person would have for bringing her to a place like this.
“What do you mean?” Madison felt more uneasy after she learned that she wouldn’t be killed. If they were keeping her alive, it would surely have something to do with Hunter.
“I’m already divorced from him. I have nothing now. What else do you want from me?”
The person’s fingers tightened around Madison’s chin. Madison winced in pain, but she didn’t make a sound.
“You’re a smart woman. I can see why he likes you so much.”
The person saw through Madison’s intent to get more information out of her. She didn’t bring up a single word about her plans for Hunter.
Madison saw that the person didn’t take the bait. “With the way things are now, I know I won’t be able to leave here alive. If my guess is correct, this must be an abandoned house near the ocean. Hunter won’t be able to come here in time to save me.”
“That’s right.”
“I have one request before I die. Can you show me your face? I want to see the face of the person that brought my family to ruins.”
The fingers on Madison’s chin tightened once more. “You have no right to request anything from me.”
The person did not let up and added, “I told you, you might not be the one to die today.”
Madison wanted to say something more, but she heard the sound of a phone vibrating.
The person picked up the phone and said with a laid-back tone, “I’m just playing around. Are you mad that I hurt her?”
The room was quiet. Madison thought she heard the voice of a man coming from the other end of the phone. Before she could listen closely, the person let go of her chin.
The person walked away to continue their conversation on the phone. Madison could hear the nonchalance in that person’s tone. It was as if Madison’s life had no value to them.
Madison tried to calm herself. She was blindfolded, so she couldn’t inspect her surroundings. She didn’t dare to break through the ropes around her hands.
She held onto the pen knife in her palm tightly. Even if she didn’t walk out of here today, she was determined to go down with that person.
