Leo sounded seriously pis sed off. His face was all grim and angry.

What made his mood worse was Madison’s next move.

Madison grabbed the edge of Cullen’s shirt and said in a tipsy tone, “Cullen, I don’t want to see him. He’s evil.

Her voice and aggrieved and helpless look made her pitiful.

Sadly, Madison was playing cute to Cullen. Therefore, Leo felt Madison was. undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Leo frowned deeply, and everyone could sense his impatience and anger.

Leo looked coldly at Cullen and questioned, “Why are you still here? Are you waiting for Ronnie to come here to look for you?”

Leo vent his anger at Cullen because he could not do that to Madison, who appeared to be a drunkard now, and Cullen knew about it. Cullen asked, “What about her if I leave now?”

Leo sneered and replied, “She is still my wife before we both sign the divorce certificate.”

Leo implied that Madison was more dangerous with other men.

Cullen would have left without a second thought if anything had happened. However, he felt worried because he received some news and realized someone was watching Madison.

Nonetheless, Cullen trusted Leo.

After a brief pause, Cullen fixed a serious gaze on Leo and said, “I’m heading out, but let me be straight with you before I go. There’s something you might not be aware of…”

Madison cried, “Cullen, don’t go!”

Before Cullen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Madison’s anxious crying.

She was on the verge of tears and grabbed Cullen’s shirt tightly, her voice trembling uncontrollably. “Please save me. He’ll take me and throw me into the sea to feed the fish! I can’t run away. I’ll die!”

Madison stared intently at Cullen as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying. She pleaded pitifully and helplessly.

Leo frowned deeper when he saw the scene. He could not help but pull away Madison’s hand that was grabbing Cullen’s clothes.

However, Madison covered her head with her hands and shrunk back before Leo could.

touch her.

She begged, “Don’t hit me. Please don’t hit me…”

Madison’s memories rushed into her mind. I’m in so much pain that I feel I’m dying

because of it.

‘By the time I was thrown into the snow, I was bruised from the beating. I was cold and in pain.

‘Fortunately, I put on many thick winter clothes. The criminals felt that it was too troublesome to take them off, so they straightly hit me with sticks.

‘It hurt too much. I could do nothing but to protect my head.

‘I couldn’t run away. They hit me harder once they found out I tried to run.

‘My

‘I don’t want to die like this.

“No. My life can’t end that way.

‘Hide. I should hide away. I can escape if they can’t find me!

Hence, Madison curled up in a corner and tried to hide herself. She looked around. warily.

Leo had never seen Madison like this.

He thought, ‘Madison becomes confident and even arrogant after returning to the country. I’ve never seen this side of her.

Leo failed to figure out the reasons. At this time, Cullen spoke, “That’s what I was going to tell you. She was kidnapped overseas, and those criminals claimed them.”

Before Cullen could finish, Leo immediately denied, “I didn’t.”

people to kidnap Madison!

‘But it looks like my presence triggers Madison’s most haunting memory.”

Cullen glanced at Leo and replied, “I didn’t say it was you. We’ve been friends for so many years. Don’t I know what kind of person you are?”

Cullen thought, “We won’t be friends if I don’t trust Cullen.”

Leo glanced down at Madison, who was crouched underground, and his heart sank. He muttered. “But she believed it.”

Cullen replied, “Because she’s different.”

Cullen had a similar experience so that he could resonate with Madison.

However, his experience was different from Madison’s.

The kidnappers who took away Cullen merely wanted money, so they did not do anything to him. They even provided Cullen with good food and drinks.

The ones who kidnapped Madison tried to take her life.

Madison had to bear a grudge against someone after suffering inhumane torture.

Even if she felt that Leo would not do that, she knew it had something to do with him.

Subconsciously, Leo was dangerous to Madison.

Cullen sighed and said, “I think you should be the one leaving now. She’s drunk right. now, and every time she sees you, she’ll think of those painful memories. You’d better disappear before her. Does that make sense?”

Cullen knew those words were hurtful, but he had to say it.

However, Cullen could not say what was right or wrong about this matter.

He thought, ‘One is my friend who is forced to get married, and the other is my childhood sweetheart who almost lost her chastity to criminals. I’m biased for both of them. The one in the wrong is the person who hired the kidnappers.

Leo thought of the same thing. He asked, “Do you think we can find any clues if we investigate now?”

Cullen could not guarantee it, so he replied, “I’ll try my best.”

Cullen thought, ‘After all, we have nothing for now. Moreover, all information about Madison overseas was tampered with. We know nothing about the time and place!

Chapter 75

However, Cullen had a candidate for suspect. He said, “Well. Leo, could it be that the woman you fell for?”

Leo knew who Cullen was talking about and thus interrupted, “Don’t slander anyone. without evidence.”

Cullen was frustrated and said, “Alright, alright. Your sweetheart is kind and innocent. Jessica might have accidentally provoked someone overseas. It has nothing to do with

anyone.

He cursed

deserved it!’

Leo’s gaze

de. No wonder Jessica believed that Leo hired those criminals. He

gaze was locked on Madison. His sharp brows furrowed even tighter when he saw her curled up like a puppy.

Leo thought, Sally Hale. Yeah. That name appears in my mind.

‘However, how did Sally find someone overseas to kidnap Madison? The Hale family is not that capable.

‘Without evidence, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

Leo cast those thoughts out of his head and said coldly to Cullen, “You go talk to Ronnie. Leave Madison to me.”

Cullen almost jumped up. He retorted, “She is scared of you. How can you…”

Cullen stopped abruptly when he saw Leo bend down and pick up Madison on the ground.

Madison had five glasses of coc ktails and was now completely sloshed.

She cried and laughed, and her b*dy was exhausted to the limit. She fell asleep when she tried to hide herself and cried on the ground.

There were tears on her face, adding grievance to her bright face. She was less stubborn and more delicate.

Madison nestled in Leo’s arms like a sleeping puppy.

Cullen could not say anything else in this situation.

Leo looked at Cullen and questioned, “Aren’t you leaving?”

Cullen replied, “Yeah. I’m leaving now!”

Cullen was filled with anger when he thought of Ronnie’s angry face.

He thought, ‘If it weren’t for Leo, I wouldn’t have to meet with my brother.’ Before he left, Cullen scolded Leo. “I’m unlucky to be your friend.”

Leo snorted and replied, “You’d better meet your brother as soon as possible. Otherwise, if your leg is broken, I’ll have to send you to the hospital.”

The two of them left Opal Heights Bar and parted ways.

Morris waited in the car for about fifteen minutes. When he turned around and saw his boss carrying Madison out, he could not help but widen his eyes.

He wondered, ‘Didn’t Leo ask me to settle the divorce procedures this morning?”

However, he did not dare to ask further and sat upright in the driver’s seat. What happened next shocked him more.

After Leo placed Madison in the backseat, Madison started to move around restlessly. Her fair hands burrowed into Leo’s suit, and her head rubbed against him.

Then, she pressed k*sses on Leo’s Adam’s apple.
