Chapter 2027
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âYou⦠Eveline, why are you here?â Bewildered, Fabian stared at Madeline. He did not know how long she had been standing there.
Madeline looked at Fabian with a serious look on her face. âWho was that on the phone? What happened to Lily? How do you know Carter Gray?â
Madeline questioned and walked up to Fabian.
The flame in her gaze glinted piercingly, shooting a terrifying power that would make peopleâs hearts shiver.
âFabian, tell me, where is my daughter? How do you know Carter Gray?â
When Fabian heard what Madeline said, he stood there dazedly in silence. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but he did not speak.
Upon seeing Fabian in such a state, suddenly, Madeline gradually came to a realization.
âI understand now. I finally understand.â As realization emerged in Madelineâs mind, her expression grew more and more serious. âItâs Carter, isnât it? Heâs the one whoâs inciting disharmony between us.
Thatâs why youâve suddenly been acting like this toward me and Jeremy.â
When he heard what Madeline said, Fabian denied it.
âThis has nothing to do with him! â
Fabian quickly lifted his eyes and looked straight into Madelineâs eyes. His gaze suddenly changed.
âIsnât it true that Jeremy went undercover to stay by Lana so he could collect evidence? Isnât it true that he used my trust in you to successfully destroy my brotherâs company and indirectly prompted Ryan to kill Lana?â
Listening to Fabianâs accusations which brimmed with rancor, Made line calmly listened and spoke calmly.
â I donât want to repeat this, Fabian, I know youâre not irrational, and I also know that in your heart, you know exactly how your brother and sister died.
â It doesnât matter if you hate me or if you want to seek revenge against me. Thatâs a different matter. I just want to know my daughterâs situation now. â
After Madeline finished speaking calmly, she observed the changes in Fabianâs expression, and then she asked.
âDid Carter abduct Lily when I came to you in the afternoon? Itâs not that you donât allow me to see her.
In fact, you canât let me see her because you donât even know where Lily is now.â
Madeline accurately analyzed Fabianâs thoughts. Indeed, he had no choice.
Catching sight of the frustration that flashed across Fabianâs eyes, Madeline felt a little grateful instead.
âFabian, nothing has actually changed. You still regard me as a friend in the deepest part of your heart.â
Fabian was stumped when he heard this, but he quickly denied it.
âEveline, donât try to use this method to win back my trust in you and my fondness for you. I wonât believe you again, and I stopped regarding you and Jeremy as my friend a long time ago.â
Fabianâs tone was cold, but at the same time, he also promised.
âIâve lost Lillian, so I must find her, but I might not let you take her away.â
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Madeline did not chase after him. She knew Fabian would not listen to her at the present.
However, she was indeed worried about Lillianâs current situation.
She did not tell Jeremy about Carter abducting Lillian. She was worried that he would get worried and get on a plane to F Country.
She called Jeremy and told him that Fabian was still refusing to let her see their daughter without mentioning the rest.
Madeline had stayed in F Country for three years before. Thanks to Felipe, she had met a lot of people from the upper class here and she knew a lot of people with reputations and statuses. As such, she immediately called those friends who could help her find Lillian.
Night fell upon F Country.
The night, without the warm comfort of the sun, was very cold, the type of cold that was also damp.
After finishing her dinner quietly, Lilian sat quietly and obediently next to Shirley the whole time.
