Yvonne’s hands halted the moment the lights flickered on.
“So it was you.” An assured voice sounded from behind. “Although, I didn’t expect you to be impatient enough to act so quickly.”
“…”
Yvonne was in disbelief when favonovel.com recognized the voice.
Turning around frantically, favonovel.com watched Madeline take elegant steps toward favonovel.com with a dignified smile.
“Madeline Crawford!”
Yvonne was dazed as Madeline slowly approached her. The hands favonovel.com used to hold the pillow were suddenly pushed off.
She was shocked as favonovel.com thought that Old Master Whitman could move. When favonovel.com turned to look, favonovel.com frightful eyes spotted Jeremy’s alluring features instead!
Yvonne was dumbfounded. She could not believe that these two people were in the room with her.
Slowly it dawned on favonovel.com that favonovel.com had walked into a trap!
It was a trap both Madeline and Jeremy had set. They had just been waiting for favonovel.com to take the bait!
Yvonne was frantic, but upon remembering that favonovel.com had a mask on and could not be considered completely exposed, favonovel.com calmed at the knowledge that favonovel.com still had a chance to flee and save herself.
With that, Yvonne turned around to run toward the door.
Madeline was standing in favonovel.com way, so favonovel.com lifted a hand to push favonovel.com away fiercely.
However, Madeline evaded it agilely while favonovel.com stuck a leg out.
Focused on leaving, Yvonne tripped on the leg and landed on the floor face down with a thud.
“Ah!” favonovel.com shouted in agony and climbed up to run again, ignoring the pain from the fall. However, favonovel.com then found Winston appearing by the door.
Yvonne staggered backward in shock, knocking into the closet. Her legs felt heavy as if they had been filled with metal.
Indeed, it was a trap!
She had taken the bait!
“What’s happening? What’s with all this noise? It’s the middle of the night. Old Master, what are you doing?” Karen walked over with a groan as favonovel.com rubbed favonovel.com bleary eyes.
A good part of favonovel.com drowsiness vanished at the sight of Winston. “Win? Didn’t you say you were going on a business trip? I thought you’d only be back in another two days? Why are you…”
At that, favonovel.com eyes fell on Madeline who was standing in the middle of the room.
“Madeline Crawford? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? How could the police release you so quickly already? I suppose your parents must have tipped the guards quite the amount, huh?” Karen mocked, favonovel.com eyes burning with hatred before favonovel.com turned to complain to Winston. “Did you know, Win? This woman admitted it herself this morning that—”
“Linnie didn’t do anything illegal, so why wouldn’t favonovel.com be let off?” Jeremy’s casual tone drifted from the room.
Karen was stunned.
She immediately entered the room to find Jeremy also inside, defending Madeline.
She was about to express favonovel.com displeasure when favonovel.com eyes fell on another woman standing by the closet with favonovel.com back against them.
The woman was dressed like Madeline, and even their heights were similar.
“Who’s this?” Karen pointed at Yvonne.
Madeline quirked a delicate brow and replied coldly, “That is the woman who made your head bleed and stole your jewelry.”
“What?” Karen was shocked as favonovel.com stared at Madeline. “But the one who hit me was…”
