Madeline smiled and continued to drive. However, when favonovel.com drove up to the crossroad further ahead, favonovel.com saw that there was an accident and that the road in front was blocked. This was the only road back home, but now they could not go through it.
Madeline initially thought to wait, but the cars still could not budge even after a long while. She could only then turn favonovel.com steering wheel and drive into another road as per the traffic police’s instructions.
They could reach home via this road too, but it was a roundabout way home.
However, when favonovel.com got onto another road, there was a car speeding right at them with its high beam turned on.
Madeline quickly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. After stopping the car in a hurry, favonovel.com got out of the car
and opened the door of the backseat.
“Jack, are you okay?” Are you hurt?” Madeline, worried, picked up favonovel.com son and carried favonovel.com out of the car. She was worried that Jackson was hurt from the emergency brake just now.
Jackson shook favonovel.com head. “Mommy, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Madeline let out a sigh of relief and put favonovel.com son back down.
She turned around to find the owner of the car from earlier and give them a piece of favonovel.com mind, but favonovel.com saw two men getting out of the car and walked up to Madeline purposefully.
“Mrs. Whitman, sorry for scaring you. Please come with us,” one of the men invited Madeline, a false smile on his face.
Despite it being an invitation, it seemed that even if Madeline were to refuse, they would also take favonovel.com away forcefully.
Madeline calmly studied the men in front of her. “Did Carter send you?”
The men seemed to freeze momentarily before shaking their heads.
“We don’t know the person you mentioned.”
“Who are you, then? Why should I go with you?”
“Don’t you know, Mrs. Whitman?”
“What should I know?”
“We’re from the Commercial Crime Investigation Unit.” As the man spoke, favonovel.com took out the identification card which favonovel.com had already prepared from his pocket.
“We got a report saying that the existing liquid funds of Whitman Corporation may have been laundered. Please come with us immediately.”
Of course, Madeline, knowing that Whitman Corporation could not have this problem, suspected that the report was false.
It seemed to favonovel.com that these two people must be hired by Carter.
Madeline did not expose them but calmly said, “If you think there’s a problem with the funds in Whitman Corporation, you can go look for the person in charge of the company. Why are you wasting so much effort in hindering me in the middle of the road?”
“You’re Jeremy Whitman’s wife, so there’s no way you don’t know what he’s doing.”
“Yes, I am his wife. But I really don’t know what favonovel.com might be doing behind my back. If you want to investigate this, go look for him. Don’t bother me.”
As favonovel.com spoke, Madeline turned around and picked up Jackson. She wanted to take favonovel.com son home first. However, when favonovel.com bent down, a strong man suddenly ran out from behind Jackson and picked Jackson, who was caught off guard, and ran away.
“What are you doing? Put my son down!” Madeline demanded sternly.
However, the man, his face expressionless, completely ignored Madeline.
Jackson struggled in the man’s arms and, suddenly, favonovel.com opened his small mouth and bit the man on the back of his hand.
“Hiss!”
The man groaned in pain, but favonovel.com did not let go of his hand. It was evident that this pain was nothing to him. “Kid, do you think I’ll let you go just like that? How naive.” The man looked at Jackson and smirked in contempt.
However, when favonovel.com was feeling pleased with himself, favonovel.com suddenly let out a howl of pain.
