Chapter 305 In Danger Again

Nancy twisted the bottle cap but did not drink from the bottle.

Why didn’t Brian contact the police? Why? Are they in cahoots with Suzette? No… That’s impossible!

“My mother-in-law loves me. She’s not going to let that happen to me.”

“Mrs. Hann, you can contact me again once you come to terms with the truth,” Madeline said. She indicated to Albert to open the door. Next to their car was another car that would bring Nancy to her destination.

“Thank you.” Nancy could tell that there was some motive behind Madeline rescuing her. However, if Madeline had not saved her, James and Suzette would have killed her, and for that, she was truly grateful.

After the other car left with Nancy inside, Albert asked Madeline, “Do you think Mrs. Hann will come back to us?”

If Madeline had played Brian’s recording for Nancy, Nancy would have had to accept the harsh truth.

Albert was worried if Nancy would still be alive by tomorrow.

“She’s an intelligent woman. We should trust in her,” Madeline said with an ambiguous smile.

Suddenly, she received a message on her phone. She thought it was from the children, but when she checked on her phone, the message was from Noah.

“I was so sad when I woke up and didn’t see you next to me.”

“I didn’t sleep well last night because you weren’t by my side.”

“Don’t you care about me?”

He’s back to his old self again, Madeline thought, though she could not help but smile.

“Be a good boy,” she replied.

Meanwhile, Dylan rolled his eyes when he saw Noah grinning like an idiot. Just a few seconds ago, Noah was raging because he had woken him up.

“Noah, half of your brain cells go on strike whenever you interact with Maddie. You look like an idiot now.”

“If you want to be banished to the mines so much, you can just tell me.” Noah put away the phone, and at the same time, the smile on his face vanished.

“Of course not!” Dylan waved his hands. He continued, “The antidote is only available in Trenton’s lab. What should we do?”

“We borrow. If we can’t borrow, we buy. If we can’t buy, we steal. If we can’t steal, we rob the lab. If we can’t rob the lab, we blow it up,” Noah said through gritted teeth. Now, he was very sure that Trenton was the one who put that thing into Madeline’s body.

He wondered what relationship Trenton had with Lone Wolf, such that Lone Wolf would poison Madeline multiple times under his bidding.

Dylan shrugged dismissively. He knew that Noah would always get what he wanted. It did not matter who Trenton was; he would have to yield to him.

In any case, blowing up Trenton’s lab sounded fun.

After all, Trenton used his laboratory for evil, even though it was very advanced and well-equipped.

The medicine that Dylan was researching could alleviate Madeline’s symptoms temporarily, but he had to find another long-term solution. The best outcome would be to steal the antidote from Trenton, then blow up his lab.

Meanwhile, as Nancy sat in the car, she thought carefully about what Madeline had told her. She did not order the driver to return to the Hann family or the Trench family residence. Instead, she wanted to be dropped at an apartment complex some distance away.

At the entrance of the apartment complex, she noticed a young man coming out of a taxi and walking aimlessly toward the gates. Tears immediately fell from her eyes.

When the young man noticed her, he ran over and hugged her. “Nancy! You’ve finally come to visit me!”

“Didn’t I tell you to move to another country? Why didn’t you leave?” Nancy wailed loudly as she thumped the young man’s chest.

The young man picked her up in a bridal carry. He felt sorry for her when he saw the scars on her body.

The driver immediately contacted Madeline. “Ms. Madeline, Nancy Trench has a secret lover.”

“Investigate him,” Madeline said while glancing at Albert. That way, things were a lot easier.

The young man brought Nancy into his apartment and tended to her wounds. “We should go to the hospital,” he said.

“No, I can’t go to the hospital now,” Nancy said while absent-mindedly shaking her head.

The young man took her hand and gave her support. “Tell me what happened, Nancy.”

“Brian’s mistress wants to replace me in the Hann family. I was missing for an entire day, and no one in the Hann family contacted the police!”

“That b*stard! I’ll kill him!” The young man stood up impulsively when he heard that. He was not going to let anyone harm the woman he cared for.

Nancy pulled him back. “We shouldn’t act so rashly. There’s no evidence that they did it, and I can’t do anything to them.”

“So what do you intend to do, Nancy?” the young man said with a frown.

The fear on Nancy’s face was replaced by a determined savagery. “If that’s how the Hann family treats me, I don’t think I should grant them any mercy. I want Brian’s life and the entire Hann Corp.”

Even though Nancy had fallen out with Brian, her in-laws treated her as their own daughter. As someone who had lost her parents at a young age, Nancy treated them as her own parents and remained at the Hann family residence to take care of them.

Her conscience did not allow her to make her in-laws sad, so she had always rejected the young man’s advances and even wanted to send him abroad.

It turned out that her in-laws had only been using her as a tool, and she was too stupid to see that.

“I’ll do whatever you ask me to, Nancy,” the young man said while hugging Nancy tightly.

Suddenly, thick smoke poured out from the bedroom. Sensing danger, she stopped the young man from going to the bedroom to check, and instead headed for the front door.

However, the door could not be opened. Someone had locked it from the outside.

“It’s them! They’ve found out where I am!” Flustered, Nancy grabbed the young man’s arm.

No one knew that she had bought an apartment unit here. Could the driver from earlier have betrayed her?

No, that can’t be. Madeline wanted me to agree to her deal. It doesn’t make sense if she wants me dead after saving me.

“Step aside, Nancy. I’ll break the lock.” The young man returned from the kitchen with a cleaver.

However, the fire in the bedroom grew in intensity and spread to the living room.

“Go to the window! I can’t breathe!” Nancy dragged the young man to the window, but the window was locked as well.

The young man slapped himself. “It’s all my fault! This wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t upgrade the security system here!”

He thought someone had hacked into the apartment unit’s security system and used the robot in the bedroom to set the house on fire. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Don’t say that. I don’t blame you.” Nancy held the young man’s cheeks and kissed him gently.

If this is how I’m going to die, it looks like I can only haunt the Hann family as a ghost.

Just when she was about to close her eyes and resign herself to fate, the glass window shattered with a loud crash. A figure jumped in from the outside and fastened a safety harness on Nancy.

“Ms. Madeline?” Nancy covered her mouth in shock.

“We meet again, Ms. Trench. I hope our cooperation will benefit the both of us,” Madeline said and winked at her. She hugged her and prepared to jump out of the window.

“Wait, Ms. Madeline! Please save him…” Nancy did not let go of the young man’s hand.

The young man tossed her hand away and said sincerely, “You should go, Nancy. Don’t worry about me.”

“Okay. Someone will be here to save you,” Madeline interrupted the romantic scene.

“You’re no fun at all, Maddie,” a childish voice was heard.

Madeline was already out of the window with Nancy. “Follow up, Li’l Sixteen!”
