Chapter 589 What Did You Do to Them?

When Madeline, Thomas, and Mackenzie returned to Maple Forest Villa.

Colt was already there waiting for them.

Not only that, Bruno, Suzette, and Suzette’s lover James Lowe were there too.

Bruno was sitting on the sofa with Colt while Suzette and James were on the floor, tied up and battered.

It was obvious the latter two had been interrogated.

“You’re back, Maddie.Let me tell you, these two people are trying to set you up!”

Bruno immediately stood up as soon as he saw Madeline.

Madeline walked around him and walked toward Colt behind him.Colt went to Madeline and said, “I’m sorry, Mommy.”

“Colt! Are you okay? Why did you run away from home? Mommy was so worried about you!”

Thomas checked Colt from head to toe to ensure he was not hurt.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief and asked Colt what happened.

“We went to look for Daddy yesterday, and we saw a woman living in the house.The woman reminded me of Angie, but she didn’t look like Angie at all.I thought it was strange that Daddy was very protective of her, so I took her photo and went to look for Grandpa.”

Madeline realized that her initial reaction upon meeting Yvern was the same as that when she first met Angie.

“I didn’t think the woman in the photo looked like Angie, but Colt insists that she’s Angie.I thought I’d ask Suzette to be sure, and I accidentally overheard them talking about working with a certain Karen Pope to throw you and Noah in prison.They discovered us and tried to kill us, but it’s all thanks to him that we’re safe.”

Bruno gritted his teeth and glared at Suzette when he said Suzette wanted to kill them.

Madeline saw Lone Wolf coming out of the bathroom and smiled gratefully at him.

Lone Wolf wiped away the water droplets on his face and greeted Madeline, “Long time no see.”

“Yes.It’s about time you returned my belongings to me.”

Madeline’s smile faded a little.She had left one of the last two pieces of the puzzle with Lone Wolf back at Yashal.

The other piece was at the mountain where Eliza disappeared.

Madeline had told Lone Wolf the location, and she guessed it should be with him by now.

She thought Lone Wolf wanted to study the puzzle pieces himself, and that was why he had not handed them to her.

Unfortunately for Lone Wolf, he would not be able to discover anything no matter how he tried.

“Is that how you greet me? I’ll be very sad.”

Lone Wolf clutched his chest, pretending to look heartbroken.

Madeline rolled her eyes at him.

“What happened?”

Obviously, Lone Wolf was the one who caused the injuries to Suzette and James.

Lone Wolf shrugged and said, “It’s nothing, actually.

I wanted to look for you at the Quincy family residence, but I accidentally caught your kid running away from home, so I followed him.He went to that woman’s house, and I saved him when the woman tried to harm him.

The little fella asked me if! can make them speak, so I used a couple of tricks up my sleeve.”

You call that a couple of tricks? They’re more like war crimes! Suzette and James thought.

“What did you give him?” Madeline asked Colt, thinking that Lone Wolf would not be so kind to help the boy.

Colt lowered his head and answered guiltily, “The stealth cloak.”

Madeline patted his shoulder to comfort him.

“You don’t have to feel sad about it.It’s only a piece of clothing.Your Godfather says he’ll give us anew one.”

Lone Wolf suddenly felt betrayed.

After ordering Albert to take the children to their rooms, Madeline asked, “What did they tell you?”

“They said that the Johnson family had been keeping a close eye on everyone related to Eliza ever since her disappearance.When you married Mr.Quincy, they found Karen Pope living a hard life

abroad.Karen is a distant relative of the Johnson family, and they didn’t spend too much effort in convincing her to join their plot.”

Madeline was shocked to find out that the Johnson family was the mastermind behind everything that happened to her.

Noah had once analyzed the possibilities with her.

The people in Imperia most likely to target here were the Johnson and the Gillian families.

Ezra Gillian had already made his move against her.

The Johnson family had been silent, and Madeline thought they were not interested.

It turned out that they had set a trap and were only waiting for Madeline to fall into it willingly.

“It’s not only Karen.Ronald Klish, Connor Yates, Joseph Quincy, and even Mr.Harvey were the pawns of the Johnson family.They did not do anything to you before this because it wasn’t time yet.Now that the lucky charm has resurfaced, they wouldn’t sit and wait for much longer.Once they know you have all five pieces of the puzzle, they won’t hesitate to act upon you.”

Madeline’s unease grew.She could guess that Gordon’s sudden passing must be related to Eliza somehow.

“What do they plan to do?”

“Wilda and Joseph’s father fabricated a lot of false evidence of your crimes in Yashal.They, together with Karen, want to break up you and Noah while they swoop in and eliminate the both of you.However, the Johnson family had been too impatient, and they ordered these two to abduct your children as bait.I caught them before they could carry out their plan,” Lone Wolf said while pointing at Suzette and James.

Madeline was silent.

If Wilda and Joseph’s father could fabricate evidence of her crimes, the Johnson family must have even more evidence to send her and Noah to prison.She either had to remove the evidence or remove the Johnson family from the picture.

The Johnson family was very influential in Imperia.It would be very difficult to oust them.

“Keep them somewhere secure,”

Madeline told Bruno, then turned to speak to Lone Wolf, “As for you, come with me.”

Bruno was very excited when his daughter tasked him with something so important.He kicked James’ butt hard.

Madeline and Lone Wolf got into her car, and they went to the outskirts.

Lone Wolf knew the road they were traveling on. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It headed toward the mountain where Eliza went missing.

His heart began to thump hard.

They arrived at the mountain more than an hour later.

Madeline used a positioning device to accurately locate the exact spot where Eliza disappeared, and she placed the lucky charm and the five pieces of the puzzle there.

The five pieces combined into an exotic pattern that made people dizzy when they stared too long at it.

While Lone Wolf watched, Madeline continued to place stones ina formation and did some fancy gestures.

He guessed that Madeline wanted to perform the ritual before the Johnson family did, and he looked at his surroundings warily.

“Didn’t they say it only works after two months?” Lone Wolf asked uneasily.

Madeline did not answer, though what happened next would give Lone Wolf the answer he wanted.

Suddenly, wild winds roared, and lightning lit up the sky.

A lightning bolt fell and struck the lucky charm.

At the same time, the Johnson family made their move.

Appearing in front of Madeline and Lone Wolf was an old man with white hair, a middle-aged man in his forties, and about twenty bodyguards.

“You’ve finally shown yourself,” Madeline narrowed her gaze disdainfully.

The old man, whose name was Ezekiel Johnson, gazed at Madeline with a smile.

“Looks like I guessed right.Eliza told you the method to leave this place because you’re her only daughter.”

“So what if she did? Do you think I’d take you away too? You must be dreaming.” Madeline was not going to be civil toward him.

“Don’t you care about your husband and kids?” Ezekiel looked at Madeline confidently.

Madeline was shocked.

“What did you do to them?”
