Married by Mistake – Chapter 2411
However, despite this, the smartwatch worn by Madeline recorded the route completely.
Jeremy, who was on the other end of the phone, was also listening carefully to the situation in the car. However, it seemed that there was no communication in the car. It seemed pretty safe so far, but Jeremy was still worried about Madeline. Jeremy was about to go after Madeline according to the data sent by Madeline’s smartwatch when he suddenly heard Esther speak
“Eveline, the place I’m going to take you to is very private, so you have to turn off your phone now. Take off your jewelry and your watch. Leave them in the car.” Esther stared at Madeline with sly eyes.
“I’ve long heard that Mr. Whitman is very concerned about you, so he installed tracking devices on the jewelry you wear. If you don’t want to take them off, your journey today will only end here.”
Madeline understood what Esther meant and glanced at the watch that was still connected to a call. Madeline could not hear what Jeremy was saying on the other end of the line at the moment because the volume was turned down to the lowest. However, she could probably guess that Jeremy must be trying desperately to stop her and asking her to get out of the car. However, Madeline removed her phone, watch, and some jewelry according to Esther’s wishes. She did not end the call, though.
Esther, pleased with Madeline’s actions, told the driver to stop the car.
Madeline looked up and saw a place she had never been to before. This place was not very secluded, and there were still a small number of cars on the street.
After Esther got out of the car, she asked Madeline to follow her. Madeline took a look at the surrounding situation before following Esther.
After walking for 20 minutes, Madeline saw the dilapidated buildings that were about to be demolished in front of her. Madeline had a strong feeling that Ava was inside. She sped up a little uncontrollably, but reason told her not to be impulsive.
Esther took Madeline into one of the buildings that seemed to be collapsing. After reaching the third floor, Madeline heard noises that sounded like a heating was happening in the empty corridor.
She was startled. After she saw the smug look on Esther’s face, Madeline’s eyes darkened. She ran to the house where the sound came from without saying a word. As soon as she ran in, she saw a tall man beating Ava who was curled up on the ground in front of him. She could not fight back Madeline felt a pain in her heart as she ran to Ava without thinking.
“Ava!” Madeline ran over and pushed the man who wanted to attack Ava away.
The man was dissatisfied with being pushed away and wanted to teach Madeline a lesson. However, at this moment, he received an order from Esther to stop. Madeline glanced at Esther who walked slowly to the door. She quickly squatted to the ground, holding the frightened Ava in her arms.
“Ava…”
As Madeline called Ava’s name and looked at Ava who was covered in bruises and was still bleeding, she felt as if a knife had been stabbed into her heart. Ava was still conscious, so she lifted her exhausted eyes. The wound on the corner of her eye was still bleeding.
“Maddie, am I dreaming?” Ava asked weakly.
Madeline’s tears started to fall as she held Ava tightly. “It’s me, Ava. You’re not dreaming.”
“Really? I’m not?” Ava took a deep breath and closed her eyes. However, the next second, she pushed Madeline away with all of her might “Run, hurry! Esther is a lunatic!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2412
Ava pushed Madeline away with the last bit of her strength.
Madeline almost lost her footing, but she was still hugging Ava, who insisted that she should leave as soon as possible.
“Ava, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again,” Madeline promised as she held the trembling Ava.
Having known Ava for so many years, Madeline always had the impression that Ava was strong and upright. She was never afraid of anything, but now, Madeline could feel from Ava’s trembling body how scared she was at the moment. Looking at the various wounds on Ava’s body, Madeline’s heart was also in excruciating pain. She could not imagine what Esther had done to Ava in this short period that would cause Ava to be covered in such nasty wounds.
Naya’s mother, Esther Bay, was even more extreme than Naya. Sure enough, only people like that would have children who acted the same.
Madeline hugged Ava in even more distress, while Esther, who was watching this scene, displayed a sinister and disdainful smile on her face.
“Tsk tsk, what a touching sisterhood. I’m so moved,” Esther said eerily as she walked up to Madeline and Ava.
“Eveline, you were originally one of my targets, but you’re not as impulsive as this fool, so you got lucky. I really didn’t expect you to be willing to follow me just to put yourself in danger for this fool. It seems that you’re not that smart either, and your husband Jeremy is not that worried about you. Otherwise, why would he let you take the risk knowing that you’ll be in danger?”
Madeline did not want to answer at all when she heard what Esther said in a smug tone, but Ava felt extremely guilty after hearing it. She leaned weakly into Madeline’s arms and made an almost inaudible apology. “I’m sorry, Maddie. I was too impulsive. I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have gone after this lunatic. Maddie, I’m sorry…”
Ava’s voice was very soft, but Madeline heard every word. She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling even more distressed.
“You dummy, no one is blaming you. It’s enough as long as you’re safe,” Madeline comforted softly.
At the moment, Ava could only lean against Madeline’s arms and cry silently. However, Esther would not be soft-hearted. She would not feel the slightest bit moved by such a scene. In her opinion, Madeline and Ava were now in her hands, so she would now avenge her daughter.
“I almost can’t bear it after seeing how affectionate you two are,” Esther’s smile became more and more sinister. “Why don’t I give you a choice? Only one of you can leave. I’ll give you one minute to discuss and decide who will leave. The one who stays may not see the sun tomorrow.”
After hearing this, Ava’s first reaction was to let Madeline go.
Without hesitation, she tugged on the corner of Madeline’s clothes. “Go, Maddie. Don’t stay here. Go now.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2413
Madeline could feel how much Ava cared about her, but since she came here, she never thought of leaving.
“Esther, stop joking. Since you brought me here, I know you have no plans of letting either one of us go. Just be direct about what you want.” Madeline hugged Ava tightly as she faced Esther who was looking down on them neither obsequiously nor superciliously.
“Hmph.” Esther sneered. “Eveline, it seems that you’re pretty bold. Well then, I want to see just how strong you are.”
“No!” Ava suddenly shouted as she turned her face to look at Esther. “Esther, the person you hate the most is me. The person you want to deal with is also me. Eveline has no grudges against Naya. All of this is between Naya and me. This has nothing to do with my friends. You can just do anything you want to me!”
Although she was tortured to the point where she was covered with scars and bruises, Ava did not flinch from fear at all.
“Esther, tell your people to continue torturing me. Let Eveline go. You should know that her husband is Jeremy Whitman. You must also know his status in Glendale. He loves Eveline so much. If something happens to Eveline, not only will you be doomed. Your entire family will be too.”
Esther frowned. “Are you threatening me? Do you think I’ll be afraid of that at this moment? My daughter has already been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Her future is already over. Do you think I’d still be afraid?”
“Yes, that’s right. Naya’s future is over, but do you want her life to be over too?” Ava struck down at Esther’s weakness.
“How dare you curse my daughter like that, you b*tch?!”
Indeed, Esther started stamping with fury. She grabbed Ava’s blood-stained collar and reached out her hand to slap Ava.
When Madeline saw this, she decisively stopped Esther and pulled Ava back to her.
“Ava is right. I’ve already reminded you about this. You just visited Naya in prison a while ago. If you take action against us at this time, then Naya won’t be able to escape the suspicion of instigating murder. Once she’s convicted of this charge, do you think Naya will merely be locked up?”
“Eveline, how dare you threaten me too?!” Esther glared fiercely at Madeline but then followed with a smirk. “Haha, I know you’re just saying that because you‘re scared. You’re afraid that I’ll kill you, so you have to scare me like this. It’s alright, don’t be too scared. I won’t kill you. I’ll just make you suffer a pain worse than death.”
Esther’s eyes grew more and more terrifying as she spoke.
Not long after she said that, the driver who drove the car just now came in.
Esther glanced sideways at Madeline and Ava before ordering, “Tie them both up.”
“Okay, Boss.”
The two men responded before picking up the rope on the ground and walking toward Madeline and Ava.
Ava weakly pushed Madeline. “Maddie, if you don’t leave now, there’ll be no more chances. I’m already happy that I have a good friend like you in my life. Really.” As she said that, tears started flowing out of her eyes.
“Maddie, I’ve been alone my whole life, so it won’t be a big deal if something really happens. But you’re different. You have three children, and Jeremy will be very sad if he loses you. Don’t take risks for me anymore. I’m stupid for falling into Esther’s trap, so just let me endure all of this. Maddie, you should go now.”
“Ava, stop being stupid. You’re not alone anymore. You have your parents. Even though Daniel has lost his memories, he’s still concerned and worried about you. Since I’m here, I won’t let you face all these dangers alone. Don’t be scared. You’ll never be alone anymore.”
After Madeline said that, she held Ava with one hand and put another hand into her pocket. Then, she lowered her head to whisper in Ava’s ear…
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2414
Ava’s physical condition was not good now, but her hearing was still okay. After hearing Madeline’s whispers in her ear, she was slightly stunned, but she also knew they did not have a second to hesitate. From the corners of her eyes, she could see the two men gradually approaching them with the rope.
Madeline also knew that at this time, she could not hesitate. Once she did, something would go wrong. When she saw that the two men were about to tie her and Ava with rope, Madeline suddenly raised her hand and sprayed the pepper spray in her hand into the eyes of the two men with lightning speed.
“Ouch!”
“F*ck!”
The two men screamed in pain at the same time. They threw the rope in their hands to the ground. They were desperately wiping their eyes. However, since they were wiping it away with their hands, they allowed more of the pepper spray to go into their eyes.
Madeline advanced after the enemies retreated. She sprayed more pepper spray into the eyes of the two men, then kicked the two men without hesitation.
The two men could not see, so they staggered and fell backward after being attacked so suddenly. One of the men even fell to the ground. Then, Madeline held Ava tightly and they ran toward the door.
Ava had long been prepared, so she was holding Madeline tightly, refusing to let go.
Esther was dumbfounded to see this scene.
How would she expect that Madeline would carry pepper spray with her? When she saw that Madeline was about to leave with Ava, Esther immediately stopped her.
“Eveline, don’t even think about leaving just like that!”
Esther blocked the door forcefully, then ordered the two men.
“You two, there’s water over there. Go wash your eyes quickly. If these two escape, not only won’t you get the rest of the money but you might even be arrested. When that happens, you won’t have the chance to spend the money even if you have it. Do you hear me?!”
When the two men heard what Esther said, they squinted their eyes and tried to find the water to clean their eyes.
Of course, Madeline knew she could not waste any time. She decisively took out the pepper spray she used just now and pointed it at Esther.
“Do you want to try how it feels to get pepper spray in your eyes?” Madeline’s eyes were as sharp as knives, and she was unhesitating. “Esther, I’m not merely intimidating you now. Don’t force me unless you want to feel your eyes burn.”
Esther looked at the nozzle of the pepper spray that was facing her. At that second, she did not dare to act recklessly.
Madeline retracted her hand quickly and held Ava tightly. “Ava, let’s go!”
“Okay,” Ava replied Madeline forcefully, then used all of her might to put her weak legs forward. She tried her best to run out of this place quickly.
Esther wanted to chase after them, but she knew she was not Madeline’s opponent. She quickly turned around and grabbed two bottles of mineral water before throwing them in front of the two men. Then, she ordered them while feeling flustered and exasperated.
“Quickly wash your eyes and chase after them! If they escape, we’ll all be done for.”
Madeline supported Ava’s arm on her shoulder with one arm while her other arm held Ava’s waist. Despite running very fast, Ava was still too weak. When she got to the first floor, she did not have the energy to keep running anymore.
“Maddie, you should just leave me here and run. You can call Jeremy and the rest to come and rescue me after you escape,” Ava tried to get Madeline to leave.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2415
Of course, Madeline would not let go. She ignored Ava’s words. Instead, she asked with concern, “Ava, are you really unable to walk at all?”
“Yeah, I can’t walk anymore. I have no energy, and it hurts so much.” Ava frowned, almost unable to lift her head. “Maddie, listen to me. You can leave now. Esther is crazier than Naya. She can really do anything.”
“Then it’s even more impossible for me to leave you here to face the danger alone,” Madeline said and lifted Ava with even more force. When she heard the hurried footsteps behind her, Madeline had to make a decision immediately, “Ava, hold on for a while.”
“Maddie…”
Ava gradually began to lose consciousness, but her feet still followed Madeline.
After the two men washed their eyes, they were the first to chase after Madeline and Ava. Meanwhile, Esther was following closely behind them. However, after they ran out of the building, they found that the buildings around them were empty. They did not see any shadows, let alone humans. Esther thought it was strange, so she asked the men to look for them nearby, knowing that Madeline would not be able to go far with Ava.
Yet, after looking around, there was still no trace of Madeline and Ava.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Then, Esther received a call from Ethan again. After she picked it up, she made up an excuse saying she was shopping with friends before hanging up. Esther’s eyes became darker and darker as she looked at the building in front of her.
“Eveline, Ava, don’t even think ab out leaving like this! My precious daughter’s life is over. I won’t make life easy for you!” Esther said viciously, then she turned and walked into the building in front of her.
After entering, she stood at the door as if she was trying to listen to any sounds. However, she did not hear anything. Esther was so angry that she wanted to find them floor by floor. However, as soon as she started to walk upstairs, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
“No need to look. I’m here,” Madeline’s voice sounded behind Esther.
Esther stopped in her tracks and looked behind her in slight disbelief. She did not expect that she would really see Madeline.
“Evelin, you’re so bold.” The corners of Esther’s lips twitched as she took two steps toward Madeline. However, she quickly stopped and looked at Madeline vigilantly. She seemed to be suspecting whether Madeline still had the pepper spray on her.
Madeline sensed Esther’s suspicions, so she threw the pepper spray at the floor in front of Esther.
“Don’t be scared. I have nothing on me that I can attack you with now.”
Esther glanced at the pepper spray on the floor. When she picked it up, she noticed that it was already finished.
“Eveline, what’s the meaning of this? Where’s Ava?”
“Hmm. ” Madeline shrugged. “I hid her somewhere you can’t find her, of course.”
“Heh, you’re such a good friend. You hid her and came out to put yourself at risk… How courageous!”
“Same goes for you.” Madeline seemed to be praising Esther, but her eyes were filled with sarcasm. “You can do insane things for your precious daughter, but the difference is that you don’t even know what you should do and what you should not do.”
After hearing what Madeline said, Esther only chuckled pejoratively. Soon after, she called the two men back and gave them an order.
“You two, go into this building and search around. That woman must be nearby. As for her, I’ll handle her myself.”
The two men glared at Madeline savagely. They clearly wanted to teach her a lesson because she sprayed them with pepper spray just now. However, they could only execute Esther’s order right now.
When Madeline saw the two men going upstairs, she knew this was her last chance.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2416
Madeline was not flustered at all when she was facing Esther who was staring at her so closely. The moment she saw the two men going up the stairs, she suddenly turned and ran.
Esther looked at Madeline who suddenly ran away and screamed in confusion, “She ran! Catch her first! Don’t let her run away!”
The two men did not expect such a sudden turn in the situation, but they also realized now that Madeline was not a woman who was easy to deal with.
Esther was so angry that she chased after Madeline. As she watched Madeline’s figure speed away, she was seething.
“Eveline, I don’t believe that those two big men can’t handle you!”
Esther gritted her teeth and finally realized how negligent she was. Madeline was fine and not injured, so she should let those two men deal with her. She should be looking for Ava, who was beaten so badly that she could not even walk on her own. Esther was also a little aware of the reason why Madeline would take the initiative to show up here. Clearly, she was doing this on purpose.
“Eveline, you’re smart, but I’m not stupid. Since you ran out on purpose, it proves that btch Ava is in this building. Well, since you can run so fast, go ahead. I’d like to see where that btch Ava can run to now.”
Esther’s gloomy eyes narrowed fiercely before she turned around and walked upstairs. She looked for Ava from room to room.
Outside the building, Madeline was running along the damaged and bumpy road. She glanced back from time to time, making sure that the two men were still desperately chasing after her. The sky was getting darker and darker. She could not feel any warmth in the light from the sunset when it hit her. After running for a distance, Madeline slowed down a little as she was running out of strength. Then, she saw the two men who were chasing after her get closer and closer.
The two men also saw that Madeline was a little tired now. They both had smug smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Madeline tripped over a sharp stone under her feet. She immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground. When she tried to stand up, she found that her ankle was twisted and she could not stand up at all.
Seeing this situation, the two men stopped abruptly and started to guffaw loudly.
“Mrs. Whitman, do you still wish to run?” one of the men asked with a wretched smile.
“Mrs. Whitman, you are really good at tricking people. You attacked us with pepper spray just now and we couldn’t even open our eyes. Then, you deliberately showed up to distract us. You have a lot of ideas.”
“We initially had tender, protective feelings for women like you, but since you’ve tricked us twice, don’t blame us for being ruthless.” After the man said that, he showed a sinister look on his face.
“Wait!” Madeline cried out to stop them.
The two men were slightly stunned. Then, more evil and prouder smiles appeared on their faces.
“Mr. Whitman, are you going to beg us for mercy?”
Madeline lifted her eyes, not panicking even when she was in the face of danger. “I want to talk terms with you.”
“Terms? What terms?” The man was curious.
“Whatever Esther is giving you, I’ll give you double,” Madeline answered straightforwardly.
When the two men heard that, they seemed to fall into deep thought before bursting into laughter a few seconds later.
“Mrs. Whitman, you’re overthinking. People like us are extremely vengeful. You can’t use money to settle this matter anymore after how you tricked us just now.”
Madeline furrowed her brows. “What do you want?”
“What do we want?” The two men lifted their heads to look at each other, their eyes filled with evil. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re so pretty. What do you think we want? Since you were so disobedient just now, we shall teach you a lesson.”
Madeline’s eyes were filled with terror after she heard that. She tried to stand up to back away, but her ankle was in so much pain that she could not stand no matter what.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2417
Seeing this, the two men rubbed their hands and walked toward Madeline. However, Madeline suddenly shouted, “Be careful, there’s a snake under your feet!”
The two men paused subconsciously when they heard that, but soon, they realized that Madeline might be fooling them again.
The weather had not turned warm, so how could there be snakes?
“Stop talking nonsense with this woman. She has too many tricks up her sleeves. Just grab her and drag her into the house to teach her a lesson. Let’s see if she still dares to fool us again after that!” One of the men was already agitated after being fooled so many times. He could not hold himself back anymore.
The other man also agreed, so he stopped talking nonsense. Then, the two of them rushed toward Madeline without saying a word. However, just as they were about to walk in front of Madeline, the two suddenly stepped on air as the feeling of weightlessness immediately overcame them.
“Ah!”
Thud! Thud!
After the scream, Madeline heard two muffled falls in succession.
Even though it was dark, Madeline could see a thin layer of dirt floating up from the pit in front of her.
“Damn, why is there such a big hole here?”
“Hurry up! Otherwise, we’ll ruin this!”
“It’s so high! How should I get up there?”
“You can’t get up here, of course,” Madeline’s sweet voice came from above the heads of the two men.
The two men raised their heads and looked over at the same time, only to see Madeline giving them a proud and deep smile.
“I reminded you just now that there was danger. You were the ones who insisted on walking forward.”
When they heard what Madeline said, the men realized that they had been tricked by Madeline again.
“Damn it!”
The men were not reconciled and could not accept this, but right now, they could only watch as Madeline laughed at them.
Madeline did not want to waste time either. She turned around and ran without saying a word.
The men finally understood that Madeline did not twist her ankle at all and had faked her fall. She was just pretending so that they would put their guard down!
How clever!
The two men had no choice but to admire her, but at the same time, they did not want to stay in this pit and wait for their deaths. Hence, they tried to get up. However, after a while, they really could not come up with a way to climb up. The pit was at least two meters tall.
Esther did not know what was going on outside. She searched for Ava’s whereabouts from room to room, but after searching for so long, she still could not find any trace of Ava. Esther wondered where could a living and breathing person like Ava hide. Which safe place would Madeline hide her now that she was covered in injuries and had no strength to walk?
As she wondered about it, Esther suddenly thought of something.
Was the most dangerous place not the safest place?
Ava was on the third floor where she was originally held in!
Esther immediately walked back. When she entered the room, she heard the two men shouting from outside the balcony. It was only then Esther realized that the two men had fallen into a pit. She immediately guessed that it was Madeline’s idea.
“Eveline, you have so many tricks up your sleeves. Since you dare to play me a fool like this, then I won’t have mercy on you anymore. You’ve never been merciful since the beginning.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2418
Esther turned around sharply when she heard the statement from behind her.
“Eveline, even two big men can’t handle you. I really underestimated you.” Esther’s words were full of irony, but her eyes were full of deep resentment.
Madeline approached her with an indifferent smile. “It’s not that you underestimated me, but since I’ve died once, I’ll always be cautious no matter what I do.”
Esther frowned. She had heard about Madeline’s past. She chuckled coldly. “Eveline, where’s Ava?”
“Do you think I’ll tell you?” Madeline’s eyes grew colder. “Esther, this is not how you should love your child as a mother. You’ll soon pay the price for your crimes.”
“Hmph!” Esther chuckled again, “The price? Yes, it seems that I can’t win against you, Eveline. But since things have come to this point, I don’t want to deal with you anymore. I don’t want to waste any more time either.”
As she said that Esther suddenly pulled out a switchblade from her pocket.
“You and Ava have ruined Naya’s life anyway. I can’t win this game for Naya. Since I’m going to prison no matter what, then why don’t I drag both of you down with me? We’ll all be losers in this game!”
Esther clenched the handle of the switchblade and charged straight toward Madeline. Madeline swiftly avoided the attack and slapped the switchblade out of Esther’ s hand. Esther widened her eyes in astonishment. She did not expect Madeline to not only have such quick reflexes but also the ability to easily subdue her.
Esther was furious. She pushed Madeline away to pick up the switchblade. Then, Madeline raised her foot and kicked the switchblade to the side.
“Eveline, I’ll kill you!” Esther was instantly annoyed and angry.
At this moment, she was not behaving like a normal person at all, let alone a rich lady. When she grabbed Madeline’s clothes, she started tugging on them.
Madeline did not want to en tangle herself with Esther too much. She wanted to break free from Esther. However, Esther was not only unwilling to let go but she also reached out to grab Madeline’s hair like a shrew.
Madeline was caught off guard. Esther seemed to have caught Madeline’s weakness. She then raised his foot and kicked Madeline’s knee.
“Kneel! Eveline, kneel!”
Esther pushed and tugged at Madeline frantically, her eyes getting more and more savage.
Madeline was ambushed by Esther. She could not rid Esther for a while. When Esther saw that Madeline could not get rid of her, she became even more intense. She suddenly pushed Madeline to the ground. Madeline’s knees slammed on the cold and hard floor. The skin on her hands was scratched because she was trying to support herself.
When she was about to stand up, she turned her head and saw Esther picking up the switchblade and pointing it straight at her face.
“Eveline, you didn’t expect the situation to change like this, right?”
Esther displayed a sinister and sly grin on her face. Then, she sighed long and hard.
“I raised my Naya for so many years because I hoped that one day, she could marry into a wealthy family and become a noble wife. Since she was a child, I’ve doted on her like a princess. She has never suffered any grievances, but one day, that b*tch Ava showed up and ruined everything!”
When she said Ava’s name, Esther was grinding her teeth. She looked as if she wanted badly to kill Ava.
“Daniel doesn’t know what’s good for him. He should be honored that Naya likes him, but he only wants to be with Ava. If it’s not because I don’t want to make Naya sad, Daniel would be here now!”
Madeline did not want to add fuel to the fire when she looked at Esther’s malevolent and resentful face at this moment. This woman who was behaving like a lunatic was holding a knife to her, so she could not take the risk. Madeline took a deep breath and said calmly, “Esther, did you deliberately bribe someone to trick Daniel into going somewhere with no cars around and then have someone steal his phone so that you could pretend to be Daniel’s kid napper when texting Ava? The reason you did all of that is to lure me and Ava out because you want to deal with both of us at once, right?”
Esther sneered. “It’s too late to know this now, Eveline, I’ll get rid of you first, then I’ll settle the crippled Ava. She‘s already half-dead anyway, so it’ll be easier to get rid of her. Right now, you’re the one I need to get rid of the most!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2419
Madeline was a little worried when she faced Esther’s ferocious and threatening appearance, but she was not too scared.
Esther sensed that something was wrong when she saw that Madeline was still so calm. She felt that if she did not do anything now, she might really have no chance to do it later.
The villains usually died because they were too long-winded. She did not want to repeat Naya’s mistakes. Therefore, she had to deal with Madeline quickly and efficiently.
Esther raised the switchblade suddenly, her face looking fierce. “Naya, I’ll avenge you right now! I’ll never forgive anyone who opposes you!”
After shouting out the words like she was venting, Esther stabbed Madeline with the knife.
At this critical moment, Esther heard someone shout at her.
“Esther!”
Esther’s hand halted. Madeline was about to dodge but she looked flabbergasted at Ava who suddenly appeared. Ava walked staggeringly. She was covered in scars and could barely open her eyes, but she insisted on walking in front of Esther.
“Esther, the person you want to kill the most should be me.” Ava took a deep breath to keep herself awake and regain her strength. “Come on! Come and kill me to vent for your precious daughter!” Ava deliberately provoked Esther.
Esther turned around and pointed the knife at Ava.
“You b*tch, you dare to step out for Eveline. I really admire your courage and the so-called sisterhood between you.”
“Yeah, you should admire me, but how can narrow-minded, selfish, sinister, and vicious people like you and Naya know what the unyielding will do?”
“Hmph!” Esther’s eyes were full of contempt. “Since you’re so loyal, I’ll fulfill your wish now, you b*tch!”
“Come on! I’ll fight to the death with you too, you lunatic!” Ava was also completely annoyed at this moment.
When she saw that Esther was swinging the switchblade at her, Ava raised her right hand without hesitation. The next second, Esther felt something spicy and tingling penetrate her eyes. It blurred her eyes and made her lose her clear vision for a moment.
It was pepper spray!
She did not expect Ava to have it too!
“Ah!” Esther cried out in discomfort.
Madeline also took this opportunity to stand up immediately and snatched the switchblade from Esther’s hand.
As Esther struggled blindly, she accidentally slammed her head against the wall and staggered a few seconds before fainting.
Madeline knew that Esther would not die, so she supported Ava and walked out, “Ava, hang in there. I think Jeremy and the others will be here soon.”
“Maddie…”
“Don’t talk so much. I’ll take you out first.”
Madeline picked up Ava’s arm. The moment they stepped out of the door, they saw the two resentful men covered in dirt in front of them.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2420
As soon as the two thugs saw Madeline, their faces turned as dark as charcoal.
“Eveline, you just love to play, don’t you? Well, we’ll play with you to your heart’s content now!”
After one of the men said that, they strode toward Madeline and Ava.
Madeline did not expect these two men to climb out of the pit so quickly. She really did not have the strength to fight these two men at this moment. Right as she and Ava were about to be tortured by these two gangsters, a familiar figure entered Madeline’s line of sight.
Jeremy restrained the two men without any hesitation. He almost effortlessly brought down the two thugs who wanted to bully Madeline and Ava. The two thugs did not even notice that someone was following behind them. All they were thinking about was finding Madeline to vent their anger. At this moment, they were under Jeremy’s feet.
“Jeremy.” Madeline’s face suddenly brightened with a happy smile.
Jeremy ran to Madeline after making sure the two men were no longer able to resist.
“Linnie, are you all right? Why is there so much dust on your clothes? Did you fall? Or did they…”
“I’m fine, Jeremy. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Take Ava to the hospital now.” Madeline looked worriedly at Ava, who was leaning on her shoulder and gradually losing consciousness.
Jeremy seemed to finally notice the injuries on Ava.
“Did they do this?”
“Esther instructed them to do this.” Madeline frowned.
Ava‘s injuries made her feel distressed. “Esther passed out in the room. Are the police here?”
“I’ve informed the police. They should be here soon. Daniel will be here soon as well,” Jeremy said and carried Ava bridal-style.
Looking at Ava’s lacerated wounds which were of different sizes, Jeremy could not stop himself from frowning. He could tell how much Esther despised Ava. Jeremy obeyed Madeline’s instructions and walked downstairs with Ava in his arms. At this time, Daniel also hurried upstairs. At first glance, he saw Ava unconscious in Jeremy‘s arms. He felt as if something had tugged on his nerves. For a moment, there was an indescribable pain all over the body.
“Ava!”
Almost subconsciously, Daniel called out to Ava in a very intimate tone. However, Ava could not hear him at all.
Daniel hurried to Jeremy, and Jeremy could fully understand how Daniel was feeling at the moment. He also took the initiative to hand Ava to Daniel.
“Don’t say anything. Take her to the hospital first,” Jeremy stressed.
Daniel’s Adam’s apple moved when he seemingly sobbed. Then, without any hesitation, he carried Ava and quickly ran downstairs.
Jeremy immediately turned around and held Madeline’s hand, only to realize that Madeline was walking a little weirdly.
“Linnie, did you hurt your foot?”
Madeline did not hide it any longer. “I twisted it a little when Esther pushed me and I was caught off guard. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“I shouldn’t have let you take the risk to come here alone.” Jeremy regretted this.
“If I didn’t do this, there would be no way to find Ava so quickly. I had no choice but to make Esther bring me here by becoming the bait.” Madeline smiled helplessly.
She took a risk for this trip out of desperation, but if she had not done this, they would not have been able to find Ava so quickly.
If Madeline had not gone to look for Esther alone, Esther would not have eased her vigilance and bring Madeline here?
