Chapter 2011 At about eight in the evening, just when Madilyn began to feel restless, Lorraine's phone finally rang.

After picking up the phone and noticing it was an unknown number, she answered the call.

Over the other end of the phone, a familiar voice sounded. "Madilyn? This is your dad speaking. | took your mom back to Xandenia because there are some things | need her to attend to.” “What did you do to my mother, Norton Sheffield? You basically abducted her. Do you want me to report you to the cops?” Madilyn roared.

She exploded in rage when she heard how casual and indifferent Norton was.

“You better not mess with my mom. And tell Mildred not to bully her. If anything happens to my mom, | won't let her get away with it.” Madilyn tried keeping her emotions in check but failed.

She only managed to steady her emotions when Jonathan reached out to grip her left hand.

“So what do you want from me?” she asked.

While Madilyn vented her anger, Norton remained silent. When she finished speaking, he responded calmly, “When you're free, come back,okay?” "Stop beating around the bush. Tell me what you want. You took Mom away because you wanted me to do something for you, right?” Madilyn's agitation dissipated as Jonathan's gentle gaze assuaged her anxiety.

She then calmly waited for Norton's response.

“All right, I'll give it to you straight. For the sake of your happiness, I've arranged for you to marry Wilmer from the Cheever family in Xandenia. He's an excellent man and the future heir to his family. If you marry him, you won't have to work your fingers to the bone anymore! Your mother can live with you too. The two of you will be able to live a comfortable life!” Norton uttered.

His remarks rendered Madilyn speechless.

Her fury was so intense that she could not help laughing out loud. “Norton Sheffield, | can't express how disgusted | am with you. | can't believe you're my father. My mom is great at everything, but she's a lousy judge of character!” She uttered those words in a calm tone.

Over on the other end of the phone, Norton finally began to lose his cool. He lowered his tone and said lividly, “What did you say? Are you questioning your own father?” "That's right. I'm questioning you. Do you really think you're a capable man? You're just a good-for-nothing who relies on political marriage and networking to build your business! | heard you've arranged a marriage for your eldest daughter, Stella, and now you want to do the same thing to me?” Madilyn exclaimed.

Suddenly, a series of beeps rang out. The phone had disconnected.

As Madilyn hung up the phone, a corner of her lips quirked up. She could imagine the extent to which her words had insulted that man's dignity. Ho must be seething with anger! "What? Norton wanted to marry you off to someone for the sake of his own personal interests?” Jonathan's expression darkened as he grasped the situation.

Madilyn confirmed his suspicion with a nod before throwing herself into his arms and embracing him tightly. “I won't let him control my life! He's using my mom to manipulate me with his ideas. But | trust my mom. She won't be deceived by him again!” She was confident that Lorraine would not consent to his scheme. After all, the footage from the surveillance camera clearly indicated that it was Norton who ordered his bodyguards to forcibly take Lorraine away against her will.

“All right. | understand.” A plan began to form in Jonathan's mind as he held her in his embrace. Looks like we have to make a trip to Xandenia to bring Mdm. Xander back. As for Norton's scheme, we don't even have to bother entertaining it!
