Chapter 168: Henry’s Fury
Just as Cameron was on the verge of making a guess, Henry emerged from behind Julia.
“Hey, Young Master Miles?!” Cameron’s eyes widened with doubt and surprise.
If Jared were accompanying Julia tonight, she would not be taken aback by his presence. However, Henry’s unexpected appearance had thrown her off guard. And from Henry’s tone, it seemed like he knew Maddie.
Does Henry know Maddie? How could this be? Henry was the heir of the Miles family, a prominent figure associated with Xonix Film and Television. His status was just a little behind Jared’s. On the other hand, Maddie came from a modest background. How could they possibly be acquainted?
“Let me ask you, where is Maddie?” Henry’s expression turned icy as he posed the question to
Cameron.
Julia’s anger had reached its boiling point, too. Her hand, hanging by her side, clenched the fabric of her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She had a strong urge to confront Cameron aggressively.
“Are you referring to Maddie? I encountered her at a bar earlier, and we exchanged some unpleasant words. After she left, I left as well. Is something wrong? Did something happen to Maddie? This can’t be real,” Cameron feigned an expression of disbelief.
Julia’s cold and starry eyes narrowed as she scrutinized the young woman before her. “Are you daring to claim that Maddie’s situation has nothing to do with you?”
“It truly has nothing to do with me. Our exchange was just a few words of disagreement. I’m not petty enough to seek revenge over a mere argument,” Cameron swore, her acting skills impressively concealing any hints.
“Alright, you swear, and I’m supposed to believe you,” Julia remarked.
Her gut feeling strongly suggested that Cameron was somehow connected to this incident.
“Okay, I swear, I-” Cameron’s voice trailed off, leaving the statement unfinished.
“If
you lie about this matter, then you’ll never have a chance with Jared in this lifetime,” Julia interjected, her eyes narrowing as she fixed her gaze on Cameron.
Cameron’s pupils involuntarily dilated, and her mouth opened instinctively.
“Cameron! Did you really do it?!” Henry’s anger flared, his fists clenched, barely restrained from striking out.
Cameron stared at the fist aimed at her, taking several steps back in fear.
“No, it wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything,” she protested.
“How can you dare deny it? Your reaction just now speaks volumes,” Julia retorted, gripping Cameron’s collar as she spoke.
The uproar escalated to the point that Cameron’s parents descended the stairs.
“What’s happening here? Release my daughter!” Wilbert’s voice boomed.
Julia met Wilbert’s imposing figure with a cold, unwavering gaze. Her demeanor remained neither submissive nor arrogant, her face void of fear.
“Cameron, tell me, where is Maddie?” Julia’s grip tightened on Cameron’s collar, the sensation of suffocation creeping in. However, rather than yielding, Cameron’s resolve seemed to strengthen.

“Julia, I know you’re impatient, but it’s not what you think. I didn’t do it. It’s just that earlier when you had me swear, I hesitated because of Jared. I love him deeply, so I don’t want to be involved in anything that might implicate him.”
Cameron’s words were shrewdly crafted. She denied involvement while implying that Jared would eventually learn the truth. She hoped that he would recognize who truly cared for her.
Yet, Cameron’s assumptions were off the mark. Jared’s concern was solely reserved for Julia, irrespective of anyone else’s feelings for Cameron.
Because Jared’s care was exclusively reserved for Julia, regardless of whether Julia reciprocated his feelings, his attention was unrelated to anyone else’s affection for him.
“Oh! How convenient,” Julia remarked, fully aware of Cameron’s intentions. She was certain that Jared would investigate this matter thoroughly later on.
Of course, Julia was also well aware of Cameron’s genuine affection for Jared. But what did that change?
Seeking love could drive people to adopt various methods. However, causing harm to others to fulfill one’s selfish desires was inexcusable.
“Regardless, I didn’t do it, anyway…” Cameron adamantly stuck to her denial, unmoved by Julia’s efforts to confront her.
Just then, the phone rang, interrupting the tense moment. Julia swiftly released her grip on Cameron’s shoulder, retrieving her cell phone to answer the call. It was Lincoln on the line. “Have you found anything?”
“We’ve located her. She’s been taken to Jordan’s residence.”
“What?!” Julia’s exclamation filled the air.
Alarmed by Julia’s reaction, Henry’s face drained of color, and his heart suddenly lodged in his throat.
After ending the call, Julia turned to Henry with a grave expression. “Maddie is in Jordan’s place.” Henry felt as though a lightning bolt had struck him upon hearing the news.
‘Who is accompanying Jordan?‘ He holds prominence within this circle, recognized for his unrelenting demeanor that even extends to flowers meeting their demise at his hands. The women who cross their path find themselves compelled to shed their identities, a process unrelated to their mortality.
“Frustrating!” Henry clenched his teeth and let out a fierce roar before promptly pivoting and swiftly dashing toward the awaiting car.
Julia reacted without delay, her feet carrying her in tandem with the urgent rhythm of her voice as she dialed Jared while on the run.
Meanwhile, Jared engaged in discussions with several prominent figures. Upon hearing the call signal, he extracted his phone, a cascade of uncontainable delight flickering across his face. Did her call betray a longing for him?
Musing to himself, Jared connected the call. The instant connection revealed Julia’s voice, heavy with anxiety, streaming from the phone’s speaker. “Jared! Something terrible transpired involving Maddie – Jordan has taken her. Please, help me establish contact with him!”
“Understood.” Jared’s expression grew grave as he promptly dialed Jordan’s number.
Yet, the outcome was an unanswered call, a silence that hung in the air.

“Joseph,” Jared’s voice échoed as he called his aide, “Get in touch with Jordan as quickly as possible!”
“Understood,” Joseph acknowledged promptly, setting out to carry out the task.
In Jordan’s dimly lit room, Maddie lay on the double bed. Despite retaining her consciousness, her body remained weak and immobilized. The effects of the drug were evidently still coursing through her system. Maddie’s gaze wandered the room, her vision hazy and unfocused. In her current state, escape seemed like an impossible challenge.
Just as anxiety tightened its grip on Maddie, the sound of the door creaking open reached her
ears.
“Boom, boom, boom-” her heart raced like a drumbeat, and she clutched the bedsheet tightly, her nerves on edge.
“Who are you?” Jordan strolled in, adjusting his tie with casual air.
“This time is different from before. They used to be all about being voluptuous and seductive. This style is more adorable,” he remarked, his eyes appraising Maddie with predatory interest. “Judging by your nervous expression, it seems you’re not very experienced in this realm. You might have to endure some discomfort during our little playtime.”
Maddie trembled as the man’s sinister words hung in the air, tears brimming in her frightened
eyes.
“Don’t you dare touch me, or else I won’t let you off.”
“Indeed, as innocent as they come, with a unique charm. Tonight, I’ll introduce you to the most euphoric and agonizing sensations a person can experience in this world.”
With those chilling words, Jordan advanced towards Maddie, his fingers reaching for the zipper of
her coat.
