Chapter 513
Zach had done such gruesome acts in the villa repeatedly. He never hesitated to torture a living person to death
before Madelyn.
At first, she would be frightened and might even cry out of fear. Over time, Madelyn gradually became numb to it.
Zach was originally such a ruthless person. He had blood on his hands from his involvement in numerous violent
crimes. If he became the ruler of Ventropolis, it would be at the expense of others.
It had been so long ago that Madelyn had forgotten many things. However, this man with the face cover left a deep
impression on her. He was one of Zach’s subordinates, Fred.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Didn’t Zach find Duncan three years later? Why is it happening now? Could it be that everything that was supposed
to happen has already been accelerated?‘ Madelyn was worried and anxious but could not pinpoint the source of
these emotions.
‘Are the events from my previous life going to happen no matter what? Even if the original fate has changed, it still
cannot be escaped in the end. Those destined to die will still meet their fate! What about me? Will I also repeat the
fate of my past life and won’t live a long and fulfilling life?‘
Duncan kept backing away and gripping a utility knife tightly with his hands. He was trembling with fear. “Don’t
come any closer. Don’t. I haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve got the wrong person.”
Fred looked at the portrait in his hand. “I came for you today.”
Mya was on the verge of tears. “Let’s go quickly! I’m so scared.”
Madelyn lost herself in thought. Suddenly, she heard an urgent voice, “Madelyn, watch out!”
Madelyn snapped back to reality with a sudden push, and Kennedy supported her. She looked over and saw that
Duncan had already held Mya at knifepoint.
Duncan said, “Don’t come any closer, I–I tell you. I’ll kill her if you dare to approach.”
Madelyn cried out, “Mya!”
Mya appeared to be on the verge of tears, struggling to hold them back. She whimpered, “Madelyn, I’m fine. I’m
not afraid at all.”
“Shut up!” Duncan tightened his grip on Mya’s neck.
He looked at Fred. “It’s been eight years, but you still haven’t let go of me! It’s because of all of you. That’s why my
family broke apart, and my daughter died. I’ll take her with me even if I can’t escape today.”

“Don’t go!” Lem tried to stop her but failed. Fred also looked at Madelyn.
Duncan seemed to fear Fred’s presence. His whole face looked menacing, and his hands were trembling. Mya was
crying loudly, and blood was already trickling from her neck.
“Don’t hurt her.” Madelyn was also terrified. If something happened to Mya today, she would never forgive herself.
Mya was the only true friend Madelyn had made during all these years. She was kind and innocent, without any
ulterior motives, like an untouched blank canvas. Her life should not come to an end today.
“I–I will trade myself for her. Please don’t hurt her.” Madelyn approached step by step.
Someone in a nearby car fixed a deep, piercing gaze on that delicate and fragile figure. The eyes grew even colder
with each passing moment.
