Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 591

"Ewan, why are you here?"

Wendy looked at the man outside of the door in surprise and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

His expression was extremely complicated, and he said directly, "Just when your wedding ceremony held in the church ended, I seemed to have seen Madge!"

"What did you say? Did you see Madge in the church?" Wendy opened her eyes wide.

"Yes!" Ewan nodded and said seriously, "I think it should be her. As I was helping the people from the church to play the backing tape, I saw she turned around and walked out. I chased after her and called her. She stopped for a while before she strode away in a hurry. Then I was blocked by those guests who rushed forward to give you their blessings, so I didn't catch up with her!"

Since Ewan was deeply in love with Madge, Wendy thought he would never get the wrong person.

She swallowed hard. Somehow, she felt terrified.

At the happy moment of her wedding, Madge appeared, hiding in the crowd and watching them from a distance. Wendy certainly knew that Madge would never wish them a fortunate marriage like other guests...

Ewan looked into the room and asked, "By the way, where is Charlie?"

"He has gone to the church!" Wendy frowned and said, "Not long after we returned to the room, someone from the church called him and said that he should go there to confirm something very important. Then he immediately took the car key and hurried there!"

At that time, they had just returned to the hotel after the wedding ceremony. When the church called to ask him to deal with something important, they surely thought it would be related to their wedding. Thus, they inquired no further. There was still some time before the wedding banquet, so Charlie drove to the church directly.

"How long has it been? Hasn't he come back yet?" Ewan continued to ask in a solemn voice.

Wendy estimated the time in her heart and said, biting her lips nervously, "It seems that he has been away for about an hour. I'll call him..."

She picked up her phone and dialed Charlie's number.

No one answered...

The beep sounds continued coming from the other end of the phone for a long time, but Charlie's calm voice did not show up. Wendy felt that the veins between her eyebrows pulsated more violently. The same feeling of unease that came at her yesterday nagged at her again.

Ewan looked much more serious now. He said hurriedly, "Call the church!"

Wendy nodded repeatedly. She held her phone tighter and swallowed hard. "Yes!"

She found the church's number on the Internet and then dialed it. Soon, someone picked it up.

"What did they say?" Ewan immediately went forward and asked when he saw her hanging up the phone.

"The church said..." Wendy said slowly, still holding her phone by her ear with sweat in her hands. She looked at him with panic and continued in a trembling voice, "They said that none of them had ever asked Charlie to go over... How come? Then who called him..."

There was something weird about this incident. Thus, Wendy decided to keep it from the elders and only told it to their close friends.

Simon, Emily, Tilly, and the others went upstairs to the suite. All of them wore a gloomy expression.

Wendy, haunted by the fear, could not sit still. Every once in a short while, she would stand up from her seat and then sat down again after pacing back and forth anxiously for some time.

As time went by, it had been nearly two hours since Charlie left the hotel. Farr waited at the hotel gate but did not see Charlie's white Land Rover driving back. Besides, nobody picked up Charlie's phone. Seeing Wendy's panicked face, Emily tried her best to comfort her. "Wendy, don't worry. Mr. Hogg is probably on his way back. There is still an hour before the wedding banquet starts. Today is the most important moment in your life. Mr. Hogg has a strong sense of time and will definitely come back in time when so many relatives, friends, and guests are waiting for you!"

"Yes, she's right. He will get back in time!" Tilly hurriedly echoed.

"Um..." Wendy nodded.

Of course, she had the same hope in her heart, but she still couldn't help feeling worried.

She took a piece of tissue and wiped the sweat from her palm. Then, unconsciously, she crumbled up the tissue into a ball, pinched the paper - she must be in a very agitated state at this moment.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

Her cell phone on the bed suddenly vibrated.

Almost in two or three steps, Wendy rushed to her phone, picked it up, and pressed it against her ear.

Seeing this, everyone stood up in unison and looked at her with joy. They thought it was Charlie, but to their surprise, Wendy's face abruptly darkened, and she cried out involuntarily, "Madge?!" Wendy's heart skipped a beat as she saw the strange number on the screen.

When she heard Madge's voice coming from the other end of the phone, her heart twitched with great anxiety.

"Wendy, congratulations! You finally married Charlie! You must be very proud of yourself, aren't you? He gave you such a grand wedding, and you must be very happy now, aren't you? When you married Charlie, you laughed so happily. So, go on laughing! I doubt how long your happiness can last! You took him away from me. You ruined my happy life and my sweet home. And it was you who sent my mother to prison! How can I let you go? Wendy, listen. No one can get what I can't get, especially you!"

Madge's ice-cold and sharp voice on the phone pierced Wendy's eardrum and heart.

After listening to her last words, Wendy licked her dry lips, trying to calm herself down. "What do you mean? It was you who found someone to call Charlie in the name of the church, wasn't it?" Madge did not deny it and sneered.

Indeed, it was her. Wendy, her lips trembling, questioned her, "Madge, why? What the hell do you want to do?"

Madge laughed coldly like a devil crawling out of hell and said in a sinister and ferocious tone, "Wendy, just wait to be a widow!"

She hung up as soon as she finished speaking. After two beeps, the line became deadly silent.

The curse that Madge threw at her hit Wendy hard. Her legs went limp, and she nearly collapsed after the head-on blow.

Emily hurried to hold her and asked nervously, "What's going on? What happened?"

"It was Madge. She called!" Wendy burst out crying and said in a trembling voice as desperately and anxiously as a drowning man trying to catch at a straw. "She asked someone called Charlie in the church's name and tricked him into going out. I could tell from her attitude that she must know where Charlie is. Maybe he is in the control of her! Also, she said, she said she could not let others get what she could not get, especially me. She said I would become a widow..."

Widow...

The terrifying words buzzing in her ears dizzied her.

While Wendy was answering the phone, Simon, Francis, and Ewan took out their mobile phones and made some calls. Simon walked quickly to her and said, "Miss Lim, don't worry! I have just called my eldest brother and second brother, respectively. My eldest brother is a soldier, and my second brother has some connections to the police station. So, both people from the military and the police will help us find him. It won't take long to find out where his Land Rover is. In this way, we can find Charlie soon!"

Wendy nodded mechanically. She could not even make a sound now.

She prayed silently in her heart that Charlie would have a narrow escape this time, just like her-she was just abducted and suffered no further harm last time. If that was the case, she would save him, at any cost!

However, Wendy was terrified because of Madge's exceedingly frightening voice on the phone. She had a feeling that Madge was crazy...

A crazy woman was capable of doing any terrible thing!

When a phone rang, and almost everyone in the room froze. Simon quickly picked it up and immediately told others, "Found it! My second elder brother called and said that a policeman patrolling found Charlie's car at the end of the road bridge near Northern Song Road! It was at an accident scene!"

"At an accident scene?"

Wendy caught the keywords, her tears immediately coming out.

The tears streamed down her face blurred her face. However, she simply lifted her hand and casually wiped her tears off. She acted tough, but everyone here felt pain for her sufferings.

Simon frowned but did not dare to make any rash judgment. He was afraid that she would lose in various ideas and could not endure the possible bad results, so he said carefully, "None of us knows the specific situation. To learn what has happened, we have to get to the scene at first!"

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tilly said in a hurry.

Before she could finish her words, Wendy had already rushed out of the suite with her hands on her belly.

Fortunately, the hotel where their wedding ceremony was held was not far away from the accident scene. Their two cars jumped many red lights on the way and rushed to the road bridge at full speed, with buildings on both sides of the streets flashing past the car windows.

When they were near the other end of the road bridge, Wendy saw the white Land Rover in the distance.

When she saw it clearly, she gasped, and her hand flew to her mouth. In a great panic, she bit her palm hard.

The white Land Rover crashed into the river bridge. Both the car and the stone pillar were severely damaged. Two-thirds of the car's nose was hung in midair, and a giant plume of gray smoke rises from the car's front hood. Under it was the broad and rolling river.

Because it was a two-way road, the two cars stopped on the other side of the road.

After turning over the isolation zone in the middle of the road, they ran fast to the white Land Rover. Suddenly, a flame came out from the front of the car and lit up the whole bridge.

Wendy had forgotten to cry. When they were halfway to the burning car, the car's door facing them suddenly opened with a crash, and a person fell out of it.

Before they cheered, they found that it was Madge. She seemed to be seriously injured, and her whole body and face were covered with blood.

She could not stand up, for her legs were broken from her kneecaps. Therefore, she could only rely on her arms to crawl forward. She started coughing blood, but no one gave a damn about her, except Ewan, who would throw a glance at her sometimes.

The Land Rover that hit the bridge road was enveloped in thick smoke. It was impossible for them to see what was going on inside the car.

Wendy urged herself to run faster and faster, only to reach that car as soon as possible.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and everyone who was running stopped.

Wendy felt as though her whole world had collapsed.
