After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 494 I Want You Both Dead!

Madeline hesitated for a moment but then decided to check the car, lured by the thought of the 50 million dollars.

Outside the seafood market, Michael parked the car and instructed Ethan to wait inside and guide the police who hadn't arrived yet.

"The car is parked right at the entrance of the seafood market," Michael said.

Madeline opened the door of the abandoned wooden hut. "You wait here!" she told Michael.

Michael nodded. "I need to see her," he insisted, referring to Chloe.

Maya, wearing her mask, stood aside, feeling a pang of jealousy. Why would Michael spend 50 million dollars to save Chloe?

Maya, still smart, handcuffed Chloe to an abandoned radiator on the wall before allowing Michael inside.

Chloe, tied to a chair, looked at Michael with a mix of disbelief and relief.

Michael's heart sank at the sight of her swollen face and the gag in her mouth.

He gently removed the gag. "It's okay. We'll be fine soon."

Unwilling to watch their affectionate interaction, Maya angrily struck the ground with a stick. "Do you really like her that much? What makes her worth it?" She had even drugged him back then, but he had resisted and refused to touch her.

All for Chloe.

Rumors had always suggested Michael never liked Chloe, so why was he so worried about her now?

Michael remained silent, focused entirely on Chloe, even tenderly tucking her sweat-soaked hair behind her ear.

Maya, infuriated by his indifference, was losing her patience.

Meanwhile, Madeline followed the path to the entrance and spotted a car with its high beams on.
