Chapter 24 My Best Friend Wants to Avenge Me
At street café
Zeke probably didn’t expect Rosalie to force him to meet in this manner. He showed up in rage,

“I understand that you want to find your friend, but you’re very wrong to employ this method!” Zeke frowned and lectured
“So tell me, what’s the correct way to get things done? Should I wait for the police to solve the case? It’s been ages! How desperate must she be if she’s been waiting for someone to save her?” Rosalie lost some control of her emotions and shouted at Zeke,
Zeke’s complexion looked grim as he rubbed his eyebrows.
“I understand your feelings.
“You don’t understand Rosalie interrupted Zeke..
Zeke fell silent. He looked at Rosalie and stopped talking altogether,
“If I hadn’t filed the police report about Maddy’s disappearance, no one would have called, and you wouldn’t have filed a case. She doesn’t have any parents or anything else in her life! She only has me! If I don’t care about her, she will truly disappear.” Rosalie’s eyes had turned red, but she stubbornly clenched her hands.”
I knew that she must be very sad right now.
Because her body was shaking
“Rosa, I’m begging you. Don’t do anything impulsive!” I can only implore Rosalie to avoid acting rashly and becoming the bait. She should just forget about me and live her own life.
However, Rosalie was determined to find me.
“Don’t promise her, Zeke! Don’t do it!” I cried and begged Zeke not to agree.
Zeke remained silent for a long time and finally spoke, “I’m sorry; I don’t understand your reason, nor do I understand Madeline well. From the statement given by Marcus and his friends, your friend isn’t a good person, and she is vile.”
“Bullsh*t Rosalie shouted angrily. Those people are demons and scums! Who are they to say that Maddy is a bad person? What qualifications do they have? They’re the ones who hurt Maddy from the start. Marcus is a rapist! Aren’t you a cop? You should go and arrest him! Gol
Rosalie lost control and violently pushed Zeke away. In tears, she demanded that he arrest Marcus.
Zeke was overwhelmed with her response. He’s probably not very good at dealing with girls‘ emotions.
When Rosalie cried, I cried along with her. When she frantically pushed Zeke, I also lost control and wanted to hug her.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t hold her, and neither could she save me.
“Zeke! You’re a police officer. You shouldn’t rely solely on the words of others. Maddy isn’t the kind of person that they claimed. I’ll prove it to you” Rosalie suddenly quieted down, presumably having vented enough.
Her quietness was more frightening than being out of control.
“What air you trying to do!” Zeke asked.
Tomorrow night, I will wear a red dress and pass by Bronze Street. If one day doesn’t work, then I’ll do it for two days, three days. There will always be a day when I successfully lure that madman out.” Rosalie clasped her hands tightly as her body quivered.
“What kind of friend is worth risking your life?” Zeke was a little annoyed, and he lit a cigarette in the smoking area.

Rosalie smiled weakly and said, “Do you want to understand who Madeline is? Come with me. I’ll take you and reintroduce you to Madeline,”
Zeke didn’t say anything and followed behind Rosalie.
I also trailed them tightly from behind.
“Madeline is a good student. She has always been in first place in our class
Rosalie drove and escorted Zeke to Springhill.
That was the neighbourhood where I was born and grew up.
Rosalie knew where my house’s key was. This place was a haven for the two of us when we
e went
it to school.
“Madeline is very pretty and has always been the campus belle,” Rosalie took out a key from a pair of shoes. She opened the door and walked in.
There was a picture hanging in the living room foyer. It was a beautiful artistic photo of me when I participated in a ballet performance.
I looked as beautiful as a swan in the photo, dressed in a white dance costume. The photo took place when I was eighteen years old.
“Very beautiful indeed,” Zeke looked at the photo and agreed.
“After her parents died in a car accident, the company collapsed and owed a lot of money. In fact, Madeline didn’t need to repay that money, but she still took her parents‘ insurance money and gave it to those people, leaving not a single cent for
herself.
Rosalie took out a box from the drawer and continued, “After she went to college, she gave me her scholarship every year. Together, we donated it to the children in the orphanage. She said that children without parents are too lonely.”
“Bang!” Abruptly, someone pushed open the apartment door.
Stephan stood in the doorway as he breathed heavily. His eyes were bloodshot.
I stood in the doorway and looked at him in shock. Wasn’t he taken away by the Coltons?
This wasn’t right. How did he have a key to my house?
Rosalie also looked at Stephan in shock. She asked, “Who are you?“,
Zeke subconsciously stepped forward and held Stephan against the wall. He questioned, “Why are you here?”
“Maddy‘ Maddy!” he called out my name with difficulty, in a trembling and hoarse voice.
Zeke frowned and let him go.
Stephan turned around and ran away, motioning for Rosalie and Zeke to follow him.
I panicked and tried to stop Rosalie, begging. “Rosa, don’t believe him! He’s a murderer! Don’t go! Don’t go with him!”
