    Chapter 413 Nabbing


    Madeline did not respond to Linda right away. Instead, she took her time to relish her meal. It had


    crossed their mind to send Linda to get information out of Quinn, but they had not established whether


    Linda was worth the trust or that she was willing to extract the information.


    There was a possibility that the n might backfire, and Linda would end up giving out the news about


    the ind to Quinn instead. It would do more harm than good.


    In thest few days, the security team on the ind had been leaking Quinn’s whereabouts to Linda on


    purpose. However, Linda did not take the bait and did not visit Quinn in prison. In fact, Dn even


    allowed Linda out of the ind under the excuse of getting groceries, but Linda said no.


    After several days of observation, Madeline had built a bit of confidence in Linda’s character. The girl


    was not a foolish goody-two-shoes or a wicked manipting woman. All Linda was trying to do was


    fight for her personal gain.


    Although Madeline disapproved of Linda’s reliance on men, Madeline was willing to give Linda an


    opportunity to work for them since thetter had not done anything wrong on the ind.


    Linda took Madeline’s reluctance as a concern that she might meet Quinn and be in cahoots with her.


    So, Linda decided to let the subject be.


    “Alright. You can give it a try.”


    Linda abruptly picked her head back up, and her dim eyes lit up. Linda was aware of her beauty, but


    she was nothing inparison to Madeline. Although Dn did not shut her flirting down, he did not


    treat her any differently than anyone else.


    Worried that she could not win Dn’s heart, Linda came up with an idea to gather intelligence. At


    least, she would appear useful to them.


    That night, Linda secretly sneaked into where Quinn was kept. Since the security team had resorted to


    physical punishment to extract information from Quinn, Linda was startled by her sister’s bloody state.

    “Quinn!” Linda ran over as tears gushed down her cheeks.


    For Linda to be alive and well in front of her, Quinn could not hide the resentment in her eyes. Why?


    Why was she suffering here while Linda was doing well?


    “To think you managed to escape from them.”


    Pretending not to notice the sarcasm on Quinn’s face, Linda untied Quinn and said, “I met a doctor on


    the ind. He’s a nice guy. He pleaded for me and got me a job as a cook on the ind.”


    It was a good thing Quinn was not imprisoned with the others. Otherwise, Linda’s cover would have


    blown.


    “Are you here to save me?” Quinn skeptically sized Linda up. Once her hands were free, Quinn began


    to loosen the rope around her feet.


    “We’re sisters no matter what. How can I possibly watch you die? Besides, my passport is with you…”


    Linda wiped away her tears and looked at Quinn with sadness and helplessness.


    Quinn fell on her bottom to take a breather from the pain before asking, “What happened to the guards


    watching the door?”


    “I drugged their food. I stole the poison from you. I saw you trying toce my food, so I stole the stuff


    and hid it.”


    Linda gave Quinn a begrudging look. Noticing the deep wound on Quinn, Linda felt sorry and patched


    her up quickly.


    As Lind did not seem to be faking it, Quinn ran her fingers along Linda’s hair andplimented, “That’s


    a smart move.”


    “What do we do now, Quinn? We can’t get to sea without a boat.” While tending to Linda’s wound,


    Linda asked with concern.


    Quinn fixated on Linda’s face before beckoning her toe closer. Thinking that Quinn wanted to say


    something in secret, Linda unsuspectingly drew near.


    s, Quinn grabbed a brick and whacked Linda on the head.


    She then removed Linda’s clothes to switch the outfit between them. Quinn tied Linda''s hands and feet


    up before letting her hair down so that Linda hung off the wall with her head down.


    It had been a full day since the people on the ind checked on Quinn, so it would buy Quinn some


    time before they discovered Linda was held there instead of her.


    “Be an angel, my dear sister, and take the suffering in my stead.” Quinn then left the room without


    looking back. She bore no guilt for Linda. In fact, Quinn was smug that she came up with the old


    switcheroo.


    Quinn exited the room and saw the four unconscious guards at the door. Not one to wander around,


    Quinn made her way straight into the nearby forest.


    “Ms. Grant, the snake has left the building,” Albert told Madeline, who was enjoying a cup of tea in a


    seated position.


    Madeline let out a chuckle and put the cup down before walking out. Today was the day Madeline was


    going to catch the mastermind Quinn was working for.


    The feud between Madeline and the mastermind was determined the moment thetter tried to kill her


    children.


    “You can leave the matter in our hands, Ms. Grant. You…” Albert tried to talk Madeline out of it since


    Madeline was not doing well health-wise. It was uncertain when her dizzy spells would act up again.


    Madeline did not take Albert’s advice seriously as she knew her own body. Madeline believed she


    should be able tost twelve hours before passing out.


    Hence, Madeline paid no mind to Albert and took two hired guns with her to follow Quinn into the


    woods.


    Quinn did not go deep into the forest and merely bypassed the security outside the residence through


    the woods before standing on the beach to send a beacon.


    She hid the distress re between her girls. Due to her voluptuous figure, the young guards did not


    discover the pyrotechnic device during the search.


    An hour and a half after the distress re lit in the sky, a boat silently approached the further coast from


    the vi.


    Albert signaled to Madeline whether to go ahead with the arrest, but Madeline raised her arm to stay


    back. She ordered him to prepare a submarine.


    She believed the mastermind would not personallye and pick Quinn up.


    Soon, Quinn got onboard the boat. The unlit boat quietly drifted away from the coast.


    Meanwhile, Madeline’s midget submarine was ready to set out. Madeline got into the submarine and


    locked down on Quinn’s boat through the radar.


    The vessels navigated through the sea for more than an hour.


    Albert was on tenterhooks every time Madeline let out a yawn.


    “Ms. Grant, get some rest. I’ll call you when we get there.”


    “Sure.” Since Madeline was tired, she took Albert’s suggestion.


    Albert woke Madeline up two hourster. Quinn’s boat had reached ashore.


    “I have eyes on shore. Don’t worry.” With Madeline rushing to put on her shoes, Albert put her mind at


    ease.


    Madeline gave a nod. Still, she wanted to get the mastermind right away.


    Once Madeline led Albert and the rest arrived onnd, Quinn had left the dock in a car. It was a good


    thing Albert had people waiting by the shore, so they did not lose the target.


    “Where are you now?” Noah suddenly gave Madeline a call. He sounded anxious and furious.


    “I’m busy now. Talk to youter.” Madeline caught a glimpse of Quinn and a man’s side profile when


    Quinn’s ride was turning a corner. Not in the mood for chatter, Madeline urged the driver to go faster.
