Madeline saw a lot of guests arriving one after another from the front door as she sat by the window.Everyone who arrived was wearing expensive clothes and had luxury jewelry adorned on them.Carter’s friends were wealthy and respectable people, indeed.She noticed it was almost time for the party, so Madeline planned to tidy herself up before going out. However, at this moment, the door of the dressing room opened.Madeline thought Carter was here to get her, but she saw Ada smirking coldly at her arrogantly and disdainfully while strutting over to her.She looked at what Madeline was wearing and scoffed.“Hmph, Eveline, don’t be so delusional and expect to have a Cinderella story happening to you. Even if you’re engaged to Carty, it doesn’t mean you’ll marry him.”Madeline did not want to waste time bickering with Ada. As such, she smiled calmly and asked, “Who are you to think that I need a Cinderella story?”“Tsk.” Ada rolled her eyes. “Are you telling me that you’re born
After Ada heard that, she looked over to where her mother was looking and saw a brat.She knew that boy. He was the son of one of the guests attending the party. His name was Luke and he was very mischievous.Ada did not like this boy because he had lost one of her limited edition earrings before this.She did not understand what her mother was trying to say, but soon, she heard her mother whispering in her ear.After a few sentences, an evil grin appeared on Ada’s face.“Mom, only you can come up with such a scheme.”“Of course!” Ada’s mother was feeling pleased with herself. “You should go and worm your way into a relationship with him using this opportunity.”Ada previously wanted nothing to do with this child, but now, she approached him happily.Madeline wanted to go back immediately after the party, but suddenly, a crowd started gathering around her unbeknownst to her.These people were all congratulating Carter. However, after they congratulated him, they started gossip
“Bride! You’re a bride?” The little boy looked at Madeline and doubted.Madeline nodded and smiled. “Hello, buddy.”However, after Madeline greeted him, the little boy showed a look of contempt. “The bride’s voice is so unpleasant!”When the guests around him heard this, their faces changed. However, they did feel that Madeline’s voice sounded hoarse.However, Ada’s heart was thrilled, and she did not notice the changes in Carter’s expression. Then, she pushed the little boy’s hand again.The little boy received Ada’s message and lifted his face to look at Madeline.“I want to see the bride,” the little boy requested with a pout. “They say the bride is very beautiful, so I want to see the beautiful bride. I want to see!”Carter smiled superficially. “If you want to see a bride so badly, you can go look at them in bridal shops. There are a lot of them over there.”After he said that, he grabbed Madeline’s hand and displayed a rare but gentle smile. “I’ll go back to the room with
Madeline did not expect a child that young to be so sinister.It seemed that not every child was as innocent, pure, and wonderful as Jack and Lily.“Wow!” the little boy exclaimed when he saw Madeline’s face. Everyone around her started to show looks of surprise on their faces too.Ada and her mother stood somewhere not far away from Madeline. When they saw the little boy holding Madeline’s face mask in his hand, they looked at each other and beamed happily.Finally, they had attained their goal!They finally removed Madeline’s mask from her face!They could finally let everyone see Madeline’s face that was covered with scars!When Ada and her mother saw the guests’ shocked expressions, they quickly ran over to where she was. They could not wait to see Madeline’s horrendous face and how she would embarrass herself in front of everyone!Carter’s mother also hurried over to see Madeline’s face.When Carter saw this, he furrowed his brows in displeasure and chased after those peo
How could she have recovered to this state in just one month?Plus, Eveline’s appearance was so delicate and beautiful!She did not want to admit it, but she did think that Madeline’s beauty was able to defeat hers.No voices were mocking and ridiculing Madeline for being ugly anymore. Now, there were only compliments.Since the start of the party, Camille’s face had been dark. However, things were obviously different now.Madeline did not care how people viewed her. Now, she was only worried about how to muddle through this.She did not say anything, but she felt Carter’s complicated gaze on her.Carter looked at Madeline’s face that was as beautiful as a painting, and his eyes darkened.Suddenly, he grabbed Madeline’s hand. “Let’s go back to our room.”There was nothing wrong with his tone, but Madeline could feel his grip tightening on her hand.Madeline could not escape from Carter’s grip now, so she could only follow him back to the house.Ada watched as Carter left whi
Despite Carter’s aura being super oppressive, Madeline never showed any weakness.He was strong, and she was also not weak.However, because of the power difference between them, Carter utterly defeated Madeline from this aspect.Madeline saw a never-before-seen mischievous smirk on Carter’s face that looked like an iceberg.“I finally know what kind of face a woman with such beautiful eyes and calm grandeur has.”It seemed as if Carter was lamenting when he said the next two words in a thought-provoking manner, “Eveline Montgomery.”“...”Madeline sensed as if Carter had confirmed something. She clenched her fists, and when she was about to fight back, someone knocked at the door.Knock, knock, knock.“Carter, it’s me.” Camille’s voice sounded from outside.Carter removed his hand that was trapping Madeline and lifted his narrow eyes indifferently.“The door’s not locked.”Click. Camille pushed the door open and came in quickly.When she saw Madeline standing next to Cart
“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”“Aunty Cammy, look at this. Look at this!” Ada handed her phone over and pointed to the people on the screen.Camille lowered her head to look. On the screen, she saw the wedding pictures Madeline initially took with Jeremy. Plus, there were also some photos of them attending parties together.“It seems that Eveline was married to the number one young master in Glendale, Jeremy Whitman!” Ada was almost roaring when she said that. Her voice was so loud that even Madeline and Carter could hear her in the study.“What? Jeremy Whitman?” When Camille heard this, she stared at the pictures on the screen with her eyes so wide her eye sockets were about to crack.“Eveline is someone with a family! This is way over the line!”Camille turned back and barged into the study.“Eveline, you…”“I know everything about Eveline. I don’t care who she was with before. I don’t care if she’s married or if she has children. She’s my fiancée now.”Carter
Madeline did not want to be the passive one. She turned around and looked into Carter’s eyes calmly.“Mr. Carter, thank you for helping me out of trouble just now. If you hadn’t helped me just now, I don’t think your mother would’ve believed anything I said.”Carter looked at her with his deep eyes. “I’m just telling her the truth. Your name is just a coincidence and your face is plastic, no?”“...”Madeline had nothing to say to that.Did Carter believe what she said?Madeline was suspicious, but looking at Carter’s expression, it did not seem as if he was suspecting her.“You can’t leave for the time being. You can only leave after all the guests have left.” Carter reminded Madeline, and his gaze once again landed on her face.This face was delicate and flawless. Plus, it was fair and glowing. There were no signs of it having been burned at all.The doctor who treated Madeline must be someone with extraordinary skills.“How did your face manage to recover to this extent in
