“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
Madeline closed the door of the study lightly before locking it. Then, she went back to the desk. After rummaging for more than ten minutes, she finally found a stack of information about Jeremy in the drawer.The information was very detailed. The trifles that happened to Jeremy when he was in school were also recorded.‘What is Carter trying to do?’The more Madeline read the information compiled, the more anxious she felt.Jeremy must have no idea that this mysterious man was investigating him, right?After Madeline read the stack of documents, she tried to see if she could turn on Carter’s computer.She thought the computer was locked, but she accidentally found that she could turn it on directly.Madeline saw the few folders on the desktop and she opened one randomly. However, she did not expect her photo with Jeremy to appear on the screen.The moment she saw the photo and information, Madeline felt her heart leap into her throat.Anyone would feel uncomfortable if a str
In the past, Madeline felt that Jeremy's eyes seemed to make her feel as if she was being seen through, but at this moment, Carter's gaze also gave her this feeling.“You know what I’ve figured out, Mr. Carter?” Madeline asked with a puzzled smile.Carter smiled without saying a word. His gaze moved closer to Madeline, and the slight smile on his lips looked very intriguing.“You want to tell me that you’ve figured it out and you don't want to fall in love with that Jeremy like a fool anymore. You don't even want to go back to Whitman Manor and you want to stay by my side, no?”“...”Madeline was stunned. She had indeed wanted to tell him this lie, but she never thought that Carter could see through her at a glance.Seeing Madeline looking at him blankly, the smile on Carter's lips became deeper.“What a coincidence. I think so too. If you don't want to go back, you can stay by my side in the future.” His tone softened a lot. “I'm going out now. Do you want to come with me?”Ca
