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
What?Madeline was dazed and astonished. The person in her heart right now was Jeremy.Noticing Madeline's silence, Carter slowly closed the book and faced Madeline's unique starry eyes.“Jeremy Whitman. You still miss this person in your heart, right?”“...”‘This is great.’Madeline simply did not want to look into Carter's eyes. She felt as if he could see through everything at a glance.“I heard that Jeremy was in Y Country for business in the past two days. He’ll arrive at Glendale Airport on time at eight o'clock tonight. I can take you to see him now.”Madeline wanted to pretend to be nonchalant, but what Carter said made her unable to calm down.He actually knew Jeremy's whereabouts clearly, and he even knew that Jeremy had gone to Y Country."It’s very difficult to really forget about someone, so I understand that you’ll still want to see him," Carter added.Madeline curled the corners of her lips. Her smile at this moment appeared extremely stiff. “Thank you for un
Hearing this gentle and sweet voice, Jeremy slowly raised his deep gaze. He looked at the woman who was walking in front of him, and what he found during his investigation in Y Country these two days flashed across in his mind.Naomi saw that Jeremy was looking at herself so intently. As such, she pretended to blink shyly and then spoke in a coquettish tone.“Jeremy, I really missed you during the two days you were away. We haven’t had the time for just the two of us to have a candlelight dinner. Our parents and children are not here tonight, so let us enjoy the time with only the two of us, okay?”Jeremy thought of that night not long ago.He had a candlelight dinner with her in the restaurant.After that, he walked hand in hand with her on the street. He had even kissed her on the street where fireworks bloomed.“Jeremy, what are you thinking about?” Naomi approached curiously, trying to take Jeremy's hand, but Jeremy merely took off his suit jacket. She did not get to hook her
“It's to wake you up.”“…”“Do you really think that you can fool me, Jeremy Whitman, so easily? Do you think I can't even tell who my wife is?”“…”Naomi's flushed face suddenly seemed to be drained of blood. Now, she looked as pale as a sheet of rice paper.He knows?‘Did he see through me a long time ago?’Naomi repeatedly asked herself in her heart while panicking. From Jeremy's cold eyes that were shining sternly at the moment, she felt that she had found the answer.He had indeed found out about it a long time ago!During this period, he did not even have the intention to approach her at all!However, Naomi did not compromise. She tried to argue for herself and showed an aggrieved look. “Jeremy, I don't know what you’re talking about. How could you...”“I can tell you that there’s no banquet at all tonight. I was the one who distracted everyone in order to put an end to your performance tonight.”"..." Naomi looked at Jeremy in disbelief after he said this. This was s
