Jeremy looked at the lying butler and did not waste his time questioning him. He followed Carter’s entourage into the living room.Carter was sitting on the sofa of the living room. He was flipping through a book lazily while sipping on his tea. When he saw Jeremy, he put down his book and teacup before getting up to greet him courteously.“Mr. Whitman, welcome to my house. Please sit.”Jeremy looked around the living room but did not see Madeline anywhere. He furrowed his brows and felt an unknown sense of anxiety in his heart.“Mr. Gray, I’m not here as a guest. I’m here to take my wife Eveline home.” Jeremy was feeling agitated, but he was trying his best to control himself and stay cool.Carter looked at the deeply worried look that was showing faintly in Jeremy’s eyes. However, he displayed a confused look instead.“I’ve asked my driver to drive Mrs. Whitman home ten minutes ago. Did she not tell you?”“You asked your driver to send my wife home?” Jeremy was confused. He ha
Carter sat leisurely at the desk and watched Madeline who was lying on the bed silently. His long fingers were fiddling with the recording pen.After he turned the switch on, the recording pen repeated these sentences, “Jeremy, I’m home now. My phone is running out of battery. I’ll see you later.”After listening to it a few times, Carter tossed the recording pen to one side.Then, he took out a book about psychology on the table. When he was about to read it, he noticed signs of Madeline, who was on the bed, waking up from the corners of his eyes.He closed the book, and his round fingertips glided across the book about hypnosis. He walked to the side of the bed.“Eveline.”He called Madeline’s name softly.Madeline furrowed her brows. She wanted to open her eyes, but it seemed as if she was stuck in a deep dream.“Eveline, imagine a gigantic crystal ball in front of you. Now, the crystal ball will bring you to the world that initially belonged to you. Now, open your eyes.”M
After hearing what Camille said, Carter continued to flip through the book in his hand slowly.He understood Camille’s concerns, but he had his own plans.“I know what’s her purpose, so don’t worry. Everything’s in my control.” Carter’s tone was irreverent. However, the assurance in his voice sounded pretty confident.After Madeline went back to her room to wash up, she went downstairs.When she saw Carter and Camille in the living room, she walked toward Carter naturally and smiled before greeting Camille.“Hello, Aunty Cammy.”“...” Camille did not expect Madeline to greet her like this.After that night, she had a pretty good impression of Madeline. However, when she remembered Madeline and Jeremy’s relationship, she felt a headache coming again.She did not ask too much. Instead, she smiled and walked away.Carter placed the book in his hand down and walked over to Madeline. A warm smile appeared on his handsome face. “Do you feel better after the nap? Do you want me to ta
He was happy to see her because he thought something bad had happened to her.However, at the same time, Jeremy felt dissatisfied. “Carter, you lied and said you sent my wife home. If that’s the case, why is she here?”Jeremy questioned Carter. Then, he grabbed her hand to take her home.“Linnie, I’ll take you home.”Jeremy grabbed Madeline and was about to leave but unexpectedly, Madeline removed her hand out of his grip all of a sudden.“What are you doing?” Madeline asked with displeasure on her face.Jeremy heard that and his expression changed immediately as well. He asked, “Linnie, what’s wrong?”“Why are you calling me in such an intimate way? Do I know you?” Madeline asked coldly.In that instant, Jeremy felt a chill surging from the bottom of his feet to his heart.He looked absent-mindedly at Madeline who looked impatient. For a second, he was at a loss.“Linnie?”When Madeline heard Jeremy calling her again, she furrowed her brows and walked over to Carter.“Cart
Madeline’s answer felt like a clap of thunder striking above Jeremy’s head.He felt as if his thoughts were being tugged at violently. He could not believe what he had just heard.However, Jeremy tried his best to control his emotions and make himself calm. He explained patiently, “Linnie, you’ve never married another man aside from me in your life.”Yet, Madeline only peered at Jeremy coldly. “I know my business. You don’t have to spew so much nonsense with me. I don’t want to hear it.”Madeline said while walking to Carter.Carter curled the corners of his lips quietly and pulled Madeline behind him.When Jeremy saw this, he felt his heart growing cold. Back then, she would only stand behind him and they would face everything together fearlessly. However, she was standing behind another man now.The more Jeremy thought about this, the more confused he was. He could not accuse Madeline of anything, so he shifted his questioning and hostile gaze to Carter.“Mr. Gray, aren’t you
However, the way she looked at him was cold and there were no emotions.Jeremy could only watch as Madeline went upstairs.Jeremy did not want to cause any trouble for Madeline, so he only questioned Carter after Madeline went upstairs.“Carter, what did you do to my wife?”Carter remained calm. “She’s staying out of her own will. I didn’t do anything to her.”There was depth behind his words. “Perhaps I have some secrets that she wants to find out so that’s why she’s doing this. What do you think, Mr. Whitman?”After Carter asked this, Jeremy suddenly remembered something.‘Is Linnie doing this because she wants to know why Carter is investigating me?’Jeremy asked himself. This was the only reason that he could think of to explain why Madeline was being so cruel to him.However, no matter how he thought about this, Jeremy could not see through the way Madeline had looked at him and the way she treated him just now. It did not look like she was pretending or acting. It looked
After saying that, Jeremy realized he just had a slip of the tongue.“I’m sorry, Miss Young.” Jeremy quickly corrected himself.“You didn’t get my name wrong. I am Cathy.” Cathy lifted her sad eyes and looked into Jeremy’s surprised eyes.Jeremy was confused. When he was about to ask what was going on, Adam walked out of the room.When he saw Jeremy, Adam looked as if he was letting out a sigh of relief. “Go in now. I think you should be able to buy some time for him.”“Got it.” Jeremy expressed his acknowledgment. When he was about to go in, he heard Cathy asking worriedly.“Is he really going to prison?”Jeremy stopped in his tracks and turned around. He saw intense melancholy on Cathy’s face and in her eyes.“Do you hope that he’ll go to prison or do you hope that he’ll be fine?” Jeremy gave Cathy a multiple-choice question.Cathy stared blankly at Jeremy. At that instant, she did not know how to answer him.Jeremy did not say anything after seeing her spacing out. He knoc
The Interpol agent warned seriously.“Felipe Whitman, we’re going to arrest you for these two crimes. You have the right to hire a lawyer to help you with your case, but the chance of you winning is near to zero…”“I plead guilty.” Before the person could finish talking, Felipe opened his mouth. “I plead guilty to all of the crimes.”“Felipe.” Jeremy almost could not control himself as he said, “Cathy’s not dead. Amy is Cathy. You didn’t kill anyone.”“Mr. Whitman, are you saying that the victim of Felipe’s planned murder is still alive?” the Interpol agent asked in surprise.Jeremy nodded in certainty. “Yes, that woman is still alive and well.”“Where is she now?”“She’s…”“Jeremy,” Felipe called out to Jeremy, “I’ve admitted to my crimes, so there’s nothing to say now.”After Felipe said that, the door of the room was pushed open.“I’m here.”Cathy walked in straight.“I’m that woman and I’m not dead. Also, I don’t plan to sue this person.”Felipe looked at Cathy who was
