“It’s him!”Cathy walked to the window. The sky was dark outside the window. She could not see Carter’s face clearly, but she could vaguely see his features.“Cathy, do you know Carter Gray?” Jeremy walked over and asked curiously.“Carter Gray?” Cathy repeated this name. There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness on her face. “It’s him indeed.”“Do you really know him?”“I do, but I don’t know if he knows me or not,” Cathy explained. She remembered the time she learned hypnotism when she was overseas. “The year I was learning hypnotism in St. Piaf, Carter would show up every week to teach our class.”When Jeremy heard this, he was surprised.Cathy looked at the car that was driving away outside the window and turned around to go back to the room.“Back then, we would address Carter as Professor Gray out of respect. He was very popular in St. Piaf Academy. Not only he was handsome, brimming with talent, great in hypnotism and psychology, but he also had an amazing family backgr
Actually, he had known the entire time. The man who was living in the deepest part of Cathy’s heart was Felipe.Even though he had hurt her badly and heartlessly aimed the gun at her heart.True love was always an absurd thing.It would not mind the losses or gains, and it would not mind whether one got any response.“Since you’ve decided not to turn back and the end of his life might already be here, then you should let him leave while knowing the truth.” Jeremy walked over to Cathy. “You should bid farewell to him officially. The least you can do is let him know the existence of the children.”After Jeremy said that, he turned around and left.Cathy stood absent-mindedly where she was. She lifted her head to look at the cold night sky outside the window. The sky was as dark as ink, and in that instant, it drowned her heartbeat.…After Carter brought Madeline back to the manor, he quickly hypnotized her again.After sleeping for an entire night, what Carter said to her durin
Madeline had just stepped foot onto the plane when she froze immediately after.“Linnie!”Jeremy screamed continuously.“Linnie, don’t go with him!”Carter lowered his gaze to look at Madeline who was beside him. He turned and used the corners of his eyes to look at Jeremy who was running up to them.“Don’t bother about those irrelevant people. Let’s go,” he said to Madeline, and at the same time, he sped up.Madeline wanted to turn around to look at Jeremy, but after hearing what Carter said, she decided to follow Carter onto the plane.When Jeremy saw that Madeline was not turning around, it felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss. However, he did not give up just like that.He took large strides and chased after them. However, when he was about to get close to Madeline, the door of the plane was shut tightly with a loud thud.The heavy plane door separated them into two different worlds.“Linnie!”Jeremy tried to call out to Madeline again.He knew Madel
“Yeah, it’s that handsome uncle. I’m taking you to see that handsome uncle now.”“Why are we seeing him?” The little guy still had a dumb look on his face.Cathy smiled and was stumped for words.Right, why were they here to see him?Was it to not let him die with regrets?When she thought about this, Cathy felt as if her heart had been stabbed by needles. Once again, her heart was in tremendous pain.When Felipe heard that someone was here to visit him, he thought it was Jeremy. He wanted to ask Jeremy to send a message to the old master for him, but when he went to the conjugal room, he could not believe what he was seeing.“Cathy?”His eyes were filled with astonishment. He could not hide the surprise from overflowing from his eyes.Cathy looked indifferently at the man whose face was filled with joy. He looked very haggardly to her, and his beautiful black eyes looked bloodshot. However, since he was happy, he looked pretty energetic now.After looking at him for a while,
Felipe was not saying anything. He only watched Cathy’s back quietly.The outline of her figure had already become blurry due to the tears in his eyes.‘Cath.‘You remember.‘When you said that.‘This is fine.‘You can pretend not to know so we can bid farewell here.‘Adam will be good to you, right?‘At least, he’ll treat you better than I did.’He lowered his eyes and chuckled in self-mockery. He realized that happiness was just within arm’s reach but he pushed this happiness away.While he was immersed in his silence, Felipe heard Cathy saying softly.“Felipe, I’ll see you never.”‘I’ll see you never.’He had never felt how heartbreaking these four words were, but now, he felt it.He stared fixedly at Cathy and said with a smile on his face, “Alright, I’ll see you never.”Yes, never.He would not choose to appeal. The only thing waiting for him would be the death penalty. There would not be another possibility anymore.After Cathy got Felipe’s answer, she stood quie
In the end, Felipe still managed to guess the truth accurately.Cathy had her back toward him, and her tone was still indifferent. “You’re overthinking. They’re my and Adam’s children. How could I have given birth to the children of a man who wanted to kill me?”“...”“I would never.”After Cathy said that decisively, she took the children out of the conjugal room without stopping.Felipe felt as if he had all of his energy sucked out from him. His entire body went limp, and he seemed depressed.Cathy held the children’s hands and quickly walked to the entrance. She knew that Felipe would not chase after them, but it felt like if she was a second slower, he could catch up to them and see the entire truth.However, maybe he had already seen through them.“Ouch!”Her son’s pained grunts came from her side. Cathy stopped suddenly and realized that her son had fallen because she was walking too fast.Cathy quickly squatted and apologized. She comforted him, saying, “I’m sorry, Ju
Jeremy did not know this woman who appeared in front of him, but Ada immediately acted as if she was very familiar with him.“You're Jeremy Whitman. I know you.” Ada raised a sweet smile. “Hello, my name is Ada. I know you want to find Eveline. I can help you.”After Ada fully stated the purpose of her visit, Jeremy inevitably became suspicious.“Who are you? How do you know what I’m going to do here? Why should I believe that you’ll help me?”Ada smiled even brighter when she heard those words. “Can I go in and talk to you? It seems a little inconvenient to stand and talk out here.”After she said that, there happened to be a guest staying in the hotel passing by the corridor.Jeremy weighed the pros and cons as fast as he could before opening the door.“Come in.”Ada smiled in satisfaction and followed Jeremy into the room.After entering the room, she did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “I’m Carter's childhood sweetheart. I always thought that when he grew up, it
After Ada left the hotel, she went straight to Gray Manor.Inside the study.Carter was leisurely drinking black tea, and he was not surprised to see Ada coming in.Ada walked over tremblingly while looking at the man sitting in front of her.“Carty, it's already done. Jeremy will show up at the celebration ceremony on time tomorrow.”Carter raised his long fingers and flipped through the book in front of him casually. “Are you sure he really believes what you told him?”Ada nodded affirmatively. “His purpose is just to take Eveline away, so as long as there’s a slim chance, he’ll try.”Upon hearing this, Carter closed the book while feeling very satisfied. He slowly raised his mysterious black eyes.“The reason why you can still come through this door is that you still have a little value. It’s best if you know your place and don't lose your only value.”Ada's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Carter a little nervously and kept her promise.“Carty, I’ll never do st
