He strode to the balcony and saw that Jeremy's figure had passed through the guests. He was walking toward the door unharmed.Carter did not expect Jeremy to have such jumping ability. However, he could not do anything right now.He turned back to the room and saw Madeline who was still sleeping. He glanced at the crystal ball in his hand and walked slowly to the bed to wake Madeline.After Madeline opened her eyes, she looked dumb for a brief moment. She was confused and ignorant about everything around her like she was a child.After a while, she regained her senses.“I saw Jeremy coming here,” Madeline voiced out the doubt in her heart.Carter nodded. “He was here. He tried to take you away, but I’ve already driven him away.”Madeline frowned upon hearing this. “He’s so annoying.”“I won't let him bother you again,” Carter promised. “After our wedding ceremony is completed, I’ll take you back to Glendale to settle down.”“Back to Glendale?” Madeline looked puzzled. “Why are
It happened so suddenly that Carter could not have expected it at all.He hurried to the bed and reached out to pat Madeline's cheek. “Eveline, Eveline!”Carter yelled several times, but Madeline was unresponsive.Unsure of what had caused Madeline to pass out, Carter called the family doctor immediately.Camille was waiting for Carter to bring Madeline downstairs when suddenly, she heard the news of Madeline fainting.She hurriedly walked back to the bedroom and saw that the doctor had just finished examining Madeline.“What's the matter? How could she have fainted suddenly?” Camille asked impatiently.After the doctor's examination, he frowned with a troubled look on his face. “After checking, Miss Montgomery has no other problems. Her blood pressure is normal too. It may be due to hypoxia that’s due to her hypoglycemia.”“Hypoglycemia?” Camille frowned. “Then, when will she wake up?”“She should wake up soon.”Camille silently breathed a sigh of relief. “Carter, you should
Carter's cold gaze swept across Ada's face. “You can go back too.”“...”Ada pressed her lips together. Although she was very reluctant, she did not have another choice. As such, she could only pretend to be sensible and said to Camille in concern.“Aunty Cammy, I'll be heading back first. You’ve been busy the whole day today. Please rest early.”Camille waved her hand. “Go back first, then.”Ada did not dare to say much and left soon after.“Is she still unconscious?” Camille's tone was slightly dissatisfied.Carter nodded. “Maybe she has been too tense these days, so that's why she’s like this.”“Does she already have three children with that Jeremy guy?”Camille suddenly changed the subject, but Carter looked calm.“I don’t care how many children she had before this.”“...Y-You don't you care?” Camille was surprised and stood up. “Carter, do you like Eveline to such an extent?”“I do.” Carter listened to the words he said and smiled vaguely. “Rest early. We still have a
Madeline immediately turned on the lights, and at a glance, she saw blood seeping from Jeremy's left ankle glaringly.He was hurt.It seemed that the injury was serious.Jeremy looked down at the bleeding wound on his ankle. Despite the discomfort, he endured the pain to return to Madeline.“Linnie, I can't just watch you wed another man. I must take you out of here now.”Madeline's gaze stayed for a moment at Jeremy's injured ankle, then she raised her tough and unyielding eyes.“I won't leave.” She was still so determined. “Jeremy, for the sake of our previous relationship as husband and wife, I’ll give you a chance to leave now. You’d better not throw yourself into this trap, do you understand?”She stared at Jeremy's increasingly lonely and hurt deep eyes. “Get out of here now.”Jeremy stared into Madeline's firm eyes. Suddenly, he tugged the corners of his lips into a smile. “Okay, I'll leave right away.”“There seem to be some strange movements in the room.” Suddenly, a
This response from Madeline was like a cure for the wound. Suddenly, Jeremy felt that it was worth it even if he was hurting.He raised his hand naturally, and his cool fingertips landed on Madeline's cheek.Madeline paused. She did not resist. Instead, she just moved quicker to wrap the gauze around his ankle before putting away the first aid kit.“Come with me.”She stood up as she spoke. Under the dim light, she accurately found the door.Jeremy understood what Madeline meant. She was going to take him out of here.Even if Madeline's expression was very cold and indifferent at this moment, Jeremy did not think so anymore.Madeline bypassed the places where the maids who were still awake might pass by and led Jeremy to the back door.“Go now.” Her attitude was still so cold and resolute.Jeremy nodded very obediently this time. “Okay, I'll leave right away, but Linnie, I won't let you continue to stay in this place alone.”Madeline looked at Jeremy after hearing the words.
Upon hearing this, Madeline's eyes froze for a second.She stared at the deep smiling eyes in front of her, and suddenly, a shuddering sensation came up from the soles of her feet.This man had seen through her, but he was so calm.When he saw that Madeline was silent and did not look like she was going to conceal or defend herself, Carter's eyes had a touch of appreciation.“Can you tell me when this happened?” Carter asked mildly, “When did the hypnosis break?”Madeline changed her docile attitude that she had from before. At this moment, her eyes were full of sharpness and even her tone suddenly became increasingly rigid.“Then can you also tell me what’s your purpose for doing this? Why are you collecting information about my husband and why do you want to hypnotize me to instill that kind of information? Also, what’s your purpose of bringing me here?”Madeline voiced out all of the doubts in her mind. After the series of questions left her lips, Carter laughed lowly.He pu
“Yes, Mr. Carter,” one of the maids quickly responded and walked to Madeline's side.Madeline glanced at Carter who was as calm as ever and then at the doughty bodyguards beside him. She did not have another choice except to go back to the room.After returning, Madeline looked at the remaining bloodstains on the floor. When she thought of Jeremy bleeding out in pain just now, her heart ached.“Jeremy…”Madeline fiddled with the wedding ring on her ring finger. When she thought about her cold attitude toward Jeremy before, she felt even more embarrassed.Click.The door was suddenly opened again.Madeline looked up and saw Carter holding the doorknob as he stood leisurely in front of the room.“Tomorrow's wedding ceremony will be held as usual. I hope Miss Montgomery can continue to cooperate with me. I think you should also want to see Jeremy leave St. Piaf safely.”After he said that, Carter closed the door decisively.Madeline clenched her fingers and looked at the moon ou
Carter slowly walked in. He could vaguely guess that something had happened from Camille's unhappy expression.“Carter, you still have a chance to act since those relatives and friends are not here yet.” Camille sternly persuaded and looked back at Madeline. “How can you marry a woman who’s already married? You have to break off this marriage now!”“I will not break off this marriage.” Carter's answer was straightforward.Camille was stunned for a moment, and her face was full of disbelief. “Carter, are you crazy? Jeremy and her are still husband and wife!”“So what?” Carter asked nonchalantly, meeting Madeline's resisting gaze. Suddenly, he smiled. “I only know that my marriage certificate with Eveline has already taken effect, and my marriage with her is protected by the marriage law in St. Piaf.”“...”Camille was speechless for a while.Carter smiled lightly and looked at Madeline with a cold expression. “Get ready, the wedding ceremony will begin soon.”“Carter!” Camille w
