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
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
