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
She stood by the balcony and remained unmoved, her eyes lingering on the bloodstain on the floor. It was the blood from Jeremy's wound last night.Looking at the dried-up blood, Madeline's eyes were imposing and firm.‘Jeremy, I took the wrong step.‘But I think I won’t be wrong again in my next step.’Click.The sound of the door opening came from behind.Madeline heard footsteps approaching her, but it did not sound like it was Carter.Madeline calmly looked back and saw Ada wearing a gorgeous Lolita costume as she walked toward her with a look of disdain and arrogance.“Hmph.” Ada sneered, “I really don't know what kind of charm a married woman who has three children like you has. Eveline, what means did you use to get Carty to take you as his wife? Can you teach me?”Seeing Ada's disdainful face, Madeline behaved more contemptuously than her.“Miss Ada, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be innocent? With a character like yours, it’ll be difficult for an
Listening to Madeline's words and seeing the self-confidence on her face, the smile on Carter’s handsome face became deeper.“What you just said makes me look forward to your next performance even more.” He smiled. There seemed to be a flash of excitement in his eyes.Madeline was about to speak when she raised her eyes to see Camille walk in with a dull expression on her face.“Carter, there’s still time. Think about this more clearly.” Camille persuaded again.However, Carter was firm. “I’ve been thinking about this very clearly from the beginning. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now.”“...Carter.”Carter glanced at the time on his watch nonchalantly and then summoned the maids.The maids waiting outside the door trotted in immediately. “Mr. Carter.”“Help the future young madam put her veil on. The wedding ceremony will begin soon.”“Yes, Mr. Carter,” the maids responded immediately.Madeline stood calmly, letting the white veil fall on her face. The sharpness and tena
