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
The priest nodded in satisfaction and then turned to ask Madeline.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, are you willing to marry Mr. Carter Gray and be his wife? Are you willing to marry him and support each other for life regardless of pain or illness, sadness or happiness?”Madeline knew that everyone was waiting for her two-word answer, but she knew that there was one person who did not want to hear that.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, please answer my question. Are you willing to—”“I do not,” Madeline decisively interrupted the priest who was repeating the question.Her distinct and resonant voice sounded very clearly in the empty field.Those who heard Madeline's answer were all stunned. Then, it was followed by all kinds of exclamations fueled by shock and surprise.The priest stared at Madeline dumbfoundedly. “Miss Eveline, please answer again. Are you willing to—”“I said, I do not.”“...”Again, Madeline's straightforward answer sounded very outrageous.The crowd was promised a s
After Madeline said this, Carter showed a never-before-seen look of surprise in his eyes.He had thought it was the best threat to use on her because she was previously in prison where she suffered inhumane treatment and suffering, so she was deeply traumatized. It was impossible that she would still want to go back to such a place.However, he never expected that Madeline would say that she was guilty of bigamy so confidently and magnanimously.Although, he had been the one who designed this crime for her.Ada, who was among the crowd, was also stunned when she saw this scene.After being stuck in a daze, she quietly turned around and sneaked to the side.Ada's mother saw this and followed behind her.When she was about to ask Ada what she wanted to do, she saw her daughter taking out her phone and quickly dialing a number.“Hello, is this the police station? I want to make a report. There’s a woman here who committed bigamy.”After reporting to the police, a happy grin appea
