Madeline abruptly lifted her head when she heard the voice, and she saw a surprised Camille.Madeline smiled faintly. “Madam Gray, why do you think I’m here? Your son invited me here, of course.”“...” Camille was momentarily silent. She understood what Madeline was saying. Carter had obviously brought her here against her will.Camille did not know what to say to Madeline. At this moment, Shirley reached out and grabbed her hand.“Aunty Cammy, I know you hate me because I left without a word back then, but I hope you can promise me something, for the sake of our past relationship.”Shirley grabbed Camille’s hand tightly.“Let Eveline go.”Camille was stunned when she heard that. She did not reject her directly. It was clear that there was a slight hesitation.She looked at Madeline. Camille was already moved.“Aunty Cammy, Eveline is innocent. Don’t drag her into my relationship with Carter again.”The corners of Shirley’s eyes grew warmed as she spoke.“Our child had ended
Madeline walked onto the balcony. She habitually lifted her hand to touch the wedding ring on her ring finger, but she felt nothing there.How could she have forgotten? She had taken off the ring to leave it on the carpet of the hotel back then.It should be with Jeremy now.She believed Jeremy must have seen the clues she left.“Jeremy, I didn’t think we'd do this again.“But this time, he might completely erase my memory so that he can control my thoughts and memories.“I hope you can understand why I had been so cruel back then. I know you’ll understand.”Madeline murmured as she stared toward the clear sky.Click. The sound of the door opening could be heard from behind her. Madeline could tell who it was from the footsteps alone.“I think you should be ready.” Carter’s nonchalant voice drifted over.Madeline stood her ground, unmoving, ignoring Carter.Carter did not care that Madeline was ignoring him. He merely approached her slowly.“Let me tell you something. Jerem
Carter was a little dazed as he looked at Madeline who had started to enter the state of hypnosis. He had not heard it wrongly. Madeline had just said someone’s name, and that someone was not Jeremy.This deviated from Carter’s hypnosis plan.He looked at Madeline and he tried to pull Madeline’s thoughts together again.“Eveline, I’m asking you again. Who did you see in this crystal ball?”When Madeline heard Carter’s questions, she closed her eyes and, cooperatively and naturally, answered, “Lily. I saw my precious daughter, Lily.”When Carter heard this answer again, he could be sure that the person Madeline missed the most right now was her daughter, Lillian.Lillian was in F Country, and Madeline did not know about her condition and where she was staying. No wonder she missed Lillian so much.Even though Madeline’s reaction altered Carter’s plan at the last minute, he was able to adapt to the situation very quickly.Of course, he had always been confident with his hypnosis
“That’s what happened.” Carter insisted this was what happened, but his eyes were extremely gentle at this moment. “Shirley, you don’t need to bother yourself with any of this. You just need to recuperate properly. Don’t worry, no matter how much effort and money it’ll take, I’ll cure you and make you stand up again.”After promising her, Carter rose to his feet and walked behind Shirley to push her wheelchair slowly.Shirley had nothing to say. There were only silent tears falling from her eyes.She knew that Carter was determined in insisting on his so-called revenge as if he was presently hypnotized by something unseen. Carter, too, did not speak further but merely pushed Shirley forward...After Carter had sent Shirley back to her room, she kept feeling that something was not amiss.She was certain that Carter had already performed the advanced hypnosis on Madeline, but she had no idea how would Madeline act after she was in the advanced hypnosis stage.She wanted to go out
“Eveline…”Shirley looked at Madeline who entered with slow steps. Shirley had a feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of her, but she could not put a finger on it.Once entered, Madeline glanced at Camille with a slight smile and then shifted her gaze to Shirley.“Are you... a friend of my fiancé?”“...” Shirley was stunned for a moment. When she heard Madeline's words, she was convinced that Madeline had indeed been deeply hypnotized.Madeline’s thoughts were no longer her own. What she said and did was all per Carter's intentions.Shirley merely looked at Madeline without speaking.Upon seeing that Shirley did not respond, Madeline repeated in a friendly manner.“I remember you. You’re Shirley. I seem to have had some unpleasant experiences with you back then, but Carter told me that those are all in the past. Plus, he and I will have a wedding soon. I hope the unhappiness between us can be blown away by this joyous wedding.”The way Madeline spoke
Suddenly, she heard Madeline’s joyful exclaims.Camille was stunned when she heard that, but she understood why Madeline would say that.Carter had hypnotized Madeline, so in the current Madeline's thoughts, Carter was the Jeremy she loved for many years.Her thoughts and eyes were blinded by an illusion.She still loved Jeremy. This was something that hypnotism could not change. All Carter could do was cover up the truth.“Yeah, you guys are finally getting married. Congratulations.” Camille went along and gave Madeline her blessings.Madeline smiled upon hearing that. When she lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes lit up with surprise.She looked into the distance and said sweetly, “Carter.”Madeline called out. When she looked at the approaching man, Jeremy's appearance reflected in her pupils, and the name she called out was still Jeremy in her subconscious mind.Carter pursed his lips into a smile as he walked towards Madeline very cooperatively.Camille saw this and walke
Shirley's wheelchair stopped as Carter finished speaking.A rare, cheerful smile appeared on Carter’s face when he saw Shirley stopped moving away from him.“Shirley, I know that, in your heart, I’m an obsessive bastard right now, but no matter what, you’re still the only woman in my life.”Upon hearing Carter's answer, Shirley's fingers gradually tightened around the switch of the wheelchair.Tears surged in her eyes, but she resisted, refraining the tears from falling.Additionally, she did not answer Carter. She silently pressed the switch on the wheelchair again, continuing her way to the door.Carter quietly watched Shirley's fading figure. His heartbeat was frantic, and his eyes darkened.“Jeremy, you’ll soon get a taste of my pain.”As soon as Carter said this, his phone rang.He glanced at his phone, and an intrigued smile appeared on the corner of his lips.“You’re finally here, Jeremy.”Carter said and left.As soon as he stepped out of the door, his entourage hur
Even if he had to go into a tiger’s den, Jeremy would barge in without hesitation.Carter already knew what Jeremy would do.He walked in front of Jeremy and led the way into the living room. He then told a maid, “Go and ask the future young madam to come downstairs.”The maid obediently followed suit and went upstairs to a certain room.Future young madam?Jeremy was suspicious. He knew that, back then, Carter had been married to Ada.Ada had been arrested for the crimes she committed and was still in prison, but Carter and Ada had probably canceled their marriage during this time.However, was Carter getting married again so soon?Was Shirley the bride?Jeremy was suspicious, but this was the only possibility.Carter could guess Jeremy’s thoughts from the look in Jeremy's eyes. He lifted the corner of his lips and glanced in a certain direction on the second floor.“You must be wondering who is the woman I’ll be marrying soon, aren’t you, Mr. Whitman? You’ll meet her soon.
