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.
When Madeline heard this, she turned around and saw Jeremy smiling at her.Carter’s eyes were on him as well. He had a feeling in his heart that Jeremy was guiding Madeline so he could catch her off guard.However, Carter was not worried.Even a professional hypnotist would not be able to crack the advanced hypnosis he performed on Madeline, let alone Jeremy who knew nothing about hypnotism.“Sir, do you mean…” Madeline looked at Jeremy with curiosity. “Do you mean I should ask you who you are?”Jeremy nodded, still smiling. “You still haven’t asked me my name, Miss Montgomery.”Madeline was a little stunned. It seemed that she thought Jeremy had said something unnecessary.However, Madeline still smiled and asked, “Sir, what is your name?”“My name is Jeremy Whitman,” Jeremy answered Madeline’s question quickly. He then continued, “My wife likes to call me Jeremy.”“...” Madeline stared straight into Jeremy’s deep and beautiful eyes. “Hello, Mr. Whitman. Nice to meet you. Is
Presently, Jeremy did not exist in Madeline’s memories, but Jeremy's words and behavior gave Madeline a familiar feeling, a feeling similar to how she felt about Carter.At this time, a maid came over. She said that Camille had asked them to go to the ancestral hall.Not wanting to waste any time, Carter took Madeline and went out. Before he left, he told his bodyguard to keep an eye on Jeremy.In fact, in the beginning, he had deliberately allowed Jeremy to enter the manor to see Madeline so that Jeremy would feel uncomfortable.However, instead of achieving his goal, Jeremy now had the upper hand.Nonetheless, Carter did not take it very seriously either. He glanced at Madeline who was by his side, and a corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.Jeremy went upstairs but his eyes continued to follow Madeline. Even after Madeline had gotten in the car and left, Jeremy still did not leave.‘Linnie, I’m the one you love. From the beginning to the future, our feelings for each other
In the bedroom on the second floor.Shirley operated the wheelchair all the way to the balcony, and Jeremy followed behind her until she stopped.If this were in the past, Jeremy would never be alone with Shirley at all, let alone listen to her. At the present, he had let go of his prejudice against her, and he had a little more trust in her.“I knew you’d come, but I didn't expect you to come directly into Gray Manor like this.”Shirley sighed. She raised her eyes, tinged with envy, and looked at Jeremy.“Eveline is so lucky to have you to care for her, to concern her.”When Jeremy heard those words, he felt an ache in his heart. He regretted that he had not been able to give Madeline complete happiness and love since the beginning.Jeremy could see that Shirley no longer had the sharp edge about her, but he did not want to waste time on idle chit-chat.“I don’t think this is what you want to talk about with me now that you’ve brought me in here.” Jeremy went straight to the p
However, Jeremy still could not understand how Carter could smoothly obtain the royal inheritance after his marriage registration with Madeline.Did Madeline have anything to do with the royal family of St. Piaf?“The previous wedding between him and Eveline was disrupted by your appearance. I believe that this time, he won’t give you the opportunity to ruin it again.”Shirley's words contained a reminder, and she said it with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.“I know him too well. He would really do anything to get the desired result. Those harmful poisons are the best evidence for that.“Jeremy, I know that, in your heart, you still find me nauseating, but I hope you can remember what I said. Don't face Carter head-on at any given time. You have to remember that Eveline needs you.”It was rare for Jeremy to see the sincerity in Shirley's eyes. At this moment, he was convinced that she was being sincere.When he was about to speak, however, the door was pushed open rudely.C
Jeremy was not trying to boast when he said that. He knew his own ability.He did not deny that Carter's bodyguards must also be of some skill, but he was more convinced that none of these people were a match for him.Upon hearing what Jeremy said, the bodyguards felt extremely insulted.Did he want them to fight him all at once?He was clearly looking down on them!They wanted to see how strong the young master of Glendale’s most powerful family was to be able to say speak so shamelessly.“Go!”The leading bodyguard ordered, and several other bodyguards immediately rushed forward.Before making a move, they were very confident that Jeremy was definitely not their match.Even if Jeremy truly had this ability, there was strength in numbers, after all.However, after making a move, they found that they had been wrong and that they had been overthinking it.Jeremy was not only agile and quick, but the speed of his attacks far exceeds theirs.After a few rounds, they had alread
The bodyguard's sturdy body fell heavily on the grass with a thud.“Ow!” The bodyguard let out a pained scream.Jeremy looked down upon the man with a condescending glace like a king, then he turned to look at the other bodyguards.However, the other bodyguards were palpably afraid of Jeremy.Convinced that Jeremy could not be defeated with their skill alone, they decided that they had to play dirty this time.The bodyguard who suffered the shoulder throw looked at Jeremy's carefree back figure and quietly took out a pistol from the inner pocket of his suit.He pointed the gun at Jeremy's calf and pulled the trigger when Jeremy was off his guard.Nevertheless, Jeremy's observation skills were so keen that when the bodyguard pulled the trigger, he deftly avoided it, swift and flexible.The bullet flew past Jeremy and in the next second, it penetrated the calf of another bodyguard standing in front of Jeremy.“Ow!”The bodyguard who was shot yelled out in pain, and the outcome
