“I'm already making the arrangements for our future. I won't make you wait too long,” Carter promised.Unmoved by this, Shirley changed the direction of the wheelchair and moved towards the bed.“Okay, Mr. Gray, I heard you. You can go back now. I am going to sleep.”Listening to Shirley's nonchalant words, Carter looked back at her with narrowed eyes.“I know it's hard for you to believe what I just said and to forget the deaths of Adam and Cathy, but in any case, no one can change my relationship with you.”Every word that came out of Carter's mouth sounded unusually sonorous and powerful.However, Shirley turned a deaf ear to what he said. She was even more indifferent now.Carter did not want to court yet another rebuff, so he left.As soon as he got out of the room, he called a maid to help Shirley to go to bed.He wanted to carry her to bed, but he knew very well that Shirley would resist him now. If he had approached her, he would only make her resist and resent him eve
Upon hearing Carter's questioning, the maid instantly froze, and she fell into extreme panic.“No, no, I wasn’t eavesdropping. I dare not, I dare not eavesdrop…”The maid explained as she trembled. Her face became paler and paler from fright.Carter was not in a good mood, and the maid's dishonesty was making him even angrier.“Are you sure you weren’t eavesdropping? So, do you think there’s a problem with my eyes and IQ, or do you think your explanation is impeccable?”Hearing this, the maid was so scared that her palms were sweating.“M-Mr. Carter…”“The Grays don't need a bad-mannered maid like you. You should immediately get out of this manor. Don’t even think about getting a cent from this month’s salary.”Carter uttered the indifferent words and started walking onward.The corners of the maid's eyes turned red. Anxious and fearful, she ran up to Carter to explain herself.“Mr. Carter, I-I really didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Mr. Whitman. I-I just ca
“Thank you, Mr. Carter. Thank you, Mr. Carter!” the maid thanked him repeatedly, but then a touch of melancholy emerged. “But Mr. Carter, Miss Montgomery told me not long ago that Mr. Whitman is married. Is this true?”Carter's eyes changed slightly when he heard this. “When did Miss Montgomery tell you this?”“Not long ago,” the maid replied, showing a look of grievance. “Miss Montgomery was also able to tell that I like Mr. Whitman, but she said Mr. Whitman has a wife.”After listening to the explanation, Carter's face was calm but the smile on his face was sly.“Yes, Jeremy was indeed married, but he and his wife had separated a long time ago. So, you still have a chance.”“Really?” The maid was very excited when she heard this, but she quickly realized that she had forgotten her manners and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say more.Carter glanced at the maid in disdain, then parted his lips to order.“I will decide this matter for you, but on the condition that you
Carter walked straight toward Madeline. He was in a well-cut, dark blue suit that accentuated his perfect figure.He walked past Shirley indifferently and went up to Madeline's side.He smiled at Madeline slightly, but his smile did not reach his eyes.“Eveline, you are so beautiful today,” he complimented her, and he seemingly glanced at Shirley from the corners of his eyes. “Get ready. We’ll go to St. Piaf's Royal Palace first.”Madeline nodded. “Okay.”She looked very cooperative. She then took the lead and walked toward the door.The stylist outside the door hurried in and handed Madeline the bouquet.The people in the room dispersed one after another, and Shirley turned around too.Carter walked behind her. “I think you’ll look more beautiful in a wedding dress.”“Heh, hehe.” Shirley laughed sarcastically. “A disfigured lame won’t look good in anything. Carter, do you really think that I am still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl?”“...”Carter froze in place; he ha
‘Sure enough, it wasn’t just me. Linnie seemed to care a little about me too.‘Although her thoughts are under Carter’s, in Linnie's subconscious, I’m still the most important person to her.’Madeline walked into the hallway of the Royal Palace and then onto the platform of the second floor and looked down.Among the guests, she found Jeremy at a glance.He was sitting at a place near the corner all alone.No, he was not alone. The maid, who was standing in front of Jeremy, was accompanying him.Madeline looked at Jeremy silently and found that his magnificent and handsome face to be filled with a light and gentle smile. He seemed to be chatting happily with the maid.Madeline furrowed her eyebrows, and when she was about to turn around, a joking voice suddenly came from behind her.“Hello, beautiful cousin-in-law.”Madeline stopped in her tracks. She recognized who the owner of this voice was.She turned his head and saw Jim walking towards her with his hands in his pants po
With puzzled eyes, Madeline looked at the man who spoke.Was this man pitying her?Why was he pitying her and sympathizing with her?Seeing the confusion in Madeline's clear and beautiful pupils, Jim answered leisurely.“You are just a tool that Carter is using to achieve his goals. He doesn’t have any real feelings for you, yet you want to marry this man wholeheartedly. Isn't that pitiful?”After listening to Jim's words, Madeline smiled slightly. “I think that you’re worrying too much and that you’re feeling pity for the wrong person. No one knows who the pitiful person is until the last moment.”Upon hearing this, Jim was dumbfounded because he did not understand.On Madeline's exquisite and picturesque face, Jim saw a bright and moving smile, a smile that subtly hinted at a deep meaning.He thought it interesting, yet he could not understand what Madeline meant.Seeing that Madeline was about to leave, Jim wanted to go up and ask for further clarification. However, Carter
The maid winked, showing her determination. She looked very sincere too.After the maid had said that, Jeremy stared insipidly at the maid.For the past two days, the maid had been taking care of him very kindly and enthusiastically.He had indeed been using the maid's goodwill toward him to get some clues.After thinking about it, Jeremy's expression was not as cold as before. He then parted his lips lazily and spoke.“I don't need your care. You should help other people. No matter how much time and effort you spend on me, it's useless. I already have someone I love.”Although his tone was much kinder now, Jeremy still decisively and plainly refused the maid.The maid’s face once again looked sad and lost. She then sighed deeply.“Since you have said this over and over again, I shouldn’t continue to think that you have feelings for me. But my current job is to take care of you, so I hope that you’ll stop rejecting me. If I don't do my job well, Mr. Carter will punish me.”It
After the door closed, the smile on Carter’s lips widened.‘Jeremy, you’ve disrupted my life and killed my child. I will eventually make your life a living hell.’Madeline waited in the lounge, and the stylist carefully helped her arrange her hairstyle and wedding dress.She glanced at the digital clock on the wall and knew that the ceremony was starting soon, but Carter had not returned yet.Creak.The door to the lounge opened at this moment, and Carter walked in with a warm smile on his face.The stylist smiled respectfully at Carter and then conscientiously left the lounge.“Carter, you're back.” Madeline smiled, stood up, and walked toward him.With a gentle expression, Carter looked at Madeline. “It’s almost time, Eveline. I’ll bring you downstairs.”“I just had a glimpse earlier. There are a lot of guests downstairs. Are they all relatives and friends of your family?” Madeline asked curiously.Carter nodded. “They are all relatives who are related to the royal family.
