Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and she could also guess what he would do next.Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but she was not.“Carter, I know that you’re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today. Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how I killed my child after developing AXP69.”Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter.It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull him down from his grace. A self-mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then he turned around and left without saying a word.Carter left just like that.The people in front of him made way for him accommodatingly.Without explaining himself or fighting back, he walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.S
It was none other than the maid who was with Jeremy before the wedding.Madeline was about to look for Jeremy, and she had a feeling in her heart that this maid might know where Jeremy was, so Madeline walked hurriedly over to her.Since Madeline did not know the maid’s name, she could not call out to her, so she could only walk faster to chase up to the maid.However, when Madeline was halfway there, the maid suddenly turned around.The maid, who did seem to have seen Madeline, walked straight up to the entrance to a room, pushed the door open, and walked in.Madeline intuitively knew something was wrong, so she quickly ran after her.The moment the door was about to close, Madeline lifted her hand to hold the door, then she pushed the door open and walked in.Just as she arrived at the entrance, she heard the maid’s soft voice coming from the room.“I had wanted to leave just like that, but after I thought about it, I was still reluctant to leave you. I didn’t think that you’
Eveline.She was calling her by Madeline’s first name now.Madeline now knew how arrogant and proud this maid was.“Also, I just had an intimate relationship with Mr. Whitman, so I’m the one who’s the most qualified to take care of him.”When Madeline heard what the maid said, she could hear a buzz in her brain again.She felt as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from speaking.However, Madeline did not allow herself to space out for long. When she was about to turn around, Jeremy suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist.Madeline suddenly lifted her clear and alluring eyes. In the next second, her eyes met Jeremy’s soft and tender gaze.However, his tender gaze only lasted for a few seconds before it turned abnormally sharp to look at the maid who was a short distance away from the bed.“No one is more qualified than Linnie to come near me. Since you’ve been taking care of me for the past two days, I’ve been showing you enough respect. But if yo
The maid was stunned. She could not believe it and did not want to accept what she heard. As the turn of events kept replaying in her mind, a pained and conflicted expression danced on her face.“What do you mean? What does this all mean?”The maid looked at Madeline and Jeremy in confusion.They were a couple?If that was the case, why did Madeline marry Mr. Carter?She could not wrap her head around this.What confused her the most was why did Carter want to bring her and Jeremy together.“Linnie, there’s something I need to tell you.” Jeremy’s eyes were filled with apology.Madeline nodded. “I know what you want to tell me. This isn’t the place to talk. We should go now. I’ve booked tomorrow morning’s flight for us, so we’ll go home tomorrow.”Jeremy furrowed his brows in suspicion. “Won’t Carter cause trouble to you?”Madeline smiled. “He’s helpless now.”After Jeremy heard that, a flabbergasted look appeared on his face, and then he smiled softly and held Madeline’s han
The maid, feeling extremely unconvinced, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and turned her attention to Madeline.“Eveline, you’re a sick woman!”She cursed, completely consumed by rage.“The man you love just had sex with another woman, and you’re still able to smile so calmly. You’re insane!”Madeline chuckled nonchalantly after she heard that. “This is nothing. It’s normal for a man to play along. Besides, aren’t you happy? Since there was mutual consent, you can’t blame others.”“...” The maid’s jaw dropped; she was speechless. Not knowing what to say to retort Madeline, she could only glare at Madeline.However, Madeline was unbothered by how the maid thought of her. She put away her phone, reached out her hand to grab Jeremy’s arm, and then smiled.“Jeremy, let’s go. I’ve called a ride. We’ll go back to the hotel first.”Jeremy remained silent the whole time. Presently, he merely nodded obediently, and then with Madeline’s help, they left the Royal Palace of St. Piaf
Shirley quickly collected her wandering thoughts.The sky was gray, and it was drizzling.Shirley was having an unquiet state of mind. She looked at the driver who came over to help her and thanked him.The driver wore a cap and a face mask. He did not speak. He merely kindly helped her into the car and put away the wheelchair.Shirley sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. Her expression looked abnormally dispirited.During the drive, the driver would occasionally lift his eyes to look at Shirley from the rearview mirror.Shirley, who was looking out of the window the whole time, did not know that the driver was observing her.Although it was only drizzling, Shirley felt that it was raining cats and dogs in her heart.Her only family member had died, and the friend who took care of her this whole time was dead as well.She had even personally gone to destroy the future of the man she loved the most.Heh.Shirley chuckled at herself. She felt that her l
Shirley looked out of the car window and saw that the house before her looked familiar.At this moment, Carter had already gotten out of the car and was at the side of the car in the rain opening the car door. He then bent down and carried Shirley out of the car, ignoring her protests.“Carter, do you still intend to keep making mistakes now, even at this stage?”As if mute, Carter remained silent as in the face of Shirley’s accusations. “Carter!’“Stop talking.”Carter finally spoke, but he did not stop walking.He carried Shirley to the sofa in the house, then he brought in Shirley’s luggage and wheelchair before closing the door.The rain and wind were rustling outside beneath the gloomy sky.Inside the house, Carter turned on the heating lamp and heater, and no one could feel the cold wind and haze of December in the house.Carter removed his coat and slowly sat down in front of Shirley. He then picked up a red apple and started peeling it.Shirley looked at Carter’s ev
That test reagent?Shirley’s expression changed. Her eyes moved about as she thought, but she could not figure out which test reagent Carter was talking about.That was because she had developed too many kinds of test reagents back when Carter ordered her to do so.The sight of Carter’s sly smile sent a chill down Shirley’s spine. A terrifying feeling crept into her heart.“What did you do to Eveline and Jeremy?”“Are you worried about Jeremy or the partner with whom you fooled me?”“...”Shirley looked blankly at the man. She could tell from Carter’s expression that something was not right. He looked as if possessed, and there was only hatred burning in his eyes.Did he hate Eveline and Jeremy?Shirley’s heart trembled. She still could not figure out what test reagent Carter was talking about.However, he already saw the uneasiness and apprehension on Shirley’s face.He smiled and spoke no further.…Elsewhere, it had been a few days since Madeline and Jeremy went back to
