Hannah bit her lip and stared in the direction in which Jeremy and Madeline had left; her eyes were red and unwilling.She knew that she had made a mistake; she had not investigated some things clearly before making things up.She also knew that no one believed what she said, but she did have a relationship with Jeremy!She would never forget what happened in the Royal Palace of St. Piaf that day for the rest of her life!Jeremy brought Madeline back to the car. Once the car had gotten onto the road, the air about them fell into a moment of silence.Jeremy's leg was injured, so Madeline was driving the car. After a long moment of heavy silence, Jeremy opened his mouth and spoke.“Did you know that it was dangerous? If she could make a fuss at the entrance of the company with no regard for her own reputation, you should know that she’s not a good person. How can you take the risk to see her alone?"Jeremy's words sounded like a reproach, but in fact, he was more concerned and wor
Shirley roared out at Carter, condemnation in her tone and gaze.Carter looked at Shirley in this state, and then he picked up the phone unhurriedly.In fact, he had seen the news a long time ago, so how could he not know this?Looking at the message on the screen, a slight smirk gradually appeared on Carter's gloomy face.Upon noticing the smirk on Carter's face, a sudden burst of intense pain surged in Shirley’s heart.She really did not want Carter to be like this at all.Shirley's eyes turned red against her volition.“Answer me, Carter.”Carter looked away and tossed the phone onto the bed.“Yes, I did it,” he admitted without taking it seriously. Nonetheless, the expression on his face suggested intense emotions. “I initially had everything under control, but you and Eveline taught me a lesson.”Carter said in a leisurely tone, walked over to the bed, and sat down slowly. He picked up the tableware and prepared to feed Shirley.“I thought I had lost horribly, but I did
He fed Shirley another bite and leisurely continued speaking.“When the hallucinogen started to affect Jeremy's consciousness, I had someone take him to the room in which the maid was already waiting. Just like Jeremy, she was also exposed to the hallucinogen without her realizing.”After hearing this, everything became clear to Shirley.“You confused them both, making them think that they had intimate contact with each other."Shirley concluded with certainty, and her eyes were looking at Carter with more disappointment.“Carter, you’re irredeemable.”Carter paused as he was scooping the food. “I’m irredeemable?”He chuckled lightly. “You’re the one who’s crazy.”“I’m crazy?”"If you weren't crazy, why would you help Jeremy? If you weren't crazy, why would you help Eveline? Have you really forgotten how our child died?”Carter's expression suddenly darkened.“Don't tell me that since you’re the one who developed the test reagent, you only have yourself to blame. It was Jere
Fabian felt that something was wrong when he saw this unfamiliar number. He could already guess who it was, and as expected, he heard Carter's voice a second later.“I’ve blocked your number. You should know that I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.”“Are you really going to let Jeremy off the hook like this? Can you really let go of your brother and sister's death?”Carter began to provoke and instigate Fabian again.He waited for Fabian's answer. After a long moment, Fabian's voice came from the other end of the phone.“Carter, I'll say it one last time. I don't want to have any contact with you anymore. I don't need you meddling in my family affairs.”Fabian said with emphasis and then hung up the phone.As Carter listened to the busy tone from the other end of the line, his fingers around the phone tightened one by one.An unmistakably chilly hatred filled his eyes.After a while, he called again.When the call connected, he simply requested the person on
Lillian blinked and pointed outside.Fabian quickly understood what Lillian meant. “You want to go outside to play, Lily?”Lillian nodded seriously.As Fabian held Lillian's cute little hand, his heart broke. In truth, he understood. It must be very boring to stay in the same room every day, but considering Lily’s condition, Fabian was still worried.However, looking at Lillian's expectant eyes, Fabian immediately called his friend Evan to ask.Soon after, Evan gave Fabian a satisfactory answer. “Lily has been stable recently. She can go out, but it must be on a sunny day and you can’t leave her in the wind. Plus, she can spend no more than half an hour outside. As long as you can make sure to take good care of her, you can take her out for a walk.”After getting this answer, Fabian suddenly felt more uplifted.Happily, he squatted in front of Lillian again and adjusted the beret on her little head.“Lily, I’ll take you out now.”Upon hearing that, Lillian smiled and nodded, h
Upon hearing what Madeline said, Fabian's finger, which hovered over the hang-up button, suddenly stopped.Madeline's gaze on the screen was earnest.Fabian had vaguely guessed what Madeline was going to say to him, and he had the urge to hang up again.However, Madeline also seemed to have predicted this, so she immediately said, “Fabian, I will be going to F Country in these two days, and I want to take Lily home while I’m there.”Fabian seemed completely unsurprised upon hearing what Madeline said.He had already expected it, and this is probably the only topic that Madeline had in common with him at the moment.Seeing that Fabian merely looked at the phone without speaking, Madeline almost predicted the result.“You can at least let me meet my daughter, can’t you?”Madeline made a concession. Fabian stayed silent for another two seconds, and then he said, “We’ll talk about it when we can meet.”After saying this, Fabian hung up the video call.At the other end of the line
It had not been like this at the beginning. Karen would have gotten annoyed at the sight of Madeline.Presently, however, Karen was always defending her daughter-in-law, Madeline.Everything was certainly unpredictable.Jeremy slowly got up. He walked to the balcony and could clearly see Hannah standing at the gate playing the victim. Not far behind her, many reporters were waiting for the matter to blow up.After a while, Jeremy saw Madeline wandering into his line of sight.She had a graceful figure, and the coat draped over her body gently swung with each of her elegant and steady steps.Madeline's aura was powerful, and her majestic walk beheld an invulnerable edge.Since Jeremy's eyesight was very good, he could clearly see that Hannah’s eyes went cold when she saw Madeline.Jeremy's cold eyes narrowed slightly; he was prepared to go downstairs at any time.In front of the gate of the old house.Hannah’s pale-looking face looked calm as she stared straight at the approac
Madeline raised her eyebrows and glanced in the direction where the reporters were. “Mom, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”“Of course, I know you know what you’re doing, and you have your own ideas, but I feel that we’re letting her take advantage of us.”Madeline smiled lightly when she heard that. “It’s not about taking advantage or not. Just treat her as a normal guest.”“Guest?” Karen's eyes were full of contempt. “If I hadn't seen a video of her making a fuss at the company, I would’ve treated her as a guest.”Karen muttered in annoyance. Still worried, she then warned, “Eveline, women like her never come with good intentions, so you have to be careful.”Madeline lowered her eyes and glanced at the gauze wrapped around the back of her hand. “I was at a disadvantage once, so there won’t be a next time.”“That's good.” Karen breathed a sigh of relief.The reporters who stayed not far in front of the door could not help but feel a little perplexed by the situation.They w
