Chapter 1617
Felipe was not saying anything. He only watched Cathy’s back quietly.The outline of her figure had already become blurry due to the tears in his eyes.‘Cath.‘You remember.‘When you said that.‘This is fine.‘You can pretend not to know so we can bid farewell here.‘Adam will be good to you, right?‘At least, he’ll treat you better than I did.’He lowered his eyes and chuckled in self-mockery. He realized that happiness was just within arm’s reach but he pushed this happiness away.While he was immersed in his silence, Felipe heard Cathy saying softly.“Felipe, I’ll see you never.”‘I’ll see you never.’He had never felt how heartbreaking these four words were, but now, he felt it.He stared fixedly at Cathy and said with a smile on his face, “Alright, I’ll see you never.”Yes, never.He would not choose to appeal. The only thing waiting for him would be the death penalty. There would not be another possibility anymore.After Cathy got Felipe’s answer, she stood quie
Chapter 1618
In the end, Felipe still managed to guess the truth accurately.Cathy had her back toward him, and her tone was still indifferent. “You’re overthinking. They’re my and Adam’s children. How could I have given birth to the children of a man who wanted to kill me?”“...”“I would never.”After Cathy said that decisively, she took the children out of the conjugal room without stopping.Felipe felt as if he had all of his energy sucked out from him. His entire body went limp, and he seemed depressed.Cathy held the children’s hands and quickly walked to the entrance. She knew that Felipe would not chase after them, but it felt like if she was a second slower, he could catch up to them and see the entire truth.However, maybe he had already seen through them.“Ouch!”Her son’s pained grunts came from her side. Cathy stopped suddenly and realized that her son had fallen because she was walking too fast.Cathy quickly squatted and apologized. She comforted him, saying, “I’m sorry, Ju
Chapter 1619
Jeremy did not know this woman who appeared in front of him, but Ada immediately acted as if she was very familiar with him.“You're Jeremy Whitman. I know you.” Ada raised a sweet smile. “Hello, my name is Ada. I know you want to find Eveline. I can help you.”After Ada fully stated the purpose of her visit, Jeremy inevitably became suspicious.“Who are you? How do you know what I’m going to do here? Why should I believe that you’ll help me?”Ada smiled even brighter when she heard those words. “Can I go in and talk to you? It seems a little inconvenient to stand and talk out here.”After she said that, there happened to be a guest staying in the hotel passing by the corridor.Jeremy weighed the pros and cons as fast as he could before opening the door.“Come in.”Ada smiled in satisfaction and followed Jeremy into the room.After entering the room, she did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “I’m Carter's childhood sweetheart. I always thought that when he grew up, it

After Ada left the hotel, she went straight to Gray Manor.Inside the study.Carter was leisurely drinking black tea, and he was not surprised to see Ada coming in.Ada walked over tremblingly while looking at the man sitting in front of her.“Carty, it's already done. Jeremy will show up at the celebration ceremony on time tomorrow.”Carter raised his long fingers and flipped through the book in front of him casually. “Are you sure he really believes what you told him?”Ada nodded affirmatively. “His purpose is just to take Eveline away, so as long as there’s a slim chance, he’ll try.”Upon hearing this, Carter closed the book while feeling very satisfied. He slowly raised his mysterious black eyes.“The reason why you can still come through this door is that you still have a little value. It’s best if you know your place and don't lose your only value.”Ada's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Carter a little nervously and kept her promise.“Carty, I’ll never do st

Jeremy glanced around and realized that no one had noticed him.He had not deliberately disguised himself to be low-key, and his clothes were the same as usual. He just did not want to be deliberately low-key and attract the attention of others.However, was it really that easy?Jeremy pondered upon this, then turned around to thank Ada before going upstairs.Ada watched Jeremy go upstairs and called Carter after a while.“Jeremy is on his way.”When Carter heard this from the other end of the phone, the corners of his lips upturned. He got up and left the study to go to the designated room.However, after he pushed the door to go in, he found that it was empty and there was no one inside.Madeline was not in this room, and he knew that. However, it was strange that Jeremy was not here either.He calmly took out his phone and called Ada. “Where’s Jeremy?”Ada was confused when she was asked this question. “He went to the room you specified. I saw him go upstairs.”“You saw h

The corners of Carter's lips twitched as he slowly walked toward the door of the room.Jeremy heard Carter's approaching footsteps and guessed that Carter might have noticed him.“Cart.”Madeline's sudden appearance halted Carter's footsteps that were about to reach the door.“Cart, I'm done. Can I go down to see your relatives and friends now?” Madeline asked with a slight smile. When she saw Ada standing in the study again, she could not help but wonder, ‘She's here too?’Carter glanced at Ada indifferently and smiled softly at Madeline. “We still have time, so you can go back to your room and rest for a while.”Madeline furrowed her beautiful eyebrows with slight embarrassment. “Can you accompany me? I think I’m a little nervous.”Carter quietly glanced at the door of the study from the corners of his eyes. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Okay, I'll accompany you.”“Okay.” Madeline smiled and displayed her sweet dimples before reaching out to grab at Carter's sleeve.Carter di

Carter finished the sentence with a deep smile and strode to Madeline with the crystal ball in his hands.He immediately captured Madeline’s gaze and issued the instructions.“Eveline, look into this crystal ball. From this second on, your entire body will feel relaxed. You will not be affected by anyone. Just keep in mind that the man you love most now is Carter Gray.”Upon hearing this, Jeremy was instantly angry.He clenched his fist and charged forward to grab Carter's collar. He snatched the crystal ball away.“Carter, is this how you hypnotized my wife? Eveline loves me. Do you think you can really deceive her like this and fool her forever?” Jeremy roared in a low voice. The veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were popping out. He was unable to control his emotions at the moment. If he could, he really wanted to strangle the man in front of him to death.Carter smiled disapprovingly. “Jeremy, I advise you to let me go right away. Do you know what’s the worst th
Chapter 1624
He strode to the balcony and saw that Jeremy's figure had passed through the guests. He was walking toward the door unharmed.Carter did not expect Jeremy to have such jumping ability. However, he could not do anything right now.He turned back to the room and saw Madeline who was still sleeping. He glanced at the crystal ball in his hand and walked slowly to the bed to wake Madeline.After Madeline opened her eyes, she looked dumb for a brief moment. She was confused and ignorant about everything around her like she was a child.After a while, she regained her senses.“I saw Jeremy coming here,” Madeline voiced out the doubt in her heart.Carter nodded. “He was here. He tried to take you away, but I’ve already driven him away.”Madeline frowned upon hearing this. “He’s so annoying.”“I won't let him bother you again,” Carter promised. “After our wedding ceremony is completed, I’ll take you back to Glendale to settle down.”“Back to Glendale?” Madeline looked puzzled. “Why are
