Chapter 1634
The priest nodded in satisfaction and then turned to ask Madeline.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, are you willing to marry Mr. Carter Gray and be his wife? Are you willing to marry him and support each other for life regardless of pain or illness, sadness or happiness?”Madeline knew that everyone was waiting for her two-word answer, but she knew that there was one person who did not want to hear that.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, please answer my question. Are you willing to—”“I do not,” Madeline decisively interrupted the priest who was repeating the question.Her distinct and resonant voice sounded very clearly in the empty field.Those who heard Madeline's answer were all stunned. Then, it was followed by all kinds of exclamations fueled by shock and surprise.The priest stared at Madeline dumbfoundedly. “Miss Eveline, please answer again. Are you willing to—”“I said, I do not.”“...”Again, Madeline's straightforward answer sounded very outrageous.The crowd was promised a s

After Madeline said this, Carter showed a never-before-seen look of surprise in his eyes.He had thought it was the best threat to use on her because she was previously in prison where she suffered inhumane treatment and suffering, so she was deeply traumatized. It was impossible that she would still want to go back to such a place.However, he never expected that Madeline would say that she was guilty of bigamy so confidently and magnanimously.Although, he had been the one who designed this crime for her.Ada, who was among the crowd, was also stunned when she saw this scene.After being stuck in a daze, she quietly turned around and sneaked to the side.Ada's mother saw this and followed behind her.When she was about to ask Ada what she wanted to do, she saw her daughter taking out her phone and quickly dialing a number.“Hello, is this the police station? I want to make a report. There’s a woman here who committed bigamy.”After reporting to the police, a happy grin appea

She immediately realized who had arrived. This special voice remained freshly engraved in her memory.Ada turned her head abruptly, and her eyes, filled with guilt, fell on Jeremy's figure, silhouetted against the light outside.She panicked and looked at Carter, but Carter's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already expected Jeremy's appearance.Meanwhile, Madeline was much more certain that her man would appear.She met Jeremy's gaze, full of affection and longing, which filled her heart suddenly with a boundless sense of security.She no longer cared what would happen next.He was her most stalwart source of strength and support.At this moment, murmurs rippled across the surrounding area, all were equally stunned by his appearance and curious at his stroll towards Madeline. “Who’s that?”“I think I’ve seen him somewhere before. He looks very familiar.”“I know who he is! I saw him on the Internet. He is the young master of Glendale’s number one family, Jeremy W

The police’s sudden appearance stopped Madeline and Jeremy in their tracks.Ada saw this and immediately ran to the police. “She’s Eveline Montgomery!” Ada yelled while pointing at Madeline.Several police officers focused on Madeline. “Are you Eveline Montgomery?” one of them asked.Jeremy, eyebrows furrowed, subconsciously stepped in front of Madeline to shield her.However, Madeline pulled Jeremy’s hand away lightly and walked nobly toward the officers. “Yes, I am Eveline Montgomery.”The officers studied Madeline. “Is it true that you have a marriage contract with two men at the same time?”“Yes! She is!” Ada emphasized loudly. Then, she pointed at Jeremy. “This man is her husband, but she signed a marriage contract with Mr. Gray while she is still married to her husband.”After hearing that, the officers looked at Carter who was standing a short distance away. Almost everyone in St. Piaf knew Carter Gray.Talented and handsome, he not only possessed outstanding skills but

”Hiss.”Madeline turned her head hurriedly and saw Jeremy's face gradually turning pale.She quickly noticed that Jeremy's right leg trembled slightly when he stepped on the accelerator. The thought of Jeremy’s injury pained her heart.“Jeremy, stop the car by the roadside. I’ll drive.”Jeremy glanced at the rearview mirror. After confirming that the coast was clear, he followed Madeline’s instructions and stopped the car by the roadside.After the car had stopped, Madeline and Jeremy decisively exchanged seats. Madeline then started the car.She was not familiar with the roads of St. Piaf, so she continued onwards, following the road the entire way until they reached a deserted path. After ensuring that there were no cars following them from behind, Madeline stopped the car.“Jeremy, how are you doing?”Madeline’s heart ached as she approached Jeremy’s side. When she saw the wound on his ankle bleeding again, she immediately got off the car and helped Jeremy out of the passeng

Jeremy grabbed Madeline's hand tightly and firmly pushed her back into the car.“Jeremy!”"Linnie, go on ahead!” Jeremy said in a stern tone, “I won't let them come near you.”The determination on Jeremy's face made Madeline breathless.The police officers and bodyguards stopped their cars. They strode up close toward Jeremy. The police in the lead showed Jeremy their work permits.“Jeremy Whitman, your actions just now have violated the law of St. Piaf. You and Eveline Montgomery are under arrest in the name of the law. Let me make this clear, no matter what status you might hold in Glendale, this is St. Piaf!”As the officer finished speaking, he approached to handcuff Jeremy.Madeline slammed the car door and rushed to Jeremy's side at once. She gazed sternly at the police officers who wanted to arrest her and Jeremy.“Running from the wedding was my idea. I instigated Jeremy. He didn’t violate any of your laws in St. Piaf. I was the one who forced him to take me away.” Je

Jeremy opened his lips calmly and said, “It’s the Carter Gray of St. Piaf, the one of royal lineage.”“...” The police officer was stunned by the words. Then, he immediately denied, “What nonsense are you going on about? Mr. Gray wouldn’t do such a thing. You are simply being outrageous!”As soon as the police officer had finished scolding, the interrogation room door opened, admitting a seemingly more experienced, middle-aged police officer who politely invited in another individual. Jeremy’s face was a mask of calm as he watched the man approach him, his hands hardening into fists. Carter noticed Jeremy's displeasure and pressed his lips into a complacent smile.“I’ve reminded you a long time ago that challenging me will only ensnare her into this situation.”Upon hearing this, Jeremy's clenched fist slowly loosened. The corners of his beautiful lips burst into a smile that looked even more contented than Carter’s.“Carter, do you think you’ve won in this situation? You’re w

Carter frowned when he heard the words. “Speaking of motive…”His eyes raised, looking ahead. He seemed about to start speaking, but he stopped himself, his gaze then returned to Madeline's face.“By now, I assume my status should be clear to you?”Madeline calmly met Carter's eyes, looking straight into his black pupils. “Well, noble viscount, do you intend to use your identity to suppress us husband and wife?”Carter could hear the irony in Madeline’s words, but he did not care for it. Instead, he showed a rare gentle smile.“Frankly, I’ve become very fond of you after these few days. You’re a very smart woman, and I need a knowledgeable woman like you by my side, but it’s a pity that your heart has never been mine. I couldn’t control you even with hypnotism, that’s why I could only give up.”Carter seemed resigned as his long eyebrows raised slightly.“Since this is the case, the both of you would have no choice but to bear this consequence together.
