Chapter 1802
Evan looked at Jeremy's back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. "Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?"Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy's outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. "Recover? If it's anything like that from last time, I don’t think it’d be that easy to completely recover.""Anything like that from last time?" This piqued Evan’s curiosity again.However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy’s hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline’s marriage certificate. The customer s

Cathy spun around when she heard the commotion, and saw Shirley gracelessly falling onto the ground. The wheelchair beside Shirley was turned over, and she was lying flat on the ground, unable to get up.Upon seeing the situation, Cathy quickly spun around and headed over.She squatted to help Shirley up, but Shirley rejected Cathy, shoving Cathy’s hand."I don't need your pity!" Shirley bit on her lips, eyes agleam with self-deprecation. "Adam must be overjoyed to see me in such a state, isn’t he? He could restore my appearance, yet he’s unwilling to perform the surgery on me! The same goes for you as well."Shirley, fists clenched, glanced at Cathy."You don’t intend to help me at all. You're just forced to take care of a useless person like me because of Adam!""You know that you're forcing this on others, then?" Adam suddenly walked in through the door.Shirley briefly paused, before letting out a cold chuckle."Hehe. Adam, you’re finally speaking your mind. You’ve never th

“Adam, come over and give me a hand."Adam understood Cathy's meaning, but in fact, he had already intended to help.However, Shirley was aware that Cathy and Adam were trying to help her up at the moment, but she pretended to be deep in thought, silently accepting Adam and Cathy's kind intention.The sun began to set for the evening.Adam parked his car at the entrance of the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.Although it was before the time for the commencement of the wedding banquet, the entrance was already streaming with guests.Shirley was sitting at the rear seat of the car, watching the guests going into the main entrance. She was familiar with many people there, actually.Carter's wedding ceremony was a grand one. A day before the wedding, the net was bombarded with the news of his wedding.The honorable viscount of St. Piaf was about to get married, and it attracted the attention of many.Additionally, once Carter's daily life photos were posted on the net, it immedia

Cathy remembered that she had seen the bride’s name on the wedding invitation card, but it did not strike her as familiar, and she believed that she did not know the bride.Cathy shook her head. "No idea.”"Hmph. Of course, you wouldn't know."Shirley smiled, seemingly talking to herself."She's considered a childhood sweetheart of Carter's, but he has always hated this woman, so much so that he had even used Eveline as a shield to rid himself of her."Speaking of Carter’s engagement with Madeline, Cathy knew parts of it, but she was not privy to the fact that Carter had been using Madeline to get rid of another woman.However, on that night, he was about to marry that same woman he had wanted to shake off.Cathy found it rather ridiculous.However, after considering Carter's status, she could see that there were logical reasons behind all this."Are you close to the bride?" Cathy casually asked."Not at all," Shirley answered without thinking twice, her eyes glittered scornf

Actually, Carter too had not expected himself to show up with Ada in front of his friends and relatives in such a manner.However, after considering the benefits, he had accepted Camille’s proposal.He wanted to be the heir of St. Piaf, and to do that, he would need help from Ada’s family.Similarly, Ada had assumed that she no longer had the chance to be the viscountess, nor had she expected Camille to reach out to her. Ada finally found her value. At that moment, Ada, who was walking beside Carter, felt very confident.She firmly believed that no other woman would be able to threaten her position as the viscountess.Ada put on a thrilled and victorious smile while holding a bouquet, taking one step at a time as she elegantly made her way toward the banquet hall.She tilted her head to look at Carter. On this night, he looked handsome and elegant, evoking a cool, refined aesthetic that tugged at Ada’s heartstrings. She was finally able to be Carter's wife–a dream she had sin

Cathy and Shirley sat in an unnoticeable position at a corner, but, at that moment, they saw Carter seemingly making his way toward them.Cathy looked at Shirley. Despite the latter wearing a mask, Cathy could still easily make out the uneasiness and anxiety in Shirley’s eyes.Shirley felt perturbed because of her love for Carter.If it was not for love, she would have faced him carefreely.However, in reality, she could not let go of her feelings. She was deeply in love with him, and that had led her to this day.Naturally, Shirley saw Carter walking toward her. Indeed, she felt very nervous and her palms started to drench in sweat.She dared not face Carter, but her gaze, against her volition, was attracted to him.It seemed Carter had noticed it, and his gaze also looked toward Shirley.As Shirley started to feel anxious and thought that Carter was about to look at her, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt, and he respectfully greeted an elderly.Unsure whether it was disa

She could not bring herself to recall the scene of Carter being with another woman, as though the mere thought of it could upset her stomach.She wanted to vomit but nothing came out.To prevent Cathy from suspecting anything, Shirley quickly recomposed herself and steered her wheelchair out of the washroom.Cathy, upon seeing Shirley’s still-pale look, suggested, "Why not we head back home?""It's still too early. I want to head out for some fresh air." Shirley looked at the balcony at the end of the corridor. "I can go over by myself."Knowing Shirley was not in a good mood, Cathy did not force it on her.She thought of heading over to have a look at Shirley just as she received a call. It was a call from Adam. Cathy figured that Adam called because was worried about them. Thus, Cathy answered the call without hesitation.Shirley came onto the balcony by herself.It was now late at night, and the sky was full of stars.To her, however, it was as if the brightest star could
Chapter 1809
Agitated, Shirley rejected Ada whose hand reached over to Shirley’s mask.Shirley’s movement was swift as she caught hold of Ada's right hand, but Ada quickly extended her left hand and forcibly snatched away Shirley's mask.Ada immediately saw the scar on Shirley's face, and Ada's eyes sparkled. She smiled evilly as she enjoyed her masterpiece.She knew that Shirley, even now, was still unaware that it was Ada who disfigured her."Oh my, what's wrong with your face? Why is there a slash mark on it? Is it because you've offended so many people that someone came for payback, Shirley?"Ada asked despite knowing the answer, and even put on an unusually astonished look.Upon hearing Ada's mockery, Shirley was suddenly unusually calm.She stared at Ada, and the agitated feelings she was having earlier no longer existed.Ada thought that Shirley was not speaking because Shirley was starting to think lowly of herself, and this eased Ada."Shirley, you should have known earlier that a
