Chapter 1839
A surprised look flashed on Carter's face when he heard Adam's words, but it disappeared as quickly.Carter smiled and, in a voice tinged with mockery, responded, "It appears that Dr. Brown doesn't merely sit in the clinic and conduct experiments; he also studies other people's private matters.""I'm completely uninterested in your private matters. I just happened to come across some unethical matters by chance and paid some attention to them." Carter smiled faintly, but this time, his smile did not reach his eyes.Ten minutes later, the car pulled into the Gray Manor.Adam got out of the car and rushed toward the hallway with Cathy following him closely.While Adam felt anxious at that moment, Cathy was feeling uneasy and guilty as well.Perhaps she should not have allowed Shirley to stay back the other day. If anything happened to Shirley, she could hardly avoid the blame.However, when Cathy and Adam hastily barged into the hallway, they were surprised to find Shirley leis

The bodyguards understood. They immediately stepped forward and yanked Adam away with brute force.Adam had no one at his disposal, so he raised his fist and punched one of the bodyguards.The bodyguard missed it and got hit by Adam. Disgruntled, the bodyguard raised his hand, intending to return the punch.At this sudden burst of fury, Shirley shouted for them to stop. "Don't you dare hit him!"The bodyguard halted reactively the second Shirley spoke. Adam was taken aback by Shirley's behavior, but he had no time to reflect on it. He promptly avoided another bodyguard and continued to push Shirley's wheelchair. Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately chased after them, trying to stop Adam."Don't touch him!" Shirley shouted again for them to stop. She started to feel slightly agitated. Glaring at Carter, she said hurriedly, "Carter, tell your people to stay away from them. I won't leave, but you'll have to tell them to go."Carter calmly met Shirley's anxious gaze

When Adam heard those words, he could not help but feel ridiculed. "Why would I share the same goal with someone like you?""Are you certain?" Carter threw the question back with a faint smile. "Wouldn't you want to fix the scar on your sister's face? Wouldn't you want to see her stand up again one day?"At the mention of this, Adam briefly fell into an inattentive state.Frankly, he had not expected Carter to bring him here for this reason.Cathy was taken by surprise as well, but it also seemed reasonable to her.Back then, she had sensed that Carter felt something for Shirley, but the emotions were buried deep within him.Shirley, however, was unaware of the reasons behind Carter's decision in bringing Adam and Cathy to the Gray Manor. Shirley was now settled in her room, contemplating returning downstairs to take a look when Ada entered.When Ada saw Shirley's worried expression, Ada smiled to herself, then sent the two servants out.Shirley truly did not want to see Ada,

"Enough of this useless talk," Shirley interrupted her, "just stay as far away from me as possible. You'd better not have any ideas about the child in my womb. Otherwise, I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to lose a limb or be disfigured.”"How dare you threaten me?" Ada was enraged; her expression turned dark and unsightly. “Do you think you can do whatever you want since you're pregnant with Carter’s child? I'm tell you, Shirley. If I wanted to kill that vile spawn in your womb, I won't even need to lift a finger. Just you wait!”Ada warned Shirley furiously. Ada was about to turn around to leave, but Camille was standing at the door of the bedroom."..." Ada’s face paled in a flash. She was at a loss as she watched Camille walk into the room slowly. "Mom."Camille shot a look of disgust at Ada. "What now? Since you don't have to lift a finger yourself, whose hands do you plan to use to murder my grandson? Your mother's?""..." Ada bit her lip upon hearing this. Althoug

Mother of his child. These four words made Shirley’s heart quiver. Bemused, she looked at Carter as she said, "Don’t get any ideas about him." Shirley gave him a grave warning; her expression was abnormally stern."He’s different from us. Don’t harass him."When Carter heard her words, his lips twitched, revealing what appeared to be a satisfied smile."We? So, you still think of us as an item.""..." Shirley was speechless. She never imagined Carter would nitpick on such a detail.She then heard him continue to speak."In the past, you used to seem jealous and resentful toward Adam when you were with me. But now, you appear anxious and worried for your brother. It's truly hard to understand you.”Upon hearing his sarcastic remarks, Shirley met Carter's gaze with feigned indifference. "I’ve told you before. I’d merely been using you to benefit myself. My actions were intentional..." “Oh, your acting is excellent. It's comparable to that of professionals."Before Shir

Shirley lifted her gaze toward Ada. "Carter would share his matters with you?"Ada chuckled. "Wouldn't I be able to find out even if he didn't want me to know? Well, if you don’t believe me, don't follow me."After she had spoken, Ada turned and walked the garden. Glancing behind, she saw Shirley catching up with her. Ada smiled to herself, satisfied that her tactical retreat had worked. Ada's smirk was not lost on Shirley, but Shirley chose not to be bothered by it.This was the Gray Villa. Even if Ada had the courage of the gods, she would not dare to harm her.However, Shirley was surprised by how large the villa was. Despite walking for two or three minutes, they were still in the garden.She knew that Carter had put in a lot of effort to win over Glendale.Carter had already been making preparations when she was sent to approach Jeremy. He had always been someone who only accepted success–failure was not permitted; this time would be no different.Shirley was thus truly

When Shirley heard Carter asking reprovingly, a tinge of temper in his tone, she slowly laid down the anti-toxoid test reagent and steered her wheelchair toward the washbasin.Minding her own business, she washed her hands, then donned a mask and a pair of gloves, and finally returned to the laboratory table before responding to Carter nonchalantly. "Mr. Gray, I'd like to start working now. Please leave." Shirley's indifference upset Carter greatly. However, at the thought of the development of the anti-toxoid test reagent could not be delayed, he complied with Shirley's request.Naturally, he would not leave Shirley completely unattended in the laboratory.The moment he stepped outside, he activated the monitoring software on his phone so that he could monitor every movement in the laboratory. Shirley, however, did not do anything suspicious. She carried out the tasks she had in mind seriously. Carter frowned unwittingly. His gaze lingered on his phone screen for a while be

"Is it that young man named Adam?" "Yes, that's him. He won't let Shirley look like this for long. He'll heal her in the shortest possible time to make her look like the woman she once was." Carter was certain of this.Camille felt relieved by his words. "Then I can anticipate my grandchild's birth in peace."She smiled and unwittingly let out a soft sigh. "In fact, if she hadn't left without a word years ago, the two of you would have been married, and maybe you'd have had two or three children by now. I don't know what she was thinking back then." Carter listened to Camille’s mutterings; he shared similar questions in his mind and a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.However, he did not say anything else.If he could hold onto her now, he could make up for the loss. Ada, who had been listening to the entire conversation, soon after returned to her room angrily and gave a call to her mother. Having heard the scenario, Ada's mother pondered for a moment, then immed
