Chapter 1879
Without further questions, Jeremy smiled in apparent agreement and replied, "I'll follow you wherever you go."Madeline's eyes twinkled as a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. She affectionately leaned back into Jeremy's embrace once again.The stars tonight were not bright, but at this moment, Madeline felt warm in her heart.The following morning, Madeline went to the police station with Jeremy.After leaving the police station, Jeremy drove his car to the main entrance of Gray Villa.Madeline and Jeremy were barred from entry by a bodyguard at the entrance, but Jeremy was not someone that would allow himself to be stopped.Carter and Camille had originally chartered a flight to bring Shirley back to St. Piaf today, but Ada's mother had suddenly shown up in a fit of rage. Presently, she was in the living room demanding an explanation from Carter and Camille. Madeline and Jeremy had just arrived at the door when they heard Ada's mother yelling angrily."Carter, is th

"Stay away from my wife," Jeremy warned in an exceptionally cold tone.Ada's mother halted immediately, afraid of taking another step toward Madeline. Jeremy radiated an aura that intimidated her. The expression in Carter's eyes was already terrifying enough. At that moment, though, she felt that Jeremy's gaze was even more lethal. However, now that she had reached this point, there was no turning back for her.If she backed down now, Ada would be held accountable for the crimes of arson and murder. "Eveline, why did you falsely accuse my daughter Ada of setting the fire?""You'd better speak to her with more respect," Jeremy reminded her coldly. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Offending my wife puts you in more danger than offending me." Ada's mother's heart trembled in fear when she heard those words. "I... I don't care. I just want to ask this woman Eveline, why she slandered my daughter and accused her of arson and murder?!"Madeline truly did not want to bot

Ada's mother would not have realized that this filthy, unkempt woman before her was Ada if she had not taken a closer look at her! If Madeline had not seen it for herself, she would not have known that Carter was truly a man who would be willing to do anything. Ada flinched in panic at her mother's feet, pulling at the legs of her mother's trousers. "Mom, please take me home. I want to go home! I don't want to be a Viscountess anymore. I just want to be treated as a human being now!" Ada gasped as she begged her mother. Cautiously, she lifted her eyes to look at Carter.Ada shuddered once again when she met his dark gaze. Ada's mother remained stunned for a while before she regained her senses and bent down to help Ada up. She pushed Ada's messy and dirty hair out aside and took a long look at Ada's face, which had not been washed in days. Once again, she was dumbstruck."Ada, what happened to you..." she asked. She then abruptly raised her head and glared at Carter quest

Madeline studied Ada's flustered look and calmly pulled out an object from her pocket."Mrs. Gray, can I request that you widen your eyes and take a good look at this. Does it belong to you?"In unison, all eyes turned to the object which was held between Madeline's fingers and wrapped in plastic.Likewise, Ada immediately turned her gaze toward the object. When she saw the necklace in Madeline's hand, she unconsciously reached up and touched her bare neck."Your reaction, Mrs. Gray, confirms that this is indeed your necklace.""... Eveline, how dare you steal my necklace!" Ada bit back.However, Madeline was unruffled. She contemptuously eyed Ada, who was still desperately protesting, and calmly walked up to Ada."I didn't steal this necklace. I picked it up at the site of the fire the day after it occurred.""..."Ada fell into a panic at that moment.She had no idea when she had lost the necklace, nor could she recall where she had dropped it.Nevertheless, the necklace w

Ada's mother had not expected Ada to betray her at such a critical moment!Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the woman in front of her shouting at her. "This was all your idea! You told me to simply burn Adam to death. You told me that once he was dead, Shirley would never recover! This might anger her so much that the baby in her womb may not survive as well!""..."In lashing all her anger out at her mother, Ada had revealed how Ada had been instructed by her to commit the crime."What? So you were the one who instigated her to do this? You two are amazing. Both mother and daughter!" Camille was shocked by what Ada had said.Ada's mother immediately turned green in the face. She feared that the police would arrest her as well, but she was more afraid that Carter would torture her because of this.Carter, however, did not make any move despite the rage burning in his eyes.While he may be a malicious person, he would never expose that side of himself in front of

Jeremy quickly grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms, then lifted his long legs and mercilessly kicked Ada’s stomach.“Ah!”Ada shrieked in pain and fell onto the floor again. Her mouth crashed against the floor, and the taste of blood immediately filled her mouth.“Eveline!” Ada clenched her fists in displeasure.“How dare you frame me!”“Frame you? I don’t think you’re even worth it. Half of the reason my little tricks could succeed is that you’re stupid; the other half of the reason is that you have a guilty conscience. If you had never done that, you would have never ended up like this.”“...” Ada laid on the ground as she furiously bit her bloodied lips. Her eyes seemed to be brimming with poison. She wanted so badly to drown Madeline in the poison.“Eveline, you b*tch!“B*tch!“You've messed up my plans again and again! I will curse you! You will die a painful death!”“Shut up! If curses work, a woman as evil as you would have already died ten thousan

Carter was about to speak with Jeremy when he heard the sudden scream from the maid upstairs.Just as he turned around, he also heard a loud crash coming from the stairs as if something heavy was rolling down the stairs.When he lifted his eyes to look closer, he saw that it was Shirley who was falling down the stairs with her wheelchair, and he was stunned.“Shirley!” Panicking, Carter rushed over to Shirley who had tumbled down the stairs.Camille hurried over as well.Madeline and Jeremy were surprised too. Despite all of the despicable acts Shirley had committed, they did not look coldly from the sidelines.The maid on the first floor stood as still as a statue as she watched Shirley fell the whole way down the stairs. Carter had repeatedly told her to properly watch over Shirley, but now that Shirley had fallen down the stairs along with her wheelchair, the maid was worried that she, too, would soon suffer.Shirley fell the entire way down to the ground floor. When she lo

“I’m sorry. I hope it’s not too late for me to atone for my sins.”Upon hearing what Shirley said, Madeline and Jeremy felt a little touched in the depths of their hearts.“Don’t speak. If Adam was aware of this, he wouldn’t want you to be like this as well Let’s go to the hospital.”Madeline urged but Shirley softly shook her head, her eyes starting to close from exhaustion.“I miss my parents and my brother. I also want to apologize to that girl who had been taking care of me for so long …”Shirley closed her eyes. Warm tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.Carter’s eyes reddened as he sobbed.“Shirley, you only remember your parents, your brother, and Cathy with whom you have no blood relation. But what about me? Did you ever think about our child?”“Heh.”Shirley closed her eyes and chuckled.“We don’t have a child. This child has been destined to die in my womb since the beginning.”“...”Once again, Shirley’s words simultaneously stabbed Carter’s heart like
