Chapter 1905
Before Shirley could finish speaking, she stopped.Madeline heard footsteps approaching her from behind, and the temperature of Shirley’s hand that was holding her plummeted as if she was frightened.Madeline, realizing something was off, so she turned her head to take a look.Shirley’s hand that was holding Madeline’s hand fell slowly, and she murmured inaudibly. In the end, she did not say the final words. “You…”Madeline could vaguely hear Shirley mumbling a word, but she could not hear it clearly.Madeline turned around and saw Carter who had suddenly appeared behind her, and her pulled herself together.When Carter saw Madeline, he smiled faintly at her.He walked carefreely to Madeline and looked at Shirley who stared at him with a conflicted look, then he opened his mouth.“Mrs. Whitman, are you so free to visit the enemy who had poisoned and tormented your and your husband?”Carter sounded very sarcastic. It was obvious he was provoking her.Madeline calmly looked at

Madeline then knew why her emotions were affected—it was Carter’s hypnosis again.“Carter, you’re the noble Viscount of St. Piaf, and you’re also highly educated. Why can’t you be a straightforward and upright person?” Madeline looked at him in contempt.Although Carter did not show any emotion despite his hypnotism was interrupted, he glared at Shirley.Shirley, however, looked back at him fearlessly because she had seen through everything. If she was not afraid of death, what else would she be afraid of?“What can truly be considered straightforward and upright?” Carter asked Madeline in disdain. “Were the things Jeremy had done to you straightforward and upright?”“Carter, don’t try to distract me with the things that happened between me and my husband in the past. We don’t need your meddling. You ought to mind your own business.”“My own business? Mrs. Whitman, pray tell, what business of mine needs your concern?”Carter asked. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, b

From the way Shirley was kicking her out, Madeline could tell what Shirley was worried about.Shirley was worried that Carter might harm Madeline.However, Madeline had, of course, taken some precautions since she came alone.She held Shirley’s hand and gave her a calm and steady smile.“I’ll go, but you have to take care as well. No matter what, you can’t give up on your life. I believe Adam and Cathy would feel the same way as I do. We all hope you to be well.”After saying that, Madeline patted the back of Shirley’s hand gently, then lifted her beautiful eyes and glared at Carter coldly before she left.When Carter saw Madeline leaving the room, he eyed Shirley for a few seconds before he turned around.“Carter, let her leave,” Shirley quickly called out to Carter. “Don’t do anything that you’ll regret.” Carter stopped in his tracks. “The thing I regret the most is giving you the chance to confront me like this.”“...”Shirley was dazed when she heard that. When she came

“Glendale isn’t the only shortcut for you to obtain the right to rule. You have other shortcuts too.”Camille’s graceful and beautiful eyebrows had an additional hint of worldliness that showed she was thinking ahead.Carter was confused when he heard what Camille said. “Another shortcut?”“Yes.” Camille nodded, then walked up to Carter and whispered.After hearing that, Carter’s eyebrows furrowed further.“Carter, I know that you’re unconvinced and that it’s hard to let this go, but perhaps that child is not destined to be with us, so stop clinging onto the child.”Camille advised and then lifted her hand to pat Carter’s shoulder.“Get ready and get Shirley. We’ll go back in two days. We can’t waste any more time.”“Perhaps it’s time to go back,” said Carter suddenly. However, something changed in his eyes.He looked in the direction where Madeline left and narrowed his long eye.Madeline had wanted to speak with Shirley about something, but she had not expected Carter to sh

After Madeline went in, she saw Jackson’s teacher.When the teacher heard that Madeline had not seen Jackson, the teacher was curious. “Did he went to the toilet? Jackson is a very smart kid, so he wouldn’t leave with a stranger. Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman.”Madeline, too, was certain that her son would not leave with a stranger, so she turned and walked to the toilet to look for her son.She arrived at the entrance of the toilet, but because she could not go in, she called out a few times by the entrance.“Jack, are you in there?“Jack, if you’re in there, please answer me.“Jack…”As Madeline called out, a young male teacher walked out from the toilet.When he saw Madeline was looking for her son, he politely said, “Madam, there’s no one else in the toilet. You can’t find your son?”Madeline nodded and her heart started racing.Could it be that Carter was one step ahead of her? Had he already asked someone to take action against her child?As Madeline frantically thought ab

Madeline smiled and continued to drive. However, when she drove up to the crossroad further ahead, she saw that there was an accident and that the road in front was blocked.This was the only road back home, but now they could not go through it.Madeline initially thought to wait, but the cars still could not budge even after a long while. She could only then turn her steering wheel and drive into another road as per the traffic police’s instructions.They could reach home via this road too, but it was a roundabout way home.However, when she got onto another road, there was a car speeding right at them with its high beam turned on.Madeline quickly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes.After stopping the car in a hurry, she got out of the car and opened the door of the backseat.“Jack, are you okay?” Are you hurt?” Madeline, worried, picked up her son and carried him out of the car. She was worried that Jackson was hurt from the emergency brake just now.Jackson

The man's eyes widened. He had never expected that Madeline would outright kick him.He yelped in pain and reflexively let go of his hand that held Jackson.Madeline ran over with lightning speed and caught Jackson as he felled.“Jack!” Madeline held the little guy tightly into her arms.“Mommy, I'm fine. Don't worry about me,” Jackson said to calm Madeline down, knowing that his mother was worried about him.Madeline, not bothering with those two men any further, held Jackson and was about to get into the car.However, when she opened the door to get in the car, suddenly a black gun muzzle was pointed at the back of her head.“Eveline, you have to come with us even if you don’t want to,” the man behind her threatened.Jackson’s clear, big eyes widened, staring at the man who threatened Madeline with a gun.Nonetheless, Madeline did not fluster.She raised her proud and beautiful eyes and calmly opened her lips.“If you have the guts, shoot me now. If you can't, don't block

He said meaningfully, but the two bodyguards could not understand at all.Carter, not intending to explain, turned and walked out of the study and went to Shirley's bedroom.At this moment, the maid was preparing to wipe Shirley's body. When she saw that Carter was here, the maid put down the towel in her hand and walked out knowingly.Shirley glanced at Carter, then, like always, avoided the sight of him with disgust.Carter did not mind. He started to walk to the bed, took the towel that the maid had just put down, soaked it in the basin with warm water, and wrung it dry.He held a warm towel and slowly approached Shirley's face, but Shirley turned her face away in disgust.“You know I don't want to see you now. Get out.” Shirley directly kicked him out.Carter’s movement briefly stopped, but in the next second, he gently placed the towel on Shirley's face.Shirley wanted to avoid it, but Carter used his other hand to hold her in place.“What do you want, Carter?” Shirley co
