“Thank you, Mr. Carter. Thank you, Mr. Carter!” the maid thanked him repeatedly, but then a touch of melancholy emerged. “But Mr. Carter, Miss Montgomery told me not long ago that Mr. Whitman is married. Is this true?”Carter's eyes changed slightly when he heard this. “When did Miss Montgomery tell you this?”“Not long ago,” the maid replied, showing a look of grievance. “Miss Montgomery was also able to tell that I like Mr. Whitman, but she said Mr. Whitman has a wife.”After listening to the explanation, Carter's face was calm but the smile on his face was sly.“Yes, Jeremy was indeed married, but he and his wife had separated a long time ago. So, you still have a chance.”“Really?” The maid was very excited when she heard this, but she quickly realized that she had forgotten her manners and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say more.Carter glanced at the maid in disdain, then parted his lips to order.“I will decide this matter for you, but on the condition that you

Carter walked straight toward Madeline. He was in a well-cut, dark blue suit that accentuated his perfect figure.He walked past Shirley indifferently and went up to Madeline's side.He smiled at Madeline slightly, but his smile did not reach his eyes.“Eveline, you are so beautiful today,” he complimented her, and he seemingly glanced at Shirley from the corners of his eyes. “Get ready. We’ll go to St. Piaf's Royal Palace first.”Madeline nodded. “Okay.”She looked very cooperative. She then took the lead and walked toward the door.The stylist outside the door hurried in and handed Madeline the bouquet.The people in the room dispersed one after another, and Shirley turned around too.Carter walked behind her. “I think you’ll look more beautiful in a wedding dress.”“Heh, hehe.” Shirley laughed sarcastically. “A disfigured lame won’t look good in anything. Carter, do you really think that I am still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl?”“...”Carter froze in place; he ha

‘Sure enough, it wasn’t just me. Linnie seemed to care a little about me too.‘Although her thoughts are under Carter’s, in Linnie's subconscious, I’m still the most important person to her.’Madeline walked into the hallway of the Royal Palace and then onto the platform of the second floor and looked down.Among the guests, she found Jeremy at a glance.He was sitting at a place near the corner all alone.No, he was not alone. The maid, who was standing in front of Jeremy, was accompanying him.Madeline looked at Jeremy silently and found that his magnificent and handsome face to be filled with a light and gentle smile. He seemed to be chatting happily with the maid.Madeline furrowed her eyebrows, and when she was about to turn around, a joking voice suddenly came from behind her.“Hello, beautiful cousin-in-law.”Madeline stopped in her tracks. She recognized who the owner of this voice was.She turned his head and saw Jim walking towards her with his hands in his pants po

With puzzled eyes, Madeline looked at the man who spoke.Was this man pitying her?Why was he pitying her and sympathizing with her?Seeing the confusion in Madeline's clear and beautiful pupils, Jim answered leisurely.“You are just a tool that Carter is using to achieve his goals. He doesn’t have any real feelings for you, yet you want to marry this man wholeheartedly. Isn't that pitiful?”After listening to Jim's words, Madeline smiled slightly. “I think that you’re worrying too much and that you’re feeling pity for the wrong person. No one knows who the pitiful person is until the last moment.”Upon hearing this, Jim was dumbfounded because he did not understand.On Madeline's exquisite and picturesque face, Jim saw a bright and moving smile, a smile that subtly hinted at a deep meaning.He thought it interesting, yet he could not understand what Madeline meant.Seeing that Madeline was about to leave, Jim wanted to go up and ask for further clarification. However, Carter

The maid winked, showing her determination. She looked very sincere too.After the maid had said that, Jeremy stared insipidly at the maid.For the past two days, the maid had been taking care of him very kindly and enthusiastically.He had indeed been using the maid's goodwill toward him to get some clues.After thinking about it, Jeremy's expression was not as cold as before. He then parted his lips lazily and spoke.“I don't need your care. You should help other people. No matter how much time and effort you spend on me, it's useless. I already have someone I love.”Although his tone was much kinder now, Jeremy still decisively and plainly refused the maid.The maid’s face once again looked sad and lost. She then sighed deeply.“Since you have said this over and over again, I shouldn’t continue to think that you have feelings for me. But my current job is to take care of you, so I hope that you’ll stop rejecting me. If I don't do my job well, Mr. Carter will punish me.”It

After the door closed, the smile on Carter’s lips widened.‘Jeremy, you’ve disrupted my life and killed my child. I will eventually make your life a living hell.’Madeline waited in the lounge, and the stylist carefully helped her arrange her hairstyle and wedding dress.She glanced at the digital clock on the wall and knew that the ceremony was starting soon, but Carter had not returned yet.Creak.The door to the lounge opened at this moment, and Carter walked in with a warm smile on his face.The stylist smiled respectfully at Carter and then conscientiously left the lounge.“Carter, you're back.” Madeline smiled, stood up, and walked toward him.With a gentle expression, Carter looked at Madeline. “It’s almost time, Eveline. I’ll bring you downstairs.”“I just had a glimpse earlier. There are a lot of guests downstairs. Are they all relatives and friends of your family?” Madeline asked curiously.Carter nodded. “They are all relatives who are related to the royal family.

She looked for Jeremy in the crowd, but she did not see him. She saw Shirley instead.Shirley was silently seated in the wheelchair in a corner with a smile on her face.Madeline met her gaze and smiled in a tacit mutual understanding.“So that’s the socialite of the rich family in Glendale?”“The Grays had already looked her up. Eveline is indeed the socialite of the rich family in Glendale. Her family background is extraordinary.”“No wonder. No wonder Carter chose her. It’s indeed helpful for his fight over the right to rule.”Madeline could hear all the whispers around her. Even though they were soft, Madeline had good hearing.Nevertheless, she pretended she did not hear anything and merely smiled.Soon after, she saw an old man sitting at the front of the Royal Palace.The man was sitting upright and still. Despite his old age, he emitted a very strong aura.Madeline could tell that the old man was the person Carter mentioned earlier, but his clothes looked very simple
Chapter 1965
Jim's mother exposed Carter with no regard for his image. She had no intention of giving Carter any chance.As she said that, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became serious.Before deciding to have a wedding with Madeline, Carter had already made preparations a long time ago. He had asked those who knew that he and Madeline almost had a wedding to remain silent.However, what he had not expected was that Jim's mother would expose such information at such a time.Nonetheless, this was also predictable.Jim wanted to fight for the royal sucession, and of course, his mother wanted to help him.Just like how Camille helped Carter.Old Master Gray's expression gradually looked displeased, and then he looked at Carter and spoke with a much calmer tone.“Carter, this is a big deal. Is your aunt telling the truth?”“Dad, how would I dare to speak nonsense during such an occasion?” Jim's mother was confident; she had her card up her sleeve.However, Carter did not panic at all. He
