Chapter 1964
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

Madeline looked at Carter and then looked at the people around her who were waiting for her answer. Suddenly, she smiled.“Of course, I’m not hypnotized.” Madeline’s answer was simple, clear, and very certain. Carter was very satisfied with this answer. However, in his heart, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.Madeline’s answer was too certain.She did not look like a hypnotized person at all.At one side, Jim’s mother laughed again. “This is such a joke. You’re asking a hypnotized person to answer this kind of question. Would she know whether she’s hypnotized?”“You’re right. A hypnotized person certainly wouldn’t know whether they’ve been hypnotized because they wouldn’t have their own thoughts. But madam, I, Eveline Montgomery, am not hypnotized.”Madeline’s tone was confident. As she said that, she turned her eyes to Carter. The look in his eyes started to change.“Because my hypnosis has been broken.”“...”This was the answer Carter did not want to hear. It was

“Carter Gray, you lose.”Those four words gently drifted into Carter’s ears. Madeline’s voice, so pleasant to the ear, sounded extremely piercing to Carter right now.An icy glint flashed across his cold eyes, but Madeline looked into his eyes fearlessly.“Carter, you didn’t expect this, did you? My hypnosis was broken again. Everyone says that you’re the master of hypnosis and that you have amazing hypnosis skills, but this shows that you’re not that great after all.”Madeline parted her lips and continued with a slightly sarcastic tone.“But perhaps it was because you had kept fighting for the royal succession, so your skills have deteriorated.”“...”Madeline’s words made Carter furrow his brows slowly.At that moment, he did not know how to retort Madeline, yet he did not allow himself to stay silent for long.A few seconds later, Carter chuckled lowly.“Eveline, are you still mad at me? There are so many guests, and grandpa is also here. Stop making a fuss.”Carter was

Aside from the exclamations from the people who knew Shirley, the people who did not know Shirley also looked shocked.“Who is that woman?”“It seems that she’s here to expose Carter.”“Shh. Don’t talk nonsense. That’s the viscount of St. Piaf. Before we find out what’s going on, don’t label people randomly lest we get into trouble.”When everyone heard this, the atmosphere in the hall of the Royal Palace became abnormally silent.Old Master Gray had a very deep impression of Shirley as well. He knew that Carter and Shirley had almost gotten married a few years ago, but after that, Shirley left the family and left St. Piaf for some reason.The Old Master had not expected Shirley to look like this when he saw her again.“Old Master Gray, I believe you’re not unfamiliar with me, right?” Shirley looked into the Old Master’s eyes fearlessly. “If you still remember me, I think you’ll believe what I have to say, isn’t right?”Old Master Gray pressed his lips together and said, “Go on
Chapter 1969
Astonished, Carter looked at Shirley who had just said that.How was that possible?That could never have happened.Carter kept on denying this in his heart, but Shirley’s firm gaze told him that this was true.After Shirley and Carter looked at each other for a while, Shirley averted her gaze coldly and spoke earnestly and unflinchingly to the Old Master.“Old Master Gray, I am telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can find someone to verify this. With your ability, I believe that nothing will escape from your eyes as long as you want to know something.”After saying that, Shirley glanced at Carter and mocked him mercilessly.“I can confidently tell everyone here that Carter Gray has no right to fight for the monarch’s throne in St. Piaf because he’s not worthy.”“...” Carter could no longer describe how he was feeling right now. The tempest that was his anger was on the verge of exploding.However, the person in front of him was Shirley.It was Shirley.In the pa
Chapter 1970
Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and she could also guess what he would do next.Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but she was not.“Carter, I know that you’re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today. Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how I killed my child after developing AXP69.”Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter.It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull him down from his grace. A self-mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then he turned around and left without saying a word.Carter left just like that.The people in front of him made way for him accommodatingly.Without explaining himself or fighting back, he walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.S
Chapter 1971
It was none other than the maid who was with Jeremy before the wedding.Madeline was about to look for Jeremy, and she had a feeling in her heart that this maid might know where Jeremy was, so Madeline walked hurriedly over to her.Since Madeline did not know the maid’s name, she could not call out to her, so she could only walk faster to chase up to the maid.However, when Madeline was halfway there, the maid suddenly turned around.The maid, who did seem to have seen Madeline, walked straight up to the entrance to a room, pushed the door open, and walked in.Madeline intuitively knew something was wrong, so she quickly ran after her.The moment the door was about to close, Madeline lifted her hand to hold the door, then she pushed the door open and walked in.Just as she arrived at the entrance, she heard the maid’s soft voice coming from the room.“I had wanted to leave just like that, but after I thought about it, I was still reluctant to leave you. I didn’t think that you’
