Chapter 2092
To sit on the throne that symbolized the position of power, he had started planning a long time ago.“Every man for himself, and the Devil takes the hindmost,” Carter answered Madeline indifferently.Madeline looked at Carter who said these words contemptuously. “Carter, you can fight for the goal you want, but you can't get it using improper means.”“Why not? The process doesn’t matter to me at all. What I want is the result,” Carter argued in defense.“So, Shirley's feelings aren’t important to you? Do you mean that what matters to you is being happy and getting what you want?”Upon hearing this, Carter's expression froze slightly.Puzzled, he frowned and stared at Madeline's sharp and beautiful eyes.“Eveline, what do you want to say?”“You still haven’t figured this out? And you’re still claiming that you really like Shirley.”“...”“If you really liked Shirley, you wouldn’t have ignored her feelings, fettered her to you, and asked her to do everything for you. Have you e
Chapter 2093
After leaving the Stygian Johnson Gang house, Carter snuck into the hospital to buy something to clean his wounds. He then went to the toilet in the mall to disinfect and clean the wounds on his shoulder and leg.A gunshot wound was not an ordinary wound. This kind of pain was very bothersome even though Carter could stand it.Worried that the people from St. Piaf would find him, he hid in the toilet carefully the whole time. After that, he only left the mall when it was time to meet Shirley.The sky was gradually turning dark, and the streetlights lit up promptly.There were not a lot of people walking around in West Harbor.Shirley got out of the taxi and thanked the driver, then she maneuvered the wheelchair to move to her destination slowly.Fabian had proposed to follow Shirley to meet Carter, but in the end, Shirley came alone.The streetlights shone dimly under the sunset.Carter stood by the sea. His figure was not that far away, but Shirley felt as if a vast distance l

“Have you forgotten about Ryan?” Carter asked with a smile.Of course, Shirley had not forgotten. She had not stopped Carter when he said he wanted to kill Ryan.It seemed that she had already been a murderer back then.When he saw Shirley sitting there in a daze, Carter lifted his hand and softly touched Shirley’s face, which had gone cold from the wind. Her scar was so dazzling under the dim light.“Everyone is fighting for the things they want in life. Back then, I had been so passionate and enthusiastic, but now, I realized I’m getting tired.” Carter’s eyes became inexplicably gentle as he spoke.“I believe you didn’t tell those people from St. Piaf about my location this time, am I right?”Carter probed. However, ever since Shirley panicked and became scared that something would happen to him, he knew Shirley would no longer ask those people to get him.When he saw Shirley looking at him silently, Carter lifted the corner of his lips. A gentle smile that had been long gone
Chapter 2095
When he heard that sudden question from Shirley, Carter stopped in his tracks amidst pushing Shirley’s wheelchair.He looked at the sea that was glistening under the sunset, but there was no light in his eyes.He smiled half-heartedly.“There are no ifs in this world.”He answered, then asked, chuckling.“If there were ifs, and if I could go back to the first time I met you on the street, do you think I would help you again?”After Shirley thought about it, she displayed a helpless and self-mocking smile.She believed that Carter would still help her.That was because there were no ifs in this world.They could not change what had happened.When he saw Shirley staying silent, Carter slowly pushed the wheelchair forward.The darkness slowly overwhelmed them as the last rays from the sunset were chased away by the night. Everything in front of them was covered by the darkness.The cold winter wind kept blowing at them, and Shirley felt her heart slowly turning cold, and event

Carter stopped speaking and looked at Shirley whose expression had changed drastically.“Do you think this to be a bit cruel? If this were back then, you would’ve supported me in this too, wouldn’t you?”“Yes, if this were back then, I might’ve even helped you,” Shirley said, mocking herself. There was a sarcastic smile on her face, but her heart was in a knot. She felt so pained and tormented.She seemed to kill everyone around her, and in the end, she, too, would head toward death.After remaining silent for a while, Shirley looked at Carter.“When did you inject Lilian with the test reagent?”“I did it when she and you were asleep, of course,” Carter answered nonchalantly. When he saw Shirley’s solemn expression, he asked, “You like that little thing, don’t you? If our child had been fine, he’d be in this world soon, and we’d have our own child.”As he said this, Carter’s eyes seemed to light up, but soon after, the light vanished, and in its place was a look of hatred.“Jer
Chapter 2097
After listening to what had Carter said, Shirley's tears rolled out of her eyes one by one.The scorching tears fell onto the back of Carter's hand, and the heat immediately burned his heart.As Carter spoke, he put the diamond ring on Shirley's ring finger.He could feel Shirley's misery at this moment, so Carter suppressed his emotions. His Adam's apple gently moved twice, suppressing the feeling of grief.“Shirley, I am very happy that I had the chance of knowing you in this life. I was too petty for not being able to forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye. In the end, my obsession made me wander onto the wrong path, and now, there’s no turning back for me.”Carter suppressed his pain and forced himself to finish speaking. He grabbed Shirley's hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.“I know that you always have me in your heart, but so what? We might not be able to come together in the end just because of our mutual affection. Maybe someone like me isn’t worth
Chapter 2098
Those words should have been sweet, but in that instant, they felt like a sharp knife through Shirley’s heart.She knew she could no longer stop Carter.Carter had already made up his mind.When she saw Carter approaching the sea slowly, Shirley’s heart immediately split open. The cold winter wind overwhelmed her heart, and she felt a bone-chilling coldness.“No! Carter, please don’t do this! Carter!”Shirley cried out to stop him. She reached out her hand to him and used all she had to move her body to get close to Carter, but eventually, she fell out of the wheelchair.When Carter heard the sound, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to take a look.He saw Shirley on the ice-cold floor. She lay there helplessly as she kept waving at him with all her might, tears drenching her face.Carter felt his heart tighten, and he furrowed his brows. However, he chose to turn a blind eye.“No, don’t, no…”Shirley reached out her trembling hand. She hoped that Carter would turn ba
Chapter 2099
Just like Carter, Shirley thought something was wrong with her eyes.However, the face in front of her and the body temperature on her skin made Shirley certain that this was not an illusion.“Eveline? It's really you!”Madeline could feel Shirley’s surprise at the sight of her. Madeline smiled and nodded. “Yes, it's me. Get up first.”“You’re still alive. That’s great!” Shirley was so excited that tears escaped her eyes, then through her blurred vision, she saw another figure. “Jeremy? Jeremy is alive too. This is great! You’re all fine!”Madeline could see Shirley’s sincere hope that Madeline and Jeremy would be safe and sound. In contrast to Shirley, however, when Carter saw that the couple had escaped unscathed, anger and questions immediately came to his mind.Despite the raging anger in his chest, Carter chuckled pretentiously.“Jeremy, you sure are tough.”Carter's tone was sarcastic. He then looked at Madeline and concluded.“It seems that I inadvertently saved you whe
