Madeline did not want to be the passive one. She turned around and looked into Carter’s eyes calmly.“Mr. Carter, thank you for helping me out of trouble just now. If you hadn’t helped me just now, I don’t think your mother would’ve believed anything I said.”Carter looked at her with his deep eyes. “I’m just telling her the truth. Your name is just a coincidence and your face is plastic, no?”“...”Madeline had nothing to say to that.Did Carter believe what she said?Madeline was suspicious, but looking at Carter’s expression, it did not seem as if he was suspecting her.“You can’t leave for the time being. You can only leave after all the guests have left.” Carter reminded Madeline, and his gaze once again landed on her face.This face was delicate and flawless. Plus, it was fair and glowing. There were no signs of it having been burned at all.The doctor who treated Madeline must be someone with extraordinary skills.“How did your face manage to recover to this extent in

In the past, Madeline felt that Jeremy's eyes seemed to make her feel as if she was being seen through, but at this moment, Carter's gaze also gave her this feeling.“You know what I’ve figured out, Mr. Carter?” Madeline asked with a puzzled smile.Carter smiled without saying a word. His gaze moved closer to Madeline, and the slight smile on his lips looked very intriguing.“You want to tell me that you’ve figured it out and you don't want to fall in love with that Jeremy like a fool anymore. You don't even want to go back to Whitman Manor and you want to stay by my side, no?”“...”Madeline was stunned. She had indeed wanted to tell him this lie, but she never thought that Carter could see through her at a glance.Seeing Madeline looking at him blankly, the smile on Carter's lips became deeper.“What a coincidence. I think so too. If you don't want to go back, you can stay by my side in the future.” His tone softened a lot. “I'm going out now. Do you want to come with me?”Ca

Hearing this gentle and sweet voice, Jeremy slowly raised his deep gaze. He looked at the woman who was walking in front of him, and what he found during his investigation in Y Country these two days flashed across in his mind.Naomi saw that Jeremy was looking at herself so intently. As such, she pretended to blink shyly and then spoke in a coquettish tone.“Jeremy, I really missed you during the two days you were away. We haven’t had the time for just the two of us to have a candlelight dinner. Our parents and children are not here tonight, so let us enjoy the time with only the two of us, okay?”Jeremy thought of that night not long ago.He had a candlelight dinner with her in the restaurant.After that, he walked hand in hand with her on the street. He had even kissed her on the street where fireworks bloomed.“Jeremy, what are you thinking about?” Naomi approached curiously, trying to take Jeremy's hand, but Jeremy merely took off his suit jacket. She did not get to hook her

Naomi did not even know who the woman in the car was, but she knew that this person had now mistakenly identified her as Eveline and said that she needed to work with her.Hearing the sound of chasing footsteps behind her, Naomi opened the car door without hesitation and quickly got in.“Drive now!”Ada did not know why Naomi was so flustered, but she did not hesitate and stepped on the accelerator.The moment the car started, Ada saw Jeremy coming from one side from the corner of her eyes. Although the light from the streetlamp was not so bright, Jeremy's appearance and facial features stunned Ada for a moment.This man was Jeremy.He looked even more attractive in real life than in the pictures she had seen.Ada pondered quietly and glanced at Naomi who was sitting in the back seat.Sure enough, that plastic freak looked exactly like this Eveline!‘Hmph, the technology for plastic surgery nowadays is so advanced.’Ada thought while feeling unconvinced. Then, she realized th

“Ah!”Cathy exclaimed in surprise.Following the blood-stained palm, she saw a familiar face.Felipe lay unconscious on the rainy ground, and his bloody fingers were weakly holding onto Cathy's trousers.“Ca-Cathy…”“Cathy...”Cathy repeated the word with Felipe, and after the last syllable, Felipe's hand that was tightly holding her trousers also loosened.After seeing Felipe suddenly losing consciousness in front of her, Cathy did not know why her heart seemed to ache so severely.The rain of late autumn penetrated her skin with a bone-chilling coolness, but a scene appeared in her head vaguely.It seemed to be raining cats and dogs as well. It had been at night when such a person fell in a pool of blood too. She had walked toward the injured man with an umbrella. She did not remember what happened afterward because the scene ended here.“I saw him running here just now!”“He must be nearby! Find him now!”“Don't let him run away again this time!”Suddenly, she could hea
