She stood by the balcony and remained unmoved, her eyes lingering on the bloodstain on the floor. It was the blood from Jeremy's wound last night.Looking at the dried-up blood, Madeline's eyes were imposing and firm.‘Jeremy, I took the wrong step.‘But I think I won’t be wrong again in my next step.’Click.The sound of the door opening came from behind.Madeline heard footsteps approaching her, but it did not sound like it was Carter.Madeline calmly looked back and saw Ada wearing a gorgeous Lolita costume as she walked toward her with a look of disdain and arrogance.“Hmph.” Ada sneered, “I really don't know what kind of charm a married woman who has three children like you has. Eveline, what means did you use to get Carty to take you as his wife? Can you teach me?”Seeing Ada's disdainful face, Madeline behaved more contemptuously than her.“Miss Ada, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be innocent? With a character like yours, it’ll be difficult for an

The priest nodded in satisfaction and then turned to ask Madeline.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, are you willing to marry Mr. Carter Gray and be his wife? Are you willing to marry him and support each other for life regardless of pain or illness, sadness or happiness?”Madeline knew that everyone was waiting for her two-word answer, but she knew that there was one person who did not want to hear that.“Miss Eveline Montgomery, please answer my question. Are you willing to—”“I do not,” Madeline decisively interrupted the priest who was repeating the question.Her distinct and resonant voice sounded very clearly in the empty field.Those who heard Madeline's answer were all stunned. Then, it was followed by all kinds of exclamations fueled by shock and surprise.The priest stared at Madeline dumbfoundedly. “Miss Eveline, please answer again. Are you willing to—”“I said, I do not.”“...”Again, Madeline's straightforward answer sounded very outrageous.The crowd was promised a s

She immediately realized who had arrived. This special voice remained freshly engraved in her memory.Ada turned her head abruptly, and her eyes, filled with guilt, fell on Jeremy's figure, silhouetted against the light outside.She panicked and looked at Carter, but Carter's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already expected Jeremy's appearance.Meanwhile, Madeline was much more certain that her man would appear.She met Jeremy's gaze, full of affection and longing, which filled her heart suddenly with a boundless sense of security.She no longer cared what would happen next.He was her most stalwart source of strength and support.At this moment, murmurs rippled across the surrounding area, all were equally stunned by his appearance and curious at his stroll towards Madeline. “Who’s that?”“I think I’ve seen him somewhere before. He looks very familiar.”“I know who he is! I saw him on the Internet. He is the young master of Glendale’s number one family, Jeremy W

”Hiss.”Madeline turned her head hurriedly and saw Jeremy's face gradually turning pale.She quickly noticed that Jeremy's right leg trembled slightly when he stepped on the accelerator. The thought of Jeremy’s injury pained her heart.“Jeremy, stop the car by the roadside. I’ll drive.”Jeremy glanced at the rearview mirror. After confirming that the coast was clear, he followed Madeline’s instructions and stopped the car by the roadside.After the car had stopped, Madeline and Jeremy decisively exchanged seats. Madeline then started the car.She was not familiar with the roads of St. Piaf, so she continued onwards, following the road the entire way until they reached a deserted path. After ensuring that there were no cars following them from behind, Madeline stopped the car.“Jeremy, how are you doing?”Madeline’s heart ached as she approached Jeremy’s side. When she saw the wound on his ankle bleeding again, she immediately got off the car and helped Jeremy out of the passeng

Jeremy opened his lips calmly and said, “It’s the Carter Gray of St. Piaf, the one of royal lineage.”“...” The police officer was stunned by the words. Then, he immediately denied, “What nonsense are you going on about? Mr. Gray wouldn’t do such a thing. You are simply being outrageous!”As soon as the police officer had finished scolding, the interrogation room door opened, admitting a seemingly more experienced, middle-aged police officer who politely invited in another individual. Jeremy’s face was a mask of calm as he watched the man approach him, his hands hardening into fists. Carter noticed Jeremy's displeasure and pressed his lips into a complacent smile.“I’ve reminded you a long time ago that challenging me will only ensnare her into this situation.”Upon hearing this, Jeremy's clenched fist slowly loosened. The corners of his beautiful lips burst into a smile that looked even more contented than Carter’s.“Carter, do you think you’ve won in this situation? You’re w
