Shirley sounded very decisive.Carter seemed to be stumped for words for a while. Then, he tugged the corners of his lips.“Shirley, do you know what you’re saying?”“I do. I know what I said,” Shirley answered slowly without even lifting her beautiful eyes. “I’ve thought it through, and I won’t let you manipulate me like an idiot. We were just using each other anyway, Mr. Gray. You used me to reach your goals, and to be honest, I was also just using you.”When Carter heard this answer, he felt as if he had heard a huge joke.“You were using me?” He scoffed and asked, “What were you using me for?”“You still can’t tell what I was using you for?” Shirley asked. The corner of her red lip that looked slightly pale was lifted in a disdainful smile.“The first time I met you, I knew you could give me a life of luxury and the best education.“I was just pretending to be pitiful to gain pity from you and Camille. I wanted you guys to keep me in Gray Manor, I wanted to make you relucta

Carter took the tablet and had a look. When he saw the photo on the screen, his eyes were filled with shock. It seemed that he could not believe what he was seeing.“You want me to marry her?” Carter looked at Camille in suspicion.Camille nodded firmly. “She’s the most suitable candidate for now, Carter. You’re someone who’s going to achieve great things, so I don't want you to be driven by your emotions and let a woman affect your bright future.”Carter looked at the photo on the screen with intense disgust in his heart. However, when he suddenly remembered what Shirley had said, he suddenly laughed.“Don’t worry, I’ll focus on my career from now on. No woman will be able to affect my mood anymore.”“Good.” Camille stood up and turned her head to order the butler, “Go and prepare for Mr. Carter’s marriage. It has to be grand, and I want to let everyone in St. Piaf witness that moment.”“Understood, Madam,” the butler replied and was about to go make preparations.“Wait.” Carte

When Lilian saw Fabian at a loss for words, she avoided Fabian’s gaze, hurt evident in her eyes. She then reached out to take the hat and gently put it back on.In a daze, Fabian gradually gathered his wandering thoughts. At this moment, he made the final decision.“Lily.”He finally spoke, his solemn eyes looking straight into Lillian’s melancholic, big eyes.“Lily, do you want to come with me?”Fabian asked gently but his tone betrayed urgency.He was worried that Madeline would soon return.Lillian, not understanding what Fabian meant, only blinked and looked at him.“Lily, I’ll bring you somewhere that could heal you. You’ll be able to get better quickly, then you can talk just like how you could back then.”Lillian vaguely understood what Fabian meant this time. She blinked her clear eyes and her pink lips moved to speak. “Daddy. Mommy.”Daddy. Mommy.Those were the only two words that Lillian could utter now.Fabian understood how Lillian felt. She wanted her father a

Madeline was about to turn at the next junction to stop Fabian’s car, but at that moment, the location of the red dot on her phone abruptly changed.It should have been moving forward, but it suddenly moved back before stopping.In that instance, Madeline did not know if she should go forward or turn back around.However, she did not have time to think. She quickly turned her steering wheel and drove to the location where the red dot had stopped at.The location, however, was in the middle of the road where cars came and went.The cars criss-crossed on the road, yet the red dot never moved.Madeline then understood. Someone had disposed of the GPS on Lilian.She watched the bustling street. It was a rare sunny day in winter, yet a gloom came over her, darkening everything she saw.“Lily.”Madeline murmured Lillian’s name, feeling extremely helpless.After Jeremy got the call from Madeline, he rushed to her as fast as he could.Madeline was sitting by the flowerbed near where

It was the Glendale Airport.Based on Fabian’s words earlier, Jeremy had a feeling that Fabian might leave Glendale with Lillian.As he predicted, after checking the flight, he found out that Fabian had got on a chartered plane that flew from Glendale to F Country.The plane just took off five minutes ago.It was impossible to stop a plane, so Jeremy could only book the next plane ticket to F Country immediately. In the meantime, he also contacted his colleagues from Interpol, hoping that they would stop Fabian at the airport.Once Madeline knew about this, she wanted to go to F Country with Jeremy.Jeremy knew he could not say no to Madeline, so together, they waited for their flight at the airport.The closest flight was in three hours. There was little else they could do apart from waiting.However, two hours later, Jeremy received a call from his Interpol colleague in F Country. The person told him that the chartered plane under Fabian’s name had just landed in F Country, b
