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’

The maid was stunned. She could not believe it and did not want to accept what she heard. As the turn of events kept replaying in her mind, a pained and conflicted expression danced on her face.“What do you mean? What does this all mean?”The maid looked at Madeline and Jeremy in confusion.They were a couple?If that was the case, why did Madeline marry Mr. Carter?She could not wrap her head around this.What confused her the most was why did Carter want to bring her and Jeremy together.“Linnie, there’s something I need to tell you.” Jeremy’s eyes were filled with apology.Madeline nodded. “I know what you want to tell me. This isn’t the place to talk. We should go now. I’ve booked tomorrow morning’s flight for us, so we’ll go home tomorrow.”Jeremy furrowed his brows in suspicion. “Won’t Carter cause trouble to you?”Madeline smiled. “He’s helpless now.”After Jeremy heard that, a flabbergasted look appeared on his face, and then he smiled softly and held Madeline’s han

Shirley quickly collected her wandering thoughts.The sky was gray, and it was drizzling.Shirley was having an unquiet state of mind. She looked at the driver who came over to help her and thanked him.The driver wore a cap and a face mask. He did not speak. He merely kindly helped her into the car and put away the wheelchair.Shirley sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. Her expression looked abnormally dispirited.During the drive, the driver would occasionally lift his eyes to look at Shirley from the rearview mirror.Shirley, who was looking out of the window the whole time, did not know that the driver was observing her.Although it was only drizzling, Shirley felt that it was raining cats and dogs in her heart.Her only family member had died, and the friend who took care of her this whole time was dead as well.She had even personally gone to destroy the future of the man she loved the most.Heh.Shirley chuckled at herself. She felt that her l

That test reagent?Shirley’s expression changed. Her eyes moved about as she thought, but she could not figure out which test reagent Carter was talking about.That was because she had developed too many kinds of test reagents back when Carter ordered her to do so.The sight of Carter’s sly smile sent a chill down Shirley’s spine. A terrifying feeling crept into her heart.“What did you do to Eveline and Jeremy?”“Are you worried about Jeremy or the partner with whom you fooled me?”“...”Shirley looked blankly at the man. She could tell from Carter’s expression that something was not right. He looked as if possessed, and there was only hatred burning in his eyes.Did he hate Eveline and Jeremy?Shirley’s heart trembled. She still could not figure out what test reagent Carter was talking about.However, he already saw the uneasiness and apprehension on Shirley’s face.He smiled and spoke no further.…Elsewhere, it had been a few days since Madeline and Jeremy went back to

When Madeline said that, Jeremy suddenly felt like he was at a loss.However, it was understandable that she wanted to be by herself.“Linnie, I'll be outside the study. Call me if you need me,” Jeremy said and was about to turn around and go out.However, Madeline grabbed his hand. “Jeremy, your injury isn’t healed yet, so move as little as possible. I'll wait in the room for a bit.”After she said that, Madeline let go of Jeremy's hand and walked toward the door to the study.Jeremy's heart suddenly became empty.If his leg hurt, so, too, did her scalded foot. However, at this moment, nothing hurt more than her heart.Jeremy was truly irritated. He really had been careless back then. He had not kept his guard up against the maid, so he did not think that there was a problem with the cake.He recalled the situation in detail, and there was still a particular scene in his mind that he did not want to remember. How could he touch a woman other than his Linnie?He could not acce
