Shirley paused. She did not know what the card Lillian handed her was.She slowly reached out to take the card from Lillian’s small hand.Shirley brought it before her and looked, then realized that it was a card with Lillian’s personal information.Lilian’s details, as well as her health condition, were written on it along with her current address. With this, Shirley was certain that Lillian was mute and could not speak. As such, if Lillian were lost, she would hope that a kind person would be able to send her home.However, this was useless in this current situation.Why would Carter send Lillian back?Carter, who also noticed the card Lillian handed to Shirley, walked over and took the card from Shirley’s hand.After taking a look, the corners of his lips lifted into a cold and disdainful smirk.He simply tossed the card into the bin and turned around coldly.Lillian furrowed her adorable eyebrows and turned to walk to the bin. After she picked up the card, she carefully

Madeline vaguely heard Lillian’s name, so she quickly turned and walked downstairs.Fabian seemed to hear Madeline's footsteps coming downstairs and he deliberately walked towards the door, avoiding Madeline.Noticing Fabian’s move, Madeline hurried to catch up, but when she walked up to Fabian, he had just hung up the phone.“Fabian, who were you on the call with? Is it related to Lily? Where have you taken Lily?”Madeline's face was full of worry as she questioned, “Fabian, tell me!”Fabian chuckled nonchalantly in the face of Madeline's anxious questioning.“Eveline, don't waste time and energy. I won't tell you where Lillian is.”Fabian's answer was extraordinarily cold and inhumane.Madeline knew that he was acting like this because of prejudice against herself and Jeremy.Madeline simultaneously felt helpless and very regretful.“Fabian, when we first met, you were a positive, unruly, and energetic boy who strived to improve yourself. I’d thought we would always be good

Carter’s action was devoid of tenderness. He even looked a little brutal.After Lillian was pushed away, she looked at Carter with a look of loss on her face.Carter’s gaze darkened. “What are you looking at, huh? You can’t speak, so do your ears also not work? I said there’s none for you, don’t you understand?”“Carter.” Shirley could not stand Carter’s attitude. “Carter, are you sick in the head? You’re a grown man and you’re bullying a little girl?”Carter scoffed nonchalantly when he heard Shirley scolding him.“It’s her fault that she’s Jeremy and Eveline’s child. You can’t blame me for that.”After saying that disdainfully, he turned around and pushed Shirley’s wheelchair to the dining room.Lillian sat on the sofa alone and silently stared at Carter and Shirley’s back.She lifted her hand to touch her flat stomach.‘Yeah, I’m a little hungry.‘Usually, Fabian will eat dinner with me at this time.‘But now, I can only go hungry.’Lillian blinked her clear, big eyes an

“You… Eveline, why are you here?” Bewildered, Fabian stared at Madeline. He did not know how long she had been standing there.Madeline looked at Fabian with a serious look on her face. “Who was that on the phone? What happened to Lily? How do you know Carter Gray?”Madeline questioned and walked up to Fabian.The flame in her gaze glinted piercingly, shooting a terrifying power that would make people’s hearts shiver.“Fabian, tell me, where is my daughter? How do you know Carter Gray?”When Fabian heard what Madeline said, he stood there dazedly in silence. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but he did not speak.Upon seeing Fabian in such a state, suddenly, Madeline gradually came to a realization.“I understand now. I finally understand.” As realization emerged in Madeline’s mind, her expression grew more and more serious. “It’s Carter, isn’t it? He’s the one who’s inciting disharmony between us. That’s why you’ve suddenly been acting like this toward me and Jeremy.”When h

“You heard everything, didn’t you?” Carter was frank with her.Shirley calmly asked, “Who’s Evan? Why are you meeting this person?”Carter scanned Shirley’s face calmly before he walked to the toilet. “You don’t need to know too much. You just need to follow my orders.”It did not seem that he wanted to explain, but after he said that, Carter heard Shirley chuckling coldly behind him.“Yeah, I don’t need to know. I’m always like a clown with no dignity, and I only need to listen to Mr. Carter’s orders and arrangement.”Carter suddenly stopped in his tracks.When he turned around, Shirley had already gone into her room with her glass of water and tightly shut the door to the room.Clown?Carter lowered his gaze and laughed at himself. Presently, he was the one who seemed more like a clown.The next morning.When Shirley woke up, she realized that Carter had left.She saw the breakfast on the table, and she knew Carter had prepared this for her.She then saw that he had prepa
