Ch. 1801..1810

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1801

Madeline did not find Fabian to be unfamiliar because ever since her arrival there, she had seen Fabian and Evan the most.

She could tell that Fabian intended to block the entrance, but she had no means of retreating.

The moment she took a step forward, her wrist was yanked by Jeremy who came rushing over behind her.

Believe me, Linnie. I'm not lying to you. You're really sick. Once you've taken this injection, you'll know that I'm not lying to you.

Jeremy emphasized sincerely, hoping that Madeline would believe him.

However, Madeline only wanted to free herself from his grip. "It's impossible for me to have faith in you again, Jeremy. I no longer have feelings for you!"

Linnie.

All of you, get away. Even if I were to die, I'll not die in any of your hands.

Madeline desperately struggled to loosen Jeremy's grip, intending to push Fabian aside and rushed out after that.

Fabian, however, was less merciful than Jeremy as Fabian grabbed Madeline's arm in a domineering manner and yanked her back toward Jeremy.

Why are you hesitating? Are you still hoping that she'd cooperate? Inject it now if you want. Fabian forcefully pushed Madeline toward Jeremy.

When Madeline heard that, her expression paled further, and insecurity and terror flashed in her eyes.

She glared at Jeremy who stood before her, watching him as he reached over, the syringe in his hand. Her eyes no longer lit up. All that remained was a shattered hope.

Jeremy, you truly are heartless. Madeline looked at him, disappointed.

Jeremy was unbothered by Madeline's disdain for him.

He knew that with the injection, she would recover, returning her to the Madeline who loved him.

However, before Madeline's gaze, he could not bring himself to inject her with it.

What are you hesitating about, Jeremy? Fabian reminded.

Jeremy then returned to his senses, tightly grabbing the syringe.

I'm sorry, Linnie.

Madeline's eyes suddenly flashed, staring at the approaching needle, and her face turned pale.

Don't  come near me, Jeremy. Let go of me, Jeremy. You scumbag. You playboy. You'll regret it. You'll definitely regret it...

Before Madeline could finish speaking, Jeremy finally injected the needle into Madeline's veins.

As the transparent liquid slowly flowed into her veins, she no longer spoke nor struggled, merely stared at Jeremy.

Jeremy felt Madeline's attention was upon him, but now, he was focused on giving her the injection.

After the injection, Jeremy saw that Madeline's eyelashes flickered before her eyelids helplessly closed.

Linnie.

Jeremy immediately spread open his arms to hold Madeline who passed out.

What was in the injection? Why did she pass out so soon? Evan asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

Jeremy, saying nothing, discarded the syringe into the bin, then carried Madeline by her waist.

Where are you going? Fabian asked coldly.

Jeremy's footsteps came to a halt, and his eyes lowered to look at the woman in his arms.

She'll be fine when she wakes up, so there's no need for her to stay in the hospital. Jeremy's tone suddenly became cold as she spoke. "Fabian, the issue with my daughter isn't over. I'll be back for you." When he finished speaking, Jeremy quickly left the scene, carrying Madeline.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1802

Evan looked at Jeremy's back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. "Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?"

Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy's outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. "Recover? If it's anything like that from last time, I don't think it'd be that easy to completely recover."

Anything like that from last time? This piqued Evan's curiosity again.

However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.

Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.

When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy's hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline's marriage certificate. The customer service lady then proceeded with the rental.

After carrying Madeline to the room, Jeremy kept staying by her side.

He still felt perturbed, unsure whether Madeline would recover once she woke up.

On a couple of previous occasions, Madeline had never passed out after the injection, but this time, she was out cold.

Linnie, I hope you'll no longer hate me once you wake up.

Jeremy held Madeline's hand and gently kissed it. He looked at Madeline, his eyes heavy with unease and insecurity.

He was truly terrified of Madeline's coldly gazing at him. Her gaze made Jeremy feel as if his presence were unimportant. Her gaze was as painful as a knife piercing his heart.

Jeremy had not expected the poison to be this terrifying.

It not only tormented one's body but their emotions and soul as well.

In Glendale.

Shirley sat in a wheelchair facing the dressing table.

In the mirror, she could see the left side of her face that was perfectly unharmed. After putting on make-up, concealing the stunning image she used to have, all that remained was a sense of elegance.

Shirley smirked when she looked at her current self. She had never thought that she would have this day.

When she looked at the other half of her face, she had never expected that one day, she would meet with disfigurement.

Let me help you wear the mask. Cathy handed a mask to Shirley.

Shirley looked at the mask and her eyes lifted as she smiled mockingly.

In the past, my face was just like a secret weapon that could help me benefit, but now, anyone would be disgusted at it. They'll see me as an ugly woman.

As Shirley spoke in a self-deprecating tone, she looked at Cathy.

You too, right? You must think it a hassle to look after me every day? If it's not for Adam, you wouldn't even be staying here.

Upon listening to Shirley's self-condemning words, Cathy said calmly, "Have you forgotten that I was once disfigured in the past? I was also slashed in the face with a knife by someone. Besides, it wasn't just once, but twice, thrice, and even more...

"That time, I too felt hopeless, but I slowly understood. There's nothing more precious than being alive.

Do you know what it means to be alive?"" Cathy asked Shirley, then answered, ""it's not just life, it's also an opportunity. As long as we live on, there will be hope, but I hope that you could reflect on yourself and stop making those harmful anti- toxoid test reagents."""

Shirley silently listened to Cathy, then glanced at Cathy in dissatisfaction. "Are you lecturing me?"

"I don' t have the time to lecture you. I just don't understand why you're always hostile to others.

You're right, if it's not for Adam, I truly wouldn't even bother about you."

Cathy cleaned up the dressing table and turned around after speaking.

Shirley, noticing Cathy leaving, immediately got anxious. "Don't go. Jordan, please, don't go!"

She quickly pushed her wheelchair, intending to pull onto Cathy, but Shirley failed to do so and, because she exerted too much force, fell to the ground.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1803

Cathy spun around when she heard the commotion, and saw Shirley gracelessly falling onto the ground. The wheelchair beside Shirley was turned over, and she was lying flat on the ground, unable to get up.

Upon seeing the situation, Cathy quickly spun around and headed over.

She squatted to help Shirley up, but Shirley rejected Cathy, shoving Cathy's hand.

I don't need your pity! Shirley bit on her lips, eyes agleam with self-deprecation. "Adam must be overjoyed to see me in such a state, isn't he? He could restore my appearance, yet he's unwilling to

perform the surgery on me! The same goes for you a s well."

Shirley, fists clenched, glanced at Cathy.

You don't intend to help me at all. You're just forced to take care of a useless person like me because of Adam!

You know that you're forcing this on others, then? Adam suddenly walked in through the door.

Shirley briefly paused, before letting out a cold chuckle.

Hehe. Adam, you're finally speaking your mind. You've never thought of helping me. 'Blood is thicker than water.' What utter rubbish.

Yes, I've never thought of helping you. I've permitted your stay here just so that I can sneak a few more anti-toxoid test reagents to help Eveline. Let me put it this way. Do you think this makes more sense? Are you satisfied with it? Adam questioned her emotionlessly.

At that moment, Shirley, at a loss for words, just pursed her lips.

Cathy noticed the tension in the air, so she did not interrupt the conversation between the siblings but offered her hands to help Shirley up.

Shirley, however, was still being stubborn and pushed Cathy's hands away again.

I don't need your pity!

Shirley, withdraw your princess temper. No one here owes you anything, Adam lectured her. "If it weren't for Cathy looking after you all this while, do you think your condition would improve this quickly?"

I never begged her to look after me! ” Shirley said cold-heartedly. She then lifted her cold eyes. From now on, I don't need you two looking after me!"

Shirley said it through her gritted teeth, her fists clenched, then crawled her way to the room door.

Adam just stood aside and watched, his frown deepened at every inch Shirley moved.

Shirley bit her lips and forced herself to crawl forth.

She thought back on the days when she could move around as she wished, her long legs which used to allow her to traverse such a distance to exit the room in mere seconds.

Now, however...

Shirley let out a pitifully cold laugh. 'This is karma.

'I deserved it.' "Hurry and get up."

Shirley was crawling forth and suddenly, she heard a gentle voice drifting to her ears.

Naturally, she could make out that it was Cathy's voice

"You bought this clothing specifically to attend

today's wedding. It won't look nice if you soiled it. "

As Cathy spoke, she squatted and looked at Shirley, who looked lost.

"No one will pity you, and I won't pity someone who develops poison to harm others. You need not condemn yourself either. Didn't you keep saying that Eveline had hired someone to mess you up this way?

Let me tell you, however, that it's impossible to have been Eveline, so it's best if you recuperate, then investigate the true culprit who harmed you."""

Upon hearing that, Shirley immediately retorted, " Apart from Eveline, who else could have done it?! Besides, that woman implied that it was her."

That's not necessarily the case. Isn't it a common thing to push the blame onto others? Cathy slowly asked in turn.

Seeing that Shirley was seemingly deep in thought, Cathy then looked at Adam.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1804

“Adam, come over and give me a hand."

Adam understood Cathy's meaning, but in fact, he had already intended to help.

However, Shirley was aware that Cathy and Adam were trying to help her up at the moment, but she pretended to be deep in thought, silently accepting Adam and Cathy's kind intention.

The sun began to set for the evening.

Adam parked his car at the entrance of the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.

Although it was before the time for the commencement of the wedding banquet, the entrance was already streaming with guests.

Shirley was sitting at the rear seat of the car, watching the guests going into the main entrance. She was familiar with many people there, actually.

Carter's wedding ceremony was a grand one. A day before the wedding, the net was bombarded with the news of his wedding.

The honorable viscount of St. Piaf was about to get married, and it attracted the attention of many.

Additionally, once Carter's daily life photos were posted on the net, it immediately attracted lots of his fans.

The fact that he was a psychiatrist and a high-level hypnotist further attracted more admiration.

Looking at the lively scene before her, Shirley took out a mini mirror and looked at her face.

After looking at it for a few seconds, she showed no expression as she took out a mask and wore it.

Adam and Cathy were the first ones to get down from the car. After getting out of the car, Adam, feeling uneasy, warned Cathy, "Things might be a little troublesome if Carter recognized her."

He expressed his worries and could feel that Carter was unpredictable and quite scary.

“Rest assured that I'll act accordingly. I'll also take good care of Miss Brown."

Cathy, thank you so much. If it weren't for you all this while, I'd truly have no idea how to deal with m y relationship with her, Adam said, thanking her sincerely. Suddenly, he glanced at Shirley. "Even though she has changed a lot when compared to when she was younger, at the end of the day, she's still my sister."

Cathy smiled faintly. "I understand. Adam, you do care for Miss Brown. You're stubborn with your words, but deep down, you care."

What's taking you guys so long? Shirley's pestering voice drifted from the car window.

Adam took the wheelchair out from the trunk and opened it, then, with an irritated look, carried Shirley onto the wheelchair. In the end, he deliberately put on a cold expression and spoke to Shirley in a cold tone.

Since you've insisted on coming here to torment yourself, I'm granting you your wish now. I'll give you an hour at most. Don't cause a scene, lest you bring trouble to Cathy.

Shirley chuckled disdainfully when she heard that. " Just listen to him. Is this the tone a little brother should have when talking to his elder sister? Hmph.

She turned away proudly, controlling the wheelchair, and headed for the entrance herself.

Adam, go on ahead. I'll head in for now, Cathy said, then quickly caught up to Shirley.

It was likely due to Carter's status, the procedure to enter the banquet was a little cumbersome.

After Cathy had handed over the invitation card, the guard studied it meticulously like an examination paper, then looked at Cathy and Shirley, who was in a wheelchair, before letting them in.

To prevent being recognized by Carter or bumped into someone they knew, Cathy too wore a mask.

To prevent publicizing their presence, after entering the banquet, Cathy found a spot and helped Shirley to sit at a corner.

Otherwise, sitting in a wheelchair would catch attention.

After all, the people of St. Piaf were not ordinary people. The decorations of the wedding scene were utterly luxurious.

To Shirley, however, it was an absolutely cruel sentence.

Cathy glanced at Shirley and coincidentally saw Shirley smiling, so Cathy asked, "Do you know who's the bride for this wedding?"

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1805

Cathy remembered that she had seen the bride's name on the wedding invitation card, but it did not strike her as familiar, and she believed that she did not know the bride.

Cathy shook her head. "No idea.” "Hmph. Of course, you wouldn't know."

Shirley smiled, seemingly talking to herself.

She's considered a childhood sweetheart of Carter's, but he has always hated this woman, so much so that he had even used Eveline as a shield to rid himself of her.

Speaking of Carter's engagement with Madeline, Cathy knew parts of it, but she was not privy to the fact that Carter had been using Madeline to get rid of another woman.

However, on that night, he was about to marry that same woman he had wanted to shake off.

Cathy found it rather ridiculous.

However, after considering Carter's status, she could see that there were logical reasons behind all this.

Are you close to the bride? Cathy casually asked.

Not at all, Shirley answered without thinking twice, her eyes glittered scornfully. "Even though I'm not a good person, I think this woman's wickedness far exceeds mine."

What do you mean by that?

Shirley looked at the corners of the banquet hall, and her gaze finally met with Cathy's crystal-clear eyes.

I'm afraid there is a matter that Eveline  is oblivious to even now. Eveline was once kidnapped by someone named Naomi and brought to the port where Eveline had nearly drowned; it was actually a scheme devised by Naomi and this woman.

Cathy was stunned upon hearing this revelation.

Actually, Eveline is very intelligent and managed to escape. She just didn't expect to bump into this woman, who had been standing guard, along the way. After knocking Eveline out cold, this woman just stood aside and watched as Naomi pushed Eveline into the river.

After hearing that, Cathy was even more stunned and puzzled. "How did you know about this incident so clearly?"

Shirley chuckled lightly. "Of course, I'm aware of it because I was just nearby at that time."

Cathy, finding it hard to believe, frowned and asked, "That means you were coldly watching from afar? You merely watched as Eveline nearly drowned?"

The smile on Shirley's face froze, and she no longer spoke a word as if her silence was an admission.

Cathy felt a pinch in her heart, and suddenly she felt she had made a terrible mistake.

Shirley was such a cruel woman, yet Cathy still wanted to care for her.

The more Cathy thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She suddenly got up, as if about  to leave.

Seeing that Cathy was making her leave, Shirley abruptly lifted her head.

"I also saw that Eveline had not lost consciousness. I knew she could swim and would not have drowned.

Cathy's footsteps came to a halt following Shirley's hurried explanation.

She could make out what Shirley was saying in an anxious tone.

Before she could turn around, Cathy heard Shirley continue speaking.

Whether you believe it or not, at the very least, I've never hurt anyone to death."""

You're saying that the frightening poison you've developed isn't considered as hurting anyone? Cathy spun around and asked. "Even now, you still don't realize just how terrifying the things you've done?"

I don't think so, Shirley answered confidently. Her eyes suddenly lost their aggressive look. She was even passionately looking in a certain direction. "I only know that all I have done was for him."

Him.

Following the direction of Shirley's gaze, Cathy saw Carter coming out from the entrance of the banquet hall, his bride walking alongside him.

That bride was Ada.

Shirley had thought that once she had completed the task Carter assigned to her, she would then be able to officially be his wife and have this kind of wedding with him.

However, in the end, the wedding was merely a dream.

She also could not believe that Carter would marry Ada.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1806

Actually, Carter too had not expected himself to show up with Ada in front of his friends and relatives in such a manner.

However, after considering the benefits, he had accepted Camille's proposal.

He wanted to be the heir of St. Piaf, and to do that, he would need help from Ada's family.

Similarly, Ada had assumed that she no longer had the chance to be the viscountess, nor had she expected Camille to reach out to her.

Ada finally found her value. At that moment, Ada, who was walking beside Carter, felt very confident.

She firmly believed that no other woman would be able to threaten her position as the viscountess.

Ada put on a thrilled and victorious smile while holding a bouquet, taking one step at a time as she elegantly made her way toward the banquet hall.

She tilted her head to look at Carter. On this night, he looked handsome and elegant, evoking a cool, refined aesthetic that tugged at Ada's heartstrings.

She was finally able to be Carter's wife —a dream she had since long ago.

Initially, she had thought that Shirley would emerge victorious, but it appeared that no one would be able to pose any threat to her status now.

Ada indulged in her thoughts, but she could hear the guests' exclamations around them.

It turns out that Carter's marrying Ada.

This is rather surprising. No wonder the bride's name was not mentioned on the invitation card.

"Didn't Camille say that no matter what happened, she would never let Ada marry into the Gray family?

It  seems that Ada has a few tricks up her sleeves."""

Hearing the gossip made Ada feel utterly dissatisfied.

No wonder there was not even a notice board at the entrance. It turned out that the Gray family did not even publicly announce that she was Carter's bride.

Ada was no fool. She knew that all these things reflected Carter's unwillingness in marrying her, but she also knew that she could not voice any of her dissatisfactions.

Currently, her status was a top priority, and she could not be bothered with anything else.

The thought ameliorated Ada's feelings.

She wanted to have a word or two to Carter, but coincidentally, his underling came to his side and whispered in his ear.

Carter listened calmly. His face betrayed no emotion, but his gaze was scanning the entire banquet hall.

Ada noticed Carter's gaze and started observing the banquet hall. However, there were way too many guests, and she had no idea who Carter was looking for. She did not pick up anything unusual.

Ada felt curious and she heard Carter, in a soft but commanding voice, said, "Before the wedding ceremony is over, don't let anyone out of this banquet hall."

Ada was not stupid, and once she heard it, she deduced that Carter had been scanning the hall for a specific person.

'But who could he be looking for?'

Ada's gaze swept across the entire banquet hall again, but she still could not make out anyone who would be worth paying attention to.

She thought for a moment and decided to pry a few hints from Carter. She then put on the sweetest smile she had and turned around to look at him.

Carter, are you looking for someone?

An important senior has shown up. I must go and properly greet him.

Ada's expression changed subtly. "Carter, but the wedding ceremony is about to start..."

Can't you handle such a trivial matter? How are you going to take care of the entire family in the future?

Carter's questioning uplifted Ada's mood, banishing her depressed feelings and cheering her up.

'That's practically acknowledging her as the female head of the house, isn't it?'

In that case, please attend to your business, Carter. I'll handle the guests, Ada said happily, though she was barely finished speaking when Carter walked  briskly  toward  a certain direction...

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1807

Cathy and Shirley sat in an unnoticeable position  at a corner, but, at that moment, they saw Carter seemingly making his way toward them.

Cathy looked at Shirley. Despite the latter wearing a mask, Cathy could still easily make out the uneasiness and anxiety in Shirley's eyes.

Shirley felt perturbed because of her love for Carter.

If it was not for love, she would have faced him carefreely.

However, in reality, she could not let go of her feelings. She was deeply in love with him, and that had led her to this day.

Naturally, Shirley saw Carter walking toward her. Indeed, she felt very nervous and her palms started to drench in sweat.

She dared not face Carter, but her gaze, against her volition, was attracted to him.

It seemed Carter had noticed it, and his gaze also looked toward Shirley.

As Shirley started to feel anxious and thought that Carter was about to look at her, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt, and he respectfully greeted an elderly.

Unsure whether it was disappointment or relief, Shirley could no longer describe her current feelings. She only knew as if her heart had fallen into a deep abyss.

She was afraid that he would see her current appearance, but when she was unable to catch his attention, she felt left out.

“Do you still want to sit here?” Cathy asked softly, thinking that Shirley was probably not in a good mood now.

Shirley lowered her eyes and said softly, “I want to stay here a little longer. If you're feeling bored, you may step outside and wait for me.”

“I've promised Adam to keep an eye on you. In that case, let's wait till the wedding ceremony is over, then we will head back.”

“Alright, ” Shirley promised, no longer passionately staring at Carter.

Once Carter was done greeting the elderly, he then elegantly walked past Shirley.

His elegant posture made him look prestigious.

From the corner of her eye, Shirley looked at Carter's back as he walked further away. Shortly after that, her phone vibrated.

Her contact number was added later, and she was very familiar with the number that was displayed on the screen.

It was a message from Carter, and there was only one simple sentence, 'I know you're here, Shirley. This wedding was supposed to be yours.'

Reading that text made Shirley's eyes drenched.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or fake, Carter's intention had been fulfilled.

He wanted her to feel unhappy.

Currently, not only she felt unhappy, she also found it unbearable.

It was also at that moment, the emcee announced the commencement of Carter and Ada's wedding.

All the guests went forth to surround them and expressed their blessings, only Cathy and Shirley remained at the unnoticeable corner, looking at the scene on the stage.

However, Shirley could no longer persist. Not long after the ceremony had started, Shirley could not bring herself to watch. “I want to head to the washroom.”

As she requested, her eyes were lowered, and her face was pale.

Cathy helped Shirley back into the wheelchair, then pushed Shirley to the washroom.

Ada, who was on the stage, was happily enjoying the envious eyes that were fixed upon her.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw two figures exiting from the side exit.

Her gaze landed on Shirley for a few seconds, then Ada put on a charming smile and went along with the emcee as the ceremony commenced. However, she was still being mindful and looked at the side exit once more.

In the washroom.

After Shirley had entered, she had Cathy wait for her outside.

Cathy, thinking that perhaps Shirley needed some space to calm down, did not interrupt her and waited for her outside.

After Cathy had gone out, Shirley no longer acted tough.

She placed both her hands before the sink and kept vomiting.

The thought of the scene of Carter and Ada holding hands and receiving the blessing of their relatives and friends made Shirley vomited even more aggressively.

She felt that she might have some mental illness.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1808

She could not bring herself to recall the scene of Carter being with another woman, as though the mere thought of it could upset her stomach.

She wanted to vomit but nothing came out.

To prevent Cathy from suspecting anything, Shirley quickly recomposed herself and steered her wheelchair out of the washroom.

Cathy, upon seeing Shirley's still-pale look, suggested, "Why not we head back home?"

It's still too early. I want to head out for some fresh air. Shirley looked at the balcony at the end of the corridor. "I can go over by myself."

Knowing Shirley was not in a good mood, Cathy did not force it on her.

She thought of heading over to have a look at Shirley just as she received a call.

It was a call from Adam. Cathy figured that Adam called because was worried about them. Thus, Cathy answered the call without hesitation.

Shirley came onto the balcony by herself.

It was now late at night, and the sky was full of stars.

To her, however, it was as if the brightest star could not shine through the darkness within her.

Hmph.

Shirley suddenly chuckled softly, and warm tears streamed out her eyes.

Shirley, what foolishness have you been up to all these years?

She questioned herself and found it hilarious.

For the sake of a man who doesn't love you, what have you done?

Yeah, what did you do for a man who doesn't love you, Shirley? Up to this point, do you still not understand it?

A woman's scornful voice suddenly came from behind.

Shirley hurriedly recomposed herself.

She turned the wheelchair around and saw Ada, who was in an elegant gown, walking toward her with a victorious smile.

She had not expected Ada to be able to make out her current appearance. Shirley did not know what to do?

She did not wish for Ada to see her in such an embarrassing state.

You got the wrong person, Shirley denied, "I'm not the person who you're looking for."

As she spoke, Shirley intended to leave, but Ada walked up and stood before her.

How could I get the wrong person? While we're not close with each other, we still faced each other quite several times.

Ada's red lips curled into a smirk, and the smile on her face grew wider.

"Although you had been adopted by the Gray family back then, Carter had always treated you like a sister. Today, you're able to attend Carter's wedding, which makes me, as Carter's wife, feel happy. However, what's wrong with you, sister?

Why are you wearing a mask and in a wheelchair?"

Ada deliberately put on a curious look, then revealed a worried and puzzled expression.

You don't have the flu, do you? Please don't pass it on to our guests.

Hearing what Ada had to say, it was obvious that Ada was provoking Shirley and scorning her.

Shirley clenched onto her fists and tried so hard to control her emotions.

Rest assured, I don't have the flu. It's just a coincidence that I was passing by here with a friend. We didn't know that you and Carter are getting married, Shirley denied and lifted her eyes to look at the corridor far away.

She was looking for Cathy's figure, but she had no idea where Cathy went.

Shirley quickly took out her phone, attempting to contact Cathy.

However, Ada suddenly stretched out her hand and took her phone away; a sinister smile appeared on her face.

Since you don't have the flu, then why bother wearing a mask? Let me have a look at what's going on with your face.

Don't touch me!

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1809

Agitated, Shirley rejected Ada whose hand reached over to Shirley's mask.

Shirley's movement was swift as she caught hold of Ada's right hand, but Ada quickly extended her left hand and forcibly snatched away Shirley's mask.

Ada immediately saw the scar on Shirley's face, and Ada's eyes sparkled. She smiled evilly as she enjoyed her masterpiece.

She knew that Shirley, even now, was still unaware that it was Ada who disfigured her.

Oh my, what's wrong with your face? Why is there a slash mark on it? Is it because you've offended so many people that someone came for payback, Shirley?

Ada asked despite knowing the answer, and even put on an unusually astonished look.

Upon hearing Ada's mockery, Shirley was suddenly unusually calm.

She stared at Ada, and the agitated feelings she was having earlier no longer existed.

Ada thought that Shirley was not speaking because Shirley was starting to think lowly of herself, and this eased Ada.

Shirley, you should have known earlier that a woman like you couldn't possibly be a part of the Gray family. Did you think that staying in the Gray family for a few years would make you a daughter-i n-law to the family as well? Dream on!

Ada rolled her eyes at Shirley.

Just look at you right now. Disfigured and paralyzed. You're no different  from a stray dog. With your current looks, do you still think Carter would marry you? Dream on!

Shirley, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, you'd only humiliate yourself if Carter sees you in this ugly state!

As Ada spoke, she threw the mask in her hand back to Shirley.

As she threw it, Shirley suddenly lifted her hand and grasped onto Ada's wrist.

Ada glared at Shirley, feeling unsatisfied. "What's wrong? Do you want to hit me? Do you even have the guts to hit me? I'm Carter's wife now. I'm a viscountess, Shirley. If you dare lay a finger on me,

I'm afraid the other half of your face will be disfigured too!"

Ada fiercely and ruthlessly warned her.

Cathy, who had finished her call, saw the scene from afar and quickly ran over to Shirley's side.

She had no idea what was happening, but she could feel the obvious heat between them.

She wanted to advise Shirley to release her hand first, but she saw Shirley suddenly clenching onto Ada's wrist, and Shirley's gaze became sterner.

It was you then, Shirley said, staring at Ada.

Ada was stunned, and her eyes darted because of guilt.

"Shirley,  I'm warning you. Let go of me this instant!

Hmph. I'm truly a fool for not recognizing  you back then."" Shirley smiled coldly and forcefully yanked Ada before her. ""Quit the act. The scar on the back of your hand is the best evidence to prove that you were the one who disfigured me back then!"

“….” Ada, not expecting Shirley to see through her merely because of the scar on the back of her hand, was dumbfounded.

Cathy too was astonished. "You did this to her face, and you had even deliberately blamed it on Eveline. You're just too cruel."

What nonsense are you blabbering about?! Of course, Ada insisted on denying it. She summoned all her strength; only then did she break free from Shirley's grip. Ada then ruthlessly threatened Shirley, "Shirley, I have nothing to do with your disfigured face. You ending up paralyzed has nothing to do with me either. You'd best watch your mouth! "

What's wrong? Are you  scared  that  I'll tell Carter? Shirley smiled softly. "Rest assured, I won't  tell him, but you remember my occupation, right? Since you have the guts to disfigure me, you better be careful in the coming days. I'll use scientific  means t o slowly rot your face each day. In the end, you'd be an ugly lady who no one dares to look at."

“…” When Ada heard this, her face went pale, and her eyes flashed with terror and insecurity.

She firmly believed that Shirley could do it.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 1810

What's wrong? Scared? Shirley raised her brows. " I never expected it to be you."

. Stop muttering gibberish, Shirley! I've already told you that I have nothing to do with you being disfigured and paralyzed. Don't ever let me see you again!

Ada shouted at Shirley, then lifted her gown and anxiously ran back to the hall.

Shirley calmly looked at Ada's figure as Ada fled. Shirley merely clenched her fists.

You're right, someone else harmed me. Shirley seemed to mutter to herself, then chuckled bitterly. "I never would have thought that it would be her..."

"Now that you know you had misunderstood Eveline, are you still unwilling to reveal the formula to the anti-toxoid test reagent?” Cathy seized the opportunity to bring this up.

Shirley remained smiling. It seems that you're quite concerned for Eveline, but unfortunately,"

even if I do give you guys the formula to the anti-

toxoid test reagent, you guys would still not be able to reproduce it."

Couldn't you make it yourself then? Don't you think that whatever you're doing right now is causing harm to others?

Cathy's words hushed Shirley for a moment, but before long, she laughed again.

You should worry less. Eveline won't die.

You're beyond saving, Cathy barked, "I'd say you haven't come to your senses. In that case, remain here and get a breather! "

After speaking, Cathy spun around angrily.

Shirley did not speak, merely watching Cathy walking onward angrily.

However, she knew that Cathy would not go far.

In everyone's eyes, she was indeed a cruel and unscrupulous woman, yet no one knew that she was kind too.

Nevertheless, she could not blame how others viewed her because all this while, she was as wicked as everyone thought.

Indeed, to begin with, she was not a nice person. Shirley laughed mockingly at herself, then lifted her hand to touch on the uneven scar on her face.

At that moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure that terrified her.

She quickly wore the mask but noticed she was currently in a wheelchair. 'I must not let Carter see me with my legs paralyzed!'

However, Cathy was not beside her then.

Perturbed, Shirley saw the seats in a corner and immediately came to a decision.

She had to move onto the sofa! This way, she could hide the truth about her paralysis.

Her legs had lost their senses, though, and she could not easily move onto the sofa.

However, in her peripheral vision, she saw that Carter was about to turn around to walk toward her. Shirley lifted both her hands to hoist herself up, using the strength of her upper body to fall onto the sofa.

Carter was indeed looking for Shirley. He had received the news about someone with a special invitation card arriving at the wedding scene.

As he was searching now, he heard a sudden muffled sound coming from the balcony.

Carter turned around, lifted his deep eyes, and surveyed.

Beneath the faint lighting, he could vaguely make out a familiar outline on the balcony.

Carter squinted his eyes that was giving off a dangerous vibe, then quickly made his way behind the woman sitting on the balcony sofa.
