Ch. 1961..1970
Chapter 1961
With puzzled eyes, Madeline looked at the man who spoke.
Was this man pitying her?
Why was he pitying her and sympathizing with her?
Seeing the confusion in Madeline’s clear and beautiful pupils, Jim answered leisurely.
“You are just a tool that Carter is using to achieve his goals. He doesn’t have any real feelings for you, yet you want to marry this man wholeheartedly.
Isn’t that pitiful?”
After listening to Jim’s words, Madeline smiled slightly. “I think that you’re worrying too much and that you’re feeling pity for the wrong person. No one knows who the pitiful person is until the last moment.”
Upon hearing this, Jim was dumbfounded because he did not understand.
On Madeline’s exquisite and picturesque face, Jim saw a bright and moving smile, a smile that subtly hinted at a deep meaning.
He thought it interesting, yet he could not understand what Madeline meant. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Madeline was about to leave, Jim wanted to go up and ask for further clarification. However, Carter appeared at this moment.
“Why, Jim, are you so free to be chatting with my bride here?”
Carter’s tone was calm, and he sounded friendly, but Jim felt an unpleasant aura from him.
Jim put his hands back in his pockets, shrugged indifferently, and showed a yuppy smile.
“Yes, it’s the first time I have seen such a beautiful bride. Of course, ordinary people like me couldn’t help but want to get a closer look at her.”
Jim spoke frivolously and playfully.
After hearing that, an indignant look appeared on Carter’s seemingly gentle and handsome face.
“Eveline will be your cousin-in-law soon. So, you better be more respectful, Jim.”
“Respectful?” Jim asked and then smiled. “Do you even know what respect is, Carter?”
Carter’s eyes narrowed coldly. “Jim, what nonsense are you trying to say?”
“Whether I’m speaking nonsense or not is arbitrary,” Jim said fearlessly. His cynical face was now a little more serious as he met Carter’s deep gaze.
“Carter, don’t think I don’t know what you did behind your back to obtain the royal succession. ”
Jim wanted to expose Carter, but Carter just laughed.
“I don’t know where you heard the rumors. Everyone in the Louis family is qualified to fight for the royal succession.”
Carter said calmly and then pointed his finger at “Jim, I know that you and your parents want to get the right to rule. You can fight with me openly and honestly. You don’t need to deliberately discredit me in front of my bride.”
When he was done with his righteous speech, Carter turned to the side and gently smiled at Madeline.
“Eveline, I’ll bring you to the lounge first.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded cooperatively and followed Carter toward the lounge.
When she turned around, Madeline’s gaze involuntarily took another look at where Jeremy was.
She saw Jeremy sitting on the same spot. Meanwhile, the maid smiled as she brought a small cake and a glass of champagne to Jeremy.
The maid’s intentions for Jeremy were obvious. The hall of the Royal Palace.
Jeremy sat in the chair, not letting other things distract him. He was looking forward to seeing Madeline.
However, before Madeline appeared, the maid kept appearing before him.
“Mr. Whitman, I know you were just deliberately trying to get rid of me by saying that just now. In any case, I will not leave. Even if you really hate me, I will continue to take care of you until your injury is healed.”
Chapter 1962
The maid winked, showing her determination. She looked very sincere too.
After the maid had said that, Jeremy stared insipidly at the maid.
For the past two days, the maid had been taking care of him very kindly and enthusiastically.
He had indeed been using the maid’s goodwill toward him to get some clues.
After thinking about it, Jeremy’s expression was not as cold as before. He then parted his lips lazily and spoke.
“I don’t need your care. You should help other people. No matter how much time and effort you spend on me, it’s useless. I already have someone I love.”
Although his tone was much kinder now, Jeremy still decisively and plainly refused the maid.
The maid’s face once again looked sad and lost. She then sighed deeply.
“Since you have said this over and over again, I shouldn’t continue to think that you have feelings for me. But my current job is to take care of you, so I hope that you’ll stop rejecting me. If I don’t do my job well, Mr. Carter will punish me.”
It was not beyond the realm of possibility for Carter to cause trouble for this maid just because she was taking care of Jeremy.
Jeremy thought for a moment but did not say anything.
“Mr. Whitman, if you don’t want to drink, then have some snacks. You haven’t eaten much since the morning.”
The maid offered the cake with a friendly smile. Seeing that Jeremy did not accept it, she smiled again.
“If you don’t like cakes, I can get you some other snacks.”
As the maid spoke, she turned around to get Jeremy some food.
“You don’t have to trouble yourself, ” Jeremy stopped her, and then he reached out to take the cake in the maid’s hand and took small bites of it.
A happy smile appeared on the maid’s face when Jeremy no longer rejected her kindness.
Time passed quietly as Carter accompanied
Madeline in the lounge. Carter subconsciously glanced at the time on his watch and then got up.
“Carter, where are you going?” Madeline asked curiously.
Carter turned to the side and smiled at Madeline. “ I’m going to the bathroom. When I come back, it’ll be almost time for you to shine.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon hearing that, Madeline nodded and then showed a well-behaved and obedient smile.
Carter did not stay any longer and quickly left the lounge.
As soon as he walked out of the lounge, the entourage who had been waiting at the door leaned close to his ear and whispered.
After that, a triumphant smile appeared on Carter’s lips.
Carter started walking forward and then stopped when he reached the door of a certain room.
The entourage who was following behind him understood what he meant and immediately opened the door.
Once the door was opened, the people inside heard the sound and ran out hurriedly.
Displeased, Carter glanced at the woman in front of him and raised an eyebrow.
“Why are you still standing here? I’ve played the matchmaker for you. What’s wrong? Are you changing your mind?”
“No, I’m not…”
The maid shook her head repeatedly and then turned her head and glanced in the direction of the bed; her cheeks gradually became flushed with shyness.
Carter gradually understood what the maid meant, and he glanced at the entourage on the side.
“Stay and help her.”
The entourage’s jaw dropped, but he did not have the courage to refuse, so he nodded.
“Don’t let me down,” Carter finally said before turning around with his lips curled and closing the door.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1963
After the door closed, the smile on Carter’s lips widened.
‘Jeremy, you’ve disrupted my life and killed my child. I will eventually make your life a living hell.’
Madeline waited in the lounge, and the stylist carefully helped her arrange her hairstyle and wedding dress.
She glanced at the digital clock on the wall and knew that the ceremony was starting soon, but Carter had not returned yet.
Creak.
The door to the lounge opened at this moment, and Carter walked in with a warm smile on his face.
The stylist smiled respectfully at Carter and then conscientiously left the lounge.
“Carter, you’re back.” Madeline smiled, stood up, and walked toward him.
With a gentle expression, Carter looked at Madeline. “It’s almost time, Eveline. I’ll bring you downstairs.”
“I just had a glimpse earlier. There are a lot of guests downstairs. Are they all relatives and friends of your family?” Madeline asked curiously.
Carter nodded. “They are all relatives who are related to the royal family. Don’t be nervous. I’ll stay with you.”
Carter calmed Madeline with a soft voice, fearing that Madeline would be too uneasy and nervous, and then he urged solemnly.
“Before the wedding ceremony, I will take you to meet someone. He is the oldest and most authoritative elder with the highest status in the Louis family. Later, he may have a few questions to ask you. So, Eveline, answer carefully.”
Madeline raised her clear and beautiful eyes. “ Carter, what questions are you referring to? If I can’t answer them properly, will it affect you?”
Carter licked his lips and smiled. “No, you’ll be fine.”
He answered confidently, but of course, he was confident because he had hypnotized Madeline, not to mention that he had completely engraved the things that he needed to exhort Madeline in her head.
When someone would ask her about the relevant matters later, she would tell them everything perfectly. There would not be any mistakes. Carter was very confident about this.
After hearing this, Madeline nodded very obediently.
Carter lowered his eyes and glanced at Madeline. In terms of appearance, Madeline would have definitely brought enough pride to him.
No one would dispute Madeline’s appearance.
All this while, the first requirement for their family to select sons-in-law and daughters-in-law was good looks and appearance for the sake of the genes of the next generation.
Evidently, once Madeline appeared in the eyes of everyone, no one would have any opinions on her appearance.
However, Carter’s heart was still somewhat conflicted.
As he looked at Madeline, his heart would think of Shirley.
Before Shirley’s accident, her appearance and looks were impeccably beautiful.
Shirley and Madeline were beautiful in their own way, but they were both equally breathtaking.
Although Shirley’s family had fallen from grace, her parents were once medical scientists of great distinction.
Even if she had no such honor and family background, he could still let her walk by his side, but now, she was unwilling.
As Carter thought about these things, they had arrived at the hall on the first floor without him realizing it.
The guests in the room, whose eyes were filled with blessings, watched Carter and Madeline appear. Jim and his parents were also among the crowd.
From the corner of Madeline’s eyes, she could see that Jim’s mother was looking at her and Carter with disdain and dissatisfaction while Jim’s face had an intrigued smile. Madeline held the bouquet and silently followed Carter as they walked onward.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1964
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1964
She looked for Jeremy in the crowd, but she did not see him. She saw Shirley instead.
Shirley was silently seated in the wheelchair in a corner with a smile on her face.
Madeline met her gaze and smiled in a tacit mutual understanding.
“So that’s the socialite of the rich family in Glendale?”
“The Grays had already looked her up. Eveline is indeed the socialite of the rich family in Glendale. Her family background is extraordinary.”
“No wonder. No wonder Carter chose her. It’s indeed helpful for his fight over the right to rule. ”
Madeline could hear all the whispers around her. Even though they were soft, Madeline had good hearing.
Nevertheless, she pretended she did not hear anything and merely smiled.
Soon after, she saw an old man sitting at the front of the Royal Palace.
The man was sitting upright and still. Despite his old age, he emitted a very strong aura.
Madeline could tell that the old man was the person Carter mentioned earlier, but his clothes looked very simple and plain. Even though the old man’s expression was slightly serious, he had a very kind look in his eyes.
Carter quickly introduced them with a gentle smile, “Eveline, this is the most respected elder of our Louis family, the current ruler of St. Piaf, and the beloved monarch of St. Piaf.”
After listening to Carter’s introduction, Madeline greeted with a polite smile, “Hello, the noblest monarch of St. Piaf, I am Eveline.”
The old man nodded with a smile. “You can call me grandpa just like Carter does.”
‘Grandpa?
‘So, this is Carter’s grandpa?’
Madeline guessed inwardly but speculated that it was indeed possible.
This way, Carter and Jim would have the right to fight for the throne.
Madeline thought silently but did not greet him as grandpa. She just stood there and did not speak further.
Old Master Gray’s identity was extraordinary, but his gestures showed that he was a very amiable person.
“Girls from wealthy families are indeed
extraordinary”, the Old Master praised and then
slowly stood up. He looked at Carter again and added, “Carter has such good taste.”
Carter smiled modestly when he heard that. “It was because of your blessing that I could meet a beautiful and perfect girl like Eveline, grandpa.”
“Haha!’ The Old Master laughed out loud. “How could I have given you such a blessing? This is your own good fortune.”
“Yeah, this is indeed your own feat, Carter.” Jim’s voice came from one side. His tone was laced with a hidden meaning.
Carter, who seemed to have expected that Jim would come to cause trouble, was not flustered, and he put a smile on his face instead.
“Jimmy, you’re even more skilled than I am. I believe you’ll find an even more exceptional partner in the future.”
“Heh. No matter how skilled our Jimmy is, he’ll never be able to compare with you, Carter. You can get married to the same woman twice, and this woman is even married, ” Jim’s mother said suddenly, her tone sharp.
Furthermore, she had deliberately increased her voice, shocking the guests in the room.
Carter frowned and looked over in dissatisfaction, and then he saw Jim’s mother walking up to the Old Master fearlessly.
At this moment, the expression on the Old Master’s face changed subtly.
“What do you mean? Did you say that Carter had married Miss Montgomery before?”
“No, I didn’t mean that. ” Jim’s mother curled her red lips and smiled, feeling pleased with herself. “I mean, this woman has a husband.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1965
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1965
Jim’s mother exposed Carter with no regard for his image. She had no intention of giving Carter any chance.
As she said that, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Before deciding to have a wedding with Madeline, Carter had already made preparations a long time ago. He had asked those who knew that he and Madeline almost had a wedding to remain silent.
However, what he had not expected was that Jim’s mother would expose such information at such a time.
Nonetheless, this was also predictable.
Jim wanted to fight for the royal sucession, and of course, his mother wanted to help him.
Just like how Camille helped Carter.
Old Master Gray’s expression gradually looked displeased, and then he looked at Carter and spoke with a much calmer tone.
“Carter, this is a big deal. Is your aunt telling the truth?”
“Dad, how would I dare to speak nonsense during such an occasion?” Jim’s mother was confident; she had her card up her sleeve.
However, Carter did not panic at all. He smiled softly and parted his lips slowly.
“Aunty, if you want to say this, then yes, Eveline is indeed a married woman because a few months ago, Eveline and I had already signed the marriage certificate. After that, for some reason, Eveline and I never held the wedding.”
Carter spoke with a faint smile, looking slyly at Jim’s mother.
“Aunty, I know you really want Jimmy to win the right to rule. That’s why you want to cause trouble at my wedding with Eveline so that grandpa will change his impression of me. But do you think grandpa will believe your one -sided statement so easily?”
Carter said and turned to face the guests again.
“I believe everyone remembers receiving my wedding invitation a few months ago. I was about to marry Eveline but because of the appearance of a man who claimed to be Eveline’s husband, the wedding was temporarily terminated. In fact, that man was just a delirious, mentally ill patient, and these are well documented.”
After he was finished speaking, he did not forget to look at Jim’s mother with a serious face.
“Aunty, I know you really want to fight for Jimmy’s right to rule, but if you use this method to slander me, it will only ruin grandpa’s image of Jimmy.”
Upon hearing Carter’s words, Jim’s mother’s face fell, and she snapped back in anger.
“Carter, how dare you say that I’m slandering you! What I said is all true! What mentally ill patient? That man is Eveline’s real husband! ”
Jim’s mother spoke with her arms folded and sneered coldly. “Hmph. Carter, do you think we don’t know? You married Eveline just to use her background to increase your chances in the fight for the right to rule. You are using her!
“Dad, Carter is a very devious man. If you were to give St. Piaf to him, you wouldn’t be able to imagine what St. Piaf will become! ”
Old Master Gray hated it when people involved politics in his family matters. At this moment, his expression looked displeased.
Carter knew what the Old Master was thinking, and he smiled magnanimously.
“Grandpa, this is all a misunderstanding. How can I marry a married woman? Besides, Eveline isn’t an ordinary person. How would she marry me if she knows she has a husband? This is bigamy. Do you think that this is possible?”
Carter lifted his eyes to look at Madeline who was silent the entire time. He then slowly parted his lips.
“Eveline, why don’t you tell everyone in case everyone misunderstands you.”
Madeline blinked her beautiful eyes. When she was about to speak, she heard Jim chuckling next to her.
“Ask her? Heh.” Jim’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Everyone knows that the noble viscount has an extraordinary skill of hypnosis. Eveline has been hypnotized by you long before this.”
Carter, instead of being angry when he was exposed, smiled. “This is a joke. How can Eveline be hypnotized?”
He looked at Madelina after he had said that with a serious face.
“Eveline, tell everyone. Did I hypnotize you?”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1966
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1966
Madeline looked at Carter and then looked at the people around her who were waiting for her answer. Suddenly, she smiled.
“Of course, I’m not hypnotized.” Madeline’s answer was simple, clear, and very certain.
Carter was very satisfied with this answer. However, in his heart, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Madeline’s answer was too certain.
She did not look like a hypnotized person at all.
At one side, Jim’s mother laughed again. “This is such a joke. You’re asking a hypnotized person to answer this kind of question. Would she know whether she’s hypnotized?”
“You’re right. A hypnotized person certainly wouldn’t know whether they’ve been hypnotized because they wouldn’t have their own thoughts.
But madam, I, Eveline Montgomery, am not hypnotized.”
Madeline’s tone was confident. As she said that, she turned her eyes to Carter. The look in his eyes started to change.
“Because my hypnosis has been broken.”
This was the answer Carter did not want to hear. It was also the answer that shocked him.
How was that possible?
Madeline’s hypnosis was broken again?
Were all his plans going to be interrupted at the most critical time again just like last time?
No.
Carter would not allow that to happen.
Upon noticing that the Old Master’s expression had sunk, Carter quickly spoke.
“Eveline, what are you talking about?”
Madeline curled her charming pink lips. “I’m speaking the human language. What’s wrong, Mr. Gray? Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“…” Carter was alarmed by Madeline’s answer.
Jim, Jim’s mother, and the guests around them were all looking at each other. They did not know what was going on, but based on Madeline’s gestures and expression, they could guess what was going on.
Among the crowd, Camille started to get fretful. However, Carter was still doing his best to remain calm.
“Eveline, is something upsetting you? Are you unhappy that I had neglected you because I was busy with the wedding preparations? You dummy, don’t throw a tantrum at this moment. You have to remember that you’re pregnant. This isn’t good for the baby.”
“Pregnant?” Madeline lifted her proud and beautiful eyebrows. “I was only pregnant with the children of one man in my whole life. He is my one and only husband and lover, Jeremy Whitman.”
“Jeremy Whitman?”
“I’ve heard this name before.”
“She’s the wife of the number one young master of Glendale!”
Madeline heard the exclamations around her. She looked at Carter’s expression that was going to collapse at any second, and the smile on her face was even wider now.
“Carter, does it feel good to fool the hearts of others? Now, not only am I going to tell everyone, but I’m also going to tell you that anyone who fools
people’s hearts is despicable. In the end, they will, in turn, get fooled and end up like this.”
”Carter Gray, you lose!”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1967
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1967
“Carter Gray, you lose.”
Those four words gently drifted into Carter’s ears. Madeline’s voice, so pleasant to the ear, sounded extremely piercing to Carter right now.
An icy glint flashed across his cold eyes, but Madeline looked into his eyes fearlessly.
“Carter, you didn’t expect this, did you? My hypnosis was broken again. Everyone says that you’ re the master of hypnosis and that you have amazing hypnosis skills, but this shows that you’re not that great after all.”
Madeline parted her lips and continued with a slightly sarcastic tone.
“But perhaps it was because you had kept fighting for the royal succession, so your skills have deteriorated.”
Madeline’s words made Carter furrow his brows slowly.
At that moment, he did not know how to retort Madeline, yet he did not allow himself to stay silent for long.
A few seconds later, Carter chuckled lowly.
“Eveline, are you still mad at me? There are so many guests, and grandpa is also here. Stop making a fuss.”
Carter was speaking in a pleasant tone, furiously hinting at Madeline to take back what she said.
However, Madeline would not care about Carter’s hints of course.
“Carter, don’t always think about deceiving others. No matter how smart and skillful you are, it would be tragic for the people of St. Piaf to have someone like you as their next monarch.”
Madeline hit right where it hurt and did not hold back at all.
Carter stayed silent. He did not speak any further.
He could hear whispers all around him, and the fire in his heart intensified whenever the words crawled into his ear.
At this moment, the happiest person right now was Jim’s mother.
This situation was unfavorable to Carter, but this meant that it was great for Jim. Of course, as Jim’s mother, she was ecstatic.
Old Master Gray had not spoken for a long time. Presently, he looked at Carter who had been staying silent, and the Old Master finally spoke.
“Carter, you should answer me honestly in front of so many friends and family.” The old master’s face looked solemn, wisdom glinting in his aged eyes.
“Did you marry Miss Eveline Montgomery to use her identity and background to get the right to rule?”
Old Master Gray’s question was straight to the point. The atmosphere and air around them seemed to freeze in that instant. Everyone was waiting for Carter’s answer.
Camille was standing at one side. She looked worried and anxious.
Carter lowered his eyes and denied directly. “No, I would never use this kind of despicable means to reach my goals.”
“No, you did.”
This statement came from the crowd the next second after Carter denied that.
Carter’s pupils enlarged, seemingly in shock. In disbelief, he lifted his stunned but handsome face and followed everyone’s gaze toward the source of the voice.
He had not heard it wrongly because the person in front of him was none other than Shirley.
Shirley, seated in her wheelchair, moved the wheelchair skillfully and calmly toward Carter.
Old Master Gray and the Grays were not unfamiliar with Shirley. However, her current disfigured face and disability shocked everyone.
“Shirley?” Jim’s mother was the first one to exclaim in astonishment. “ It really is her. It’s been so many years, but how did she become like this?” exclaimed another shocked rich woman when she saw Shirley.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1968
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1968
Aside from the exclamations from the people who knew Shirley, the people who did not know Shirley also looked shocked.
“Who is that woman?”
“It seems that she’s here to expose Carter.”
“Shh. Don’t talk nonsense. That’s the viscount of St. Piaf. Before we find out what’s going on, don’ t label people randomly lest we get into trouble.”
When everyone heard this, the atmosphere in the hall of the Royal Palace became abnormally silent.
Old Master Gray had a very deep impression of Shirley as well. He knew that Carter and Shirley had almost gotten married a few years ago, but after that, Shirley left the family and left St. Piaf for some reason.
The Old Master had not expected Shirley to look like this when he saw her again.
“Old Master Gray, I believe you’re not unfamiliar with me, right?” Shirley looked into the Old Master’s eyes fearlessly. “If you still remember me, I think you’ll believe what I have to say, isn’t right?”
Old Master Gray pressed his lips together and said,“
Go on.”
Shirley looked at everyone around her when she heard that. In the end, her eyes landed on Carter, whose face was turning as gray as ash.
“Miss Eveline Montgomery was telling the truth. This whole time, Carter only wants to use her identity and background to reach his goals. He doesn’t have any romantic feelings toward Eveline.”
Shirley said and lifted her eyebrows.
“Carter, have you forgotten? You told me that I’m the person you love. You told me that you’re only marrying Eveline to get the right to rule. You also said that once you have gotten the right to rule, you’ll have clear boundaries with Eveline, and you’ll make me your woman and make up for the regretful times when we could not be together.
Isn’t that right?”
Carter was speechless as he looked at Shirley who had a smile that reached her eyes.
She was doing this on purpose.
She had deliberately come here to say that and deliberately ruined his plan.
The fire in Carter’s heart further intensified. His fingers also clenched tighter.
However, he could not express his anger.
He was silent because he admitted that he had said those things before.
Looking at Shirley’s firm gaze, Carter knew that she was serious and that she came prepared.
When Old Master Gray saw that Carter had no retort, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Carter’s silence already explained it all.
The smile on Shirley’s face widened. “Carter, I’ ll take your silence as admission.”
She smiled and said.
“Don’t you think that this is strange? Who is Carter Gray? You were the top student of St. Piaf Academy. You’re a master in the field of hypnosis and an experienced professor. You’ve hypnotized Eveline with your unique hypnosis and controlled her thoughts, but why is she exposing your real self right now?”
Carter was indeed curious when he heard that. He was suspicious as well.
A moment earlier, Madeline had been listening to him, but in the next second, not only did Madeline go against his wishes, she even exposed his entire plan in front of everyone.
Carter could not keep his cool anymore. He wanted to know why. However, before he could ask, he got Shirley’s answer in the next second.
“Because before today, the hypnosis you put on Eveline was already been broken.”
“Impossible,” Carter said in denial, and at the same time, this also confirmed that he had hypnotized Madeline.
However, Shirley laughed sarcastically. “ It’s not impossible. I was the one who broke it.”
“… What did you say?”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1969
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1969
Astonished, Carter looked at Shirley who had just said that.
How was that possible?
That could never have happened.
Carter kept on denying this in his heart, but Shirley’s firm gaze told him that this was true.
After Shirley and Carter looked at each other for a while, Shirley averted her gaze coldly and spoke earnestly and unflinchingly to the Old Master.
“Old Master Gray, I am telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can find someone to verify this. With your ability, I believe that nothing will escape from your eyes as long as you want to know something.”
After saying that, Shirley glanced at Carter and mocked him mercilessly.
“I can confidently tell everyone here that Carter Gray has no right to fight for the monarch’s throne in St. Piaf because he’s not worthy.”
“…” Carter could no longer describe how he was feeling right now. The tempest that was his anger was on the verge of exploding.
However, the person in front of him was Shirley. It was Shirley.
In the past, he had been this woman’s priority, and she would speak carefully in his presence. At the present, she desperately wanted to see him fall from grace and even wanted him to die.
Carter was speechless as he merely stared at Shirley.
At this moment, Jim’s mother started to mock Carter. “Dad, did you hear that? Even Shirley is testifying against Carter’s character. Do you want
someone like this to rule over St. Piaf in the future?”
“Grandpa, even if I wanted to fight for the right to rule as well, I would never agree with Carter’s means. If I wanted to fight for it, I would use the right and proper means, not despicable means like this.”
Jim lifted his cold and arrogant eyes and then asked Madeline politely.
“Miss Eveline Montgomery, since this is all fake, then I guess you’re not really pregnant too, is that right?”
Madeline curled her lips into a soft smile. “Of course, aside from my husband, Jeremy Whitman,
I’ve never been intimate with another man in my life.”
Madeline stated the truth and shifted her gaze to look at the dejected Carter.
“Carter has been using me from the start to achieve two of his goals. The first goal is to help him fight for the right to rule, and the other is to seek revenge against my husband.”
“Revenge?”
Everyone felt suspicious and curious when that word landed in their ears.
Many of those present in the room had heard about Jeremy. The Old Master, too, knew about him.
However, why did Carter want to seek revenge against Jeremy? None of them knew the reason behind this.
Carter knew, however, and so did Shirley.
It was for that child who was not fated to be born.
At this moment, the word “dark” was not enough to describe the Old Master’s expression.
When he was about to reproach and question Carter, he heard Carter chuckling coldly and lowly. Everyone began to shift their attention on Carter
when they heard him chuckling.
Carter lifted his eyes and his bottomless eyes which were bursting with anger.
“Carter, ” Camille quickly walked to Carter’s side at this moment and grabbed his arm. It looked as if she wanted to stop something from happening.
“Carter, don’t be impulsive,” Camille advised him. Her expression looked serious and apprehensive.
Perhaps she was worried and scared of the terrifying thing that Carter might do at this moment.
Carter clenched his fists and got out of Camille’s tight grasp. “Carter, don’t… ” Camille tried to stop him again, but it did not seem to work.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1970
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1970
Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and she could also guess what he would do next.
Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but she was not.
“Carter, I know that you’re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today.
Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how I killed my child after developing AXP69.”
Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter.
It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.
He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull him down from his grace. A self- mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then he turned around and left without saying a word.
Carter left just like that.
The people in front of him made way for him accommodatingly.
Without explaining himself or fighting back, he walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.
Shirley turned her wheelchair and looked toward the direction where Carter left. Her heart which was covered in flesh and blood hurt immensely.
She knew Carter could never reach the height he longed for in this life anymore.
His final wish, and the life that he yearned for, ended right there.
However, Shirley did not regret doing this.
When Jim’s mother saw this from one side, she nearly did not hide her smile with her hand.
Carter had failed, and the only person who could get the right to rule was her son!
Madeline, who did not care to stay in the Royal Palace any longer, decided to go look for Jeremy.
She changed into the clothes she had prepared in the lounge. After she opened the door, to her surprise, she saw Shirley waiting for her.
“Did you come here for me?” Madeline asked.
Shirley shook her head, but then she nodded her head and said, “I think we won’t be seeing each other in the future.”
Upon hearing that, a feeling of emptiness suddenly tugged at Madeline’s heart.
“I didn’t expect that there would be a day when we’d talk to each other peacefully. I also didn’t expect that you’d listen to me even when you’re hypnotized.”
When Madeline heard that, she told Shirley the truth. “Actually, I was at a loss after I was hypnotized, that’s why I listened to everything Carter said. But when I went to look for him that day, I just so happen to hear his conversation with his mother in the study. That’s when I realized that they were merely using me.”
Madeline explained but displayed a surprised smile.
“But I’m pretty surprised that you also know hypnosis.”
“Even though I didn’t learn it formally, after following him for all those years, I’ve learned it from watching him numerous times.”
“I see, ” Madeline lamented.
Shirley pursed her lips into a smile. “Luckily, you found the pocket watch Carter used to hypnotize you back then. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to succeed.”
As she spoke, the smile on her face looked more and more relieved.
“Eveline, I’m so sorry, for you and Jeremy. But I sincerely hope that our grudges end here. I believe the poison in Jeremy’s body will be cleared soon. I hope you two can spend the rest of your life together without worry.”
After Shirley had blessed Madeline, she turned her wheelchair around decisively and left before Madeline could speak.
Madeline wanted to catch up to Shirley to say something to her, but coincidentally, a familiar- looking figure appeared before her eyes.
