Upon hearing what Carter said, Jeremy’s sharp brows suddenly raised.
He looked at the cutie in Fabian’s arms at the moment.
When they saw Jeremy’s gaze and action, Madeline and Fabian simultaneously felt that something must be wrong.
Amidst their puzzlement, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to hang up.
Madeline walked to Jeremy’s side. “Jeremy, who was that? Did something happen?“
Jeremy lowered his eyes and caught sight of the worry in Madeline’s eyes. At that moment, he hesitated whether he should tell her or not.
Madeline also noticed Jeremy’s peculiar behavior, so she asked, “Jeremy, what’s the matter?“
Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry too much, but he figured this was how so many misunderstandings between them were caused in the past, so this time, he no longer chose to hide it.
“The pink spots on Lily’s body aren’t from skin diseases. They’re manmade, “ Jeremy explained to Madeline in a calm tone, but his brows were twisted into a knot.
“What?“ “Manmade?“
Madeline and Fabian were shocked at the same time. Evan then walked over from one side, looking confused.
“The spots are manmade? Who is so vicious to take action on a child?“
Upon hearing this, Madeline’s thoughts seemed to become clear all at once.
“It’s Carter, isn’t it?“ She met Jeremy’s eyes. “Carter was the one who called just now.“
Jeremy nodded. As expected, he could not hide anything from Madeline.
“That bastard! “
Fabian instantly flew into a rage, and his face suddenly turned terrifyingly dark.
However, since he still held Lillian in his arms, he could only suppress the emotions that were on the verge of exploding.
Madeline’s heart was beating apprehensively. She looked at Jeremy and asked, “What did Carter say on the phone? What does he want?“
“He asked me to meet him tomorrow at the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang. He also asked me to bring Lily, “ Jeremy repeated what Carter had just said to Madeline.
“You can’t go, let alone take Lily.“ Fabian reminded him solemnly, “He must want to take action against you.“
“I know, it’s me he wants, “ Jeremy spoke unhurriedly. After that, he looked deeply into
Madeline’s eyes. “Linnie, I ‘ve already thought about it…“
“Have you decided to go alone?“ Madeline interrupted Jeremy and said what he had yet to say.
Jeremy pursed his lips and smiled, then his eyes soften. “It seems that there needs to be a resolution between Carter and me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t stop.“
“You can’t go.“ Madeline stopped him with a worried look on her face. “Do you know what Carter’s mentality is now? He blames you for all the unpleasant things that happened to him all this while! “
Madeline emphasized, grabbing Jeremy’s hand. “The monarch throne of St. Piaf and the child Shirley aborted. He’ll vent all his dissatisfaction on
you. Jeremy, you can’t meet him! “
Jeremy could feel Madeline’s nervousness and worry for him. Of course, he knew that, but…
“Linnie, he injected Lily with some kind of drug. I have to go.“
“What? How dare he do such a thing to Lily! “ Fabian could no longer control his emotions. “Where is he now? I’ll go find him immediately! “
“Fabian, “ Jeremy said to stop him, his gentle eyes fell on the cutie in his arms. “Fabian, I don’t think you want anything bad to happen to Lily, do you?“ “Jeremy, what do you mean?“ Fabian frowned.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2072
“Lily is very dependent on you.“ Jeremy’s eyes were very solemn. “Don’t you want to take care of Lily? Prove it to me now. Prove that you can take good care of my daughter so that I can leave my baby girl with you without worry.“
After hearing what Jeremy said, Fabian seemed stunned.
Before he could react, Jeremy walked up to him, bowed his head, and kissed Lily’s cheek.
“Lily, Mommy and I need to take care of some business. We’ll come to pick you up later. Stay here with Fab obediently and listen to everything he says, okay?“
Lillian understood that Madeline and Jeremy were leaving, so she furrowed her cute little brows in disappointment.
“Daddy. “ Her little cherry blossom mouth moved, and she called out to her father softly. At the same time, there was a tinge of loneliness in her eyes.
Concordant with Jeremy, Madeline smiled lovingly at Lillian.
“Lily, Daddy and I will come to take you home once we’re done with the business, so be a good girl and stay with Fab, okay?“
Being a very sensible child, Lillian did not show any unhappy emotions, and instead, she obediently nodded her head.
Very relieved, Jeremy took Madeline’s hand immediately.
“Linnie, let’s go back to the hotel first.“
“Okay.“
Without asking any more questions, Madeline finally kissed Lillian and followed Jeremy.
“Jeremy won’t take the risk to meet that guy named Carter alone, will he? “ Evan asked, feeling a little bit curious and worried.
Fabian looked at the door thoughtfully and frowned. “I think I also have some responsibility in this.“
“Fab, what did you say?“ Confused, Evan looked at Fabian who said this.
Fabian did not speak, but instead, he looked down at Lillian in his arms.
“Lily, don’t worry. I won’t let your parents get into trouble,“ he solemnly promised to Lillian.
At the hotel.
It was already late at night.
In Madeline’s heart, she still felt perturbed. Additionally, she felt terribly anxious when she remembered that Jeremy had decided to see Carter tomorrow.
However, Jeremy promised her that he would think of a countermeasure tonight. When he came up with it, he would make plans for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, however, Madeline woke up
and found that Jeremy was no longer by her side.
She called him but could not get through to him at all.
Madeline immediately contacted Fabian and asked him for the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Fabian, who was on the other end of the phone, told Madeline directly that he was now at the entrance to the coffee shop where they met up yesterday.
Madeline quickly got up to wash up. She then put on her coat hastily before hurrying over to the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel.
Fabian’s car was parked at the entrance. He got out of the car, opened the door for Madeline, and then stepped on the accelerator.
“Fabian, if you’re here, where’s Lily?“
“Evan will take care of Lily for me. Don’t worry, “
Fabian told her. He was staring at the road ahead with his eyes as sharp as swords. At the same time, he was constantly speeding up.
“Fabian, why don’t you go back? Tell me where the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang and I can find Jeremy by myself.“
“Do you think I will let you take the risk alone?“ Fabian asked back. After that, he guessed, “Judging by how anxious you are now, I’m guessing Jeremy has gone to Carter alone, didn’t he?“

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2073
After hearing this, Madeline nodded silently.
She clenched her fingers restlessly, her eyes filled with worry.
“Last night, he told me that he’d think of a countermeasure before going to meet Carter, but I woke up just now and found that he was no longer in the room. I can’t call him as well.“
As Madeline spoke, she felt her heart beating more frantically.
“I suspect that Jeremy has already met Carter and something bad may have happened.“
“Don’t think too much, I’ll take you there first. Maybe you can’t call him because the place he’s at has no signal.“
Fabian soothed and hoped that Madeline would stop overthinking.
Madeline certainly hoped that Jeremy was presently safe, but this uneasy heartbeat seemed to be telling her that Jeremy was not safe.
It took about ten minutes by car to reach the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
The sight of the big house in front of her triggered Madeline’s memory.
The last time she had been here was because Jeremy thought that Lillian had been taken away by Fabian’s brother, Yorick.
It was because of the incident back then Lana fell in love with Jeremy, which then caused a series of troubles to occur one after another.
Madeline got out of the car immediately and quickly ran to the gate.
The door was open, and it seemed that someone had entered this place not long ago.
Madeline entered the premises quickly. There was a smell of dust blowing over her face. It seemed that it had been a while since someone came here, and there had not been anyone who came to clean this place up.
“Jeremy, are you here? Jeremy.“ Madeline called out Jeremy’s name as she walked in, but no one responded to her the entire time.
She felt her heart beating more and more wildly; even her voice started to shake a little.
Carter would be prepared for this appointment, so Jeremy would definitely suffer if he came here like this.
After parking the car, Fabian was about to head in when he saw a figure suddenly coming out of the entrance.
It was none other than Carter!
When he recalled that Carter had caused Lillian’s skin to be covered with unknown rashes, Fabian suddenly gripped the steering wheel.
He started the car again, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in Carter’s direction.
Carter was already on alert when he heard the car’s engine.
He looked sideways at the speeding car. Just when he was about to dodge it, the car stopped in front of him.
Fabian had stepped on the brake.
Through the front windshield, Fabian raised his sharp eyebrows and glared at Carter, who looked slightly panicked.
Initially, he wanted to run over Carter just like this, but he thought of Lillian and also what Yorick said when he had still been alive.
He must act in accordance with the rules, be an upstanding person, and never do anything illegal.
Fabian took a deep breath. After recomposing himself and sorting out his emotions, he got out of the car.
When Carter saw that Fabian was getting out of the car, he chuckled arrogantly and disdainfully.
“I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be the second young master of the Johnson family.“ Carter’s tone was full of sarcasm. “Why? Don’t you need to accompany that little thing, Lillian? Why do you still have the sentiment to leisurely drive Eveline here?“
Fabian stared coldly at Carter who had just said that. “I won’t hold you accountable for Lily’s affairs for now. Tell me, why did you ask Jeremy to come here? Where is Jeremy now?“
Madeline had vaguely heard the commotion outside, so she hurried out of the house.
When she saw Carter standing at the gate so overtly, Madeline rushed over.
”Carter!”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2074
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2074
She ran up to Carter, her beautiful eyes shooting out a sharp, cold light.
“Where is my husband? Where did you take Jeremy?“
Carter smiled unhurriedly when he looked at Madeline whose face was full of anxiety.
“There should have been an end to the business between Jeremy and me. Isn’t this fine? He wants his baby daughter to be safe, so he has to trade his own safety for it.“
Upon listening to Carter’s words, Madeline raised her hand suddenly and grabbed Carter’s collar in an imposing manner.
“Carter, hurry up and tell me. Where is my husband?“
Ignoring Madeline’s nervous questioning, Carter dismissively pushed away Madeline’s hand and gave her an evil smirk.
“You can rest assured that he’s still breathing and that he still has a heartbeat. He won’t die for the time being.“
‘Won’t die for the time being?’
Madeline could feel her heart skipping a beat; she was even more certain that Jeremy must be in an extremely unsafe place and was immobilized.
“Carter, you’re despicable! “ Madeline’s eyes were full of contempt.
“And you still want to become the monarch of St. Piaf. I really don’t regret exposing your true colors to everyone! “
When he heard what Madeline said, Carter’s smug smile stiffened in an instant.
His original seamless plans were all ruined by the partnership between Madeline and Shirley.
Even the thought of it at the present bugs him.
Out of humiliation, Carter flew into a rage and suddenly grabbed Madeline’s hand.
“Eveline, don’t force me to take action against you! “
Madeline coldly retorted, “You can do it if you want. You don’t have to tell me in advance. Do you think I would be so nalve to think that you will be merciful to me?“
“You…“
“Let go! “ Fabian went up to them coolly and pushed away Carter’s hand that tightly held Madeline’s wrist.
He took a step forward and pulled Madeline behind him in a gentlemanly manner.
“Carter, if you’re still a man, don’t bully a woman.“
“Heh.“ Carter’s face turned dark and then he sneered again. “Woman? Do you think she looks like a weak woman?“
Carter’s stern gaze penetrated straight into Madeline’s sharp eyes.
“Since Jeremy came to see me as per the agreement and was willing to use himself in exchange for the safety of his precious daughter, then I will also abide by the agreement and give you what I should.“
Carter said as he took a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and gave it to Madeline.
“I injected the little thing with a test reagent previously developed by Shirley. The thing is colorless and tasteless, and red spots will appear within it hours after the injection. There wouldn’t be any symptoms at first, but the symptoms will gradually become more obvious soon.
“What I can tell you is that there’s no antidote for this test reagent yet. The recipe for that test reagent is written on this paper.“
There was no antidote for this test reagent. Madeline’s heartbeat sank, and she grabbed the paper that Carter handed over.
However, at this moment, she did not know if she could trust every word written on the paper.
Maybe this was yet another one of Carter’s traps.
Noticing Madeline’s hesitation, Carter smiled meaningfully. When he saw that Fabian was also looking at the piece of paper in concern, he took this opportunity to turn around. However, when he turned around, a group of armed men suddenly appeared, encircling Carter.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2075
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2075
When Madeline and Fabian heard the sound, they looked up at the same time.
Numerous tall men wearing special equipment surrounded Carter.
As for Carter, he seemed to know these people, so he was not particularly surprised, and instead, he just sneered.
“You found me.“ He raised his eyes contemptuously. When he was about to resist, a familiar voice came from behind the group of people.
“They didn’t find you. I told them that you are here.“
As the voice fell away, Shirley appeared in Carter’s line of sight.
She slowly approached Carter as her frail body sat in the wheelchair.
However, Shirley was surprised to see Madeline and Fabian. She did not know that Madeline would be here. Although she did not know Fabian, she knew that this was Lillian’s support in F Country.
Carter looked at Shirley who was gradually approaching him, and there was self-mockery in his eyes.
“Did you really tell them that I’m here?“
Seeing that Carter did not seem to believe it, Shirley smiled and replied confidently, “Of course, I told them. How would they be able to trace you from St.
Piaf otherwise?“
When Shirley answered affirmatively, Carter laughed and then closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his face was already horribly gloomy.
“Do you really hate me so much that you can’t wait for me to die?“ Carter asked Shirley as he looked into Shirley’s indifferent eyes.
Shirley looked coldly at the face which she had admired for many years, and her vision gradually blurred.
“You still have time to turn back now.“
“Turn back?“ Carter repeated these two words with a chuckle.
He looked at the group of people surrounding him, and his smile became even more sarcastic.
“How do you expect me to turn back? Can I start everything again if I were to turn back? If I turned back, would I still be the viscount of St. Piaf
everyone respects? Would I still see the woman who loved me so much when I turn back?“
Carter asked a series of rhetorical questions as he gradually lost control of his emotions.
Shirley’s heart trembled, and she firmly squeezed the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, forcing herself to calm down.
When she was about to persuade Carter again, she heard him laugh again.
“You want to arrest me, don’t you? You want to take me back to St. Piaf to punish me, don’t you? Okay, come on.“
Carter stretched out his arms, seemingly giving up in resisting. However, when the people who were about to arrest Carter put down their guard, Carter suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shirley’s neck.
His move surprised everyone present.
Shirley had not expected Carter to behave like this either.
Had he been driven so desperate that even if he would die, he would drag her with him too?
Shirley thought, and her heart raced, but she did not want to resist in any way.
If he truly wanted to do this, she would be willing. “Carter, what are you doing? Do you want to kill your woman?“ Madeline hurriedly asked.
Carter lowered his gaze disapprovingly and looked at the unresponsive Shirley. “My woman? Heh, hehe…“
Carter laughed mockingly, but the corners of his eyes turned wet involuntarily.
“My woman called these people to arrest me.“ His sarcastic voice lingered in Shirley’s ears.
“Shirley, is this the outcome you want? You must really want me to make amends to your brother, don’t you? It seems that today is a good opportunity.“
After saying that, Carter increased the force of his palm slightly.
When the armed police sent to arrest Carter saw this, they raised their guns at him.
“Carter, let go of the hostage.”
“Hostage?” Carter raised his arrogant cold eyes disapprovingly. “She’s not a hostage. She’s just a fool who is willing to die with me.” He said as he looked at Shirley who did not resist. The side of her face that was intact looked so beautiful in his blurred vision.

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2076
“Am I right? You want to die with me.“
Shirley looked forward indifferently. The cold wind blew over, and she suddenly smiled.
“Yeah, I’m tired of living for a while now. If you want to die, take me with you. I really miss my mom and dad, and Addy…“
Carter’s eyes sank when he heard Shirley’s words. His Adam’s apple moved slightly; it seemed that it was a sob. “Okay.“
He opened his lips and uttered a single word.
“Then, let’s go to hell together.“
He said those words of despair and tightened his hand on Shirley’s neck.
Indifferent, Shirley allowed Carter’s palm to tighten more and more, then she slowly closed her eyes.
“Carter, let Shirley go!“ Madeline tried to stop Carter, but Fabian held her back.
“It’s dangerous! Don’t go there! He’s a lunatic.“ “But I can’t just stand by and watch…“
Bang!
Before Madeline could finish speaking, she suddenly heard the loud sound of a gunshot.
Her eyes were met with a glaring sight of red blood.
Carter had been shot.
His arm that held Shirley’s throat had been shot, and blood was seeping through his coat.
Shirley had not expected those people to shoot.
Although Carter had committed crimes, he was still a royalty of St. Piaf. Even if they carne to arrest him, they still had to ensure Carter’s safety, yet they had fired.
Carter quickly released his palm that held Shirley. In reality, he had never really thought about strangling Shirley like this. Never.
Shirley was stunned for several seconds before she could react, then, at this moment, another bullet hit Carter in the leg.
Shirley’s eyes turned red instantly. “Carter! “
She involuntarily called out Carter’s name and stopped those people.
“Stop shooting! Don’t shoot anymore! “ Her eyes were red as she commanded.
“Have you forgotten who Carter is? He must return to St. Piaf unharmed! That’s your mission! “
Shirley roared out, tears escaping her eyes like pearls on a broken string.
Her legs were weak, and she could not move, but she still relied on the strength of her body to quickly help Carter.
“Carter, you must hold on. Your life won’t be in danger. I’ll ask them to take you to the hospital immediately!”
Shirley wanted to help Carter leave as she spoke, but Carter seemed to have some difficulties in walking.
When he saw the messy tears on Shirley’s face,
Carter suddenly felt that the two shots were worth it. “It’s been a while.”
Carter smiled and sighed self-deprecatingly.
He raised his slightly trembling palms and touched Shirley’s face.
However, when his fingers were about to touch Shirley’s cheeks, his palms suddenly stiffened in the air.
“Carter?” Shirley looked at Carter, who was increasingly pale, in shock.
Suddenly, Carter, seemingly drained of all strength, fell to the ground. “Carter? Carter! “
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2077
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2077
Heartbroken, Shirley called out to Carter, and then with some force, she overturned the wheelchair and fell on Carter’s body.
Upon seeing this, Madeline ran to Shirley’s side immediately, trying to help her up.
“Shirley, you should get up first.“
“No, I won’t get up! “ Shirley stubbornly hugged Carter’s arm tightly.
“His life won’t be in danger, Shirley. You have to take care of your body, “ Madeline comforted.
However, Shirley still did not let go. She cried and shook her head. The unconscious Carter was the only person she could see right now.
“Eveline, we don’t feel about this in the same way. You won’t care even if he dies, but I do.“
“I care about it too! “ Madeline emphasized.
Shirley was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Madeline with suspicion and saw the solemn expression on Madeline’s face.
“Carter hid Jeremy somewhere and I want to know where Jeremy is. So, just like you, I hope Carter won’t be in danger.“
After hearing this, Shirley seemed to be much calmer.
The men armed with guns from one side came over at this moment. Expression absent from the faces, they carried Carter and then placed him into a car.
After that, Madeline and Fabian helped Shirley back into the wheelchair.
Shirley wanted to go into the same car as Carter, but those people did not let Shirley get in the car.
She suddenly wondered if she had been in the wrong for calling those people from St. Piaf’s to arrest Carter.
No, she had not been wrong.
If she had not done this, Carter would only keep on making mistakes again, and he would never be able to restart his life again then.
At least, now he still had a chance to change.
Madeline could not find Jeremy, so she and Fabian could only take Shirley back to the villa.
Shirley told Madeline that she had used the phone Madeline gave her to notify the authorities in St. Piaf while Carter was not paying attention.
The authorities there had been worried that they could not catch Carter. As such, when they received Shirley’s report, they sent people to catch Carter overnight.
Carter had been oblivious of everything.
“I really don’t want to see him continue to be so obsessed with this.“ In the end, Shirley sighed, tears glistening in her eyes.
Madeline could fully understand Shirley’s feelings, but she was also anxious to know where Jeremy was.
“Shirley, do you know where Carter might be hiding Jeremy?“
Shirley shook her head slightly. “I only know he’d go out today, but I don’t know who he had an appointment with.“
When she saw that Shirley had no idea as well, Madeline had no other ideas, but she quickly passed the paper Carter had given her to Shirley and explained the situation. At the same time, she called out to Lillian, who was sitting and playing next to Fabian.
After hearing what Madeline said and seeing the small red rashes on Lillian’s arm, a look of loneliness and regret surged in Shirley’s eyes.
“I shou1d’ve asked the people from St. Piaf to send someone to arrest Carter sooner so that he wouldn’t have had a chance to move against your daughter.“
Shirley said helplessly, her eyes full of guilt.
“I can’t blame Carter fully for this since I was the one who developed this test reagent.“
“Why did you develop such a harmful thing?“ Fabian asked in dissatisfaction.
“What’s your relationship with Carter? Why was this thing you developed in Carter’s hands? You were actually colluding with him, weren’t you?“
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2078
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2078
Fabian blurted out all his suspicion.
Shirley was momentarily stunned, then a trace of self-blame appeared in her eyes.
“You’re right to be suspicious. I used to collude with Carter, and I’d done what he wanted me to do. I was a fool with no self-respect who could not think for myself.“ Shirley laughed at herself.
Upon hearing Shirley’s description of herself, Fabian was surprised and a little embarrassed.
Knowing that Shirley helped Madeline rescue Lillian before, Fabian coughed twice and corrected Shirley before thanking her.
“Ahem, I, I was just too worried about Lily, so that’s why I didn’t think before I spoke. You don’t have to take it to heart. I know that you are actually different from Carter. He doesn’t have a heart.“
Fabian explained. He did feel that Shirley and Carter were not the same.
If Shirley had truly been that nasty, Madeline would not have been able to rescue Lillian.
After listening to Fabian’s explanation, Shirley just smiled calmly.
In fact, she no longer cared about what others thought of her.
“Shirley, you had originally developed this test reagent, so you must have a way to prepare an antidote, don’t you?“
Madeline asked urgently, looking at the spots on her baby princess’s skin. At that moment, she only felt distressed.
Shirley gently put the piece of paper on the coffee table. “Carter didn’t lie to you, and the formula is true. Also, even though there is indeed no antidote, I can try to make one. But I just don’t know if I can buy the corresponding materials needed for the antidote.“
“Don’t worry too much about this, I can ask Evan for help.“ Fabian was very confident.
Shirley nodded, her expression becoming anxious again.
“Are you worried about Carter?“ Madeline saw something wrong with Shirley’s expression, so she could vaguely guess the reason behind it.
“Yes, I’m worried about him,“ Shirley replied, chuckling involuntarily.
“I know that his life won’t be in danger, but when he wakes up, he will definitely be sent back to St. Piaf where he will be severely punished.“
Shirley said with a long sigh, followed by a melancholic question.
“Fame, wealth, power, status. Are they really that important to a man?“
“These are very important to a man, but they must not be obtained through improper means. Carter ended up where he has today because he took the wrong path.“
Madeline’s answer caused Shirley to fall into contemplation.
Perhaps she was also half responsible for why Carter had become what he was today.
Back then, she never objected nor corrected him when he asked her to do those things. She merely blindly followed his instructions. If she could stop it then, the outcome might be different.
Shirley had been waiting for updates about Carter while Madeline also waited for news.
She waited not only for Carter to wake up, but she also hoped that Fabian’s people could find Jeremy. However, after she waited and waited, they could not find any clues at all.
At this time, Madeline remembered one thing.
The locations of Jeremy and her mobile phones were linked to each other, Madeline immediately looked up the location of Jeremy’s phone, but what she did not expect was that the location the red dot displayed was actually the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang, which was where she and Fabian had gone early in the morning.
It was already dark, but Madeline did not delay. She called a car and rushed to the place where she had gone in the morning.
After getting out of the car, she followed the red dot on the screen and walked in. It was already dark, and the big house was pitch black.
Madeline turned on the phone’s flashlight and walked into the dark.
When she nearly arrived, she stopped in her tracks.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2079
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2079
There was a table not far in front of her. Upon seeing the objects placed on it, Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before she rushed toward the table.
Jeremy’s phone and wedding ring were still clearly visible in the dim light.
Madeline picked up the wedding ring and phone, certain that Jeremy must have been here, but Madeline did not know where he went afterward.
When she recalled the depth of Carter’s hatred for Jeremy, Madeline became more anxious.
“Jeremy. “ Madeline squeezed the ring and phone in her hand and gently called out Jeremy’s name.
“No, Eveline, you have to calm down, you must calm down.“
Madeline said repeatedly to keep her emotions in check and force herself to calm down.
She looked at the red dot on the phone, which indicated that Jeremy’s location was nearby, and then she recalled what happened this morning in her mind.
At the time, Fabian brought her here, but not long after she went inside, Carter came out of place. Since Carter had still been here at the time, Jeremy should be here as well.
“Is Jeremy still here?“
As she thought about this, Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.
It was getting late, and none of the lights here could be turned on. As such, Madeline could only rely on the light of her phone to look around.
However, she nearly searched the entire house and still could not find any trace of Jeremy.
Eventually, Madeline returned to Fabian’s villa in despair.
When Fabian saw that she was back, he told her immediately that there was news from the hospital that Carter was awake, but Carter was still a little confused.
This meant that Carter was completely incapable of providing any useful information to Madeline.
She still had no way of knowing where Jeremy could be.
Time passed slowly, and Madeline could not sleep peacefully.
She felt as if her heart had been suspended in mid – air; she felt very perturbed.
Madeline was not in the mood to sleep at all. She turned to look at the little cutie lying beside her, sleeping peacefully, and eventually, her restless heart was filled with so much warmth and relief.
“Lily, when I find Daddy, we’ll go home together. I know you want to stay with Fab, but we still have many opportunities to do that in the future, don’t we?“
Madeline spoke softly. The little cutie who was sleeping soundly did not respond, but her pink lips moved slightly.
Madeline looked at the apple of her eyes affectionately before slowly getting up and walking out of the room.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, Madeline saw someone sitting by the French window in the living room on the second floor.
Madeline turned around and walked over. Upon taking a closer using the moonlight, she realized that it was Shirley.
Madeline wanted to turn on a light because of the dark, but she heard Shirley stopping her.
“Don’t turn on the lights.”
Upon hearing this, Madeline’s fingertip that had just found the switch paused gently.
“Thank you.”
After Shirley thanked her, she sighed sorrowfully.
“I have known Carter for more than ten years, and I met him when I thought my parents had abandoned me.”

Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2080
“At the time, he came into my life like a beam of light, illuminating my bleak future. After that, I rediscovered myself and my confidence.“
Shirley recounted with a faint smile on her face, but the smile was quickly dissipated in the moonlight.
Her eyes gradually lost their light.
“But in the end, he took away my confidence…“
Shirley laughed bitterly at herself, and Madeline knew what she meant.
“I can completely understand your feelings.“
Madeline walked slowly to Shirley’s side, but a very relieved smile appeared on her small face.
“I used to be the same as you. I didn’t have any self- respect and self-love in front of the man I love, but then I found out that loving someone blindly like that is like a moth flying into a fire. It’s asking for humiliation.“
“Unfortunately, I understood it too late.“
Shirley said regretfully, lifting her gaze to look at Madeline.
“Even though you blindly loved Jeremy back then, you’re not the same as me. If you were me, you would’ve stopped Jeremy if he went on the wrong path, but instead of stopping Carter, I was his accomplice. In the end, he went on a road where he couldn’t turn back.“
“He still has a chance to turn back now.“ Madeline raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly. “Shirley, I hope you can help me again.“
“You want me to help you ask Carter about Jeremy’s whereabouts?“
Madeline nodded solemnly. “Jeremy must be trapped somewhere right now. I ‘m really worried.“
Shirley lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then she said, “I ‘m not sure what Carter’s mental state is now. If he thinks that his life is going to be over, maybe he won’t tell me anything. But no matter what, I’ll give it a try.“
Shirley promised. Early the next morning, she went to the hospital where Carter was; Madeline went with her too.
The two shots had hit Carter on his right shoulder and his left leg. Those shots did not hurt his vital organs, so he should not be in a bad condition.
However, the man guarding the door told them that Carter had not woken up yet.
Shirley felt it a little strange. She explained the situation to the guard, but that person did not allow Shirley to enter the room.
Madeline truly had no patience to wait like this, so she kept her emotions under control and explained the situation as calmly as possible.
“I know that it is very important for you to bring Carter back to St. Piaf, but now, only he knows my husband’s whereabouts, and Carter likely locked my husband up in a very dangerous place.“
“So? What about it?“ the man asked rhetorically and indifferently after blankly listening to what Madeline had said.
Madeline was a little frustrated, but she still tried her best to keep her emotions in check. “So, now I have reason to suspect Carter is pretending to be unconscious. He has already woken up, but he just wants to delay time and leave my husband in a dangerous situation! “
“Do you have any evidence to prove that Carter is related to your husband’s disappearance?“ The man was still stubborn.
“I can attest to it,“ Shirley said to help Madeline.
Dismissively, the man lowered his head and glanced at Shirley who was seated in the wheelchair. “Your words are not sufficient as proof.“
“Not sufficient as proof?“ Shirley smiled. “If I hadn’t given you information, could you have arrested Carter so smoothly?“
Upon hearing what Shirley said, the man froze. At that moment, he did not seem to know how to answer this question.
When she saw that the man was in a daze, Madeline stepped forward decisively. She immediately pushed open the door to the ward.
“Stop right there! “ the man said hurriedly in response to stop her, but after he went in after Madeline, he was stunned by what was in front of him.
“W—What’s going on? How is this possible?“
