Chapter 1532
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After he saw the door close, Carter took out his phone and started looking through the information he received. While looking at the contents on his screen, he curled the corners of his lips in interest.
âJeremy.â
â¦
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
Madeline had received a call from Carter last night, asking her to come to the manor earlier.
In order to finish the task successfully, Madeline asked for leave. Luckily, Jeremy was on a business trip these two days, so it would be more convenient for her to go out.
Madeline arrived at the manor according to the time they agreed upon. However, the manor was still quiet at this hour and there were no guests at all.
On the other hand, the garden had been decorated beautifully for the engagement ceremony to take place.
Madeline did not have the mood to admire it, so she walked straight to the house. However, after she got into the door, she heard Ada grumbling furiously.
âCarty is insane! Insane, I tell you! Heâs seriously going to get engaged to that freak in the garden later!â
âFreak.â
Madeline smiled nonchalantly.
âNo, Ada, if this woman is really engaged to Carter, then youâll have no chance of being the viscountess,â Adaâs mother reminded her with a nervous look on her face. âWe canât let Carter get engaged to that woman!â
âOf course, I know that! However, how can we stop Carty? The engagement party will start in two hours!â
âOnly Camille can stop Carter now!â Adaâs mother said and immediately turned around to look for Camille. The moment she turned around, she saw Camille coming downstairs, so she walked over quickly. âCamilleâ¦â
âI heard everything you said. Iâve told him everything I could think of, but you should know how Carter is.â
Camille frowned helplessly and comforted Ada.
âAda, even though Carter is getting engaged to that woman, sheâs right. We donât know whatâll happen in the future. Plus, everyone in the Louis family has their mindset on you being our daughter-in-law. So, even if Carter likes that woman, she wonât be able to pass in regards to her appearance.â
Adaâs eyes lit up after Camille said that. She looked as if she had been enlightened with perfect wisdom as she simpered to Camille.
âAunty Cammy, thank you for comforting me. Nothingâs more important than your support! Actually, Iâm not after the position of the viscountess. I truly like Carty. However, not only is that woman hideous, but she doesnât even care about Carty at all.â
Camille smiled and patted Adaâs hand. At this moment, they looked very harmonious.
Madeline initially wanted to go in, but now, she decided to turn around.
However, after she turned around, she saw Carterâs entourage.
The man smiled at her politely and led Madeline from the side door into the dressing room on the second floor of the manor.
Madeline saw a galaxy blue custom-made gown hanging in front of her, and she subconsciously felt that Carter had prepared this for her.
Indeed, the maid who came in after her walked over to help her change.
Madeline was not used to people helping her dress, so she dismissed the maid.
She stood in front of the French window and spaced out while looking at the gown.
She did not want to wear a gown for another man who was not Jeremy. However, today was a special case.
âJeremy, the only reason Iâm wearing this gown is to investigate what Carter is doing. So, in some ways, Iâm still wearing this for you.â
After Madeline thought about that, she felt more at ease.
She picked up the gown and walked to the full-length mirror to put it on. However, she could not reach the zip on her back.
When she was about to call the maid for help, she suddenly saw a figure wearing a suit appearing behind her.
âLet me help you.â
