Chapter 1589

After Madeline heard that, she looked at the time. She smiled and parted her lips, saying, “I’ll arrive at the place Mr. Carter has arranged on time, so you don’t have to drive me. My husband will go with me.”

The driver smiled. “Miss Montgomery, you’ve misunderstood me. Mr. Carter asked me to drive you because he wants you to go alone. Plus, Mr. Carter doesn’t want people to know the place I’ll be bringing you to.”

What a mysterious place.

Madeline was hesitating. She then heard the driver saying, “Mr. Carter knows that you want to return the favor of him saving you, so it’s best if you go yourself, Miss Montgomery.”

Madeline had to admit that she did want to return this favor. This way, she would be able to stop getting involved with this man.

However, why was this person investigating Jeremy?

While she was wondering about this, Jeremy drove over in his car.

When he saw what was happening at the door, he stopped the car, got out, and walked over.

“Linnie, who’s this?”

“He’s Carter’s driver.”

After Jeremy heard that, he lifted his deep eyes and looked at this man up and down.

The man smiled politely at Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Carter is inviting Miss Montgomery for a small meeting. I hope you don’t mind.”

Jeremy furrowed his brows slightly. “What do you mean?”

Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand when she detected his displeasure. “Jeremy, I’ll just go alone.”

“Alone?”

“Yeah, don’t worry. He won’t do anything out of line to me.” Madeline was certain.

At least, she was sure that Carter did not have any romantic feelings toward her.

He had sided with his mother when she was framed by Ada and her mother last time. He did not even trust her.

“Jeremy, he did save me and I did lie to him. I should apologize to him because it would only be polite to do so.” Madeline tried to get the man to nod his head.

In the end, Jeremy gave in. He lifted his head to stroke Madeline’s cheek gently.

“Stay in contact with me always.”

“Okay.”

Madeline nodded. She got up to Jeremy and planted a kiss on Jeremy’s cheek before getting into the car.

Jeremy looked at the car that Madeline was in as it got farther and farther away from him. For some reason, he could feel anxiety creeping into his heart.

‘It won’t.

‘Stop overthinking.’

He calmed his heartbeat that was starting to race suddenly. In the end, he still decided to drive his car and follow them.

The driver had said there was a change in the meeting place, but Madeline realized that they were at Carter’s manor after the car stopped.

The driver had lied.

However, why did he lie?

Was it to make her get into the car alone?

When Madeline thought about this, she started to feel vigilant.

While she was thinking about this, Madeline saw the young man who was always with Carter walking toward her.

“Miss Montgomery, Mr. Carter has been waiting for you. Please come with me.” The man invited respectfully.

Madeline looked around her before lifting her legs to follow him.

She thought that person would bring her to Carter’s study, but after they walked past the corridor of the living room, he brought Madeline to the door of the basement instead.
