Chapter 1623

Carter finished the sentence with a deep smile and strode to Madeline with the crystal ball in his hands.

He immediately captured Madeline’s gaze and issued the instructions.

“Eveline, look into this crystal ball. From this second on, your entire body will feel relaxed. You will not be affected by anyone. Just keep in mind that the man you love most now is Carter Gray.”

Upon hearing this, Jeremy was instantly angry.

He clenched his fist and charged forward to grab Carter’s collar. He snatched the crystal ball away.

“Carter, is this how you hypnotized my wife? Eveline loves me. Do you think you can really deceive her like this and fool her forever?” Jeremy roared in a low voice. The veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were popping out. He was unable to control his emotions at the moment. If he could, he really wanted to strangle the man in front of him to death.

Carter smiled disapprovingly. “Jeremy, I advise you to let me go right away. Do you know what’s the worst thing that can happen if she gets interrupted in the middle of hypnosis?”

Seeing Carter’s triumphant eyes, Jeremy’s fingers loosened subconsciously.

He could not risk his Linnie. He could not.

Carter felt Jeremy releasing him and smiled with satisfaction. He easily broke away from Jeremy’s hand and straightened his clothes slowly. Finally, he parted his lips leisurely.

“The worst thing that can happen after getting interrupted during hypnosis is that the hypnotized person may live in hypnosis all their life, or they’ll become a semi-crazy fool after losing all their ability to think.”

Upon hearing this, Jeremy felt as if his heart had frozen. His whole body seemed to be encased in ice.

He raised his eyes to look at Madeline, and her eyes were staring at the crystal ball without focus like a puppet without a soul—waiting to be manipulated.

Jeremy felt as though his whole body was in pain at the moment. He was so powerless as he watched the love of his life being teased by others.

While he was thinking about it, Carter took away the crystal ball in his hand and continued to hypnotize Madeline even deeply.

Jeremy could only watch as Madeline listened to Carter’s instructions. She then closed her eyes, lay down on the bed, and entered a temporary state of sleep.

Jeremy could not bear this anymore. “Carter, what do you want?”

“Nothing much,” Carter said leisurely, “Glendale is a very good place. I want to start my business there.”

As he spoke, he met Jeremy’s questioning eyes with his challenging gaze.

“The young master of the number one family in Glendale seems to only have a hollow reputation. How can a man who only has women in his eyes and mind reach the pinnacle of his career?”

Jeremy stared coldly at Carter. “The woman you’re talking about is my wife. In my heart, nothing is more important than her.”

“As such, you can only lose.”

Carter smiled, and there was something sinister in that smile.

“Jeremy, since you’re here today, I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult for you to walk away again and sneak into the doors of the Louis family’s manor to steal my wife. I think you have to bear the punishment for your crime. I want you to understand how harsh the legal system in St. Piaf is.”

After Carter said that, several men who were wearing formal outfits and seemingly looked like bodyguards suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

“Get him.”

Carter issued the order.

The men rushed into the room immediately to catch Jeremy.

Jeremy glanced worriedly at Madeline who was lying on the bed. However, he had no other choice but to run to the balcony and jump off it without hesitation.

Carter had not expected Jeremy to do that.
