Chapter 1630
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âYes, Mr. Carter,â one of the maids quickly responded and walked to Madelineâs side.
Madeline glanced at Carter who was as calm as ever and then at the doughty bodyguards beside him.
She did not have another choice except to go back to the room.
After returning, Madeline looked at the remaining bloodstains on the floor. When she thought of Jeremy bleeding out in pain just now, her heart ached.
âJeremyâ¦â
Madeline fiddled with the wedding ring on her ring finger. When she thought about her cold attitude toward Jeremy before, she felt even more embarrassed.
Click.
The door was suddenly opened again.
Madeline looked up and saw Carter holding the doorknob as he stood leisurely in front of the room.
âTomorrowâs wedding ceremony will be held as usual. I hope Miss Montgomery can continue to cooperate with me. I think you should also want to see Jeremy leave St. Piaf safely.â
After he said that, Carter closed the door decisively.
Madeline clenched her fingers and looked at the moon outside the French windows.
âJeremy, Iâve taken the wrong step.
âI shouldnât have acted on my own initiative.â
Madeline suffered all night in self-blame. When the sky started to turn bright the next day, a maid came in and announced to Madeline that she was here to help her get dressed.
Thinking of Carterâs threatening words of reminder last night, Madeline chose to cooperate.
After more than half an hour of torment, Camille came in. Her dress today looked more luxurious, looking as if she was dripping in jewels.
Camille also did not know that Madeline had only pretended to pass out yesterday. When she saw Madeline looking better today, she was very satisfied and relieved.
âDonât faint suddenly again. Today is your wedding day with Carter.â
Madeline looked at herself in the mirror and quickly stood up.
The maid who was doing her makeup looked at Madeline in surprise.
âMiss Montgomeryâ¦â
âMrs. Gray, I need to ask you for a favor.â Madeline landed her gaze on Camilleâs face, seeking help.
Camille was surprised as she stared blankly at Madeline. âHow can I help you?â
Madeline looked at the maids beside her. âPlease go out. I have something to say to Mrs. Gray alone.â
The maids took a look at Camille before leaving.
âWhatâs the matter? You can tell me now,â Camille asked.
Madeline was straightforward and honest. âMrs. Gray, to be frank, Carter and I donât have any feelings for each other at all. He doesnât like me and Iâm not interested in him. He had saved me once before, so I helped him make Ada leave. Our relationship is fake, and Jeremy and I are still married.â
ââ¦â Camilleâs expression changed suddenly. âWhat? Itâs fake? Then nowâ¦â
âItâs impossible for me and Carter to appear in front of so many people as a couple.â
ââ¦â
Camilleâs face looked more horrible. Then, at this moment, Carter pushed open the door and walked in.
He was wearing a decently tailored limited edition suit, looking radiant and graceful.
Carter frowned in confusion when he saw Camilleâs gloomy face. âDid something happen?â
