Chapter 1730

“It seems that you’ve forgotten that the poison in your body is not completely cleared as well.”

Carter spoke confidently.

Jeremy’s expression remained static despite this reminder.

“What about it? You seem to be quite confident. Was it just because of this?”

“No, I am completely confident.” There was an assured look on Carter’s face. “Jeremy, since you’re here and we’re done talking, let me bring you guys somewhere.”

Without speaking, Jeremy and Madeline shared a look.

“What is it? Are you guys scared?” Carter asked provocatively. “If you’re scared, you’re free to not follow.”

Carter then turned and walked toward the basement.

Madeline remembered this place. Carter had hypnotized her here back then. Unbeknownst to Madeline, a completely different world was hidden in the basement.

Through the side door, there was a large-scale laboratory.

The laboratory was equipped with state-of-the-art instruments.

Madeline saw that the test tube racks were neatly arranged with vials of various colors and sizes. This scene gave Madeline an extreme chill.

These vials of anti-toxoid test reagents, likely developed by Shirley, had a variety of effects.

“Can you guess whether the anti-toxoid test reagent you’re looking for is here?” Carter asked with a proud smile on his face.

Perhaps he was proud of the fact that he owned so many mysterious anti-toxoid test reagents.

“Eveline, do you know what will happen during your next flare-up?”

Carter kept them on tenterhooks. He observed Jeremy’s reaction before speaking.

“You will recall the worst and the most painful experience in your life.”

Madeline was unsurprised by Carter’s answer. On the contrary, she had already expected this.

However, Jeremy immediately froze when he heard this answer.

Carter was visibly very satisfied by Jeremy’s reaction.

“What about it? I’ve already figured out what you’re referring to. Did you think I would be frightened by this, then submit to you, listen to you, and return Shirley to you?”

Jeremy was now shocked by Madeline’s calmness and questions.

‘She knows?

‘How did she know?’

“What is it? Are you disappointed that the thing you’d thought could threaten me doesn’t affect me in the slightest?”

Carter looked at the smiling Madeline and suddenly felt slightly defeated. “Eveline, you truly are a special woman. Unfortunately, no matter how special you are, you will submit when the time comes.”

“We shall see.”

Upon hearing the conversation between Madeline and Carter, Jeremy felt his temples throbbing furiously.

He faced Madeline. The sight of her calm and serene mannerism left an excruciating ache in his heart.

‘It seemed that Linnie had already known about the pain and torment she’ll be going through in the final stage, yet she never said a single word.

‘Does she intend to suffer this alone?’

Jeremy dared not imagine that Madeline would again suffer the horrendous experiences of the past.

He could not let her relive those horrible experiences.

“Carter, tell us your final terms. I’ll agree to anything as long as you have the anti-toxoid test reagent.”
