Chapter 1809

Agitated, Shirley rejected Ada whose hand reached over to Shirley’s mask.

Shirley’s movement was swift as she caught hold of Ada’s right hand, but Ada quickly extended her left hand and forcibly snatched away Shirley’s mask.

Ada immediately saw the scar on Shirley’s face, and Ada’s eyes sparkled. She smiled evilly as she enjoyed her masterpiece.

She knew that Shirley, even now, was still unaware that it was Ada who disfigured her.

“Oh my, what’s wrong with your face? Why is there a slash mark on it? Is it because you’ve offended so many people that someone came for payback, Shirley?”

Ada asked despite knowing the answer, and even put on an unusually astonished look.

Upon hearing Ada’s mockery, Shirley was suddenly unusually calm.

She stared at Ada, and the agitated feelings she was having earlier no longer existed.

Ada thought that Shirley was not speaking because Shirley was starting to think lowly of herself, and this eased Ada.

“Shirley, you should have known earlier that a woman like you couldn’t possibly be a part of the Gray family. Did you think that staying in the Gray family for a few years would make you a daughter-i n-law to the family as well? Dream on!”

Ada rolled her eyes at Shirley.

“Just look at you right now. Disfigured and paralyzed. You’re no different from a stray dog. With your current looks, do you still think Carter would marry you? Dream on!”

“Shirley, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, you’d only humiliate yourself if Carter sees you in this ugly state!”

As Ada spoke, she threw the mask in her hand back to Shirley.

As she threw it, Shirley suddenly lifted her hand and grasped onto Ada’s wrist.

Ada glared at Shirley, feeling unsatisfied. “What’s wrong? Do you want to hit me? Do you even have the guts to hit me? I’m Carter’s wife now. I’m a viscountess, Shirley. If you dare lay a finger on me, I’m afraid the other half of your face will be disfigured too!”

Ada fiercely and ruthlessly warned her.

Cathy, who had finished her call, saw the scene from afar and quickly ran over to Shirley’s side.

She had no idea what was happening, but she could feel the obvious heat between them.

She wanted to advise Shirley to release her hand first, but she saw Shirley suddenly clenching onto Ada’s wrist, and Shirley’s gaze became sterner.

“It was you then,” Shirley said, staring at Ada.

Ada was stunned, and her eyes darted because of guilt.

“Shirley, I’m warning you. Let go of me this instant!

“Hmph. I’m truly a fool for not recognizing you back then.” Shirley smiled coldly and forcefully yanked Ada before her. “Quit the act. The scar on the back of your hand is the best evidence to prove that you were the one who disfigured me back then!

“….” Ada, not expecting Shirley to see through her merely because of the scar on the back of her hand, was dumbfounded.

Cathy too was astonished. “You did this to her face, and you had even deliberately blamed it on Eveline. You’re just too cruel.”

“What nonsense are you blabbering about?! ” Of course, Ada insisted on denying it. She summoned all her strength; only then did she break free from Shirley’s grip. Ada then ruthlessly threatened Shirley, “Shirley, I have nothing to do with your disfigured face. You ending up paralyzed has nothing to do with me either. You’d best watch your mouth! “

“What’s wrong? Are you scared that I’ll tell Carter? ” Shirley smiled softly. “Rest assured, I won’t tell him, but you remember my occupation, right? Since you have the guts to disfigure me, you better be careful in the coming days. I’ll use scientific means t o slowly rot your face each day. In the end, you’d be an ugly lady who no one dares to look at.”

“…” When Ada heard this, her face went pale, and her eyes flashed with terror and insecurity.

She firmly believed that Shirley could do it.
