Chapter 1842

“Enough of this useless talk, ” Shirley interrupted her, “just stay as far away from me as possible.

You’d better not have any ideas about the child in m y womb. Otherwise, I’ll let you have a taste of what it’s like to lose a limb or be disfigured.”

“How dare you threaten me?” Ada was enraged; her expression turned dark and unsightly. “Do you think you can do whatever you want since you’re pregnant with Carter’s child? I’m tell you, Shirley. I f I wanted to kill that vile spawn in your womb, I won’t even need to lift a finger. Just you wait!”

Ada warned Shirley furiously. Ada was about to turn around to leave, but Camille was standing at the door of the bedroom.

Ada’s face paled in a flash. She was at a loss as she watched Camille walk into the room slowly. ”

Mom.”

Camille shot a look of disgust at Ada. “What now? Since you don’t have to lift a finger yourself, whose hands do you plan to use to murder my grandson? Your mother’s?”

Ada bit her lip upon hearing this. Although she felt anxious, she was also angry at how Camille had addressed the child in Shirley’s womb.

Grandson.

What type of grandson is this?

The only child that could be considered the Gray family’s rightful grandson was the one Ada delivers!

“Why aren’t you speaking anymore, huh?”

“Mom, I… I was simply too jealous just now and ended up talking gibberish. In truth, how would I dare?” Ada quibbled hurriedly.

“You wouldn’t dare?” Furious, Camille glared at Ada. “Didn’t you use a knife to disfigure Shirley’s face with your own hands? If you dared to do such a thing, what else wouldn’t you do?”

“I didn’t! ” Ada strived to defend herself. “There’s no evidence to prove that I did it!”

“Would you like me to prove it to you?” Carter’s cold voice from the bedroom entrance.

Ada fell silent instantly.

Carter eyed her impatiently. ” I’ve told you to take good care of her. If anything happens to her or the child in her womb, you’ll bear double the consequences.”

After listening to Carter’s warning, Ada turned her face away and gritted her teeth discreetly.

Shirley then realized that Ada kept appearing in her room from time to time because Carter had asked Ada to take care of Shirley.

Although Ada had been taking care of Shirley, it felt more like Ada was waiting on Shirley instead.

Shirley glanced at Ada with a smile, then shifted her gaze onto Carter again. “I’d like to speak with you privately.”

Carter nodded. “Sure.”

Camille took the hint and turned around without a word.

Ada followed closely behind her, fearing another run-in with Carter.

The two of them were soon the only ones left in the room.

Shirley went straight to the point. “Where are they? What else are you planning to do?”

Carter placed his hands in his pockets and lazily replied, “As you’ve said, your brother Adam is the best doctor in Glendale. I’ve asked him to treat you.

If I don’t see visible results in a month, I’ll have my own way of motivating him.”

Shirley became anxious upon hearing his words. ” Don’t harm him, Carter! “

“I didn’t intend to do anything to him initially, but he personally told me that he’s found out my purpose of coming to Glendale. What do you think I should do?”

Shirley’s face froze instantly; she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Carter bent down closer to her, a dangerous aura slowly enveloping Shirley.

“If I can’t convince him to join me, all I can do is make him submit and make him useful. After all, it’s rare to find a talent like him. Don’t you agree, mother of my child?”
