Chapter 1916

Carter looked at Madeline with a faint smile. “You got it all right. In fact, you’ve already noticed something and suspected that something was wrong with the drink, isn’t that right? That was still very smart of you, Eveline, but it’s too late.”

Madeline looked warily at Carter who had a sly smile on his face. She tried to use her cell phone to call Jeremy inconspicuously, but the bodyguard on the side suddenly came over and snatched Madeline’s cell phone away.

“Give that back!” Madeline reached out to grab it. However, Carter took a step toward her suddenly.

Carter was tall. Although Madeline was not short, there was still a height difference between them when she was standing in front of the man.

Carter’s figure oppressed her.

Madeline wanted to escape, but Carter suddenly grabbed her wrist and cornered Madeline between the wall and himself.

Madeline frowned. She raised her eyes and looked into Carter’s deep eyes.

“Now, Eveline, look into my eyes. What do you see?” Carter asked.

Madeline was dazed for two seconds, then she quickly avoided Carter’s sight.

“Carter, don’t even think about hypnotizing me anymore. I won’t be fooled again, and I won’t be at your mercy again! ”

As Madeline spoke, she raised her foot, attempting to kick the most vulnerable part of the man.

However, Carter seemed to have already seen through Madeline’s intentions early on. He countered Madeline and inhibited her movements.

“I don’t want you to suffer any physical pain, but if you want to continue resisting, I can only be rough with you.”

“Carter, you are so despicable.”

“I just want to let you have a taste of your own medicine, ” Carter said lightly. “My child became a pool of blood because of Jeremy. I have to make him pay the price.”

He paused momentarily, then resumed speaking.

“While Jeremy loves those three children as well, but in the end, they don’t compare to you.”

Upon hearing Carter’s words, Madeline instantly understood what Shirley had not said at the time.

Shirley said, “Eveline, listen to me, you and your family will be in danger, especially…”

You.

Carter had arrived before Shirley could utter the last word.

It turned out that Carter’s goal was her from the beginning, and the children were just a cover.

He had deliberately made them think that way so that Madeline would neglect her own safety.

“I’ll take you back to St. Piaf now. Jeremy may not be able to find you, or maybe he’ll soon learn that I have taken you away, but it’ll useless. Because by then, you will already have been brainwashed by me and you will be obeying all of my orders.”

Carter spoke with absolute confidence as he said this.

Judging from what he said, he was determined to mind control Madeline.

However, Madeline would not give Carter such an opportunity no matter what. She did not want to let Jeremy, unable to find her, experience the anxiety and uneasiness of not knowing whether she was safe or not.

Carter’s strength, however, was so great that Madeline was nearly immobilized in his arms.

“Eveline, I’m bringing you downstairs now, but if you dare resist or shout, you will never see your secretary again.”

Carter threatened and then he gave the bodyguard a look.

The bodyguard came over and took out a pair of sunglasses and a coat.

This meant they wanted Madeline to change to prevent her from being recognized by others.

“Change your coat and put on the sunglasses,” Carter demanded.

Madeline glanced at Coco, who was innocently encumbered, and glared at Carter with blazing eyes.

“Let go of your hand and I will wear it myself.”
