Chapter 1919
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy took the tablet from Ken and saw a video on the screen.
Even though the person in the video was wearing sunglasses, Carterâs features were still fairly recognizable.
âHe has indeed returned to Glendale.â
Jeremy said in confirmation. He believed that Carter had spread the news of him going back to St. Piaf and then returned in secret, and his purpose of doing that was to make a move against Madeline.
Frustrated, Jeremy tossed the tablet and frowned, then got up and walked to the French window.
He looked at the nooks and crannies of the bustling city under the sun. His heart, however, was dark.
He had blundered. He had miscalculated.
All along, Carterâs target had been Madeline, not their children.
Carter stubbornly believed that Shirley gave up on his child and then tried to kill herself because Jeremy had injected Shirley with AXP69.
That was why Carter wanted to seek revenge on Jeremy.
The person Jeremy cared about the most in this world was none other than Madeline.
Presently, Carter, who was on a chartered plane that was about to take off, received a call from an unknown caller.
After looking at the unfamiliar number, he figured this was Jeremy.
He looked at Madeline, who was currently deeply asleep, and nonchalantly picked up the phone, pretending to ask curiously.
âWho is this?â
âCarter, itâs me, Jeremy.â Jeremy quickly told Carter who he was.
On this side, Carter deliberately stayed silent for two seconds before speaking.
âJeremy, I donât think thereâs anything you need to contact me about.â
âCarter, stop pretending. I know youâve abducted my wife. If anything, just come at me directly. Donât bully a weak woman.â
âWeak?â
Carter repeated that word with a fake smile, then looked at Madeline who was sleeping next to him.
He thought that the word âweakâ was absolutely unbefitting of Madeline.
He even admired Madeline because he thought she was the most tenacious and unyielding woman he ever met.
â I donât know what youâre talking about, Jeremy. Donât disturb me. I neither want to hear your voice nor want to see you,â Carter said as he was about to hang up the phone.
âCarter, youâre contradicting yourself. You said you want to avenge your dead child, but now youâre saying you donât want to see me. You want to exact your vengeance on me, but how will you savor it if you donât see me suffering?â
Tch.
When Carter heard what Jeremy said, his sharp eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
âCarter, youâre a man too. Come at me. Donât drag my wife into this.â
âHeh. â Carter let out a cold chuckle after a while.
His dark gaze landed softly on Madelineâs sleeping face.
âYouâre right. I want to exact vengeance on you, but the best way to do that is to let you experience the pain of losing someone you love.â
âCarter! â
âFor you, nothing hurts more than losing Eveline, right? â
âCarter, donât hurt Linnie! â
âNo, I wonât hurt my future wife.â
âCarter, what did you say? What is the meaning of this? â When Jeremy heard Carterâs words, heavy with implication, his heart started beating erratically. He was extremely anxious.
âCarter, say something. What are you going to do?â
