Chapter 1925
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline abruptly lifted her head when she heard the voice, and she saw a surprised Camille.
Madeline smiled faintly. âMadam Gray, why do you think Iâm here? Your son invited me here, of course.â
ââ¦..â Camille was momentarily silent. She understood what Madeline was saying. Carter had obviously brought her here against her will.
Camille did not know what to say to Madeline. At this moment, Shirley reached out and grabbed her hand.
âAunty Cammy, I know you hate me because I left without a word back then, but I hope you can promise me something, for the sake of our past relationship.â
Shirley grabbed Camilleâs hand tightly. âLet Eveline go.â
Camille was stunned when she heard that. She did not reject her directly. It was clear that there was a slight hesitation.
She looked at Madeline. Camille was already moved.
âAunty Cammy, Eveline is innocent. Donât drag her into my relationship with Carter again.â
The corners of Shirleyâs eyes grew warmed as she spoke.
âOur child had ended up like that because of my sins. It had nothing to do with Jeremy and Eveline at all. Aunty Cammy, you donât want to see Carter repeating the same mistakes again and again, do you?â
Shirleyâs words went straight to Camilleâs heart. Of course, she did not want Carter to keep repeating the same mistakes.
Carter was fighting for the right to rule so he could not make any mistakes right now.
Additionally, she thought that what Shirley was saying made sense.
âOkay, Iâll walk you out of this door myself, â Camille promised and turned around to walk Madeline out.
However, at this moment, Carterâs carefree figure appeared behind them.
âNo one is allowed to set her free.â Carterâs tone was calm, but his words were laced with his firm attitude.
Camille turned around and glanced at Madeline, then walked up to Carter and lowered her voice to speak.
âCarter, what are you doing? Why did you bring Eveline here again? Have you forgotten what happened the last time you brought her here?â
Carter lifted his cold eyes slightly. âOf course, I havenât forgotten. Itâs because I remember, so I want to change history.â
â⦠What do you mean?â Camille did not understand. However, she did not forget to advise, â Carter, donât forget what you should be doing now. Eveline will only cause trouble for you if sheâs around. Plus, your child with Shirleyâ¦â
âI know what Iâm doing. Eveline is the key to smoothly obtain the right to rule.â
â⦠What?â
Carterâs answer confused Camille.
However, she knew that no matter what she said, Carter would not let Madeline go.
As for Madeline, she knew she would not be able to leave this place so easily, so was not beyond her expectations.
She was mentally prepared for the worst.
Shirley glared at Carter. She knew she would not be able to help Madeline no matter what she did.
Madeline was brought back to the guest room she stayed in before.
She still remembered the day Jeremy came looking for her and wanted to take her away. She had regained consciousness back then, but she had to pretend to not know Jeremy.
Come to think of it, he must have been devastated and disappointed back then.
