Chapter 1932
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Even if he had to go into a tigerâs den, Jeremy would barge in without hesitation.
Carter already knew what Jeremy would do.
He walked in front of Jeremy and led the way into the living room. He then told a maid, âGo and ask the future young madam to come downstairs.â
The maid obediently followed suit and went upstairs to a certain room.
Future young madam?
Jeremy was suspicious. He knew that, back then, Carter had been married to Ada.
Ada had been arrested for the crimes she committed and was still in prison, but Carter and Ada had probably canceled their marriage during this time.
However, was Carter getting married again so soon? Was Shirley the bride?
Jeremy was suspicious, but this was the only possibility.
Carter could guess Jeremyâs thoughts from the look in Jeremyâs eyes. He lifted the corner of his lips and glanced in a certain direction on the second floor.
âYou must be wondering who is the woman Iâll be marrying soon, arenât you, Mr. Whitman? Youâll meet her soon.â
After Carter had spoken, there were movements at the top of the stairs.
For some reason, Jeremy felt his heart racing. The moment he lifted his eyes, he saw the face that he had been thinking about day and night.
âLinnie! â Jeremy called Madelineâs name and ran to the stairs.
Madeline, however, stopped in her tracks, her beautiful eyes, filled with curiosity, scanned Jeremyâs face before looking at Carter.
âCarter, who is this? Is he calling me?â
Jeremyâs body went cold when he heard that.
He now understood what Carter had meant earlier. He also understood what Carter had meant by advanced hypnosis.
With a smile on his face, Carter calmly looked up at Madeline explained patiently, â Fear not, Eveline.
Heâs my friend, and heâs here to attend our wedding.â
Madelineâs expression relaxed gradually when she heard Carterâs explanation. âI see.â
She walked toward Jeremy with a smile as she spoke. She then reached out her hand. âHello, sir.
Thank you for taking the time to attend our wedding. I am Carterâs fiancée, Eveline Montgomery.â
Upon looking at Madelineâs outstretched hand and hearing her introduction, Jeremy felt as if he was stabbed in the heart.
However, he knew he could not explain anything to her so recklessly.
How could he so simply wake a person who had been deeply hypnotized?
Jeremy looked at Madelineâs gentle and beautiful face then reached out to shake her hand.
âHello, Miss Montgomery.â
Madeline nodded and smiled, and then let go of Jeremyâs hand and walked to Carter.
Jeremy could only watch this happen; he could only watch Carter smiling triumphantly.
As Carter was slowly reaching his goal, he was feeling very bold and pleased with himself.
Jeremy unclenched his fists. He could only remain calm and collected.
However, after he thought about it, Jeremy still felt that he could not stay silent. He also did not want to see Madeline siding with other men. He walked over with a smile. âMiss Montgomery, do you have something you forgot to ask me?â
