Chapter 1951

Madeline looked up and saw a tall man wearing limited edition sportswear with a tote bag strapped diagonally across his broad shoulders. He looked as if he had just returned from exercising.

This man seemed to be in his twenties. His features were defined and resolute, and he looked very handsome too. Nevertheless, this handsome man also looked like a frivolous yuppie. Overall, he looked like an unruly hedonist.

Madeline took another look at the man and realized that the expression in the man’s eyes looked similar to Carter’s.

It seemed that he should be Carter’s cousin.

After a while, the man walked up beside Madeline, curled the corners of his thin lips into a frivolous smile, and introduced himself, as expected.

“Hi, future cousin-in-law. This is the first time we have met. I am Carter’s cousin, Jim.”

Jim Gray.

Madeline digested this name and found that it was foreign.

She stood up with a slight smile and politely extended her hand in a friendly greeting. “Hello, I am Eveline Montgomery.”

“Eveline.” Jim seemed to be thinking about the name carefully, and then, with a cynical grin, he reached out to hold Madeline’s hand. “The name Eveline sounds beautiful, but it doesn’t match Carter’s name very well.”

After saying that with a grin, he let go, started walking toward the woman resplendent with jewels from earlier, and sat down.

The woman looked at Jim with a beaming grin. “ Jimmy, have you finished playing? Are you tired?

Have a drink first.”

“Thank you, mom.” Jim thanked her politely.

“ I’m your mother, why are you thanking me?” the woman said to Jim with a smile. The smile on her face was extremely bright.

Oh.

It turned out that this woman was Jim’s mother, so no wonder she had snapped at Carter just now.

It seemed that Carter would not get the position of the royal inheritance so easily.

“I think you must be tired from playing ball just now, Jimmy, for you to say such a mindless thing.

Whether two of us are a match isn’t based on our names. Eveline and I will be having our wedding tomorrow. It’s inappropriate for you to say that.”

Carter only spoke now. Despite the slight smile on his face, one could see that he was quite dissatisfied.

Madeline turned her head and smiled lightly at Carter. “Carter, I think Jim was just joking. I don’t mind, so don’t take it to heart.”

“My future cousin-in-law is so generous, ” Jim praised Madeline. “ I’m certainly a little tired from playing, but my mind is very clear.”

Jim sounded like he was joking, but suddenly his tone became somewhat thought-provoking.

“If someone thinks that getting a wife can help him win the right of inheritance, that’ll be such a brainless behavior.”

Jim said and cast his gaze to Carter. “Carter, do you think I’m right?”

It was clear that he was talking about Carter, and the displeased look was evident on Carter’s icy face.

Just as Carter was about to speak, Camille raised her hand and gently touched Carter’s arm, which seemed to calm Carter down.

Carter did not speak, but he merely smiled slightly instead.

At this moment, Camille said, “Jimmy, this matter is about the royal inheritance. It’s pointless for us to discuss further since the decision is in the hands of the higher-ups.”

“Aunty Cammy is right. ” Jim smiled and nodded in agreement. “So, those people better not use some improper means to fight for this position again.

They can do it once, but this doesn’t mean they can do it again.”

Jim’s words clearly meant Carter’s previous marriage with Ada.

Madeline saw Carter’s fingers bending one by one. It seemed that Carter was holding back the anger in his heart, and he was close to losing his cool.

Jim’s mother noticed Carter’s displeasure, and the smile on her face grew bigger. However, Jim ate and drank the glass of wine in his hand, his face not betraying much emotions.

It could be said that they ended this dinner in displeasure.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was tense.
