Chapter 1964
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
She looked for Jeremy in the crowd, but she did not see him. She saw Shirley instead.
Shirley was silently seated in the wheelchair in a corner with a smile on her face.
Madeline met her gaze and smiled in a tacit mutual understanding.
âSo thatâs the socialite of the rich family in Glendale?â
âThe Grays had already looked her up. Eveline is indeed the socialite of the rich family in Glendale. Her family background is extraordinary.â
âNo wonder. No wonder Carter chose her. Itâs indeed helpful for his fight over the right to rule. â
Madeline could hear all the whispers around her. Even though they were soft, Madeline had good hearing.
Nevertheless, she pretended she did not hear anything and merely smiled.
Soon after, she saw an old man sitting at the front of the Royal Palace.
The man was sitting upright and still. Despite his old age, he emitted a very strong aura.
Madeline could tell that the old man was the person Carter mentioned earlier, but his clothes looked very simple and plain. Even though the old manâs expression was slightly serious, he had a very kind look in his eyes.
Carter quickly introduced them with a gentle smile, âEveline, this is the most respected elder of our Louis family, the current ruler of St. Piaf, and the beloved monarch of St. Piaf.â
After listening to Carterâs introduction, Madeline greeted with a polite smile, âHello, the noblest monarch of St. Piaf, I am Eveline.â
The old man nodded with a smile. âYou can call me grandpa just like Carter does.â
âGrandpa?
âSo, this is Carterâs grandpa?â
Madeline guessed inwardly but speculated that it was indeed possible.
This way, Carter and Jim would have the right to fight for the throne.
Madeline thought silently but did not greet him as grandpa. She just stood there and did not speak further.
Old Master Grayâs identity was extraordinary, but his gestures showed that he was a very amiable person.
âGirls from wealthy families are indeed extraordinaryâ, the Old Master praised and then slowly stood up. He looked at Carter again and added, âCarter has such good taste.â
Carter smiled modestly when he heard that. âIt was because of your blessing that I could meet a beautiful and perfect girl like Eveline, grandpa.â
âHaha!â The Old Master laughed out loud. âHow could I have given you such a blessing? This is your own good fortune.â
âYeah, this is indeed your own feat, Carter.â Jimâs voice came from one side. His tone was laced with a hidden meaning.
Carter, who seemed to have expected that Jim would come to cause trouble, was not flustered, and he put a smile on his face instead.
âJimmy, youâre even more skilled than I am. I believe youâll find an even more exceptional partner in the future.â
âHeh. No matter how skilled our Jimmy is, heâll never be able to compare with you, Carter. You can get married to the same woman twice, and this woman is even married, â Jimâs mother said suddenly, her tone sharp.
Furthermore, she had deliberately increased her voice, shocking the guests in the room.
Carter frowned and looked over in dissatisfaction, and then he saw Jimâs mother walking up to the Old Master fearlessly.
At this moment, the expression on the Old Masterâs face changed subtly.
âWhat do you mean? Did you say that Carter had married Miss Montgomery before?â
âNo, I didnât mean that. â Jimâs mother curled her red lips and smiled, feeling pleased with herself. âI mean, this woman has a husband.â
