Chapter 1965
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jimâs mother exposed Carter with no regard for his image. She had no intention of giving Carter any chance.
As she said that, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Before deciding to have a wedding with Madeline, Carter had already made preparations a long time ago. He had asked those who knew that he and Madeline almost had a wedding to remain silent.
However, what he had not expected was that Jimâs mother would expose such information at such a time.
Nonetheless, this was also predictable.
Jim wanted to fight for the royal sucession, and of course, his mother wanted to help him.
Just like how Camille helped Carter.
Old Master Grayâs expression gradually looked displeased, and then he looked at Carter and spoke with a much calmer tone.
âCarter, this is a big deal. Is your aunt telling the truth?â
âDad, how would I dare to speak nonsense during such an occasion?â Jimâs mother was confident; she had her card up her sleeve.
However, Carter did not panic at all. He smiled softly and parted his lips slowly.
âAunty, if you want to say this, then yes, Eveline is indeed a married woman because a few months ago, Eveline and I had already signed the marriage certificate. After that, for some reason, Eveline and I never held the wedding.â
Carter spoke with a faint smile, looking slyly at Jimâs mother.
âAunty, I know you really want Jimmy to win the right to rule. Thatâs why you want to cause trouble at my wedding with Eveline so that grandpa will change his impression of me. But do you think grandpa will believe your one -sided statement so easily?â
Carter said and turned to face the guests again.
âI believe everyone remembers receiving my wedding invitation a few months ago. I was about to marry Eveline but because of the appearance of a man who claimed to be Evelineâs husband, the wedding was temporarily terminated. In fact, that man was just a delirious, mentally ill patient, and these are well documented.â
After he was finished speaking, he did not forget to look at Jimâs mother with a serious face.
âAunty, I know you really want to fight for Jimmyâs right to rule, but if you use this method to slander me, it will only ruin grandpaâs image of Jimmy.â
Upon hearing Carterâs words, Jimâs motherâs face fell, and she snapped back in anger.
âCarter, how dare you say that Iâm slandering you! What I said is all true! What mentally ill patient? That man is Evelineâs real husband! â
Jimâs mother spoke with her arms folded and sneered coldly. âHmph. Carter, do you think we donât know? You married Eveline just to use her background to increase your chances in the fight for the right to rule. You are using her!
âDad, Carter is a very devious man. If you were to give St. Piaf to him, you wouldnât be able to imagine what St. Piaf will become! â
Old Master Gray hated it when people involved politics in his family matters. At this moment, his expression looked displeased.
Carter knew what the Old Master was thinking, and he smiled magnanimously.
âGrandpa, this is all a misunderstanding. How can I marry a married woman? Besides, Eveline isnât an ordinary person. How would she marry me if she knows she has a husband? This is bigamy. Do you think that this is possible?â
Carter lifted his eyes to look at Madeline who was silent the entire time. He then slowly parted his lips.
âEveline, why donât you tell everyone in case everyone misunderstands you.â
Madeline blinked her beautiful eyes. When she was about to speak, she heard Jim chuckling next to her.
âAsk her? Heh.â Jimâs eyes were filled with disdain. âEveryone knows that the noble viscount has an extraordinary skill of hypnosis. Eveline has been hypnotized by you long before this.â
Carter, instead of being angry when he was exposed, smiled. âThis is a joke. How can Eveline be hypnotized?â
He looked at Madelina after he had said that with a serious face.
âEveline, tell everyone. Did I hypnotize you?â
