Chapter 2101
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy looked calmly at Carter whose eyes were hostile. Jeremy curled his lips and smiled softly. â
Carter, look back at the grievances we had. I have always been in a passive and ignorant state.â
âPassive and ignorant?â Carter raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was ridiculous.
âHasnât he?â Madeline asked on behalf of Jeremy. She then asked sternly, âEver since you rescued me a t sea and allowed me to settle down in your residence, I knew that you had been investigating Jeremy. Carter, do you have the guts to say that you werenât finding a chance to get close to Jeremy this whole time? You know what your purpose was.
âThe series of things that happened afterward were all caused by you. If you hadnât asked Shirley to develop the anti -toxoid test reagent and use it on me, why would Jeremy choose to inject Shirley with that anti-toxoid test reagent in retaliation? You and Shirleyâs child was very innocent, but do you dare to say that you werenât the one who caused this?â
After hearing what Madeline said, Carter burst out laughing suddenly.
âAre you saying that Jeremyâs completely not at fault?â
âWhat fault does he have? He never knew why you wanted to investigate him from the beginning.â
âDoes this mean he can avoid the blame completely?â Carter asked angrily.
âJeremy has no responsibility in this whatsoever, nor is he obligated to pay for your failed plan! â
Madeline retorted, unwilling to show any weakness.
Carterâs eyes sank as if he had been triggered.
Afraid that Carter would do something irrational, Shirley hurriedly said to pacify him, âCarter, Eveline is right. Weâre the ones at fault first, so we canât blame anyone else! â
Carter, who was stopped by Shirley, raised his sullen eyes to meet Jeremyâs.
âJeremy, are you still a man? Are you just going to stay silent and hide behind your wife?â
Jeremy knew that Carter was deliberately saying this to trigger him, but he glanced at Madeline and smiled carefreely.
âHusband and wife should advance and retreat together. Itâs a matter of course that I dote on her and that she protects me. I âm very happy to stand behind my wife and to be protected by her.â
ââ¦â Upon hearing this, Carterâs face sank further.
When he was about to speak, he saw Jeremyâs expression changed, becoming very serious.
âCarter, you are right. We need to settle this once and for all. I want to settle this even more than you do.â
âOkay, letâs be thorough.â Carter escaped from Shirleyâs grip and strode forward.
Shirley, worried that something bad might happen, quickly followed suit.
âJeremy, how do you want to settle this?â
âOf course, I want to use the fastest and most agile way,â Jeremy said with a faint smile.
Carter furrowed his brows lightly. âWhat are you talking about?â
âIt is the most direct and fairest way to arrest you and send you back to your hometown to accept legal actions.â
Fabianâs voice came from the other side at this time. Carter was startled when he heard the words. â
What?â
He was puzzled, and at the same time, one of the men who pointed the gun quickly came to Carterâs side and subdued the unsuspecting and dazed Carter.
Before Carter could react, he was already restricted from moving.
In addition, he was injured, so he could not resist successfully.
âJeremy, is this the way you mentioned?â Carter looked at Jeremy with contempt. âJeremy, I look down on you.â
âDo you think I care whether you look down on me or not? â Jeremy asked indifferently. âYour feelings have never meant anything to me. Carter, the best outcome between me and you would be to let the law punish you and judge you for your crimes.â
âYouâ¦â
âI donât want to have any entanglement or involvement with you.â In the end, Jeremy glanced at Carter with disgust. âCarter, itâs time for you to recognize and atone for your mistakes.â
