Despite Carter’s aura being super oppressive, Madeline never showed any weakness.
He was strong, and favonovel.com was on edge.
However, because of the power difference between them, Carter utterly defeated Madeline from this aspect.
Madeline saw a never-before-seen mischievous smirk on Carter’s face that looked like an iceberg.
“I finally know what kind of face a woman with such beautiful eyes and calm grandeur has.”
It seemed as if Carter was lamenting when favonovel.com said the next two words in a thought-provoking manner, “Eveline Montgomery.”
“…”
Madeline sensed as if Carter had confirmed something. She clenched favonovel.com fists, and when favonovel.com was about to fight back, someone knocked at the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Carter, it’s me.” Camille’s voice sounded from outside.
Carter removed his hand that was trapping Madeline and lifted his narrow eyes indifferently.
“The door’s not locked.”
Click. Camille pushed the door open and came in quickly.
When favonovel.com saw Madeline standing next to Carter, favonovel.com walked in front of Madeline and started looking favonovel.com up and down meticulously.
Since favonovel.com knew favonovel.com would not have the time to go over to Adam’s place for treatment, Madeline had applied the gel beforehand, so favonovel.com face looked pristine and fair now. One could not see any red marks on favonovel.com face.
Madeline’s features were already exquisite enough even without makeup.
Madeline felt like a puppet that was being watched. However, favonovel.com could only allow Camille to look at favonovel.com as much as favonovel.com wanted.
“Your face is fine. Why did you lie and insist on wearing a mask?”
Camille asked in dissatisfaction. Then, favonovel.com said in a tone that was laced with sarcasm, “Could it be that you think you’re too beautiful and you’re scared people will be jealous of your beauty?”
After Madeline heard that, favonovel.com chuckled. “I guess there’s jealousy involved, but it’s not other people getting jealous of me that I’m worried about. It’s me who gets jealous of other people.”
“What? What do you mean?” Camille was confused.
Madeline wanted to say favonovel.com got plastic surgery to look like Eveline Montgomery, but before favonovel.com could say anything, Carter helped favonovel.com explain.
“Eveline’s face was indeed burned in a fire. Actually, she’s still in recovery. I just didn’t want anything to happen to favonovel.com face again, so that’s why I asked favonovel.com to not take off favonovel.com mask until now.”
She did not expect Carter to defend favonovel.com with such an explanation. Madeline was feeling more and more confused about this guy.
He saved favonovel.com life and even asked someone to treat favonovel.com wounds and face. Now, favonovel.com was indeed siding with her, so favonovel.com seemed like a good man.
However, sometimes, favonovel.com was abnormally frigid and his attitude was arrogant and disdainful. Just like how favonovel.com had flung favonovel.com hand away just now when they entered the study. He did not go easy on favonovel.com at all.
However, it was evident that Camille was not happy with this answer. Her eyebrows were still knitted together, and favonovel.com was looking at Madeline with hostility and suspicion.
“Carter, you’re so protective of your fiancée and in such a hurry to get engaged to her, but favonovel.com has never even thought about marrying you.”
Carter’s smile widened after favonovel.com heard that. “Eveline’s right. No one can be certain of what’s going to happen in the future. I’m happy as long as she’s the one next to me.”
“…” Madeline glanced at Carter while feeling impressed. She noticed that this man had the potential to be an actor.
Camille pressed favonovel.com lips together and seemed to be speechless.
“Carter, I don’t want to interfere with your business, but this is your marriage.”
Camille advised earnestly. Then, favonovel.com looked at Madeline. “She’s pretty, but favonovel.com beauty can only help favonovel.com pass the first stage.”
Camille left the room after favonovel.com said that. However, it was evident that favonovel.com was not happy with Madeline.
The moment Camille left the study, Ada and favonovel.com mother hurried over to her.
“Aunty Cammy!”
