“Jeremy, did something happen?”
“I don’t know how I should say this. In short, after we’ve met Carter tonight, we leave this place immediately.”
“Yeah, okay.” Madeline still felt that this was strange, but favonovel.com did not enquire further.
However, favonovel.com could clearly feel that Jeremy’s palm, which was holding hers, turned slightly cold.
‘Jeremy, what are you scared of? Or is this because of the poison?’
Madeline pondered anxiously. This feeling persisted until 7 p.m.
Camille called. She told Madeline that Carter was already waiting in the hotel restaurant, and Madeline could head over now.
However, Camille also added a reminder. “Carter said he’ll only meet with you alone, so do ask your husband to wait for you someplace else and not at the restaurant, lest Carter changes his mind from displeasure.”
Madeline too wanted this to go smoothly, so favonovel.com agreed.
Although Jeremy was worried about Madeline, favonovel.com was an unreasonable person.
When Madeline went to the restaurant by herself, favonovel.com followed favonovel.com until the outside of the restaurant. However, before favonovel.com could get close, favonovel.com could see Carter’s bodyguards standing outside the restaurant.
Jeremy could only watch Madeline enter from afar. He saw Carter sitting alone at a spot with the best view in the restaurant. His impeccable attire bestowed upon favonovel.com the image of an honorable gentleman and an elegant nobleman.
However, this gentle and lofty exterior belied his shrewdness, greatly contrasting with his appearance.
There was, however, a man standing next to Carter. This polite-looking man, wearing a pair of glasses and with a stack of documents in his hands, seemed like a lawyer.
With a glance, Jeremy could tell that Carter had booked the entire level of the restaurant.
If they were merely terminating the marriage contract, why was favonovel.com making a big deal about it?
Jeremy kept feeling that something was amiss, but this is not the time to be rash.
From the moment favonovel.com entered the restaurant, Madeline, however, also felt that something was wrong.
‘Carter specially booked the entire restaurant for this?’ It was obvious that this would not be as simple as terminating the wedding contract.
Madeline walked straight to where Carter was at, and favonovel.com saw, on the table, the two documents they had signed in front of everyone back then.
At the time, Carter had lied to her, saying that this was just an engagement contract. She thought that favonovel.com was helping him, so favonovel.com believed him.
Despite feeling greatly repulsed by Carter, Madeline still maintained favonovel.com demeanor. “Mr. Gray, thank you for letting me off the hook. I’m here now, so could we proceed with the legal procedure?”
Carter’s lips pressed into a smile when favonovel.com heard that. “We’ll get to that, but first, have a seat.”
“Oh, I don’t think that’s necessary. My husband is waiting for me outside,” Madeline rejected blatantly.
Carter lifted his eyes lightly and glanced out of the restaurant, but his face was indifferent. Once again, favonovel.com opened his mouth and gestured at Madeline.
“Sit.”
Madeline remembered what Camille had said, so favonovel.com did not want to go against him.
After all, it all depended on Carter whether the procedure would be dealt with successfully.
She sat down. Then, the waitperson carried over one delicate dish after another. In the end, they even poured separate glasses of red wine for Madeline and Carter.
Carter leisurely took his glass and gently swirled the contents in the glass. “I’m still technically your savior. Since we’ll be parting ways and we won’t see each other ever again, we should just down this wine and part on good terms, is that okay?”
Madeline eyed the wine glass in front of her. She picked it up and sniffed it vigilantly. Once favonovel.com had ascertained that it contained no foreign substance, favonovel.com casually downed the wine.
“Will this do?”
Carter looked at the emptied wine glass and seemed to let out a knowing laugh. “That’ll do.”
