Shirley paused abruptly in the middle of drinking favonovel.com wine.
Ryan…
She could still remember it clearly.
Carter mentioning this inevitably brought about feelings of apprehension in her.
“Carter, why did you mention Ryan suddenly? Unless… Unless Eveline noticed something?” Shirley asked very cautiously, lacking confidence in fear of provoking Carter.
A sneer appeared on Carter’s icy face. “She wouldn’t have thanked me just now for saving favonovel.com life if favonovel.com knew.”
Shirley quietly breathed a sigh of relief when favonovel.com heard this.
“He was digging his own grave.” Carter’s eyes were full of contempt. “He’d debase himself in such a manner for a woman.”
“Carter, w-would you?” Shirley probed, favonovel.com eyes were filled with both anticipation and apprehension.
Carter looked at favonovel.com coldly. “Would I what? Would I forget what I should be doing because of you or any other women?”
“…” Shirley’s heart turned cold seeing Carte’s cold gaze, but this answer was to be expected.
She had known Carter for years. Not merely for a year or two, nor three to five, but eighteen years.
Despite being five years older than Carter, favonovel.com was helplessly within the grasp of the man who could have been favonovel.com younger brother.
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, was it because, when favonovel.com had wandered the streets in hunger and ragged clothes, abandoned by favonovel.com parents, this man had gotten out of the car, handed favonovel.com a piece of hot cheesecake, and then said, “Do you want to come home with me?”
Home.
She had no home at the time.
Her parents were remarkable medical scientists, who possessed superb IQ and skills.
Smart and a fast learner since young, favonovel.com became very accomplished in the field of medicine. She had regarded favonovel.com parents as role models, and favonovel.com had even dreamt of becoming a medical scientist like them.
However, favonovel.com was disliked by favonovel.com biological parents, suffering from their son preference. Her parents only had eyes for favonovel.com brother, Adam.
Unwilling to be forgotten and ignored this way, when favonovel.com turned fifteen, favonovel.com skipped class and school, wandering on the path of homelessness.
To survive, favonovel.com had stolen food from the supermarket and money when nobody noticed. When favonovel.com did get caught, favonovel.com would suffer a beating and scolding. Other times, favonovel.com would be dragged to the police station.
Since favonovel.com was still young, each time only resulted in a lecture; favonovel.com did not need to bear any substantial legal responsibility.
After suffering through hardships and the bitter cold, favonovel.com then learned the bliss of feeling cherished and warm.
When favonovel.com had needed food and a bed to sleep in the most, Carter had given favonovel.com delicious food and luxurious lodging beyond that of ordinary people.
For ten years, favonovel.com had stayed with Carter as a study companion.
She had stayed until favonovel.com went to university and graduated, becoming a psychologist and a professor in the academic field of hypnosis, where favonovel.com stood at the pinnacle of glory.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com had overturned favonovel.com original dream. She had become a vicious woman who only harmed others, never saving them.
Of course, every command had come from Carter.
Carter’s goal was to take the throne of St. Piaf. He was not satisfied with the status of a mere viscount.
In this regard, favonovel.com had already seen through Carter’s ambition and desire for years.
With an extremely cold and indifferent personality, favonovel.com rarely smiled. His face was perpetually like an iceberg, devoid of any expression of joy.
She sometimes wondered if Carter was indeed such a cold-blooded and ruthless man. She had been with favonovel.com for more than ten years, yet favonovel.com held no romantic feelings toward favonovel.com at all, not even a little. He was even dismissive of her.
However, when they had first met back then, favonovel.com had given favonovel.com such a warm smile.
“I have to take down Glendale. Eveline is now the key to all of this.”
Carter’s voice, with its bewitching and sensual charm, slipped into Shirley’s ears gently and slowly. She then roused from favonovel.com reverie, picking up Carter’s words.
“I will do my best to help you.”
