Ada kept Jeremy and Madeline on tenterhooks, the corner of favonovel.com lips curled.
“Before learning how I met Shirley, I think you should know something else first.”
Jeremy’s eyes filled with disgust seeing Ada making a show out of this.
“I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense. Just tell us if you want to. If you waste any more time, you should just get out immediately.”
“…”
After suffering two consecutive defeats, Ada no longer dared to put on a mysterious act.
However, favonovel.com hesitated for a moment before speaking, as if considering something.
“Carter gave Shirley favonovel.com name.”
‘Carter and Shirley knew each other?’
The revelation about that relationship caught Madeline and Jeremy by surprise.
Jeremy finally understood. The person who had been manipulating Shirley was Carter.
“When Carter was ten years old, favonovel.com brought Shirley back to the Gray Manor. Ever since then, they had been living together, spending time with each other, day and night. Although I could be considered as Carter’s childhood sweetheart, honestly, compared to Shirley, I’m still a bit far off.”
Ada was visibly unhappy and discontent as favonovel.com said these last words.
The man favonovel.com liked since childhood had never cared about her.
“I don’t know where Shirley came from. I just know that had stayed by Carter’s side for over ten years. In fact, for a long time, I could tell that Shirley liked Carter, but Carter doesn’t reciprocate favonovel.com feelings. She was just a homeless child abandoned by favonovel.com parents, yet favonovel.com hoped to become a viscountess? She’s obviously dreaming!”
Ada gritted favonovel.com teeth. Jealousy was an ugly look on her.
She snorted. “She’s pretty tactful though. She had left the Grays on favonovel.com own accord a few years ago. From that time on, the Grays never mentioned favonovel.com again. She had never resurfaced, as if favonovel.com was dead, yet now she’s suddenly returned! I saw it all!”
Ada recalled the scene favonovel.com had witnessed not long ago at the Gray Manor’s entrance as well as the scene at the convenience store entrance, where Madeline and Shirley had confronted each other.
“I didn’t expect favonovel.com to turn out like this after leaving for a few years. She seems more charming and coquettish than before. Tch, did favonovel.com think that favonovel.com could come back and fight me for the position of the viscountess just because favonovel.com got prettier?”
Ada’s fists were tightly clenched. A while later, favonovel.com relaxed. “Okay, I’ve told you everything I know. Now, it’s your turn to help me.”
Jeremy coldly glanced at Ada. “The things you’ve said don’t seem useful to us in any way.”
“…” Taken aback, Ada suddenly felt anxious. “What do you mean it’s useless? If it wasn’t for me, would you have known the relationship between Shirley and Carter? Mr. Whitman, you’re a businessman, and all businesses run on trust.”
“Trust? You dare talk about trust with me?” Jeremy chuckled, immediately lifting his fierce narrow eyes. “That day, in this exact spot, you had told me that you had wanted to make a deal with me as well. What happened then? You were just colluding with Carter, leading me into the trap. Do you think I’d still trust your words?”
“…” Ada grew more anxious hearing that. “I was forced to do that!”
“Forced? Then, did Carter force you to call the police at the wedding?”
“…” Ada’s mouth dangled open; favonovel.com face suddenly turned crimson. She did not know how to explain herself.
“Get out. Now.” Jeremy kicked favonovel.com out. “If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone kick you out.”
“…”
Ada would never have compromised, but favonovel.com did not expect Jeremy to call the hotel security to kick favonovel.com out.
“Jeremy, how could you do this? I’m here to make a deal with you! How could you not keep your word?” Ada yelled and shrieked again in disbelief.
Jeremy, too tired to deal with her, closed the door immediately. After a while, Ada’s voice gradually disappeared.
Jeremy’s lower lip pulled down as favonovel.com contemplated the information that Ada had just unveiled. As favonovel.com turned and lifted his head, favonovel.com saw the petite woman standing a short distance in front of him, gazing at favonovel.com with a weird look.
