Upon hearing that, Carter burst out laughing, but the smile on his face seemed spine-chilling.
“Of course, I believe you.”
“Really?” Ada looked expectantly at Carter who had just said favonovel.com believed her.
However, in the next second, Carter’s gaze darkened. “I believe in myself. I believe that someone like you would indeed do something like that.”
“…”
Ada’ s widened as favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heartbeat grew more erratic. Presently, Carter’s eyes gaze bore a hint of ruthless murderous intent.
He cared about Shirley, and favonovel.com cared about favonovel.com very particularly. That was why favonovel.com now believed what Madeline had said.
When Ada saw Carter closing in on her, one step at a time, Ada felt as though favonovel.com heart would leap out of favonovel.com mouth. If favonovel.com admitted to this, favonovel.com knew what would happen to her. However, if favonovel.com did not, what other excuses could favonovel.com find…
Just as favonovel.com was still silently coming up with an excuse in favonovel.com heart, Carter had already forced favonovel.com to a dead-end. She could no longer back away.
“Carter. Carter, listen to me. It’s not like what Eveline said. I didn’t set the fire. Adam and Cathy’s deaths have nothing to do with me. Carter, I… Ugh… ”
Before Ada could continue, Carter suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Ada’s neck.
Ada’s eyes widened immediately. Pained, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com mouth to cough, but favonovel.com could not make a sound.
“You’re really something else,” Carter said sarcastically. His gaze looked calm but there was a hint of austere chill in them. “Do you think that, if Shirley were to never get better, I’d set my heart on a woman like you? Do you think you’re worthy? You don’t even have the right to call me by my name.”
“…”
When Ada heard Carter’s disdainful statements, favonovel.com eyes, as well as favonovel.com face, reddened. It was unclear if it was due to Carter’s words or due to favonovel.com difficulty breathing.
Carter did not loosen his grip because of Ada’s tears and pain but increased his grip instead.
Madeline, who was watching them from one side, seemed to see Jeremy’s shadow in Carter at that moment.
It was also at that moment when Madeline truly believed that Carter had genuine feelings for Shirley.
The level of concern a man had toward a woman could determine whether favonovel.com would do something like this.
Ada had clearly been caught red -handed, and favonovel.com also verified Carter’s relationship with Shirley.
“Carter, let go.” Camille walked over to talk Carter down. Although she, too, despised Ada, Camille was much calmer than Carter. “If you choked favonovel.com to death, Shirley’s legs and face still won’t improve. Adam and Cathy won’t come back to life either.”
“Then I’ll bury favonovel.com next to them.” Carter’s gaze darkened and the shadowy chill enveloped Ada.
Ada opened favonovel.com mouth, still intending to explain herself, but favonovel.com could not utter a single word. There was only a continuous stream of tears falling out of the corners of favonovel.com eyes.
Camille, frustrated at the sight, reached out favonovel.com hand and grabbed Carter’s hand. “Carter, listen to me, let favonovel.com go first.”
Carter was annoyed but for Camille’s sake, favonovel.com finally let go of his hand. However, favonovel.com did not merely let go. He threw Ada out fiercely.
Ada crashed against the cabinet, then fell onto the floor, and let out an agonizing yelp.
“Ah!”
