Before Shirley could finish speaking, favonovel.com stopped.
Madeline heard footsteps approaching favonovel.com from behind, and the temperature of Shirley’s hand that was holding favonovel.com plummeted as if favonovel.com was frightened. Madeline, realizing something was off, so favonovel.com turned favonovel.com head to take a look.
Shirley’s hand that was holding Madeline’s hand fell slowly, and favonovel.com murmured inaudibly. In the end, favonovel.com did not say the final words. “You…”
Madeline could vaguely hear Shirley mumbling a word, but favonovel.com could not hear it clearly. Madeline turned around and saw Carter who had suddenly appeared behind her, and favonovel.com pulled herself together.
When Carter saw Madeline, favonovel.com smiled faintly at her.
He walked carefreely to Madeline and looked at Shirley who stared at favonovel.com with a conflicted look, then favonovel.com opened his mouth.
“Mrs. Whitman, are you so free to visit the enemy who had poisoned and tormented your and your husband?” Carter sounded very sarcastic. It was obvious favonovel.com was provoking her.
Madeline calmly looked at Carter, who was smirking arrogantly, then calmly said, “Carter, do you really think my husband and I don’t know anything?”
“What do you mean?” Carter frowned.
Madeline boldly met Carter’s probing and questioning eyes.
“Shirley did everything for you, including developing the poison. It was all your idea. She had merely been following your orders the whole time.”
Madeline said and looked at Shirley behind her.
“At most, favonovel.com had been a fool blinded by love. Her pure heart was deceived by the person favonovel.com loved and your sweet talk.”
Carter laughed when favonovel.com heard what Madeline said.
He looked at Madeline, his smile brimming with mockery.
“Eveline, do you see your previous self in Shirley?”
“Just spit it out,” Madeline said decisively.
Carter looked at Madeline and said with a smile, “Back then, you, too, were blinded by love like a fool. You loved Jeremy with all your heart and then favonovel.com severely hurt you. Yet, you still forgave favonovel.com like a fool.”
Madeline did not want to think about favonovel.com painful past when Carter brought it up. She looked at Carter, and when favonovel.com was about to retort, Carter took two steps toward her, and his eyes were right in front of favonovel.com eyes.
“Eveline, look into my eyes. Don’t try to find excuses for Jeremy. You were foolish back then. Jeremy didn’t love you. He was so ruthless because favonovel.com didn’t love you. While favonovel.com kept on letting you down, favonovel.com was happily holding another woman.”
“…”
Madeline knew Carter was saying that on purpose, but favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com emotions were getting affected unconsciously, and favonovel.com felt an intense pain in favonovel.com heart. It was during this moment of daze and pain, Madeline heard Shirley’s voice behind her.
“Don’t look! Don’t look into his eyes, Eveline! He’s hypnotizing you!”
As Shirley said that, favonovel.com used all favonovel.com might to pull Madeline’s wrist.
Madeline came back to favonovel.com senses immediately. Her heart, which was beating painfully a second ago, instantly returned to normal.
