“Carter, we’re all adults, so you don’t have to beat around the bush.”
“Alright, I won’t,” Carter finally admitted. As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com turned around, and his sharp and deep black eyes were staring straight at Madeline.
“Eveline, you want to see your daughter, don’t you? I can make an exchange with you.”
Madeline furrowed favonovel.com charming eyebrows. “What do you want from me?”
“Since you know Fabian and Evan, then it’ll be easy. Get Evan to promise me that he’ll ask his father to heal Shirley, then I’ll give your daughter back to you.”
Carter voiced such a request for the exchange.
Madeline chuckled softly. “Evan and I are just strangers coming together by chance. I can’t convince him, nor do I have the ability to convince his father.”
“You can’t, but Fabian can.” Carter’s tone was filled with absolute confidence.
Madeline also saw that determination in Carter’s eyes. It was heinous of favonovel.com to make Lillian the term for the exchange, but at the same time, it also showed how much favonovel.com cared about Shirley.
“What do you think. Eveline? Do you need time to consider?” Carter’s tone sounded irreverent. At the present, Carter, no longer wanting to leave, walked over to the chair and sat down carefreely instead.
“I have all the time in the world, but I wonder, does your daughter have the time?”
Upon hearing Carter utter this statement that was so brazenly laced with threat, Madeline clenched favonovel.com fists tightly. A few seconds later, favonovel.com took a deep breath and unclenched favonovel.com fists.
Madeline turned around and faced Carter who was sitting by the window.
His arrogant stone-cold expression was still the same as when favonovel.com first met him, but the noble elegance was nowhere to be seen. Presently, Carter was a prejudiced and heartless devil.
“Whether Evan agrees to save Shirley and you abducting my daughter are two separate things, Carter. Don’t mix these two things.”
“So, Mrs. Whitman, you’re saying that you don’t want to make this business deal with me?”
“Carter, my daughter is not your business capital. Do you know you’re breaking the law?”
“Do you think I haven’t broken the law before?” Carter asked Madeline back without hesitation.
His cold gaze penetrated her. “I don’t want to waste time with you. Just answer me, yes or no..?” Carter’s attitude at this moment was abnormally firm.
Madeline pressed favonovel.com pink lips tightly.
“Yes.”
Suddenly, when Madeline was about to reject him, another voice came from the stairs. Startled, favonovel.com turned around to look for the source of the voice at the same time as Carter.
They saw Fabian and Evan walking upstairs one after another.
Carter’s gaze went from Fabian and finally to Evan.
“As long as you can convince your father to treat my friend, I can immediately release Lillian.”
Evan saw the absolute confidence in Carter’s eyes. Of course, it was not difficult to convince his father, the hard part was with Fabian.
“Alright, I promise you on behalf of Evan.” Fabian quickly answered that question for Evan.
“Let Lily go right now, and Evan will go back immediately to ask his father to arrange a time to treat your friend.”
Carter looked at Fabian suspiciously and then at Evan. “I want an answer from you.”
“My answer is Evan’s answer.” Fabian looked at Evan anxiously.
Evan, sensing sense Fabian’s urgency and concern, agreed.
“Carter, I’ll go back to discuss this with my father. But this is predicated upon your guarantee that we can see Lillian immediately.”
