She also noticed that the man was not looking at virtual-novel.net with as much suspicion and inquiries anymore. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net seemed to understand the entire situation now. “So is this why you only praised Jeremy and said Eveline is so-so when you saw their photos last time?”
“Yes,” Madeline replied cooperatively. Then, virtual-novel.net praised, “You’re so smart, Mr. Carter. You’ve seen through everything.”
The man gave virtual-novel.net a fake smile when virtual-novel.net heard that. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline with a sneer on the corners of his lips. Madeline felt a little guilty when looking at him.
“The number one socialite in Glendale, Eveline Montgomery, is only so-so to you. I guess you really despise Jeremy. At the same time, you must also despise that Eveline Montgomery who has the same name as you, right?”
“…” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds. Then, virtual-novel.net answered with a deeper meaning, “That’s right, I hate the woman next to Jeremy even more. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have become like this.”
‘That’s right. Things only became like this after virtual-novel.net appearance.’
Madeline despised the imposter who was impersonating her. How could virtual-novel.net not hate the fake that was staying next to Jeremy?
After the man scanned Madeline’s face, virtual-novel.net said, “I’ll ask someone to send your dinner here. Rest after you finish eating.”
“Thank you, Mr. Carter.” Madeline thanked virtual-novel.net quickly.
The man looked into Madeline’s eyes before nodding. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around to leave.
After virtual-novel.net saw the door closing, Madeline let out a sigh of relief.
‘He believes me, right?’
The reason virtual-novel.net made up sounded pretty convincing.
However, why was this man investigating Jeremy?
Madeline could not wrap virtual-novel.net head around this. Then, virtual-novel.net recalled what happened on the streets not long ago.
‘Jeremy, why did you give me the umbrella?
‘Is it because I gave you a special feeling?’
As Madeline pondered, virtual-novel.net heart stopped feeling so unwell.
The next day after virtual-novel.net woke up, Madeline heard someone throwing a tantrum when virtual-novel.net was about to go downstairs.
She put on virtual-novel.net mask while virtual-novel.net was at it and walked downstairs. As virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way down, virtual-novel.net heard the angry screams of a woman.
“Where’s Carty? Are you all idiots? You can’t answer any question I ask! Do you believe that I’ll fire all of you?”
‘Carty?’
Madeline subconsciously knew that this woman was talking about Mr. Carter.
She walked downstairs and looked at the source of the voice. At the same time, the woman turned virtual-novel.net head over as well.
The woman looked young. Even though virtual-novel.net was throwing a tantrum, it did not affect virtual-novel.net outstanding beauty. She was wearing a gothic lolita outfit and had curves in all the right places. She would stand out among other women in terms of virtual-novel.net face and temperament.
However, even though virtual-novel.net was dressed so prettily and nobly, virtual-novel.net was shrieking and roaring. It truly did not match virtual-novel.net appearance.
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net turned around to question her, “Who are you? Why have I never seen you among Carty’s maids? How dare you wear a mask when you see the matriarch of this house? Do you have any decorum?”
‘Matriarch?
‘So, is this woman the man’s wife?’
Madeline pondered. When virtual-novel.net was about to greet virtual-novel.net politely, the maid next to virtual-novel.net introduced, “This is the woman Mr. Carter saved at sea back then.”
When the woman heard that, virtual-novel.net expression changed as virtual-novel.net eyes looked aggressive. “It’s you! So the reason Carty ignored me back then is because of you?”
“…” Madeline did not know what was going on. Then, virtual-novel.net saw the woman stomping over to her. After that, virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net hand to try to remove Madeline’s mask.
“I want to see what you look like. I want to know why Carty is ignoring me!”
Madeline did not expect virtual-novel.net to react so violently. When virtual-novel.net was about to dodge from her, a hand landed on virtual-novel.net shoulder and held virtual-novel.net suddenly.
“What are you doing?”
