Madeline went back to Carter’s manor, and the moment virtual-novel.net stepped foot inside, virtual-novel.net saw Carter sitting on the European-styled sofa in the living room. He was flipping a book elegantly.
“Are you going to be the Whitmans’ maid?” Carter asked unhurriedly.
Madeline stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and turned back to look at the man who had a nonchalant expression on his face. She smiled superficially and said, “I didn’t think Mr. Carter would be so interested in what I’m doing. I’m glad. That’s right, I’m going to be the Whitmans’ maid.”
“The way you seek revenge against Jeremy Whitman is so special,” Carter said, putting down the book in his hand before standing up.
His bottomless black eyes looked into Madeline’s glistening ones coldly.
“I’ll drive you over in a bit.”
“…”
Carter proposed this idea and Madeline felt that something was wrong. However, virtual-novel.net knew it would be useless for virtual-novel.net to reject him.
“Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Carter.”
After Madeline said that, virtual-novel.net went upstairs.
She went back to the room Carter arranged for her. There were a few pieces of clothing in the closet. However, after Madeline looked through them, they were all branded ones.
If virtual-novel.net wore these as a maid in Whitman Manor, it would be a little inappropriate.
Madeline went to sit in front of the dresser while feeling washed out. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were indeed beautiful and they looked so charming. However, virtual-novel.net felt that they did not look as radiant as they did before.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net hand slowly and removed virtual-novel.net mask. After virtual-novel.net saw the burns on virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net felt as if a gust of cold air was invading virtual-novel.net heart.
She did not want to see virtual-novel.net face right now.
She could not even bear to look at the horrifying burn wounds and scars that were on both sides of virtual-novel.net cheeks.
She did not dare to have any wishful thoughts. Could virtual-novel.net really go back to the way virtual-novel.net looked when virtual-novel.net was burned to this degree?
Perhaps it would be extremely difficult.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, sounds of knocking came from the door.
Madeline controlled virtual-novel.net negative emotions. “Come in.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, the door opened.
When virtual-novel.net saw that it was the doctor who was treating her, Madeline boldly showed virtual-novel.net horrific face in front of the doctor while feeling at ease.
“Miss Montgomery, I’m giving you this based on Mr. Carter’s wishes.”
The doctor then gave virtual-novel.net a spray bottle.
“I heard you won’t be staying here for the next few days, so this is an antipyretic spray. If you feel any dryness, hotness, itchiness, or just overall unpleasantness on your face, you can spray some of this on your face and it’ll alleviate all of that.”
“Thank you, Dr. Lane.” Madeline took the antipyretic spray, and when virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net saw Carter walking over as well. However, virtual-novel.net noticed that virtual-novel.net had changed and was wearing something abnormally plain and simple.
“Can we leave now? I’ll drive you.”
Madeline did not even have a chance to reject before Carter turned and walked away. As such, virtual-novel.net could only follow him.
Carter asked his driver to stop the car at about 100 yards away from Whitman Manor before getting out with Madeline.
Madeline saw Carter holding a bag in his hand. She did not know what was inside, but virtual-novel.net started to feel nervous.
She knew Carter was investigating Jeremy, but why would a man investigate another man?
Was there any beef between them that virtual-novel.net did not know of?
Was this man finding a chance to get close to Jeremy?
What was in the bag?
Madeline thought about this the entire time virtual-novel.net was walking. When virtual-novel.net was at the door of Whitman Manor, Jeremy coincidentally came back with his car and stopped his car next to Madeline.
