After virtual-novel.net saw the door close, Carter took out his phone and started looking through the information virtual-novel.net received. While looking at the contents on his screen, virtual-novel.net curled the corners of his lips in interest.
“Jeremy.”
…
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
Madeline had received a call from Carter last night, asking virtual-novel.net to come to the manor earlier.
In order to finish the task successfully, Madeline asked for leave. Luckily, Jeremy was on a business trip these two days, so it would be more convenient for virtual-novel.net to go out.
Madeline arrived at the manor according to the time they agreed upon. However, the manor was still quiet at this hour and there were no guests at all.
On the other hand, the garden had been decorated beautifully for the engagement ceremony to take place.
Madeline did not have the mood to admire it, so virtual-novel.net walked straight to the house. However, after virtual-novel.net got into the door, virtual-novel.net heard Ada grumbling furiously.
“Carty is insane! Insane, I tell you! He’s seriously going to get engaged to that freak in the garden later!”
‘Freak.’
Madeline smiled nonchalantly.
“No, Ada, if this woman is really engaged to Carter, then you’ll have no chance of being the viscountess,” Ada’s mother reminded virtual-novel.net with a nervous look on virtual-novel.net face. “We can’t let Carter get engaged to that woman!”
“Of course, I know that! However, how can we stop Carty? The engagement party will start in two hours!”
“Only Camille can stop Carter now!” Ada’s mother said and immediately turned around to look for Camille. The moment virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net saw Camille coming downstairs, so virtual-novel.net walked over quickly. “Camille…”
“I heard everything you said. I’ve told virtual-novel.net everything I could think of, but you should know how Carter is.”
Camille frowned helplessly and comforted Ada.
“Ada, even though Carter is getting engaged to that woman, she’s right. We don’t know what’ll happen in the future. Plus, everyone in the Louis family has their mindset on you being our daughter-in-law. So, even if Carter likes that woman, virtual-novel.net won’t be able to pass in regards to virtual-novel.net appearance.”
Ada’s eyes lit up after Camille said that. She looked as if virtual-novel.net had been enlightened with perfect wisdom as virtual-novel.net simpered to Camille.
“Aunty Cammy, thank you for comforting me. Nothing’s more important than your support! Actually, I’m not after the position of the viscountess. I truly like Carty. However, not only is that woman hideous, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t even care about Carty at all.”
Camille smiled and patted Ada’s hand. At this moment, they looked very harmonious.
Madeline initially wanted to go in, but now, virtual-novel.net decided to turn around.
However, after virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net saw Carter’s entourage.
The man smiled at virtual-novel.net politely and led Madeline from the side door into the dressing room on the second floor of the manor.
Madeline saw a galaxy blue custom-made gown hanging in front of her, and virtual-novel.net subconsciously felt that Carter had prepared this for her.
Indeed, the maid who came in after virtual-novel.net walked over to help virtual-novel.net change.
Madeline was not used to people helping virtual-novel.net dress, so virtual-novel.net dismissed the maid.
She stood in front of the French window and spaced out while looking at the gown.
She did not want to wear a gown for another man who was not Jeremy. However, today was a special case.
‘Jeremy, the only reason I’m wearing this gown is to investigate what Carter is doing. So, in some ways, I’m still wearing this for you.’
After Madeline thought about that, virtual-novel.net felt more at ease.
She picked up the gown and walked to the full-length mirror to put it on. However, virtual-novel.net could not reach the zip on virtual-novel.net back.
When virtual-novel.net was about to call the maid for help, virtual-novel.net suddenly saw a figure wearing a suit appearing behind her.
“Let me help you.”
