Despite Carter’s aura being super oppressive, Madeline never showed any weakness.
He was strong, and virtual-novel.net was on edge.
However, because of the power difference between them, Carter utterly defeated Madeline from this aspect.
Madeline saw a never-before-seen mischievous smirk on Carter’s face that looked like an iceberg.
“I finally know what kind of face a woman with such beautiful eyes and calm grandeur has.”
It seemed as if Carter was lamenting when virtual-novel.net said the next two words in a thought-provoking manner, “Eveline Montgomery.”
“…”
Madeline sensed as if Carter had confirmed something. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists, and when virtual-novel.net was about to fight back, someone knocked at the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Carter, it’s me.” Camille’s voice sounded from outside.
Carter removed his hand that was trapping Madeline and lifted his narrow eyes indifferently.
“The door’s not locked.”
Click. Camille pushed the door open and came in quickly.
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline standing next to Carter, virtual-novel.net walked in front of Madeline and started looking virtual-novel.net up and down meticulously.
Since virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net would not have the time to go over to Adam’s place for treatment, Madeline had applied the gel beforehand, so virtual-novel.net face looked pristine and fair now. One could not see any red marks on virtual-novel.net face.
Madeline’s features were already exquisite enough even without makeup.
Madeline felt like a puppet that was being watched. However, virtual-novel.net could only allow Camille to look at virtual-novel.net as much as virtual-novel.net wanted.
“Your face is fine. Why did you lie and insist on wearing a mask?”
Camille asked in dissatisfaction. Then, virtual-novel.net said in a tone that was laced with sarcasm, “Could it be that you think you’re too beautiful and you’re scared people will be jealous of your beauty?”
After Madeline heard that, virtual-novel.net chuckled. “I guess there’s jealousy involved, but it’s not other people getting jealous of me that I’m worried about. It’s me who gets jealous of other people.”
“What? What do you mean?” Camille was confused.
Madeline wanted to say virtual-novel.net got plastic surgery to look like Eveline Montgomery, but before virtual-novel.net could say anything, Carter helped virtual-novel.net explain.
“Eveline’s face was indeed burned in a fire. Actually, she’s still in recovery. I just didn’t want anything to happen to virtual-novel.net face again, so that’s why I asked virtual-novel.net to not take off virtual-novel.net mask until now.”
She did not expect Carter to defend virtual-novel.net with such an explanation. Madeline was feeling more and more confused about this guy.
He saved virtual-novel.net life and even asked someone to treat virtual-novel.net wounds and face. Now, virtual-novel.net was indeed siding with her, so virtual-novel.net seemed like a good man.
However, sometimes, virtual-novel.net was abnormally frigid and his attitude was arrogant and disdainful. Just like how virtual-novel.net had flung virtual-novel.net hand away just now when they entered the study. He did not go easy on virtual-novel.net at all.
However, it was evident that Camille was not happy with this answer. Her eyebrows were still knitted together, and virtual-novel.net was looking at Madeline with hostility and suspicion.
“Carter, you’re so protective of your fiancée and in such a hurry to get engaged to her, but virtual-novel.net has never even thought about marrying you.”
Carter’s smile widened after virtual-novel.net heard that. “Eveline’s right. No one can be certain of what’s going to happen in the future. I’m happy as long as she’s the one next to me.”
“…” Madeline glanced at Carter while feeling impressed. She noticed that this man had the potential to be an actor.
Camille pressed virtual-novel.net lips together and seemed to be speechless.
“Carter, I don’t want to interfere with your business, but this is your marriage.”
Camille advised earnestly. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline. “She’s pretty, but virtual-novel.net beauty can only help virtual-novel.net pass the first stage.”
Camille left the room after virtual-novel.net said that. However, it was evident that virtual-novel.net was not happy with Madeline.
The moment Camille left the study, Ada and virtual-novel.net mother hurried over to her.
“Aunty Cammy!”
