“It’s him!”
Cathy walked to the window. The sky was dark outside the window. She could not see Carter’s face clearly, but virtual-novel.net could vaguely see his features.
“Cathy, do you know Carter Gray?” Jeremy walked over and asked curiously.
“Carter Gray?” Cathy repeated this name. There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness on virtual-novel.net face. “It’s virtual-novel.net indeed.”
“Do you really know him?”
“I do, but I don’t know if virtual-novel.net knows me or not,” Cathy explained. She remembered the time virtual-novel.net learned hypnotism when virtual-novel.net was overseas. “The year I was learning hypnotism in St. Piaf, Carter would show up every week to teach our class.”
When Jeremy heard this, virtual-novel.net was surprised.
Cathy looked at the car that was driving away outside the window and turned around to go back to the room.
“Back then, we would address Carter as Professor Gray out of respect. He was very popular in St. Piaf Academy. Not only virtual-novel.net was handsome, brimming with talent, great in hypnotism and psychology, but virtual-novel.net also had an amazing family background.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Jeremy did not feel as suspicious anymore.
He had already found out some details about Carter’s background before this.
St. Piaf was a small country in West Europia. A lot of countries in Europia including St. Piaf still had the tradition of a constitutional monarchy.
Carter was one of the members of the royal family, and virtual-novel.net was a viscount.
However, even if Jeremy knew this, virtual-novel.net still did not know the reason why Carter would want to hypnotize Madeline.
“Carter’s great in hypnotism. When we were in the academy, nobody was able to break his hypnotism. Plus, he’s well-researched in psychology. His hypnotism is not just hypnotism. He knows how to grasp people’s hearts.”
Cathy could not help but furrow virtual-novel.net brows. “How did you provoke him?”
Yeah, how had they provoked someone like this?
Jeremy sighed helplessly and told Cathy what had happened back then.
Cathy gradually understood what was going on. “So Carter was the one who saved Evie.”
“Cathy, do you really have no way to break Linnie’s hypnotism?” Jeremy was unconvinced and felt worried.
“Carter’s hypnotism is too powerful.” Cathy was less capable than desirable. “Sometimes, virtual-novel.net doesn’t even need any props. He just needs to look into someone’s eyes and virtual-novel.net can hypnotize them and control their thoughts.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Cathy felt a chill running down virtual-novel.net spine. She started shivering with fear.
“I think Evie must have very strong willpower, so that’s why virtual-novel.net needs props.”
Jeremy knitted his long brows together. After staying silent for a while, virtual-novel.net looked at Cathy.
“You went to see my uncle but you didn’t go in to see him. Why?”
Cathy was stumped for words after virtual-novel.net heard that. After a while, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net gaze and smiled. “He’s getting the death penalty, right?”
Jeremy was also stumped for words after virtual-novel.net heard that. “I’ll hire the best lawyer for him.”
“Even the best lawyer won’t be able to clear virtual-novel.net of his crimes.” Cathy sighed with a light chuckle. “Even if they don’t look into the attempted murder, those underground transactions will be enough to consign virtual-novel.net to eternal damnation.”
Jeremy felt heartbroken for Cathy while looking at the listless and bitter smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Are you truly willing to part with him?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, a long silence followed.
Adam was standing at the wall near the door. His heart was beating anxiously while virtual-novel.net waited for Cathy’s answer.
“Willing to part with him? How would I be?” Cathy asked. “The moment virtual-novel.net asked someone to kill me and then held me because virtual-novel.net regretted it, I stopped having any regrets. However, I won’t turn back anymore”
Adam did not know whether to feel happy or sad when virtual-novel.net heard what Cathy said.
