“Yes, Mr. Carter,” one of the maids quickly responded and walked to Madeline’s side.
Madeline glanced at Carter who was as calm as ever and then at the doughty bodyguards beside him. She did not have another choice except to go back to the room.
After returning, Madeline looked at the remaining bloodstains on the floor. When virtual-novel.net thought of Jeremy bleeding out in pain just now, virtual-novel.net heart ached.
“Jeremy…”
Madeline fiddled with the wedding ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger. When virtual-novel.net thought about virtual-novel.net cold attitude toward Jeremy before, virtual-novel.net felt even more embarrassed.
Click.
The door was suddenly opened again.
Madeline looked up and saw Carter holding the doorknob as virtual-novel.net stood leisurely in front of the room.
“Tomorrow’s wedding ceremony will be held as usual. I hope Miss Montgomery can continue to cooperate with me. I think you should also want to see Jeremy leave St. Piaf safely.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Carter closed the door decisively.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fingers and looked at the moon outside the French windows.
‘Jeremy, I’ve taken the wrong step.’
‘I shouldn’t have acted on my own initiative.’
Madeline suffered all night in self-blame. When the sky started to turn bright the next day, a maid came in and announced to Madeline that virtual-novel.net was here to help virtual-novel.net get dressed.
Thinking of Carter’s threatening words of reminder last night, Madeline chose to cooperate.
After more than half an hour of torment, Camille came in. Her dress today looked more luxurious, looking as if virtual-novel.net was dripping in jewels.
Camille also did not know that Madeline had only pretended to pass out yesterday. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline looking better today, virtual-novel.net was very satisfied and relieved.
“Don’t faint suddenly again. Today is your wedding day with Carter.”
Madeline looked at herself in the mirror and quickly stood up.
The maid who was doing virtual-novel.net makeup looked at Madeline in surprise.
“Miss Montgomery…”
“Mrs. Gray, I need to ask you for a favor.” Madeline landed virtual-novel.net gaze on Camille’s face, seeking help.
Camille was surprised as virtual-novel.net stared blankly at Madeline. “How can I help you?”
Madeline looked at the maids beside her. “Please go out. I have something to say to Mrs. Gray alone.”
The maids took a look at Camille before leaving.
“What’s the matter? You can tell me now,” Camille asked.
Madeline was straightforward and honest. “Mrs. Gray, to be frank, Carter and I don’t have any feelings for each other at all. He doesn’t like me and I’m not interested in him. He had saved me once before, so I helped virtual-novel.net make Ada leave. Our relationship is fake, and Jeremy and I are still married.”
“…” Camille’s expression changed suddenly. “What? It’s fake? Then now…”
“It’s impossible for me and Carter to appear in front of so many people as a couple.”
“…”
Camille’s face looked more horrible. Then, at this moment, Carter pushed open the door and walked in.
He was wearing a decently tailored limited edition suit, looking radiant and graceful.
Carter frowned in confusion when virtual-novel.net saw Camille’s gloomy face. “Did something happen?”
