Upon hearing that, Carter burst out laughing, but the smile on his face seemed spine-chilling.
“Of course, I believe you.”
“Really?” Ada looked expectantly at Carter who had just said virtual-novel.net believed her.
However, in the next second, Carter’s gaze darkened. “I believe in myself. I believe that someone like you would indeed do something like that.”
“…”
Ada’ s widened as virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heartbeat grew more erratic. Presently, Carter’s eyes gaze bore a hint of ruthless murderous intent.
He cared about Shirley, and virtual-novel.net cared about virtual-novel.net very particularly. That was why virtual-novel.net now believed what Madeline had said.
When Ada saw Carter closing in on her, one step at a time, Ada felt as though virtual-novel.net heart would leap out of virtual-novel.net mouth. If virtual-novel.net admitted to this, virtual-novel.net knew what would happen to her. However, if virtual-novel.net did not, what other excuses could virtual-novel.net find…
Just as virtual-novel.net was still silently coming up with an excuse in virtual-novel.net heart, Carter had already forced virtual-novel.net to a dead-end. She could no longer back away.
“Carter. Carter, listen to me. It’s not like what Eveline said. I didn’t set the fire. Adam and Cathy’s deaths have nothing to do with me. Carter, I… Ugh… ”
Before Ada could continue, Carter suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Ada’s neck.
Ada’s eyes widened immediately. Pained, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth to cough, but virtual-novel.net could not make a sound.
“You’re really something else,” Carter said sarcastically. His gaze looked calm but there was a hint of austere chill in them. “Do you think that, if Shirley were to never get better, I’d set my heart on a woman like you? Do you think you’re worthy? You don’t even have the right to call me by my name.”
“…”
When Ada heard Carter’s disdainful statements, virtual-novel.net eyes, as well as virtual-novel.net face, reddened. It was unclear if it was due to Carter’s words or due to virtual-novel.net difficulty breathing.
Carter did not loosen his grip because of Ada’s tears and pain but increased his grip instead.
Madeline, who was watching them from one side, seemed to see Jeremy’s shadow in Carter at that moment.
It was also at that moment when Madeline truly believed that Carter had genuine feelings for Shirley.
The level of concern a man had toward a woman could determine whether virtual-novel.net would do something like this.
Ada had clearly been caught red -handed, and virtual-novel.net also verified Carter’s relationship with Shirley.
“Carter, let go.” Camille walked over to talk Carter down. Although she, too, despised Ada, Camille was much calmer than Carter. “If you choked virtual-novel.net to death, Shirley’s legs and face still won’t improve. Adam and Cathy won’t come back to life either.”
“Then I’ll bury virtual-novel.net next to them.” Carter’s gaze darkened and the shadowy chill enveloped Ada.
Ada opened virtual-novel.net mouth, still intending to explain herself, but virtual-novel.net could not utter a single word. There was only a continuous stream of tears falling out of the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Camille, frustrated at the sight, reached out virtual-novel.net hand and grabbed Carter’s hand. “Carter, listen to me, let virtual-novel.net go first.”
Carter was annoyed but for Camille’s sake, virtual-novel.net finally let go of his hand. However, virtual-novel.net did not merely let go. He threw Ada out fiercely.
Ada crashed against the cabinet, then fell onto the floor, and let out an agonizing yelp.
“Ah!”
