“The child shouldn’t even have come into my womb. It’s better for the child to have left parents like us.”
“…”
Carter had been suppressing the anger in his heart, but when virtual-novel.net heard Shirley saying that, his fist clenched tightly.
Although virtual-novel.net was livid, virtual-novel.net still unclenched his fist eventually, forcefully suppressing the blazing anger in his heart.
“Listen to me, Shirley. I’ll make you realize how stupid you’ve been.”
“Carter, don’t make me hate you even more.”
Shirley was calm. Her blank yet icy gaze was fixed on the furious Carter.
“Even if you used some illegitimate means to get the right to rule St. Piaf, it won’t be honorable.”
“Heh.” Carter laughed mockingly when virtual-novel.net heard what Shirley said. “You’ve certainly been ‘reborn’, Shirley.”
Shirley turned virtual-novel.net gaze away from virtual-novel.net upon hearing that. “I’ve already seen through everything. I hope you’ll come to your senses soon.”
“Listen, Shirley. I won’t. You sacrificed my child for Jeremy and Eveline. You don’t even care that you’re the mother, but I do. Just you wait”
Carter spat out the last sentence through his gritted teeth and turned around suddenly.
Shirley felt that something was wrong with that statement, but virtual-novel.net no longer knew what virtual-novel.net could say to stop him.
Soon after Carter walked out of the room, two maids came in to wash virtual-novel.net up and feed virtual-novel.net the porridge. Shirley had resisted, but when virtual-novel.net thought about what Carter might do to Jeremy and Madeline, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt that virtual-novel.net could not die now.
Not only did virtual-novel.net want to prevent any mishaps from happening, but virtual-novel.net also wanted to stop Carter from making more mistakes.
She still remembered the boy who had saved virtual-novel.net from the streets back then. He had been so warm, not as icy as virtual-novel.net was now. Not devoid of warmth or humanity.
Even though Madeline did not take Carter’s warning and threats to virtual-novel.net seriously, when virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net needed to take precautions.
Of course, Jeremy was prepared as well.
Carter had already been targeting Jeremy. Now that Carter’s child was miscarried, virtual-novel.net despised Jeremy and Madeline.
While Carter was a noble and prestigious Viscount on the surface, his shrewdness did not match his gentle and elegant exterior.
Madeline started to take Jackson to school every day.
When they got home, virtual-novel.net would stay with virtual-novel.net children most of the time and take care of Cathy’s children. She was almost inseparable from the children.
As for Lillian, Fabian would send them videos every day. Sometimes, when virtual-novel.net was in a good mood, virtual-novel.net would agree to a video call so that Jeremy and Madeline could see Lillian’s condition in real-time. However, Fabian still did not agree to let Jeremy and Madeline take Lillian back.
Jeremy and Madeline could only let it be, though that was because they could see Lillian’s condition improving.
Perhaps the reason Fabian was so firm with his decision was that virtual-novel.net hoped Lilian could get the best treatment with him.
Jeremy had not managed the affairs of his company for a very long time. Presently, Madeline’s body had slowly gone back to normal.
Furthermore, the poison remaining in his body was slowly disappearing. Now that everything had returned to normal, virtual-novel.net could also focus on his work again.
On Monday morning, Jeremy hosted a meeting as usual. When it ended, virtual-novel.net still texted Madeline at the first chance virtual-novel.net had.
After virtual-novel.net sent the message, Madeline did not reply immediately, and this disappointed him. However, when virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net was a little childish.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net still could not stop himself from missing her. He then decided to call Madeline. When virtual-novel.net dialed virtual-novel.net number, his assistant, Ken, approached virtual-novel.net hastily.
