Carter paused, and the comer of his lips lifted into an intrigued smile.
“Jeremy, it seems that this time, you won t be returning to Glendale after coming to St. Piaf.” Carter loaded the gun again and pointed it at Jeremy’s heart. He glanced at Jeremy’s bleeding calf again and laughed suddenly.
“It hurts, doesn’t it? But this kind of pain will soon disappear because you will lose all of your senses very soon.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, his eyes narrowed, and then his fingers pulled back.
“Jeremy, go to hell and atone for my son.”
“Stop…!”
Just when Carter was about to shoot Jeremy in such a grandiose way and when Jeremy intended to dodge, an anxious voice came from above to stop him.
Carter’s fingers stiffened suddenly. He raised his eyes to see Shirley in a wheelchair by the balcony on the second floor.
Shirley was looking at the scene unfolding in the courtyard downstairs nervously and worriedly.
“Carter, if you dare kill Jeremy, I’ll jump down from here.” Carter could hear Shirley’s words clearly.
Carter frowned, visibly very displeased, but virtual-novel.net did not pull the trigger again.
“You’re like a stranger to me now,” Shirley said with a touch of sarcasm. “I no longer commit those vile acts, so why do you have to step up and commit these acts that go against your conscience?”
“Is this against my conscience?” Carter sneered and raised his eyes to meet Shirley’s gaze. “Shirley, do you really care about our dead child?”
Carter’s question pained Shirley’s heart. How could virtual-novel.net heart not ache?
However, virtual-novel.net truly had no choice. None at all. That child could not have been born.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net had indirectly caused Adam and Cathy’s deaths, and virtual-novel.net had no intention to live, so virtual-novel.net wanted to leave the world with virtual-novel.net child.
She knew that virtual-novel.net had been selfish in doing this, but virtual-novel.net also knew clearly that, since the beginning, the child had been destined to not be born.
Shirley took a deep breath and held back virtual-novel.net tears. “Carter, don’t make excuses for your desire to fight for the right to rule. You’re not making a move against Jeremy for our child. You are doing this for yourself. All this time, you don’t love anyone. You only love yourself.”
“…”
After hearing Shirley’s words, Carter slowly lowered the gun virtual-novel.net was holding.
She had said that virtual-novel.net loved no one, only himself.
Only himself…
“Heh.” A self deprecating smile appeared at the corner of Carter‘s mouth.
He slowly turned his face to look atJeremy. “Your woman still loves you subconsciously, and my woman is here to beg for mercy for you. Jeremy, sometimes you really make me envious.”
Carter put the gun away.
“Send Mr. Whitman back to the guest room, then call Dr. Lane over to give Mr. Whitman a proper treatment. He is our honorable guest. If virtual-novel.net were to be hurt again, I’d have you pay back twice.”
Carter ordered his bodyguards and then raised his eyes to Shirley again.
“Are you satisfied now?”
Shirley clenched virtual-novel.net fists and pursed virtual-novel.net lips.
“Carter, you don’t have to put on an act for me. I know what you want to do.”
“Yes, you do. You know everything about me. So don’t you think about escaping from my sight! ”
