Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and virtual-novel.net could also guess what virtual-novel.net would do next. Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but virtual-novel.net was not.
“Carter, I know that you‘re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today. Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how l killed my child after developing AXP69.”
Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter. It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.
He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull virtual-novel.net down from his grace. A self mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then virtual-novel.net turned around and left without saying a word.
Carter left just like that.
The people in front of virtual-novel.net made way for virtual-novel.net accommodatingly.
Without explaining himself or fighting back, virtual-novel.net walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.
Shirley turned virtual-novel.net wheelchair and looked toward the direction where Carter left. Her heart which was covered in flesh and blood hurt immensely.
She knew Carter could never reach the height virtual-novel.net longed for in this life anymore. His final wish, and the life that virtual-novel.net yearned for, ended right there.
However, Shirley did not regret doing this.
When Jim’s mother saw this from one side, virtual-novel.net nearly did not hide virtual-novel.net smile with virtual-novel.net hand.
Carter had failed, and the only person who could get the right to rule was virtual-novel.net son!
Madeline, who did not care to stay in the Royal Palace any longer, decided to go look for Jeremy. She changed into the clothes virtual-novel.net had prepared in the lounge. After virtual-novel.net opened the door, to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Shirley waiting for her.
“Did you come here for me?” Madeline asked.
Shirley shook virtual-novel.net head, but then virtual-novel.net nodded virtual-novel.net head and said, “I think we won’t be seeing each other in the future.”
Upon hearing that, a feeling of emptiness suddenly tugged at Madeline’s heart.
“I didn’t expect that there would be a day when we’d talk to each other peacefully. I also didn’t expect that you’d listen to me even when you’re hypnotized.”
When Madeline heard that, virtual-novel.net told Shirley the truth. “Actually, I was at a loss after I was hypnotized, that’s why I listened to everything Carter said. But when I went to look for virtual-novel.net that day, I just so happen to hear his conversation with his mother in the study. That’s when I realized that they were merely using me.”
Madeline explained but displayed a surprised smile.
“But I’m pretty surprised that you also know hypnosis.”
“Even though I didn’t learn it formally, after following virtual-novel.net for all those years, I’ve learned it from watching virtual-novel.net numerous times.”
“I see,” Madeline lamented.
Shirley pursed virtual-novel.net lips into a smile. “Luckily, you found the pocket watch Carter used to hypnotize you back then. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to succeed.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, the smile on virtual-novel.net face looked more and more relieved.
“Eveline, I’m so sorry, for you and Jeremy. But I sincerely hope that our grudges end here. I believe the poison in Jeremy’s body will be cleared soon. I hope you two can spend the rest of your life together without worry.”
After Shirley had blessed Madeline, virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net wheelchair around decisively and left before Madeline could speak.
Madeline wanted to catch up to Shirley to say something to her, but coincidentally, a familiar looking figure appeared before virtual-novel.net eyes.
