Chapter 1529
Carter walked over from the door lazily. He was wearing a black suit and looked as if he was just back from finishing his business.
When he walked next to Camille Abbot, he stopped walking. There was finally a grin on his emotionless face.
Camille looked like she was satisfied when she saw her son. “Carter.”
She called out to Carter and spread her arms to hug him for a while. They even placed their faces close to each other intimately.
Their style of greeting was pretty European.
After Carter let go, he said warmly, “Why didn’t you tell me before you came over?”
Camille looked at Madeline. “Why? Are you worried that I’ll scare your girlfriend by coming here unannounced?”
Carter looked at Madeline after he heard that. The smile on his face grew wider. “Eveline is tough, so she won’t get shocked by just this.”
“Oh? Really? You know your girlfriend pretty well, then,” Camille said profoundly. Then, her gaze landed on Madeline again.
Madeline was still wearing her mask, but her beautiful and lively eyes were clear as day.
However, her beautiful eyes could not prove anything. Camille had seen a lot of people with one good-looking feature but the rest of their features did not live up to the standard.
Even so, she did hear the servants in the manor saying that Madeline became disfigured from an accident.
Even though she was pitiful because of her disfigurement, to be frank, a disfigured woman would never be able to enter their family.
Ada looked at her mother, and immediately, they put on a fake, hypocritical mask.
“Carter, you’re back. Long time no see. Let me take a good look at you.” Ada’s mother walked over to him to try to worm her way into a relationship with him.
After they sat down, the servant delivered some beverages and snacks according to Carter’s wishes.
Ada picked up her cup pretentiously to take a sip. When she saw Madeline sitting quietly next to Carter, she lifted her eyes to give her mother a look.
Ada’s mother immediately understood what her daughter meant. Since Carter was here, she changed her imposing manner and pretended to say peacefully, “Miss Montgomery, the tea and snacks are made from the top dessert master. Don’t you want to taste them?”
“You’re too courteous. You can go ahead, I’m not hungry at all.” Madeline smiled and rejected. Of course, she knew this woman only wanted her to remove her mask, but she would not expose her appearance like this.
If Carter saw her, he would know that she had been lying to him.
He would notice that she looked the same as the woman next to Jeremy right now.
When that happened, he would know she was the real Eveline Montgomery.
