Chapter 1539
Despite Carter’s aura being super oppressive, Madeline never showed any weakness.
He was strong, and she was on edge.
However, because of the power difference between them, Carter utterly defeated Madeline from this aspect.
Madeline saw a never-before-seen mischievous smirk on Carter’s face that looked like an iceberg.
“I finally know what kind of face a woman with such beautiful eyes and calm grandeur has.”
It seemed as if Carter was lamenting when he said the next two words in a thought-provoking manner, “Eveline Montgomery.”
“…”
Madeline sensed as if Carter had confirmed something. She clenched her fists, and when she was about to fight back, someone knocked at the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Carter, it’s me.” Camille’s voice sounded from outside.
Carter removed his hand that was trapping Madeline and lifted his narrow eyes indifferently.
“The door’s not locked.”
Click. Camille pushed the door open and came in quickly.
When she saw Madeline standing next to Carter, she walked in front of Madeline and started looking her up and down meticulously.
Since she knew she would not have the time to go over to Adam’s place for treatment, Madeline had applied the gel beforehand, so her face looked pristine and fair now. One could not see any red marks on her face.
Madeline’s features were already exquisite enough even without makeup.
Madeline felt like a puppet that was being watched. However, she could only allow Camille to look at her as much as she wanted.
“Carter, you’re so protective of your fiancée and in such a hurry to get engaged to her, but she has never even thought about marrying you.”
Carter’s smile widened after he heard that. “Eveline’s right. No one can be certain of what’s going to happen in the future. I’m happy as long as she’s the one next to me.”
“…” Madeline glanced at Carter while feeling impressed. She noticed that this man had the potential to be an actor.
Camille pressed her lips together and seemed to be speechless.
“Carter, I don’t want to interfere with your business, but this is your marriage.”
Camille advised earnestly. Then, she looked at Madeline. “She’s pretty, but her beauty can only help her pass the first stage.”
Camille left the room after she said that. However, it was evident that she was not happy with Madeline.
The moment Camille left the study, Ada and her mother hurried over to her.
“Aunty Cammy!”
