Chapter 1541
Madeline did not want to be the passive one. She turned around and looked into Carter’s eyes calmly.
“Mr. Carter, thank you for helping me out of trouble just now. If you hadn’t helped me just now, I don’t think your mother would’ve believed anything I said.”
Carter looked at her with his deep and dark eyes. “I’m just telling her the truth. Your name is just a coincidence and your face is plastic, no?”
“…”
Madeline had nothing to say to that.
Did Carter believe what she said?
Madeline was suspicious, but looking at Carter’s expression, it did not seem as if he was suspecting her.
“You can’t leave for the time being. You can only leave after all the guests have left.” Carter reminded Madeline, and his gaze once again landed on her face.
This face was delicate and flawless. Plus, it was fair and glowing. There were no signs of it having been burned at all.
The doctor who treated Madeline must be someone with extraordinary skills.
“How did your face manage to recover to this extent in such a short time?” Carter asked the question out of curiosity.
Of course, Madeline would not mention Adam to him, so she tried to find an acceptable reason.
“I need to thank the doctor you found for me, Mr. Carter. Dr. Lane is an amazing doctor. He has been treating me for some time and my face has been improving. After more than a month of treatment, my scabs fell off unbeknownst to me.”
Carter nodded slightly as if he was in deep thought. “Since your face has recovered, why are you still pretending like the way you were before?”
After he said that, Madeline sighed softly. At the same time, she furrowed her brows. “I changed my face according to Eveline’s face since Jeremy loves Eveline the most. Sometimes, I don’t even want to look at this face when I see it in the mirror. I despise this face, so that’s why I want to wear a mask.”
Camille could sense this too. However, it would not be good for her to say it out loud. Eventually, she just emphasized, “Carter, if you want to bring this woman into the doors of the Louis family, you know best what kind of consequences there’ll be!”
Camille was saying this like it was something serious. However, Madeline did not care. She would not marry Carter anyway.
Of course, she did not think that Carter would be bothered about this.
After a while, Madeline walked back to the study after there was no sound of activity downstairs.
Looking at the desk in front of her, Madeline suddenly had a thought.
She walked to the desk and flipped through the documents on the desk. However, she did not see anything out of the ordinary.
Even so, this was Carter’s study, and if he was investigating Jeremy, there would definitely be some clues.
Madeline decided to look further as this chance was so hard to come by. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to stay in Carter’s study alone.
