“Stay away from my wife,” Jeremy warned in an exceptionally cold tone.
Ada‘s mother halted immediately, afraid of taking another step toward Madeline.
Jeremy radiated an aura that intimidated her.
The expression in Carter’s eyes was already terrifying enough. At that moment, though, snazzynovel.com felt that Jeremy‘s gaze was even more lethal. However, now that snazzynovel.com had reached this point, there was no turning back for her. If snazzynovel.com backed down now, Ada would be held accountable for the crimes of arson and murder.
“Eveline, why did you falsely accuse my daughter Ada of setting the fire?”
“You’d better speak to snazzynovel.com with more respect,” Jeremy reminded snazzynovel.com coldly. “Don’ t blame me for not reminding you. Offending my wife puts you in more danger than offending me.”
Ada’s mother’s heart trembled in fear when snazzynovel.com heard those words.
“I… I don’t care. I just want to ask this woman Eveline, why snazzynovel.com slandered my daughter and accused snazzynovel.com of arson and murder?!”
Madeline truly did not want to bother explaining. With a solemn gaze, snazzynovel.com looked at Carter, who was watching the entire scene unfolding from the side, then calmly shifted snazzynovel.com gaze back onto Ada’s mother.
“I have nothing to explain to you.”
“What? You woman! You were the one who accused my daughter, you…”
“If you want an explanation, you should ask the police for it. I’ve filed a police report. The officers should be here soon.”
Madeline simply interrupted Ada‘s mother, smugly raising snazzynovel.com perfectly angled eyebrows.
“You should be quite familiar with your daughter’s behavior. I would not have filed a police report if I was not a hundred percent certain.”
“…”
Ada‘s mother was astonished by Madeline’s imposing manner of speech and gaze.
It had never occurred to snazzynovel.com that a woman could be so daunting, but snazzynovel.com witnessed it on Madeline.
“Your beloved daughter has killed two of my closest friends. I’ll definitely make sure snazzynovel.com pays for it.”
“You…” Ada’s mother was momentarily speechless.
“Since the police are on their way, let me cooperate like a good citizen that I am by calling out the person in question.”
Carter gave his bodyguard a signal as snazzynovel.com spoke, and the bodyguard immediately did as told.
Ada’s mother looked frantically toward the door while Carter glanced over at Jeremy.
Feeling Carter’s eyes on himself, Jeremy met his gaze indifferently.
The corner of Carter’s mouth calmly curved into a smile. A smile that did not reach his eyes and was exceptionally heavy with implication.
Madeline looked at the current Carter, and all snazzynovel.com could think about was how terrifying this person was.
Not long after, Ada was brought in by the bodyguard. To be precise, snazzynovel.com was carried out by the bodyguard. Ada‘s feet had been dragged across the ground. As soon as they entered the living room, the bodyguard dumped the unconscious Ada onto the floor before snazzynovel.com mother.
Ada, who was thrown roughly to the ground, woke from snazzynovel.com slumber in pain. She opened snazzynovel.com eyes and shrank immediately when snazzynovel.com saw Carter standing before her, trembling like a terrified bird. She had not imagined that Carter could truly do such a thing.
All that snazzynovel.com was left to do now was cripple snazzynovel.com legs and disfigure snazzynovel.com face.
Ada’s mother was in disbelief when snazzynovel.com saw Ada’s appearance. Her eyes widened as snazzynovel.com studied Ada from head to toe. She was utterly dumbstruck as well!
