"Enough of this useless talk," Shirley interrupted her, "just stay as far away from me as possible. You'd better not have any ideas about the child in my womb. Otherwise, I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to lose a limb or be disfigured.”"How dare you threaten me?" Ada was enraged; her expression turned dark and unsightly. “Do you think you can do whatever you want since you're pregnant with Carter’s child? I'm tell you, Shirley. If I wanted to kill that vile spawn in your womb, I won't even need to lift a finger. Just you wait!”Ada warned Shirley furiously. Ada was about to turn around to leave, but Camille was standing at the door of the bedroom."..." Ada’s face paled in a flash. She was at a loss as she watched Camille walk into the room slowly. "Mom."Camille shot a look of disgust at Ada. "What now? Since you don't have to lift a finger yourself, whose hands do you plan to use to murder my grandson? Your mother's?""..." Ada bit her lip upon hearing this. Althoug

Shirley lifted her gaze toward Ada. "Carter would share his matters with you?"Ada chuckled. "Wouldn't I be able to find out even if he didn't want me to know? Well, if you don’t believe me, don't follow me."After she had spoken, Ada turned and walked the garden. Glancing behind, she saw Shirley catching up with her. Ada smiled to herself, satisfied that her tactical retreat had worked. Ada's smirk was not lost on Shirley, but Shirley chose not to be bothered by it.This was the Gray Villa. Even if Ada had the courage of the gods, she would not dare to harm her.However, Shirley was surprised by how large the villa was. Despite walking for two or three minutes, they were still in the garden.She knew that Carter had put in a lot of effort to win over Glendale.Carter had already been making preparations when she was sent to approach Jeremy. He had always been someone who only accepted success–failure was not permitted; this time would be no different.Shirley was thus truly

"Is it that young man named Adam?" "Yes, that's him. He won't let Shirley look like this for long. He'll heal her in the shortest possible time to make her look like the woman she once was." Carter was certain of this.Camille felt relieved by his words. "Then I can anticipate my grandchild's birth in peace."She smiled and unwittingly let out a soft sigh. "In fact, if she hadn't left without a word years ago, the two of you would have been married, and maybe you'd have had two or three children by now. I don't know what she was thinking back then." Carter listened to Camille’s mutterings; he shared similar questions in his mind and a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.However, he did not say anything else.If he could hold onto her now, he could make up for the loss. Ada, who had been listening to the entire conversation, soon after returned to her room angrily and gave a call to her mother. Having heard the scenario, Ada's mother pondered for a moment, then immed

She had done all that because she felt that Carter cared for Shirley. She realized that Shirley was a threat to her, so she paid someone to kidnap Shirley, who was locked up at Jeremy's old villa at the time.Using Madeline's name, Ada had ruined Shirley's face and injured her leg. Consequently, Shirley had been hit by a car in her attempt to escape, which led to her disabled legs. The whole thing began because of her jealousy!"Just you wait, Adam. You're as annoying as your sister Shirley!" Ada warned furiously, the humiliation she felt fuelling her rage. "Soon, I'll also have you know the price you’d paid in defying me!" "Don't try to validate your presence here. We have no time to defy you. You're the one who keeps finding fault with us," Adam retorted coldly, leaving Ada no room to argue. Ada had originally come by to vent her anger at Shirley’s brother Adam since Ada could not blatantly direct it at Shirley. However, she had not expected to be angered further. At the

Ada let out a sigh of resignation."Carter, I know I tend to be willful and wayward, but I'm not that heartless and cold-blooded. You should go and comfort Ms. Brown. She must be feeling especially..."Without waiting for Ada to finish her sentence, Carter left her and walked straight to Shirley. Carter glanced sideways at the charred house which had been burnt down to its frame. His eyebrows drew tight as the burning smell hit his nostrils. He walked up to Shirley, lowered his body slightly, and was about to speak when Shirley raised a hand unexpectedly and slapped him. Carter was dumbfounded. His face remained sideways, seemingly did not react, and he stood motionless.Ada and the servants nearby had witnessed the entire scene, and all of them were shocked.Carter held the position as the honorable Viscount of St. Piaf; he carried with him the blood of royalty. Ever since he was a child, who would have dared to move a single strand of his hair? Presently, this woman who
