Chapter 1590

After the door was opened, Madeline saw a room filled with warm tones that was decorated comfortably.

She felt curious. There was even such a feminine room in this manor and it was in the basement.

While Madeline was feeling curious, she heard the man’s deep and charming voice from her side.

“You’re here.”

Madeline froze and turned around to see Carter sitting in front of a desk. There was nothing on it aside from a beautiful, sparkling, and translucent crystal ball.

However, Madeline was not in the mood to admire this. She walked in front of the desk and looked at the man who had an unknown expression on his face. She thanked him sincerely, “Mr. Carter, I’m really thankful for you for saving my life and allowing me to go back to my home. I didn’t mean to lie to you back then, but—”

“You found out that I’m gathering information on Jeremy Whitman, so as his wife, you were curious but at the same time concerned for him. That’s why you decided to beat me at my own game and stay with me to scout out more information, is that right?”

Carter was right about what Madeline had been thinking in her heart back then. However, at this moment, she could only admit magnanimously.

“Yes. I’m still curious until now. Why are you investigating my husband, Mr. Carter?”

“Uh-huh.” There was a rare smile on Carter’s icy yet handsome face.

He lifted his bottomless dark eyes and looked straight into Madeline’s eyes.

“Before I answer you, can you answer my question?” His tone rarely sounded so gentle. His eyes were the same too.

Madeline looked into his eyes as a gesture of courtesy. “What do you want to ask me, Mr. Carter?”

Carter lifted the corners of his lips. “What’s your name?”

Madeline was flabbergasted and stumped for words for a while. She said, “My name is Eveline Montgomery.”

“Who’s Jeremy Whitman to you?” Carter asked quickly right after.

“He’s my husband.”

“You love him a lot, right?”

“Yes, he’s the only man I love in my life.”

When Carter heard this, a mysterious smile appeared on the side of his lips.

“No, you’re wrong. He’s not the man you love the most.” Carter denied it neither too slowly nor too quickly. “If you don’t believe me, look into this crystal ball.”

Madeline was confused as she stared blankly ahead. She did not know what Carter meant by that.

However, her eyes still landed on the crystal ball after Carter’s guidance.

This crystal ball was exceptionally beautiful. Inside the translucent crystal ball was a blue liquid.

It looked like the starry sky and also the sea. There was an abstruse yet attractive power to it.

For some reason, the more Madeline looked at this crystal ball, the more she felt her breathing and heartbeat losing their normal rhythm. Even her thoughts were starting to get out of her control.

In the next second, the lights in the room started to dim.

In the darkness, the only thing Madeline could see was this crystal ball and the elegant, refined, and mysterious-looking man who was sitting in front of the crystal ball…

Jeremy had followed them to the gates of Carter’s manor. He sat inside the car and waited for about an hour. Eventually, he got out of the car because he could not wait anymore.

When he was about to go inside, a middle-aged man who looked like the butler walked over to stop him.

“Sir, this is a private manor. May I know who you’re looking for?”

Jeremy said calmly, “I’m looking for my wife. An hour ago, she was invited to see Mr. Carter Gray.”

The man furrowed his brows in confusion after he heard that. “Sir, have you made a mistake? There are no guests today.”

Jeremy’s expression became colder after he heard that. “I saw with my own eyes Carter’s driver bringing my wife in here and now you’re telling me it isn’t the case?”

The butler quickly calmed Jeremy down after he saw that he was infuriated. “Sir, don’t be mad. Maybe I didn’t notice because I was away just now. I’ll help you ask around immediately.”

The butler said, and he was about to go ask someone. However, before he could turn around, Carter’s entourage walked to Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Carter is inviting you inside.”
