Chapter 1924

“Enough. ” Suddenly, Carter interrupted Madeline. His handsome face was filled with indignation. “

Eveline, do you think you can shake this off just by saying that? Impossible.”

“ I’ve never thought of shaking this off. That was why I said that if you want to hypnotize me, you should do it now.”

Undaunted, Madeline stared at Carter. She was already prepared for the worst.

As Carter eyed Madeline’s indifferent expression, the fire in his heart surged gradually.

“Okay, since you insist, I will comply right now. ”

After speaking, he took out the old-looking pocket watch from his suit pocket.

Madeline gave absolutely no attempt in avoiding and stared straight at the pocket watch.

When Carter saw how cooperative she was, he immediately started the hypnosis.

Upon seeing this, Shirley went up to stop them. “ Eveline, are you insane?”

She tried to wake Madeline whom she thought had been successfully hypnotized. After that, she glared at Carter.

“ If you dare hurt her in any way, I’ll kill myself in front of you!”

Carter furrowed his brows. Before he could say anything, Shirley suddenly reached out and yanked the pocket watch out of his hand.

“Give it back.” Carter reached out toward Shirley.

However, Shirley’s attitude was firm. “Can you let her go?”

Carter laughed upon hearing that. His expression then changed. “Give it back.”

He repeated those words with a look of annoyance in his eyes.

However, Shirley ignored him. She operated her wheelchair and moved next to Madeline, then suddenly grabbed Madeline’s hand. “Come with me.”

Although Madeline did not have time to register what was happening, she was already following Shirley.

At this moment, Madeline could feel how much Shirley wanted to help her. Madeline glanced at the man, who looked as if he was about to explode, and quickly followed Shirley.

When Shirley saw that Carter was not following them, she was surprised and she felt lucky. She figured that perhaps Carter had come around.

“You’ll be free once you’ve walked out of this door.” Shirley’s voice was laced with a hint of joy.

Madeline, however, thought otherwise.

Shirley seemed to have forgotten that this place, and even the entire St. Piaf, was Carter’s territory.

Before she reached the door, two burly bodyguards had indeed come to stop them in their tracks.

The joy on Shirley’s face vanished instantly.

“Miss Brown, please don’t make this hard for us.” The bodyguard was still polite to Shirley. Perhaps he knew that Shirley was someone Carter cared about.

“It seems that you’re the ones making it hard for me.” Shirley’s attitude was firm. “Go away.”

“Miss Brown…”

The bodyguard still intended to stop them, but someone came in behind him mid-sentence.

“Eveline, why are you here?”
