Carter was standing at the door of that room, and his expression looked very horrible.
He knew that Kendrick had come to St. Piaf with him. He had planned for it because he wanted to give Kendrick a taste of his own medicine to embarrass him.
However, Kendrick had not appeared in this room as he planned.
Carter immediately rushed over when he started to suspect that Kendrick might have found the room where Niamh was really located. However, he only found that several maids were helping Niamh with her makeup and dress. There was nothing unusual.
Kendrick had obviously come upstairs, but it was as if he suddenly evaporated and disappeared.
Carter could not wrap his head around this and went to look in a few other rooms, but he could not find Kendrick.
At this moment, Kendrick was rummaging through Carter’s study for what he was looking for.
He remembered Carter taking out the crystal ball from his pocket that day, so his eyes fell on the suit jacket hanging on the hanger.
He quickly walked over, and as soon as he reached out his hand, he touched the crystal ball in the jacket pocket.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Kendrick quickly put away the crystal ball and swiftly retreated behind the door to hide.
After a while, he saw Carter hurriedly walking in.
Immediately afterward, Ada also appeared in the study.
“Carty, I really saw Kendrick coming upstairs. I think he must be on the second floor.”
Kendrick’s eyes glinted when he heard Ada’s words.
Sure enough, he had not guessed wrong. This woman did not genuinely want to help him. Carter and she were in on this.
They wanted to catch him.
He was now in St. Piaf, and if he fell into Carter’s trap, he would be in trouble.
“Don’t you have his contact information? Call him right now,” Carter demanded.
Ada heard the words and immediately took action. The call was quickly connected, but no one answered.
Ada looked at Carter who had an icy look on his face helplessly and uneasily. “He’s not answering my call.”
Carter raised his black eyes and glanced at the door. “I don’t think he’ll answer your call either.”
“Carty, you mean…” Ada looked at Carter whose eyes were getting more and more treacherous in confusion.
The corners of Carter’s lips twitched as he slowly walked toward the door of the room.
Kendrick heard Carter’s approaching footsteps and guessed that Carter might have noticed him.
“Cart.”
Niamh’s sudden appearance halted Carter’s footsteps that were about to reach the door.
“Cart, I’m done. Can I go down to see your relatives and friends now?” Niamh asked with a slight smile. When she saw Ada standing in the study again, she could not help but wonder, ‘She’s here too?’
Carter glanced at Ada indifferently and smiled softly at Niamh. “We still have time, so you can go back to your room and rest for a while.”
Niamh furrowed her beautiful eyebrows with slight embarrassment. “Can you accompany me? I think I’m a little nervous.”
Carter quietly glanced at the door of the study from the corners of his eyes. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”
“Okay.” Niamh smiled and displayed her sweet dimples before reaching out to grab at Carter’s sleeve.
Carter did not say much and started to keep up with Niamh’s footsteps.
Ada looked gloomily at the scene of Carter entertaining Niamh. She mumbled a few words of dissatisfaction before leaving the study.
Kendrick never thought that Niamh would appear by chance at such a crucial time, but her appearance did save him from huge trouble.
Kendrick also quickly left the study. He was trying to find where Niamh and Carter had gone to, but suddenly, he saw Carter hurriedly turning back from not far away.
Anticipating that Carter might want to go back to the study to check if he was behind the door, Kendrick decisively dodged to the corner where there was no one around.
After waiting for Carter to enter the study, he quickly ran in the direction Carter had just walked in.
As he passed the door of a guest room, Kendrick caught a glimpse of Niamh sitting inside from the corners of his eyes. He dashed in without hesitation and quickly locked the door.
Upon hearing the sound, Niamh quickly turned her head and saw Kendrick as he strode toward her solemnly.
“Kendrick, it’s you again.” Niamh’s voice was cold, and she even sounded impatient. “How many times do I have to keep telling you before you understand? Stop pestering me already.”
Kendrick did not back away when he was faced with Niamh’s repulsion.
“Nia, I want to take you home.”
“Home? This is my home.”
“No, Nia, this is not your home.” Kendrick looked serious and focused. “I’ll let you know where our home is soon, Nia.”
Niamh twisted her beautiful eyebrows together. When she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Kendrick take out a crystal ball. “Eveline, look at this crystal ball now.”
“…”
As Kendrick’s voice fell, Niamh seemed to be stunned. Her eyes were looking fixedly at the crystal ball in Kendrick’s hand.
Kendrick’s heart beat faster when he saw Niamh’s reaction.
Sure enough, props were very important.
This was the prop that Carter used to hypnotize Niamh. As such, he would use this to try to break Niamh’s hypnosis.
He was indeed not a professional hypnotist, but these days, he has been studying day and night. He had learned the relevant knowledge from Cathy as well. In any case, he had to give it a try.
“Eveline…”
Click.
Kendrick was about to get to the point when the locked door was suddenly opened.
He froze before turning to see Carter walking toward him with a subtle smile.
“Kendrick, you’re very smart, but I’m not stupid either.”
Carter glanced at the crystal ball Kendrick was holding.
“Now, let me tell you the correct usage of this crystal ball.”
Carter finished the sentence with a deep smile and strode to Niamh with the crystal ball in his hands.
He immediately captured Niamh’s gaze and issued the instructions.
“Eveline, look into this crystal ball. From this second on, your entire body will feel relaxed. You will not be affected by anyone. Just keep in mind that the man you love most now is Carter Gray.”
Upon hearing this, Kendrick was instantly angry.
He clenched his fist and charged forward to grab Carter’s collar. He snatched the crystal ball away.
“Carter, is this how you hypnotized my wife? Eveline loves me. Do you think you can really deceive her like this and fool her forever?” Kendrick roared in a low voice. The veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were popping out. He was unable to control his emotions at the moment. If he could, he really wanted to strangle the man in front of him to death.
Carter smiled disapprovingly. “Kendrick, I advise you to let me go right away. Do you know what’s the worst thing that can happen if she gets interrupted in the middle of hypnosis?”
Seeing Carter’s triumphant eyes, Kendrick’s fingers loosened subconsciously.
He could not risk his Nia. He could not.
Carter felt Kendrick releasing him and smiled with satisfaction. He easily broke away from Kendrick’s hand and straightened his clothes slowly. Finally, he parted his lips leisurely.
“The worst thing that can happen after getting interrupted during hypnosis is that the hypnotized person may live in hypnosis all their life, or they’ll become a semi-crazy fool after losing all their ability to think.”
Upon hearing this, Kendrick felt as if his heart had frozen. His whole body seemed to be encased in ice.
He raised his eyes to look at Niamh, and her eyes were staring at the crystal ball without focus like a puppet without a soul—waiting to be manipulated.
Kendrick felt as though his whole body was in pain at the moment. He was so powerless as he watched the love of his life being teased by others.
While he was thinking about it, Carter took away the crystal ball in his hand and continued to hypnotize Niamh even deeply.
Kendrick could only watch as Niamh listened to Carter’s instructions. She then closed her eyes, lay down on the bed, and entered a temporary state of sleep.
Kendrick could not bear this anymore. “Carter, what do you want?”
