Carter furrowed his sharp eyebrows when he saw what was written on the paper. He could not understand why Niamh wrote that.
However, Niamh was such a smart woman. She must have her reasons for writing that.
As Carter thought about that, he swiped away the footage on his phone and walked toward the study.
Meanwhile, Niamh put the pen down and handed the paper to Shirley.
“If he really came to find me, and if there’s an opportunity, please make sure you hand this piece of paper to Kendrick.”
Shirley, instead of reading what the paper said, put i t away carefully. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my absolute best to hand this to Kendrick. I’ll also try to ask Carter for a phone so that you can contact Kendrick.”
“Thanks.”
Niamh thanked her. After saying that, Carter’s figure appeared in her eyes.
Carter looked like the same carefree and elegant nobleman as he had always been.
However, his previous gentleness and elegance no longer existed in Niamh’s eyes.
Carter had always been a devious man who would plan far ahead, a ruthless man who would do anything to reach his goals.
From the very start, Niamh had been fooled by the act he put up.
“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Do you want to say something?” Carter said and walked toward Niamh.
A rare and warm smile showed on his icy face, but this smile looked very sly to Niamh.
“I heard you want to perform advanced hypnosis on me, ” Niamh said calmly, a smile appearing on her elegant, refined, small face. “Carter, I am standing right here. Come hypnotize me. I won’t fight back.”
Shirley was shocked when she heard what Niamh said. “Eveline, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“She doesn’t speak nonsense,” Carter said suddenly as if he was answering on Niamh’s behalf as he lowered his eyes to look at the concerned Shirley. He walked up to Niamh and lifted his cold eyes. “ I think I’ve guessed correctly.
You already have an escape plan in your heart. You might even have a plan to fight back. How would a smart woman like you allow anyone to control you?”
As Carter said that, his eyes darkened slightly. “ However, Eveline, I won’t give you this chance.”
“Carter. ” Shirley operated her wheelchair to move next to Carter. “ Stop making more mistakes. ” She tried to talk him out of this, but it was obvious Carter was turning a deaf ear.
“You don’t have to waste your breath on him. He never stops for anyone if he wants to do it.”
Niamh looked at Carter calmly and her beautiful eyes were filled with the sharpness and arrogance she had back then.
“Carter, do you think I don’t know? The revenge is just a ruse. This whole time, you’ve always wanted to make a move against my husband, but it’s just that you’ve now found a better reason.”
As Carter heard what Niamh said, his eyebrows started to furrow gradually.
“Carter, if you had truly cared about your child with Shirley, you wouldn’t be like this.”
“Enough. ” Suddenly, Carter interrupted Niamh. 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, Niamh stared at Carter. She was already prepared for the worst.
As Carter eyed Niamh’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.
Niamh 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 Niamh 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 Niamh, then suddenly grabbed Niamh’s hand. “Come with me.”
Although Niamh did not have time to register what was happening, she was already following Shirley.
At this moment, Niamh could feel how much Shirley wanted to help her. Niamh 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.
Niamh, 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?”
Niamh abruptly lifted her head when she heard the voice, and she saw a surprised Camille.
Niamh smiled faintly. “Madam Gray, why do you think I’m here? Your son invited me here, of course.”
“…..” Camille was momentarily silent. She understood what Niamh was saying. Carter had obviously brought her here against her will.
Camille did not know what to say to Niamh. At this moment, Shirley reached out and grabbed her hand.
“Aunty Cammy, I know you hate me because I left without a word back then, but I hope you can promise me something, for the sake of our past relationship.”
Shirley grabbed Camille’s hand tightly. “Let Eveline go.”
Camille was stunned when she heard that. She did not reject her directly. It was clear that there was a slight hesitation.
She looked at Niamh. Camille was already moved.
“Aunty Cammy, Eveline is innocent. Don’t drag her into my relationship with Carter again.”
The corners of Shirley’s eyes grew warmed as she spoke.
“Our child had ended up like that because of my sins. It had nothing to do with Kendrick and Eveline at all. Aunty Cammy, you don’t want to see Carter repeating the same mistakes again and again, do you?”
Shirley’s words went straight to Camille’s heart. Of course, she did not want Carter to keep repeating the same mistakes.
Carter was fighting for the right to rule so he could not make any mistakes right now.
Additionally, she thought that what Shirley was saying made sense.
“Okay, I’ll walk you out of this door myself, ” Camille promised and turned around to walk Niamh out.
However, at this moment, Carter’s carefree figure appeared behind them.
“No one is allowed to set her free.” Carter’s tone was calm, but his words were laced with his firm attitude.
Camille turned around and glanced at Niamh, then walked up to Carter and lowered her voice to speak.
“Carter, what are you doing? Why did you bring Eveline here again? Have you forgotten what happened the last time you brought her here?”
Carter lifted his cold eyes slightly. “Of course, I haven’t forgotten. It’s because I remember, so I want to change history.”
“… What do you mean?” Camille did not understand. However, she did not forget to advise, “ Carter, don’t forget what you should be doing now. Eveline will only cause trouble for you if she’s around. Plus, your child with Shirley…”
