Carter lifted his eyes and his bottomless eyes which were bursting with anger.
“Carter, ” Camille quickly walked to Carter’s side at this moment and grabbed his arm. It looked as if she wanted to stop something from happening.
“Carter, don’t be impulsive,” Camille advised him. Her expression looked serious and apprehensive.
Perhaps she was worried and scared of the terrifying thing that Carter might do at this moment.
Carter clenched his fists and got out of Camille’s tight grasp. “Carter, don’t… ” Camille tried to stop him again, but it did not seem to work.
Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and she could also guess what he would do next.
Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but she was not.
“Carter, I know that you’re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today.
Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how I killed my child after developing AXP69.”
Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter.
It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.
He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull him down from his grace. A self- mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then he turned around and left without saying a word.
Carter left just like that.
The people in front of him made way for him accommodatingly.
Without explaining himself or fighting back, he walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.
Shirley turned her wheelchair and looked toward the direction where Carter left. Her heart which was covered in flesh and blood hurt immensely.
She knew Carter could never reach the height he longed for in this life anymore.
His final wish, and the life that he yearned for, ended right there.
However, Shirley did not regret doing this.
When Jim’s mother saw this from one side, she nearly did not hide her smile with her hand.
Carter had failed, and the only person who could get the right to rule was her son!
Niamh, who did not care to stay in the Royal Palace any longer, decided to go look for Kendrick.
She changed into the clothes she had prepared in the lounge. After she opened the door, to her surprise, she saw Shirley waiting for her.
“Did you come here for me?” Niamh asked.
Shirley shook her head, but then she nodded her head and said, “I think we won’t be seeing each other in the future.”
Upon hearing that, a feeling of emptiness suddenly tugged at Niamh’s heart.
“I didn’t expect that there would be a day when we’d talk to each other peacefully. I also didn’t expect that you’d listen to me even when you’re hypnotized.”
When Niamh heard that, she told Shirley the truth. “Actually, I was at a loss after I was hypnotized, that’s why I listened to everything Carter said. But when I went to look for him that day, I just so happen to hear his conversation with his mother in the study. That’s when I realized that they were merely using me.”
Niamh explained but displayed a surprised smile.
“But I’m pretty surprised that you also know hypnosis.”
“Even though I didn’t learn it formally, after following him for all those years, I’ve learned it from watching him numerous times.”
“I see, ” Niamh lamented.
Shirley pursed her lips into a smile. “Luckily, you found the pocket watch Carter used to hypnotize you back then. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to succeed.”
As she spoke, the smile on her face looked more and more relieved.
“Eveline, I’m so sorry, for you and Kendrick. But I sincerely hope that our grudges end here. I believe the poison in Kendrick’s body will be cleared soon. I hope you two can spend the rest of your life together without worry.”
After Shirley had blessed Niamh, she turned her wheelchair around decisively and left before Niamh could speak.
Niamh wanted to catch up to Shirley to say something to her, but coincidentally, a familiar- looking figure appeared before her eyes.
It was none other than the maid who was with Kendrick before the wedding.
Niamh was about to look for Kendrick, and she had a feeling in her heart that this maid might know where Kendrick was, so Niamh walked hurriedly over to her.
Since Niamh did not know the maid’s name, she could not call out to her, so she could only walk faster to chase up to the maid.
However, when Niamh was halfway there, the maid suddenly turned around.
The maid, who did seem to have seen Niamh, walked straight up to the entrance to a room, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Niamh intuitively knew something was wrong, so she quickly ran after her.
The moment the door was about to close, Niamh lifted her hand to hold the door, then she pushed the door open and walked in.
Just as she arrived at the entrance, she heard the maid’s soft voice coming from the room.
“I had wanted to leave just like that, but after I thought about it, I was still reluctant to leave you. I didn’t think that you’ll be awake the moment I come back, Mr. Waldburg.”
Niamh could clearly hear those words floating into her ears. She was stunned for two seconds and then she strode over.
The moment Niamh saw a half-naked Kendrick sitting in bed, she heard an explosion in her brain, and she lost all her senses.
Kendrick sat up groggily, and his long finger was pressed against his temple.
His thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he looked off-colored.
Niamh took a deep breath to control her emotions.
“Kendrick.”
Kendrick froze when he heard her voice. The maid who was standing on the side of the bed turned her head to look over.
When she saw Niamh, she displayed a surprised expression.
“Miss Montgomery, why are you here?”
The maid looked at Niamh up and down. “ Shouldn’t you be at the wedding with Mr. Carter? Why are you here?”
Niamh looked at the maid insipidly after hearing her surprised and curious words. Niamh then walked toward Kendrick.
While she was at it, she picked up the clothes that were thrown on the floor. After shaking the dust off the clothes, she helped Kendrick put them on.
“Miss Montgomery, what are you doing?” exclaimed the stunned maid as she hurried over to try and stop Niamh.
Niamh lifted her cold and beautiful eyes and looked at her with an icy look. “Don’t come any closer. Stand there. Don’t move.”
The maid wanted to stop Niamh, but she was so frightened by Niamh’s aura that she stood motionlessly on the spot.
Niamh quickly helped Kendrick put on his shirt then bent down and buttoned his shirt for him.
Kendrick sat on the bed, looking out of sorts, as he merely allowed Niamh to put on his clothes for him.
Niamh sensed that something was wrong with Kendrick’s current state, but she did not know what was wrong. However, there was a horrible idea in her head that she did not want to consider.
“Miss Montgomery, isn’t this a little inappropriate? You’re Mr. Carter’s wife. How can you be so intimate with Mr. Waldburg? How can you put on his clothes for him?”
Niamh stopped what she was doing and asked coldly, “I can’t put on his clothes for him and you can?”
The maid was not frightened by Niamh’s identity at all. When she thought about how Carter wanted to bring her and Kendrick together, the maid was more confident. “I should be the one dressing him, and no matter what, it shouldn’t be you, Eveline.”
Eveline.
She was calling her by Niamh’s first name now.
Niamh now knew how arrogant and proud this maid was.
“Also, I just had an intimate relationship with Mr. Waldburg, so I’m the one who’s the most qualified to take care of him.”
When Niamh heard what the maid said, she could hear a buzz in her brain again.
She felt as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from speaking.
However, Niamh did not allow herself to space out for long. When she was about to turn around, Kendrick suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist.
Niamh suddenly lifted her clear and alluring eyes. In the next second, her eyes met Kendrick’s soft and tender gaze.
However, his tender gaze only lasted for a few seconds before it turned abnormally sharp to look at the maid who was a short distance away from the bed.
