“I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be the second young master of the Johnson family.“ Carter’s tone was full of sarcasm. “Why? Don’t you need to accompany that little thing, Lillian? Why do you still have the sentiment to leisurely drive Eveline here?“
Fabian stared coldly at Carter who had just said that. “I won’t hold you accountable for Lily’s affairs for now. Tell me, why did you ask Kendrick to come here? Where is Kendrick now?“
Niamh had vaguely heard the commotion outside, so she hurried out of the house.
When she saw Carter standing at the gate so overtly, Niamh rushed over.
”Carter!”
She ran up to Carter, her beautiful eyes shooting out a sharp, cold light.
“Where is my husband? Where did you take Kendrick?“
Carter smiled unhurriedly when he looked at Niamh whose face was full of anxiety.
“There should have been an end to the business between Kendrick and me. Isn’t this fine? He wants his baby daughter to be safe, so he has to trade his own safety for it.“
Upon listening to Carter’s words, Niamh raised her hand suddenly and grabbed Carter’s collar in an imposing manner.
“Carter, hurry up and tell me. Where is my husband?“
Ignoring Niamh’s nervous questioning, Carter dismissively pushed away Niamh’s hand and gave her an evil smirk.
“You can rest assured that he’s still breathing and that he still has a heartbeat. He won’t die for the time being.“
‘Won’t die for the time being?’
Niamh could feel her heart skipping a beat; she was even more certain that Kendrick must be in an extremely unsafe place and was immobilized.
“Carter, you’re despicable! “ Niamh’s eyes were full of contempt.
“And you still want to become the monarch of St. Piaf. I really don’t regret exposing your true colors to everyone! “
When he heard what Niamh said, Carter’s smug smile stiffened in an instant.
His original seamless plans were all ruined by the partnership between Niamh and Shirley.
Even the thought of it at the present bugs him.
Out of humiliation, Carter flew into a rage and suddenly grabbed Niamh’s hand.
“Eveline, don’t force me to take action against you! “
Niamh coldly retorted, “You can do it if you want. You don’t have to tell me in advance. Do you think I would be so nalve to think that you will be merciful to me?“
“You…“
“Let go! “ Fabian went up to them coolly and pushed away Carter’s hand that tightly held Niamh’s wrist.
He took a step forward and pulled Niamh behind him in a gentlemanly manner.
“Carter, if you’re still a man, don’t bully a woman.“
“Heh.“ Carter’s face turned dark and then he sneered again. “Woman? Do you think she looks like a weak woman?“
Carter’s stern gaze penetrated straight into Niamh’s sharp eyes.
“Since Kendrick came to see me as per the agreement and was willing to use himself in exchange for the safety of his precious daughter, then I will also abide by the agreement and give you what I should.“
Carter said as he took a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and gave it to Niamh.
“I injected the little thing with a test reagent previously developed by Shirley. The thing is colorless and tasteless, and red spots will appear within it hours after the injection. There wouldn’t be any symptoms at first, but the symptoms will gradually become more obvious soon.
“What I can tell you is that there’s no antidote for this test reagent yet. The recipe for that test reagent is written on this paper.“
There was no antidote for this test reagent. Niamh’s heartbeat sank, and she grabbed the paper that Carter handed over.
However, at this moment, she did not know if she could trust every word written on the paper.
Maybe this was yet another one of Carter’s traps.
Noticing Niamh’s hesitation, Carter smiled meaningfully. When he saw that Fabian was also looking at the piece of paper in concern, he took this opportunity to turn around. However, when he turned around, a group of armed men suddenly appeared, encircling Carter.
When Niamh and Fabian heard the sound, they looked up at the same time.
Numerous tall men wearing special equipment surrounded Carter.
As for Carter, he seemed to know these people, so he was not particularly surprised, and instead, he just sneered.
“You found me.“ He raised his eyes contemptuously. When he was about to resist, a familiar voice came from behind the group of people.
“They didn’t find you. I told them that you are here.“
As the voice fell away, Shirley appeared in Carter’s line of sight.
She slowly approached Carter as her frail body sat in the wheelchair.
However, Shirley was surprised to see Niamh and Fabian. She did not know that Niamh would be here. Although she did not know Fabian, she knew that this was Lillian’s support in F Country.
Carter looked at Shirley who was gradually approaching him, and there was self-mockery in his eyes.
“Did you really tell them that I’m here?“
Seeing that Carter did not seem to believe it, Shirley smiled and replied confidently, “Of course, I told them. How would they be able to trace you from St.
Piaf otherwise?“
When Shirley answered affirmatively, Carter laughed and then closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his face was already horribly gloomy.
“Do you really hate me so much that you can’t wait for me to die?“ Carter asked Shirley as he looked into Shirley’s indifferent eyes.
Shirley looked coldly at the face which she had admired for many years, and her vision gradually blurred.
“You still have time to turn back now.“
“Turn back?“ Carter repeated these two words with a chuckle.
He looked at the group of people surrounding him, and his smile became even more sarcastic.
“How do you expect me to turn back? Can I start everything again if I were to turn back? If I turned back, would I still be the viscount of St. Piaf everyone respects? Would I still see the woman who loved me so much when I turn back?“
Carter asked a series of rhetorical questions as he gradually lost control of his emotions.
Shirley’s heart trembled, and she firmly squeezed the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, forcing herself to calm down.
When she was about to persuade Carter again, she heard him laugh again.
“You want to arrest me, don’t you? You want to take me back to St. Piaf to punish me, don’t you? Okay, come on.“
Carter stretched out his arms, seemingly giving up in resisting. However, when the people who were about to arrest Carter put down their guard, Carter suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shirley’s neck.
His move surprised everyone present.
Shirley had not expected Carter to behave like this either.
Had he been driven so desperate that even if he would die, he would drag her with him too?
Shirley thought, and her heart raced, but she did not want to resist in any way.
If he truly wanted to do this, she would be willing. “Carter, what are you doing? Do you want to kill your woman?“ Niamh hurriedly asked.
Carter lowered his gaze disapprovingly and looked at the unresponsive Shirley. “My woman? Heh, hehe…“
Carter laughed mockingly, but the corners of his eyes turned wet involuntarily.
“My woman called these people to arrest me.“ His sarcastic voice lingered in Shirley’s ears.
“Shirley, is this the outcome you want? You must really want me to make amends to your brother, don’t you? It seems that today is a good opportunity.“
After saying that, Carter increased the force of his palm slightly.
When the armed police sent to arrest Carter saw this, they raised their guns at him.
“Carter, let go of the hostage.”
“Hostage?” Carter raised his arrogant cold eyes disapprovingly. “She’s not a hostage. She’s just a fool who is willing to die with me.” He said as he looked at Shirley who did not resist. The side of her face that was intact looked so beautiful in his blurred vision.
“Am I right? You want to die with me.“
Shirley looked forward indifferently. The cold wind blew over, and she suddenly smiled.
