“Where’s Eveline? Did you not find her?” Karen asked frantically.
Kendrick’s body was covered with a biting cold aura. Even though the sun was out, his wet clothes were still not dry. Plus, he looked very haggardly and exhausted right now.
He did not answer Karen before he went straight to the stairs.
“Kendrick, Kendrick, say something. Is Eveline…”
“My fate with Nia will not be so short-lived. She isn’t.”
“…”
Karen listened to Kendrick with a confused look on her face. She stood motionless and had nothing to say anymore.
On the other side, Carter had also asked some people to look around. However, they could not find anything about Niamh. On the contrary, he saw a trending tweet online about Eveline, the young madam of the number one wealthiest family in Glendale—the Waldburgs. Last night, she was seen having fun with a few men in the club.
After he opened the picture on the viral tweet, the face of the woman in the picture did belong to Eveline.
Camille saw what was going on online as well. She immediately found Carter and pointed at the picture. “These two men in the picture were the ones who brought her away yesterday. She had obviously been forced into the car yesterday, but why was she suddenly drinking and having fun with them? Fancy that, and we were so worried about her too!”
Carter carefully looked at those pictures after he heard Camille’s complaints. Then, he even found a video that was about ten seconds long.
After watching, he came up with a conclusion. “It’s not her.”
Camille was surprised. “What? The woman in the picture is not her? The woman in the picture is really Kendrick’s wife?”
Carter nodded seemingly. Then, his heart started feeling anxious.
Naomi saw the photos of her online. She was very satisfied as she smoked a cigarette and continued to bill and coo with the strange man next to her.
Since she could not become Eveline, then she would destroy her reputation and completely ruin her name.
She kept telling the media where Eveline would go hang out next. Then, she would use this face to hang out with other men so that the reporters could take some indecent shots to put online.
After less than a day, Eveline’s name was trending along with a lot of different labels.
Naomi was thrilled when she saw the stocks of Waldburg Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise getting affected by this.
She dressed up and told the media which nightclub Eveline would go to next before leaving her hotel room.
However, when she opened the door, she saw someone standing there much to her surprise.
For a moment, she was stumped for words. She looked at the handsome face with outstanding features in front of her in confusion.
“Who are you? Why are you standing in front of my door?” Naomi asked.
When Carter heard this, a stern glint flashed across his eyes. He parted his lips lazily.
“You’re the young madam of the Waldburg family and you’re staying in a hotel. I guess your relationship with Mr. Waldburg is in shambles indeed.”
When Naomi heard this, a disdainful scoff appeared on her face.
“Yeah, my relationship with my husband is in shambles. We’re almost at the stage of divorce because I’m not a woman who knows my place and I’m not the good wife or mother the public thought I was. I’m just a fickle wh*re.”
Carter peered at Naomi coldly. “What you said is so surprising, Mrs. Waldburg. I’ve never seen a woman describing herself this way.”
“Oh yeah? You’ve seen it now, no?” Naomi snorted nonchalantly. Then, she continued to slander while wearing Niamh’s face. “I’m an extremely shameless woman. I’ve always been a woman of loose morals. I’ll welcome all men with open arms, and Kendrick can’t even satisfy me.”
Naomi started spewing nonsense seriously. Then, the way she looked at Carter changed all of a sudden. “Pretty boy, did you come all the way for me? Are you a reporter? I won’t mind doing something with you since you’re so handsome. Are you interested in doing something with me?”
Naomi said while reaching out her hand to touch Carter’s shoulder.
However, the moment she got into contact with him, Naomi felt cold air spreading all around her.
She lifted her head and noticed Carter’s icy gaze. Suddenly, she was horrified and quickly retracted her hand in fear.
Carter scanned Naomi coldly before walking into the room.
Naomi followed behind him quickly and closed the door.
Carter looked at the clothes and take-out boxes all over the place, his eyes filled with repulsion.
However, in order to confirm his suspicions, he had to step through this door.
“Sir, who are you? What do you want from me? If there’s nothing you want, don’t waste my time going out to have fun with other men.” Naomi was saying something that sounded extremely shameless.
She wanted everyone to think that Eveline Montgomery was a woman with no sense of shame.
Carter listened to what Naomi said with no emotions on his face. Then, he turned around to look at her and pointed at the bed.
“Go and sit there.”
He was ordering her, not requesting.
Naomi wanted to get out as soon as possible, but after she saw Carter’s handsome face, she smiled and walked obediently to the bed to sit down.
“Sir, are you trying to do something with me in bed?” Naomi asked amorously.
Carter’s eyes peered at Naomi coldly. Then, he parted his long legs to stride over to her.
Naomi looked expectant. She was going to ruin Niamh’s name anyway, so any man would be fine for her. This excellent man in front of her right now was more than she could ask for.
Carter saw some sort of expectation in Naomi’s eyes that were harboring malicious intentions. Then, he spent a few seconds examining this small face adorned with delicate features.
“Eveline,” he parted his lips gently and uttered the three syllables accurately.
Naomi was dazzled for no reason for a while. Then, she heard Carter opening his mouth again.
“Now, look into my eyes.”
‘Look into his eyes?’
Naomi was curious, but for some reason, her consciousness was being led by Carter without her realizing it.
She lifted her head and looked into Carter’s deep and dark eyes.
For some reason, she felt as if all of her senses were being controlled in that instant.
When Carter saw Naomi’s reaction, he curled the corners of his lips calmly.
“I’m going to ask you now, what’s your name?”
“Naomi Lionel.”
Naomi answered without being able to control herself. She wanted to say that she was Eveline Montgomery, but the truth came out of her mouth instead.
Carter seemed to be satisfied when he got this answer. He asked again, “Why do you look like Eveline?”
“I got plastic surgery.”
“Why did you want to look like Eveline?”
“The man I liked arranged this for me. I don’t know why he wanted me to look like her. I was just carrying out his orders.”
“Who’s your boyfriend?”
“His name is Ryan Jones.”
Ryan Jones.
Carter quickly remembered the man who died in the yacht explosion.
His eyes landed on Naomi’s face that was a copy. Her eyes were out of focus right now, and it was evident she had fallen into his hypnosis.
He had tried to hypnotize Niamh before as well but did not succeed.
Niamh’s willpower was strong, unlike the woman in front of him who was easily hypnotized by him.
After pondering for a few seconds, Carter asked again.
“I’m asking you now. Why are you using Eveline’s name to hang out with so many men in nightclubs? Does Kendrick know you’re an imposter?”
Naomi did not have her own thoughts and opinions anymore. She could only listen to Carter and answer obediently.
“I pushed Eveline into the river at the dock in the west. She’s dead, so I’ll become the true Eveline. However, Kendrick found out that I’m not the real Eveline and wants to catch me. So, before I get caught, I want to completely destroy Eveline’s name. I want to have her name go down in history as a byword for infamy.”
After Carter heard this, the look in his eyes changed.
“You killed Eveline?”
“Yeah, I want to kill her,” Naomi answered decisively. However, she was like a tool right now and had no emotions. She was only obediently answering Carter’s every question.
