“It’s him!”
Cathy walked to the window. The sky was dark outside the window. She could not see Carter’s face clearly, but she could vaguely see his features.
“Cathy, do you know Carter Gray?” Kendrick walked over and asked curiously.
“Carter Gray?” Cathy repeated this name. There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness on her face. “It’s him indeed.”
“Do you really know him?”
“I do, but I don’t know if he knows me or not,” Cathy explained. She remembered the time she learned hypnotism when she was overseas. “The year I was learning hypnotism in St. Piaf, Carter would show up every week to teach our class.”
When Kendrick heard this, he was surprised.
Cathy looked at the car that was driving away outside the window and turned around to go back to the room.
“Back then, we would address Carter as Professor Gray out of respect. He was very popular in St. Piaf Academy. Not only he was handsome, brimming with talent, great in hypnotism and psychology, but he also had an amazing family background.”
When she said that, Kendrick did not feel as suspicious anymore.
He had already found out some details about Carter’s background before this.
St. Piaf was a small country in West Europia. A lot of countries in Europia including St. Piaf still had the tradition of a constitutional monarchy.
Carter was one of the members of the royal family, and he was a viscount.
However, even if Kendrick knew this, he still did not know the reason why Carter would want to hypnotize Niamh.
“Carter’s great in hypnotism. When we were in the academy, nobody was able to break his hypnotism. Plus, he’s well-researched in psychology. His hypnotism is not just hypnotism. He knows how to grasp people’s hearts.”
Cathy could not help but furrow her brows. “How did you provoke him?”
Yeah, how had they provoked someone like this?
Kendrick sighed helplessly and told Cathy what had happened back then.
Cathy gradually understood what was going on. “So Carter was the one who saved Evie.”
“Cathy, do you really have no way to break Nia’s hypnotism?” Kendrick was unconvinced and felt worried.
“Carter’s hypnotism is too powerful.” Cathy was less capable than desirable. “Sometimes, he doesn’t even need any props. He just needs to look into someone’s eyes and he can hypnotize them and control their thoughts.”
After she said that, Cathy felt a chill running down her spine. She started shivering with fear.
“I think Evie must have very strong willpower, so that’s why he needs props.”
Kendrick knitted his long brows together. After staying silent for a while, he looked at Cathy.
“You went to see my uncle but you didn’t go in to see him. Why?”
Cathy was stumped for words after she heard that. After a while, she lowered her gaze and smiled. “He’s getting the death penalty, right?”
Kendrick was also stumped for words after he heard that. “I’ll hire the best lawyer for him.”
“Even the best lawyer won’t be able to clear him of his crimes.” Cathy sighed with a light chuckle. “Even if they don’t look into the attempted murder, those underground transactions will be enough to consign him to eternal damnation.”
Kendrick felt heartbroken for Cathy while looking at the listless and bitter smile on her face.
“Are you truly willing to part with him?”
After he said that, a long silence followed.
Adam was standing at the wall near the door. His heart was beating anxiously while he waited for Cathy’s answer.
“Willing to part with him? How would I be?” Cathy asked. “The moment he asked someone to kill me and then held me because he regretted it, I stopped having any regrets. However, I won’t turn back anymore”
Adam did not know whether to feel happy or sad when he heard what Cathy said.
Actually, he had known the entire time. The man who was living in the deepest part of Cathy’s heart was Felipe.
Even though he had hurt her badly and heartlessly aimed the gun at her heart.
True love was always an absurd thing.
It would not mind the losses or gains, and it would not mind whether one got any response.
“Since you’ve decided not to turn back and the end of his life might already be here, then you should let him leave while knowing the truth.” Kendrick walked over to Cathy. “You should bid farewell to him officially. The least you can do is let him know the existence of the children.”
After Kendrick said that, he turned around and left.
Cathy stood absent-mindedly where she was. She lifted her head to look at the cold night sky outside the window. The sky was as dark as ink, and in that instant, it drowned her heartbeat.
…
After Carter brought Niamh back to the manor, he quickly hypnotized her again.
After sleeping for an entire night, what Carter said to her during the hypnosis sounded even more profound now.
The next day, she went into the kitchen after she woke up to make Carter breakfast.
Carter enjoyed the food in satisfaction. After watching Niamh for a while, his smile widened.
Nobody was able to break his hypnotism. No one.
At this moment, Carter’s mother, Camille, walked over hurriedly.
“Carter.”
“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Carter asked indifferently.
Camille looked at Niamh who was enjoying her meal on the dining table and her face looked serious. “Your father wants you to go back. If possible, he wants you to bring your future viscountess.”
Carter still looked nonchalant. “Why is he asking me to go back in such a hurry?”
“If you want to know why, you should ask your father.” Camille gave him a look. “Are the two of you really not going to call each other for the rest of your lives?”
After she said that, it seemed that Carter had fallen into a short silence.
After a while, he smiled and looked at Niamh. “Eveline, do you want to go to my hometown with me?”
Niamh did not even hesitate. “Of course.”
Carter pressed his lips into a smile before answering Camille, “I’ll pack my bags. We can go anytime.”
“Okay.” Camille nodded in satisfaction. She immediately called Carter’s father to give him a reply.
Carter looked at Niamh who was being very docile right now. A mysterious glint flashed across his eyes quietly.
After Kendrick went back, he kept thinking about how to break Niamh’s hypnosis.
He found a few reliable and skillful hypnotists, but when they heard Carter’s name, they all had their qualms.
This made Kendrick realize that Carter was indeed very skilled in the hypnotism world.
However, even so, he would not allow Carter to use this method to brazenly control Niamh.
While he was thinking and trying to come up with a way, he suddenly received the news about Carter leaving Glendale with Niamh. They were heading to St. Piaf.
Kendrick sped to the airport as fast as he could. After finding out that Carter was taking a chartered plane, he used all of his connections in Glendale to arrive at the plane that was about to take off.
Coincidentally, he saw Niamh who was about to go into the cabin with Carter. While looking at the familiar and beautiful figure, Kendrick charged forward and yelled hurriedly, “Nia!”
Niamh had just stepped foot onto the plane when she froze immediately after.
“Nia!”
Kendrick screamed continuously.
“Nia, don’t go with him!”
Carter lowered his gaze to look at Niamh who was beside him. He turned and used the corners of his eyes to look at Kendrick who was running up to them.
“Don’t bother about those irrelevant people. Let’s go,” he said to Niamh, and at the same time, he sped up.
Niamh wanted to turn around to look at Kendrick, but after hearing what Carter said, she decided to follow Carter onto the plane.
When Kendrick saw that Niamh was not turning around, it felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss. However, he did not give up just like that.
He took large strides and chased after them. However, when he was about to get close to Niamh, the door of the plane was shut tightly with a loud thud.
The heavy plane door separated them into two different worlds.
