After she said that, there happened to be a guest staying in the hotel passing by the corridor.
Kendrick weighed the pros and cons as fast as he could before opening the door.
“Come in.”
Ada smiled in satisfaction and followed Kendrick into the room.
After entering the room, she did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “I’m Carter’s childhood sweetheart. I always thought that when he grew up, it was only to be expected that he and I would get married. However, I didn’t expect that he never had any romantic feelings for me. Moreover, he even hates me a little bit.
“I waited for him for so many years, but he suddenly said that he wants to marry another woman. Of course, I won’t be willing to accept this.”
As Ada said that, her gaze was fixed on Kendrick’s deep and narrow eyes.
“I know you’re unconvinced as well.”
Kendrick’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You seem to know everything about me.”
“Yeah, I’m quite clear. I also know that a woman had plastic surgery to look like your wife because she wanted to impersonate her.” Ada appeared calm and composed.
Of course, she would not let Kendrick and Carter know that she actually colluded with Naomi.
She had also helped Naomi stun Niamh and then watched Naomi push Niamh into the river.
However, what she did not understand was how Niamh could be safe and sound.
“You said you want to help me, so how are you going to do that?” Kendrick said, interrupting Ada’s wandering thoughts.
Ada regained her senses and smiled. “Do you want to see your wife? I can take you into the Louis family and let you see her.”
“Can you take me into Carter’s house?”
“Of course.” Ada had her card up her sleeve, and her face was filled with confidence. “Carter’s mother likes me very much. She has always wanted me to be her daughter-in-law. I can enter the door of the Louis family’s residence whenever I want.”
Kendrick glanced at Ada with suspicion. “What are your requirements and goals for helping me?”
“I said I’m unconvinced,” Ada said before gritting her teeth, “I’m not helping you, I want to help myself. As long as Eveline is gone, Carty will give up.”
After she said that, Ada walked up to Kendrick.
While looking at his handsome face, there was a delightful look in Ada’s eyes.
“How about that? Do you want to take your wife home? If you want, I’ll help you.”
“Of course I do.”
“Okay, then I’ll help you.” Ada agreed. “Carty will announce his marriage to Eveline in two days. The Louis family will hold a celebration ceremony the night before. There will be a lot of people there, so it’ll be easier for me to sneak you in.”
Ada said and stretched out her hand. “Give me your phone and I will enter my contact information.”
Kendrick seemed to hesitate for two seconds before handing his phone over.
After receiving the phone, Ada quickly entered her phone number into Kendrick’s contacts.
“I’ll contact you tomorrow night.” As she said that, she returned the phone to Kendrick and turned away decisively.
Kendrick had originally planned to go out and investigate the situation related to Carter, but it seemed that he did not need to do that at the moment.
After Ada left the hotel, she went straight to Gray Manor.
Inside the study.
Carter was leisurely drinking black tea, and he was not surprised to see Ada coming in.
Ada walked over tremblingly while looking at the man sitting in front of her.
“Carty, it’s already done. Kendrick will show up at the celebration ceremony on time tomorrow.”
Carter raised his long fingers and flipped through the book in front of him casually. “Are you sure he really believes what you told him?”
Ada nodded affirmatively. “His purpose is just to take Eveline away, so as long as there’s a slim chance, he’ll try.”
Upon hearing this, Carter closed the book while feeling very satisfied. He slowly raised his mysterious black eyes.
“The reason why you can still come through this door is that you still have a little value. It’s best if you know your place and don’t lose your only value.”
Ada’s expression changed slightly. She glanced at Carter a little nervously and kept her promise.
“Carty, I’ll never do stupid things again. I know you won’t like me. I just want everything to be the same as before. I’ll be satisfied even if I’m just a friend to you.”
After Ada finished saying that while trembling, someone knocked on the door coincidentally.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Cart, it’s me.”
Niamh’s soft and sweet voice came from the other side of the door.
Carter glanced at Ada coldly before getting up and walking over to open the door of the study himself.
Niamh walked in and raised her eyes to see Ada standing next to the desk. A faint glint flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Subconsciously, Ada was a little flustered when she met Niamh’s eyes. She was scared that Niamh would know about her collusion with Naomi. However, it was fortunate for her that Niamh seemed to know nothing about this.
“Cart, I’m almost ready. Are we going to meet your father later?”
Carter looked at Niamh who had been carefully dressed by the maid with a rare smile on his lips.
“Are you nervous?”
“Not at all.” Niamh shook her head and smiled, her eyes turning into crescents. “However, there will be a lot of guests tomorrow night and I think I’ll be very nervous at that time.”
“Don’t be nervous, I’ll always be by your side.” Carter soothed softly, raising his palm and patting Niamh’s shoulder.
Ada was standing at one side where she could only watch the man she had been in love with since childhood being gentle and considerate to another woman.
Dusk.
Carter’s parents appeared in front of Niamh together. Niamh had met Carter’s mother before. Although the hypnosis had affected certain aspects of her thoughts and memories, her impression of Camille had not changed.
Niamh thought that Carter’s father was not an easy person to deal with no matter how she looked at him.
However, to Niamh’s surprise, Carter’s father was also very satisfied with her.
Early the next morning.
Everyone in Gray Manor began to busy themselves preparing for the celebration ceremony tonight.
Kendrick also received the news from Ada, and he smoothly entered Gray Manor one hour before the start of the celebration.
The manor was full of guests, and it was very lively.
Ada pointed to one of the rooms upstairs and said affirmatively to Kendrick, “Your wife is in that room. You can take her away while there are many people here.”
Kendrick glanced around and realized that no one had noticed him.
He had not deliberately disguised himself to be low-key, and his clothes were the same as usual. He just did not want to be deliberately low-key and attract the attention of others.
However, was it really that easy?
Kendrick pondered upon this, then turned around to thank Ada before going upstairs.
Ada watched Kendrick go upstairs and called Carter after a while.
“Kendrick is on his way.”
When Carter heard this from the other end of the phone, the corners of his lips upturned. He got up and left the study to go to the designated room.
However, after he pushed the door to go in, he found that it was empty and there was no one inside.
Niamh was not in this room, and he knew that. However, it was strange that Kendrick was not here either.
He calmly took out his phone and called Ada. “Where’s Kendrick?”
Ada was confused when she was asked this question. “He went to the room you specified. I saw him go upstairs.”
“You saw him go upstairs but did you see him enter this room?”
“…”
Ada was speechless for a moment. She lifted her head and looked at a guest room on the second floor, only to meet Carter’s cold gaze mid-air.
