Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1641

Chapter 1641

Carter frowned when he heard the words. "Speaking of motive..."

His eyes raised, looking ahead. He seemed about to start speaking, but he stopped himself, his gaze then returned to Madeline's face.

"By now, I assume my status should be clear to you?"

Madeline calmly met Carter's eyes, looking straight into his black pupils. "Well, noble viscount, do you intend to use your identity to suppress us husband and wife?"

Carter could hear the irony in Madeline's words, but he did not care for it. Instead, he showed a rare gentle smile.

"Frankly, I've become very fond of you after these few days. You're a very smart woman, and I need a knowledgeable woman like you by my side, but it's a pity that your heart has never been mine. I couldn't control you even with hypnotism, that's why I could only give up."

Carter seemed resigned as his long eyebrows raised slightly.

"Since this is the case, the both of you would have no choice but to bear this consequence together. Compared to being saved by me at sea, bigamy probably is not a big deal to you, isn't that right?"

Madeline curled her beautiful lips and smirked. "Yeah, compared to Mr. Carter's gracious act in saving my life, putting me behind bars isn't a big deal, right? Nothing is more important than being alive, isn't it?" Looking at the calm composure on Madeline's face, Carter knew he had not truly won.

He did not stay long. After giving instructions to the person guarding the door, he left.

Madeline remained seated and looked at the closed door of the interrogation room. The person she was worried and concerned about was still Jeremy.

'Jeremy, you must get out of here safely.'

'I will wait for you to take me home.'

Madeline muttered silently. She was not even sure if Jeremy could sense her thoughts, but she was sure that he would take her home.

The incident at Carter's marriage had already been circulating all over the place since a few days ago. It was supposed to be the wedding day of the noble Viscount, but now, the news about his bride brazenly leaving the wedding, hand in hand with another man, went viral on the internet.

After knowing that Madeline was a married woman, the netizens, practically unanimously, denounced Madeline as being a shameless woman.

Subsequently, an unknown source leaked information that exposed Madeline's background.

After learning that Madeline's husband was, in fact, Jeremy Whitman, a well-known figure in Glendale, the netizens further boiled with rage.

On the way back, Carter too saw such content on the Internet. He also saw many male netizens mocked him, saying that it was ridiculous that a dignified viscount would be so riveted by a married woman. However, these negative opinions of Carter quickly vanished from his mind without a trace.

The Gray Manor.

As soon Carter stepped into the house, he could feel the depressing and stifling atmosphere.

When he got into the living room, he saw Camille sitting on the sofa with a dark and gloomy expression on her face. Meanwhile, Ada sat beside her and seemed cautious about speaking.

Some of the Gray family's relatives were sitting on one side, but none of them dared to be the first to break the silence.

When Ada saw Carter arrived, her eyes lit up. Then, in a soft voice, she prompted Camille.

"Aunty Cammy, Carty is back."

Camille lifted her head when she heard that. Then, she got up and walked toward Carter.
