Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1778

Cathy and Adam could not help but sympathize with Shirley as she tried to suppress her pain.

"Two days from now, you'll accompany me to this hotel."

Shirley turned to Cathy and requested.

"I'll give you a handsome reward. On that day, you must stick with me. You'll do whatever I ask you to do."

When Adam heard this, he thought it pathetic." Shirley, what do you mean? Are you going to attend Carter's wedding? You'd even want Cathy as your bodyguard?"

Shirley held back her tears. She then lifted her red but beautiful eyes, displaying a meaningful smile, and looked at Cathy, then at Adam.

"She said it, didn't she? I have the right to choose, and I choose to attend the wedding. Don't tell me that it's not allowed?"

"." Adam was momentarily speechless. However, he quickly snapped back, "Alright, you want to go, huh? You can go alone. Cathy will not be your maid."

"She can do whatever she likes. If she won't go, I can hire other people. There are a lot of money-minded people who are willing to wait on and serve me." Shirley's attitude was firm. She then operated her wheelchair to head toward the stairs.

Seeing Shirley's figure as Shirley put on a brave front, Cathy felt as if she had seen her old self.

Back then, she had also been this stubborn for Felipe.

However, in the end... Everything went up in smoke.

"Shirley, have you truly thought it through? Are you sure you want to attend his wedding looking like this?"

Adam asked, looking at Shirley's back. His tone was not as harsh as before, sounding much gentler instead.

"Are you certain that you'd want to torment yourself by witnessing his wonderful wedding ceremony with his beautiful wife, while you're in a wheelchair, wearing a half-disfigured face?"

Shirley pressed the start button on the wheelchair and turned her back at Adam. After a while, she spoke slowly.

"Back then, I loved to fantasize. I'd even longed to wear a wedding dress so much that I'd dreamt about it. I'd wanted to hold my beloved's arm and

walk into the hall of holy matrimony. I'd wanted to let him see me in a wedding dress. Would he be so shocked and moved to tears like those male leads in movies..."

As Shirley spoke, her voice deepened, and suddenly, she burst out laughing, then spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Now, I won't be able to see myself in a wedding dress, but I don't think it's illegal to go and see him in a suit, right?"

Her voice gently fell, but when Adam heard that, his heart started to feel extraordinarily heavy.

"Adam, why don't I make a deal with you?" Shirley turned her wheelchair around.

"As long as you let me attend this wedding without a hitch, I'll go and surrender myself to the police then. I'll come clean and tell the police all the selfish things I've done.

"In the future, I'll no longer be needing you to care for me as well. I'll be spending the rest of my life in prison."

Shirley smiled and looked at a dazed Adam.

"If you're not going to speak, I'll take your silence as consent. It's a deal then."

In F Country.

After Madeline had arrived, she did not replace a hotel. She instead got into a car and went straight to the small house she had lived in for three years in F Country. She tried to use her fingerprint to unlock the door and realized that the lock had not been changed.

Back then, she had only rented this house, but when she became successful in her career, she bought the place.

She still clearly remembered that she had been pregnant with Lillian here, and she had also lived here for two years with Lillian.

Madeline took out her phone and looked at the screensaver that was their family photo.

"Lily, I'm coming to replace you now."
