Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1840

The bodyguards understood. They immediately stepped forward and yanked Adam away with brute force.

Adam had no one at his disposal, so he raised his fist and punched one of the bodyguards.

The bodyguard missed it and got hit by Adam. Disgruntled, the bodyguard raised his hand, intending to return the punch.

At this sudden burst of fury, Shirley shouted for them to stop.

"Don't you dare hit him!"

The bodyguard halted reactively the second Shirley spoke.

Adam was taken aback by Shirley's behavior, but he had no time to reflect on it. He promptly avoided another bodyguard and continued to push Shirley's wheelchair.

Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately chased after them, trying to stop Adam.

"Don't touch him!" Shirley shouted again for them to stop. She started to feel slightly agitated. Glaring at Carter, she said hurriedly, "Carter, tell your

people to stay away from them. I won't leave, but you'll have to tell them to go."

Carter calmly met Shirley's anxious gaze. "Nobody's leaving."

" Shirley froze. "What do you want?"

"Don't you have a deep sibling bond? Why are you driving your brother away now? I brought him here so that the both of you could be with each other daily. Shouldn't you be grateful?" Perplexed, Shirley stared at Carter when he spoke as such.

As for Carter, his lips gradually curled into a mysterious smile, an expression rarely seen on his face, then he instructed the servant standing beside him.

"Send Ms. Brown back to her room."

"Yes, Mr. Carter." The servant acted accordingly without delay.

Naturally, Adam stepped up to stop the servant, but he heard Carter reminding him coldly, "You probably don't want to do something you'll regret, right?" Carter shifted his gaze toward Cathy as he spoke.

Cathy could sense that Carter was planning to use her to threaten Adam, but under the current circumstances, she also could not act rashly.

"Carter, you too better not do anything that you'd regret."

Shirley, who was being pushed away, turned around and gave a warning.

"If anything happens to Adam and Cathy, I swear, you won't see this little thing in my womb come into existence."

Carter's smile gradually faded at Shirley's words.

It would be a lie to say that he did not care. Of course, he cared.

Adam was intent on stopping them as he watched Shirley being pushed away, but the two bodyguards stood before him with an overbearing presence.

He did not mind fighting the two men, but he considered Cathy.

"Carter, what are you playing at?" Adam went straight to the point.

He certainly did not believe Carter would be so kind to bring him over for a sibling reunion. It was so nonsensical that even he could not believe it.

Carter glanced at Shirley who had gone upstairs, turned around leisurely, and sat down on the sofa.

"Carter, I believe you're aware that I've already conducted a thorough investigation into your case."

Adam walked up to Carter. "Using your personal resources to spy on other people's private affairs. Carter, you're truly despicable."

"I've never claimed that I'm a man of honor." Carter chuckled. "Adam, I won't beat around the bush with you. I brought you here for one particular reason, and I believe that you'll certainly want to do it."
