Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1929

"Eveline..."

Shirley looked at Madeline who entered with slow steps. Shirley had a feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of her, but she could not put a finger on it.

Once entered, Madeline glanced at Camille with a slight smile and then shifted her gaze to Shirley.

"Are you... a friend of my fiancé?"

"..." Shirley was stunned for a moment. When she heard Madeline's words, she was convinced that Madeline had indeed been deeply hypnotized.

Madeline's thoughts were no longer her own. What she said and did was all per Carter's intentions.

Shirley merely looked at Madeline without speaking.

Upon seeing that Shirley did not respond, Madeline repeated in a friendly manner.

"I remember you. You're Shirley. I seem to have had some unpleasant experiences with you back then, but Carter told me that those are all in the past. Plus, he and I will have a wedding soon. I hope the unhappiness between us can be blown away by this joyous wedding."

The way Madeline spoke chilled Shirley's heart solely because the personality of the current Madeline was completely different.

Carter had changed Madeline's entire personality.

The Madeline in front of her was not the original Madeline.

The woman in front of Shirley was speaking very softly and sweetly. She sounded like an obedient and tame girl.

Although Madeline had not been that kind of little girl for a long while, she looked delicate and her face always looked young and beautiful.

Sometimes, she would even have the air of a young girl to her.

Shirley had not considered that Carter would change Madeline into someone with this kind of personality. However, after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense.

Carter would have an easier time controlling Madeline with such a personality.

It would be very hard for him to get close to the old Madeline.

After a while, Shirley reacted. "You're right, those unhappy things are all in the past."

Shirley paused as she said that. She looked intensely at Madeline who was smiling softly, hoping Madeline detect the unusualness in Shirley's eyes. "Eveline, do you still remember what happened in the past? Do you remember what those unhappy things were?"

Madeline stared blankly at Shirley when she heard that. After a moment of pondering, she was about to speak when Camille, who was standing at one side, stood up suddenly.

"Eveline, let's leave. Shirley is a patient and she needs to rest. We can't disturb her for too long."

Camille spoke as she held Madeline's hand to lead her out of the room.

Shirley was not an idiot. She could feel that Camille did not want her to speak too much with Madeline.

This could only mean that Camille also knew that Madeline had been hypnotized by Carter.

Camille was worried that if Shirley spoke too much with Madeline, she would be able to wake Madeline's consciousness.

However, not everyone could break Carter's advanced hypnosis so easily.

After taking Madeline away, Camille asked the maid to take good care of Shirley.

She, however, felt conflicted when she faced Madeline right now.

She was grateful for the time Madeline prevented a disaster from happening when Madeline saved Camille from eating peanuts.

It was not at all an exaggeration to say that it would have been a disaster. Camille knew very well what would happen to her after she ate peanuts.

"After so many years, I'm finally marrying Carter. I'm so happy."
