Chapter 1468
She also noticed that the man was not looking at her with as much suspicion and inquiries anymore. On the other hand, he seemed to understand the entire situation now. “So is this why you only praised Jeremy and said Eveline is so-so when you saw their photos last time?”
“Yes,” Madeline replied cooperatively. Then, she praised, “You’re so smart, Mr. Carter. You’ve seen through everything.”
The man gave her a fake smile when he heard that. Then, he looked at Madeline with a sneer on the corners of his lips. Madeline felt a little guilty when looking at him.
“The number one socialite in Glendale, Eveline Montgomery, is only so-so to you. I guess you really despise Jeremy. At the same time, you must also despise that Eveline Montgomery who has the same name as you, right?”
“…” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she answered with a deeper meaning, “That’s right, I hate the woman next to Jeremy even more. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have become like this.”
‘That’s right. Things only became like this after her appearance.’
Madeline despised the imposter who was impersonating her. How could she not hate the fake that was staying next to Jeremy?
After the man scanned Madeline’s face, he said, “I’ll ask someone to send your dinner here. Rest after you finish eating.”
“Thank you, Mr. Carter.” Madeline thanked him quickly.
The man looked into Madeline’s eyes before nodding. Then, he turned around to leave.
After she saw the door closing, Madeline let out a sigh of relief.
‘He believes me, right?’
The reason she made up sounded pretty convincing.
However, why was this man investigating Jeremy?
Madeline could not wrap her head around this. Then, she recalled what happened on the streets not long ago.
‘Jeremy, why did you give me the umbrella?
‘Is it because I gave you a special feeling?’
‘Matriarch?
‘So, is this woman the man’s wife?’
Madeline pondered. When she was about to greet her politely, the maid next to her introduced, “This is the woman Mr. Carter saved at sea back then.”
When the woman heard that, her expression changed as her eyes looked aggressive. “It’s you! So the reason Carty ignored me back then is because of you?”
“…” Madeline did not know what was going on. Then, she saw the woman stomping over to her. After that, she reached out her hand to try to remove Madeline’s mask.
“I want to see what you look like. I want to know why Carty is ignoring me!”
Madeline did not expect her to react so violently. When she was about to dodge from her, a hand landed on her shoulder and held her suddenly.
“What are you doing?”
