Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1752

Shirley sounded very decisive.

Carter seemed to be stumped for words for a while. Then, he tugged the corners of his lips.

“Shirley, do you know what you’re saying?”

“I do. I know what I said,”   Shirley answered slowly without even lifting her beautiful  eyes.  “I’ve thought it through, and I won’t let you manipulate me like an idiot. We were just using each other anyway, Mr. Gray. You used me to reach your goals, and to be honest, I was also just using you.”

When Carter heard this answer, he felt as if he had heard a huge joke.

“You were using me?” He scoffed and asked, “What were you using me for?”

“You still can’t tell what I was using you for?” Shirley asked. The corner of her red lip that looked slightly pale was lifted in a disdainful smile.

“The first time I met you, I knew you could  give me a life of luxury and the best education.

“I was just pretending to be pitiful to gain pity from you and Camille. I wanted you guys to keep me in Gray Manor, I wanted to make you reluctant to have me leave. I wanted you to plead with camille yourself so that I could stay to become your playmate and study buddy.”

“Hmph. ” As Shirley said that, she chuckled while feeling pleased with herself. “Carter, I’m very good at acting, right? You must have thought that I was so in love with you and I couldn’t live without you so I would be willing to do anything for you, right?

You’re wrong. We were just using each other. I was only pretending when I was with you, and now, this is the true colors of Shirley Brown.”

After hearing what Shirley said, Carter did not have the previous look of anger on his face anymore.

He looked at Shirley who had never once looked at him since he entered and eventually asked after a long while, “Are you sure you’re telling the truth?”

“Of course, ” Shirley answered decisively. The corners of her beautiful eyes were slightly lifted as she scanned Carter’s face coldly.

When he turned around and saw Adam glaring at him, he gave him the same warning.

“It’s best if you don’t meddle in Jeremy Whitman’s business. If not, both of you will suffer the consequences.”

After Carter said that, he strode away. When he walked past Adam, it seemed that he used all of his might to bump into Adam’s shoulder.

Adam was caught off guard and crashed into the doorframe after stumbling backward.

“Adam.” Cathy quickly ran to Adam. When she saw the wounds on his face, she knew that Adam had put his life on the line to fight with Carter to stop him. However, an elegant gentleman like Adam would never be able to defeat a man who had been trained and knew how to fight.

“Adam, are you okay? Your wounds… I should treat your wounds for you.” Cathy looked at Adam in concern.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. ” Adam comforted Cathy. When he was about to say something to Shirley, he suddenly heard a muffled thud coming from the side of the bed.
