Chapter 1591
Jeremy looked at the lying butler and did not waste his time questioning him. He followed Carter’s entourage into the living room.
Carter was sitting on the sofa of the living room. He was flipping through a book lazily while sipping on his tea. When he saw Jeremy, he put down his book and teacup before getting up to greet him courteously.
“Mr. Whitman, welcome to my house. Please sit.”
Jeremy looked around the living room but did not see Madeline anywhere. He furrowed his brows and felt an unknown sense of anxiety in his heart.
“Mr. Gray, I’m not here as a guest. I’m here to take my wife Eveline home.” Jeremy was feeling agitated, but he was trying his best to control himself and stay cool.
Carter looked at the deeply worried look that was showing faintly in Jeremy’s eyes. However, he displayed a confused look instead.
“I’ve asked my driver to drive Mrs. Whitman home ten minutes ago. Did she not tell you?”
“You asked your driver to send my wife home?” Jeremy was confused. He had been waiting at the gate the entire time and did not see any cars coming or going.
“Yeah,” Carter answered with certainty. Then, he explained, “When we send our guests off, we’ll normally use the back door. So you might not have run into them on the road that leads to the front door.”
This explanation sounded reasonable, but it felt off to Jeremy.
“If you don’t believe me, you can call her now to ask if she’s on her way back,” Carter reminded him.
Jeremy did not hesitate before taking out his phone to call Madeline. After ringing for a while, she picked up the phone.
“Linnie, where are you now? Are you home?” Jeremy asked impatiently.
