Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1735

Chapter 1735

With that, Carter turned and left with a carefree demeanor.

Madeline, staring at Carter’s back as he walked away with such finality, felt slightly uneasy.

She felt her chest tightened upon seeing the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent shattered on the snow.

Noticing the changes in Madeline’s mood, Jeremy, whose face was surprisingly happy, held her hand and comforted her.

“Linnie, I know you’re worried about me, but your condition is more urgent now. Even if poison inside me were to flare up, it wouldn’t be much of a problem with Adam around. However, it’s a different story for you. Carter would never genuinely give you the anti-toxoid test reagent.”

Madeline could not deny that Jeremy had a point. Nonetheless, she was still fairly upset seeing the shattered vial.

Once Carter had left, Madeline and Jeremy returned to the guest room once again.

Jeremy examined the room’s condition and inspected the puddle of blood.

It was indeed human blood, and judging from the state of which it had dried up, this incident had likely happened not long ago.

“Jeremy, who do you think wanted to kidnap Shirley? What would they benefit from kidnapping Shirley?”

Jeremy, who seemed to be in thought, did not answer Madeline’s question, but instead responded with a question of his own. “Linnie, what kind of relationship do you think Carter and Shirley have?”

Madeline pondered for a few seconds and said, “Honestly, I think Carter has romantic feelings towards Shirley.

“You’re saying that Carter has feelings for Shirley?”

“Yes.” Madeline nodded. “That’s what I think.”

“I think so too. Carter doesn’t merely think of Shirley as a pawn,” Jeremy agreed, then his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. “I have an idea who is likely to be behind this. This kind of trick could kill two birds with one stone, and there’s only one person who would benefit most from this.”

As Jeremy analyzed the situation, his deep eyes flickered with foresight.
