Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1751

When Shirley heard the sound of footsteps, she knew Carter was here.

She knew she would not be able to hide at this moment, so she could only face him.

However, she still did not dare to show the ugly half of her face to the man she looked up to and admired. The moment Carter appeared, she turned her body and hid her right cheek that was scarred so that Carter could not see. She only allowed him to see her left cheek that still looked flawless, smooth, and charming.

As for her crippled legs, she could only continue sitting on the bed while pretending as if she was carefree.

Carter looked at Shirley who was sitting motionlessly on the bed and moved his long legs to take two steps closer to the bed.

He noticed the coldness on Shirley’s face.

“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Carter questioned right after he opened his mouth. His tone sounded extremely cold.

However, after he said that, his face gradually fell when he saw that Shirley was ignoring him.

“ Shirley,” he called out her name, his tone laced with anger that was on the verge of overflowing.

Cathy glanced at Shirley, and when she saw Carter trying to get close to Shirley, Cathy went up to stop him.

“Mr. Gray, Miss Brown doesn’t want to see you now. I hope you can respect her wishes.”

Carter was forced to stop in his tracks. His displeased gaze landed on Cathy’s face irreverently.

His eyes were suddenly filled with admiration.

“I never knew you were so courageous back when we were in St. Piaf Academy. However, you were in St. Piaf for so long, so you should know me quite well. Are you sure you want to challenge my prestige?”
