Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1826

“Are you going to leave just like that?”

Ada abruptly stopped in her tracks. She felt awfully uneasy, but she still turned around, feigning innocence and a wounded expression on her face.

She saw Shirley, who was seated in her wheelchair, approached the doorway slowly.

“Ms. Brown, you’ve won. I don’t want to stay and be humiliated.”

“ I’ve won?” Shirley was confused when she heard this.

Carter had intentionally kept his voice down during his conversation with Ada, especially when he had spoken those few sentences. He had not wanted Shirley to hear them.

As a result, Shirley was not aware of how important she was to Carter.

Now, she merely found Ada’s words amusing.

“Mrs. Gray, do I look like a winner to you? My legs are crippled, and my face is disfigured. I’ll be useless for the rest of my life. How am I a winner? Should I be honored that you did all of this personally?”

Sure enough, Shirley revealed it!

Ada flinched and immediately denied, “Ms. Brown, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that I’m responsible for your predicament? Why would… why would I do such a thing to you? Carter, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’ve never done such

harmful things. Ms. Brown is falsely accusing me.”

As Ada’s voice fell, another voice followed.

“She’s not falsely accusing you. I saw everything that night.”

Ada turned around sharply and saw Cathy walking down the corridor with Camille.
