Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1840

The bodyguards understood. They immediately stepped forward and yanked Adam away with brute force.

Adam had no one at his disposal, so he raised his fist and punched one of the bodyguards.

The bodyguard missed it and got hit by Adam. Disgruntled, the bodyguard raised his hand, intending to return the punch.

At this sudden burst of fury, Shirley shouted for them to stop.

“Don’t you dare hit him!”

The bodyguard halted reactively the second Shirley spoke.

Adam was taken aback by Shirley’s behavior, but he had no time to reflect on it. He promptly avoided another bodyguard and continued to push Shirley’s wheelchair.

Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately chased after them, trying to stop Adam.

“Don’t touch him!” Shirley shouted again for them to stop. She started to feel slightly agitated. Glaring at Carter, she said hurriedly, “Carter, tell your

people to stay away from them. I won’t leave, but you’ll have to tell them to go.”

Carter calmly met Shirley’s anxious gaze. “Nobody’s leaving.”

” Shirley froze. “What do you want?”

“Don’t you have a deep sibling bond? Why are you driving your brother away now? I brought him here so that the both of you could be with each other daily. Shouldn’t you be grateful?”

Perplexed, Shirley stared at Carter when he spoke as such.

As for Carter, his lips gradually curled into a mysterious smile, an expression rarely seen on his face, then he instructed the servant standing beside him.

“Send Ms. Brown back to her room.”
