“Eveline…”
Shirley looked at Madeline who entered with slow steps. Shirley had a feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of her, but she could not put a finger on it.
Once entered, Madeline glanced at Camille with a slight smile and then shifted her gaze to Shirley.
“Are you… a friend of my fiancé?”
“…” Shirley was stunned for a moment. When she heard Madeline’s words, she was convinced that Madeline had indeed been deeply hypnotized.
Madeline’s thoughts were no longer her own. What she said and did was all per Carter’s intentions.
Shirley merely looked at Madeline without speaking.
Upon seeing that Shirley did not respond, Madeline repeated in a friendly manner.
“I remember you. You’re Shirley. I seem to have had some unpleasant experiences with you back then, but Carter told me that those are all in the past. Plus, he and I will have a wedding soon. I hope the unhappiness between us can be blown away by this joyous wedding.”
The way Madeline spoke chilled Shirley’s heart solely because the personality of the current Madeline was completely different.
Carter had changed Madeline’s entire personality.
The Madeline in front of her was not the original Madeline.
The woman in front of Shirley was speaking very softly and sweetly. She sounded like an obedient and tame girl.
Although Madeline had not been that kind of little girl for a long while, she looked delicate and her face always looked young and beautiful.
Sometimes, she would even have the air of a young girl to her.
Shirley had not considered that Carter would change Madeline into someone with this kind of personality. However, after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense.
