Even if he had to go into a tiger’s den, Jeremy would barge in without hesitation.
Carter already knew what Jeremy would do.
He walked in front of Jeremy and led the way into the living room. He then told a maid, “Go and ask the future young madam to come downstairs.”
The maid obediently followed suit and went upstairs to a certain room.
Future young madam?
Jeremy was suspicious. He knew that, back then, Carter had been married to Ada.
Ada had been arrested for the crimes she committed and was still in prison, but Carter and Ada had probably canceled their marriage during this time.
However, was Carter getting married again so soon? Was Shirley the bride?
Jeremy was suspicious, but this was the only possibility.
Carter could guess Jeremy’s thoughts from the look in Jeremy’s eyes. He lifted the corner of his lips and
glanced in a certain direction on the second floor.
“You must be wondering who is the woman I’ll be marrying soon, aren’t you, Mr. Whitman? You’ll meet her soon.”
After Carter had spoken, there were movements at the top of the stairs.
For some reason, Jeremy felt his heart racing. The moment he lifted his eyes, he saw the face that he had been thinking about day and night.
“Linnie! ” Jeremy called Madeline’s name and ran to the stairs.
Madeline, however, stopped in her tracks, her beautiful eyes, filled with curiosity, scanned Jeremy’s face before looking at Carter.
