Chapter 1630
“Yes, Mr. Carter,” one of the maids quickly responded and walked to Madeline’s side.
Madeline glanced at Carter who was as calm as ever and then at the doughty bodyguards beside him. She did not have another choice except to go back to the room.
After returning, Madeline looked at the remaining bloodstains on the floor. When she thought of Jeremy bleeding out in pain just now, her heart ached.
“Jeremy…”
Madeline fiddled with the wedding ring on her ring finger. When she thought about her cold attitude toward Jeremy before, she felt even more embarrassed.
Click.
The door was suddenly opened again.
Madeline looked up and saw Carter holding the doorknob as he stood leisurely in front of the room.
“Tomorrow’s wedding ceremony will be held as usual. I hope Miss Montgomery can continue to cooperate with me. I think you should also want to see Jeremy leave St. Piaf safely.”
After he said that, Carter closed the door decisively.
Madeline clenched her fingers and looked at the moon outside the French windows.
‘Jeremy, I’ve taken the wrong step.
‘I shouldn’t have acted on my own initiative.’
Madeline suffered all night in self-blame. When the sky started to turn bright the next day, a maid came in and announced to Madeline that she was here to help her get dressed.
Thinking of Carter’s threatening words of reminder last night, Madeline chose to cooperate.
After more than half an hour of torment, Camille came in. Her dress today looked more luxurious, looking as if she was dripping in jewels.
