Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1654

Chapter 1654

The hotel restaurant.

Carter was holding the wine glass, staring at the night view outside the window with a cool expression.

A while later, the sound of high heels could be heard drawing close nearby.

Betraying no emotions, he took a sip of the red wine and flippantly took out the mini crystal ball he carried with him. He held it in his palm and casually played with it.

“Carter.” Then came the woman’s charming and soft voice.

Not even bothering to turn his head, he coldly uttered a single word, “Sit.”

The woman curled her red lips into a slight smile and sat across Carter, wearing a flattering smile. “Carter, I’ve already completed the task. Are you satisfied?”

Her voice was followed by a moment of silence. Then, Carter spoke coldly.

“Do you have feelings for Jeremy?” His tone was frigid. “Shirley, it was I who gave you this codename. You best not forget what you should and shouldn’t be doing.”

Hearing Carter’s words, Shirley’s expression changed suddenly. She looked at Carter nervously, losing all semblance of the lofty and easy-going attitude that she displayed in front of Jeremy and other outsiders.

“I’ve always been using Jeremy solely for my experiments and plans, Carter. You are the only man in my heart.”

Upon hearing this, Carter’s fingers ceased playing with the crystal ball.

He lifted his deep pupils, completely devoid of warmth, and looked at that alluring face of hers, but he quickly broke his gaze in disinterest.

“How long will it take to flare up again?” He asked suddenly.

Shirley instantly understood Carter’s meaning. “Suffice to say, they won’t be able to leave St. Piaf.”

She was extremely certain, a hint of victory glinted in her eyes.
