Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1771

Madeline and Jeremy’s expressions changed at the same time.

Additionally, Madeline saw the confident smile on Carter’s face, and it seemed that he truly knew Lilian’s whereabouts.

Her heart started to race. She wanted to know Lillia’s whereabouts. She desperately wanted to know, no matter how insignificant a clue.

However, knowing Carter, how would he reveal to them this information so easily?

Jeremy too shared the same thought.

He looked at Carter, and his seductive lips curved into an intriguing smile.

“I didn’t expect you to have such an understanding of my daughter’s location, Mr. Gray. In that case, I truly want to seek your counsel. Where is my daughter?”

Carter smiled knowingly in turn. “Mr. Whitman, you’re a businessman. You should understand that to get something valuable, you’d need to offer

something in exchange.”

“What do you want?” Jeremy asked directly.

“I want 50% of the Whitman Corporation’s share, ” Carter said bluntly.

Jeremy remained calm when he heard that.

He was about to speak, but Madeline was one step ahead of him.

She grinned, seemingly gentle and sweet, but her beautiful eyes shone with a rare edge.

“Mr. Gray, you truly know how to crack a joke. My husband and I would not hesitate to agree even if you had asked for 1oo%, let alone 50%. My daughter is priceless. Do you understand what I mean, Mr. Gray?”

Upon hearing Madeline’s words, he gave a low chuckle.

“You’re right, Mrs. Whitman. I was indeed joking. How could I measure your precious daughter with physical objects?”

Carter followed Madeline’s cue and extricated himself from the situation.

“It’s just that, before the day arrived, Yorick was arrested, and Fabian’s sister Lana died. On Fabian’s 18th birthday, he was all alone.”

Madeline and Jeremy could tell what Carter was insinuating as he spoke.

He was implying that Yorick and Lana’s death were all related to Jeremy.

“Alright, that’s all I know. If you’re worried,  Mr. and Mrs. Whitman, you could immediately head over to F Country and bring your precious daughter back. That young man might do something irreversible if you’re too late.”

Carter’s voice slowly fell away as he finished speaking. He chuckled, then turned around to leave.

After Carter had left, Jeremy took Madeline’s hand and walked toward the office.

“Linnie, I’ll book the tickets now. We’ll go to F Country immediately.”     

“Jeremy.” Madeline abruptly stopped walking, and with a solemn expression, looked into Jeremy’s confused eyes.

Jeremy too stopped walking. “Linnie, what’s wrong?”
