However, Carter had not even bothered to look at her. “From now on, you’ll be responsible for taking care of Shirley, including her diet and daily needs. If Shirley experiences any discomfort or if the baby in her womb is harmed in any way, it’ll be on you.”
“… Wh… What?” Ada’s eyes widened in shock. “You want me to take care of Shirley’s diet and daily needs? Wouldn’t that make me her servant?”
Whenever Carter was present, Ada always attempted to appear dignified and gracious, but Carter’s words instantly made her reveal her true nature.
Carter glanced at Ada indifferently.
“You could choose not to do it. You’ll just have to be prepared that moving forward, you’ll be enduring the same hardships as Shirley.”
Ada’s face paled when she heard this. The same hardships as Shirley?
Disfigured?
Disabled?
No way!
She would not be able to endure it either!
“Let’s not waste my time, yeah?”
Impatient, Carter interrupted Ada’s quibble.
When Ada saw the piercing glint in his eyes, she immediately kept her mouth shut, not daring to speak further.
Carter did not have the patience to wait for Ada’s response, and he was confident that she would not dare to refuse his request, so he turned around and left.
Ada had not expected this move from Carter.
With that, he protected Shirley and cut off all Ada’s attempts to harm her as well.
In the coming days, if Shirley were to lose even a strand of hair, Ada might lose a piece of her skin as well.
Ada felt aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do.
