When Adam heard those words, he could not help but feel ridiculed.
“Why would I share the same goal with someone like you?”
“Are you certain?” Carter threw the question back with a faint smile. “Wouldn’t you want to fix the scar on your sister’s face? Wouldn’t you want to see her stand up again one day?”
At the mention of this, Adam briefly fell into an inattentive state.
Frankly, he had not expected Carter to bring him here for this reason.
Cathy was taken by surprise as well, but it also seemed reasonable to her.
Back then, she had sensed that Carter felt something for Shirley, but the emotions were buried deep within him.
Shirley, however, was unaware of the reasons behind Carter’s decision in bringing Adam and Cathy to the Gray Manor. Shirley was now settled in her room, contemplating returning downstairs to take a look when Ada entered.
When Ada saw Shirley’s worried expression, Ada smiled to herself, then sent the two servants out.
Shirley truly did not want to see Ada, but due to her current condition, she was not capable of getting rid of her.
“You’d like to know what happened downstairs, don’t you?” Ada started the conversation.
Shirley ignored Ada. She knew that even if she stayed silent, Ada would not stop talking.
Sure enough, Ada chuckled as she observed Shirley’s unruffled demeanor.
“Your brother is not very likable. Is he really not afraid that Carter would teach him a lesson when he keeps offending him like this? Is he under the impression that his crippled sister here holds some weight in Carter’s heart, and has forgotten that he is merely an ordinary doctor?”
Ada rolled her eyes scornfully. Seeing that Shirley was still unperturbed, Ada grew a little anxious.
