Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1868

“That was not my intention. Madam Gray and I merely share the same sentiment, that you should keep quiet if you have nothing better to say. Your words would bring your husband Carter trouble.”

As Madeline spoke, her brow furrowed as she elegantly picked up her teacup and took a sip of black tea.

“Furthermore, in terms of people who’d benefit from Adam and Cathy’s deaths, Carter won’t gain anything at all. On the contrary, their deaths have caused him some significant losses. If he had set the fire, wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?”

” ….” Ada had not expected Madeline to analyze the issue from that perspective.

Ada felt uneasy as she recalled the words which she had unintentionally blurted out yesterday. She wondered if Madeline was acting this way because of what Ada had said.

Regardless of whether that was true or not, Camille, however, was clearly very satisfied with Madeline’s remark.

“Mrs. Whitman is correct. There’s no reason for Carter to harm others without benefiting himself. So, this was simply an accident.”

“No, Madam Gray. Although the case can be ruled out for Carter, there is another suspect.”

Madeline’s eyes were fixed on the guilt-ridden Ada.

From the expression of Madeline’s gaze, Ada could sense that Madeline suspected her. When Ada saw that Camille’s gaze also shifted toward her, Ada took preemptive measures.

“Eveline, why are you looking at me? Could it be that you’re suspecting me? I don’t even know Adam and Cathy. What reason do I have for harming them? You’d better not speak nonsense.”

Ada, revealing her malicious side, stared daggers at Madeline as if warning her.

Despite Camille’s dislike for Ada, she believed that Ada was innocent at the moment.

“Mrs. Whitman, I think this was simply an accident. Ada, Adam, and Cathy were not exactly acquainted. She had neither reason nor motive to harm them.”

“No, she does have a reason. ” Madeline locked her piercing gaze on Ada’s bewildered expression.
