Carter looked at Madeline with a faint smile. “You got it all right. In fact, you’ve already noticed something and suspected that something was wrong with the drink, isn’t that right? That was still very smart of you, Eveline, but it’s too late.”
Madeline looked warily at Carter who had a sly smile on his face. She tried to use her cell phone to call Jeremy inconspicuously, but the bodyguard on the side suddenly came over and snatched Madeline’s cell phone away.
“Give that back!” Madeline reached out to grab it. However, Carter took a step toward her suddenly.
Carter was tall. Although Madeline was not short, there was still a height difference between them when she was standing in front of the man.
Carter’s figure oppressed her.
Madeline wanted to escape, but Carter suddenly grabbed her wrist and cornered Madeline between the wall and himself.
Madeline frowned. She raised her eyes and looked into Carter’s deep eyes.
“Now, Eveline, look into my eyes. What do you see?” Carter asked.
Madeline was dazed for two seconds, then she quickly avoided Carter’s sight.
“Carter, don’t even think about hypnotizing me anymore. I won’t be fooled again, and I won’t be at your mercy again! ”
As Madeline spoke, she raised her foot, attempting to kick the most vulnerable part of the man.
However, Carter seemed to have already seen through Madeline’s intentions early on. He countered Madeline and inhibited her movements.
“I don’t want you to suffer any physical pain, but if you want to continue resisting, I can only be rough with you.”
“Carter, you are so despicable.”
“I just want to let you have a taste of your own medicine, ” Carter said lightly. “My child became a pool of blood because of Jeremy. I have to make him pay the price.”
He paused momentarily, then resumed speaking.
“While Jeremy loves those three children as well, but in the end, they don’t compare to you.”
