Shirley could see Carter’s extreme dissatisfaction, and she could also guess what he would do next.
Others might fear Carter because of his status and identity, but she was not.
“Carter, I know that you’re very dissatisfied now and that you’re pissed, but why are you? You’re the one who decided to get to where you are today.
Everyone needs to be responsible for their decisions. Just like how I killed my child after developing AXP69.”
Shirley’s last sentence undoubtedly triggered Carter.
It was like something had gotten into his eyes and turned them red immediately.
He looked straight at the woman who was determined to pull him down from his grace. A self- mocking smirk appeared on his dejected and icy face, and then he turned around and left without saying a word.
Carter left just like that.
The people in front of him made way for him accommodatingly.
Without explaining himself or fighting back, he walked into the crowd alone and disappeared into the extravagant Royal Palace.
Shirley turned her wheelchair and looked toward the direction where Carter left. Her heart which was covered in flesh and blood hurt immensely.
She knew Carter could never reach the height he longed for in this life anymore.
His final wish, and the life that he yearned for, ended right there.
However, Shirley did not regret doing this.
When Jim’s mother saw this from one side, she nearly did not hide her smile with her hand.
Carter had failed, and the only person who could get the right to rule was her son!
