The driver nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel when he heard what Carter said.
This did not sound like a conversation between lovers at all.
He subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror to look at Carter, who had a cold and arrogant expression.
He briefly felt Carter’s gaze on him, so the driver quickly shifted his gaze away. He then heard Madeline’s calm and composed voice.
“What’s your goal? You can be straight to the point. You don’t need to threaten me with my daughter again and again.”
“Heh.” Carter chuckled coldly at Madeline’s calm appearance. “Eveline, while you seem to be very indifferent, I know how anxious you truly are.”
Madeline clenched her fists that were hidden in her sleeves slightly.
She could not deny that Carter now fully grasped the worries in her heart.
Carter caught sight of the melancholy flashing across Madeline’s eyes, and a deeper smile appeared on Carter’s lips.
“Eveline, I told you I won’t let my child die in vain. I f you don’t want your child to meet with any more danger, then you or Jeremy must pay a small price.”
After listening to Carter’s words, Madeline raised her eyes to meet his profound gaze. “What do you want?”
Carter lifted his arrogant eyes lightly. “The perfect life I planned has been destroyed by you, and my child with Shirley is also gone now. Adam and Cathy’s deaths also made it impossible for Shirley and me to be as we were back then, to start again… ”
As he said that, he suddenly sighed deeply.
“My life seems to have completely fallen from the top to the bottom of the abyss. So, Eveline, how do you think I should retaliate against you and Jeremy?”
Carter asked with a deep smile, his eyes gleaming with hatred.
Madeline knew that Carter would not listen to her even if she tried to reason with him or tell him the facts. Moreover, he would also never admit that all of this happened because of him, so she simply did not speak further.
The driver could feel the terrifyingly weird and heavy atmosphere in the car, so he quietly picked up speed and reached the destination a short while later.
Madeline followed behind Carter into the hotel, then they took the elevator to one of the suites.
“Wait at the door.”
Carter took the room card and ordered Madeline to stop.
