Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1641

Carter frowned when he heard the words. “Speaking of motive…”

His eyes raised, looking ahead. He seemed about to start speaking, but he stopped himself, his gaze then returned to Madeline’s face.

“By now, I assume my status should be clear to you?”

Madeline calmly met Carter’s eyes, looking straight into his black pupils. “Well, noble viscount, do you intend to use your identity to suppress us husband and wife?”

Carter could hear the irony in Madeline’s words, but he did not care for it. Instead, he showed a rare gentle smile.

“Frankly, I’ve become very fond of you after these few days. You’re a very smart woman, and I need a knowledgeable woman like you by my side, but it’s a pity that your heart has never been mine. I couldn’t control you even with hypnotism, that’s why I could only give up.”

Carter seemed resigned as his long eyebrows raised slightly.

“Since this is the case, the both of you would have no choice but to bear this consequence together. Compared to being saved by me at sea, bigamy probably is not a big deal to you, isn’t that right?”

Madeline curled her beautiful lips and smirked. “Yeah, compared to Mr. Carter’s gracious act in saving my life, putting me behind bars isn’t a big deal, right? Nothing is more important than being alive, isn’t it?”

Looking at the calm composure on Madeline’s face, Carter knew he had not truly won.

He did not stay long. After giving instructions to the person guarding the door, he left.

Madeline remained seated and looked at the closed door of the interrogation room. The person she was worried and concerned about was still Jeremy.

‘Jeremy, you must get out of here safely.’

‘I will wait for you to take me home.’

Madeline muttered silently. She was not even sure if Jeremy could sense her thoughts, but she was sure that he would take her home.

The incident at Carter’s marriage had already been circulating all over the place since a few days ago. It was supposed to be the wedding day of the noble Viscount, but now, the news about his bride brazenly leaving the wedding, hand in hand with another man, went viral on the internet.

After knowing that Madeline was a married woman, the netizens, practically unanimously, denounced Madeline as being a shameless woman.

Subsequently, an unknown source leaked information that exposed Madeline’s background.

After learning that Madeline’s husband was, in fact, Jeremy Whitman, a well-known figure in Glendale, the netizens further boiled with rage.

On the way back, Carter too saw such content on the Internet. He also saw many male netizens mocked him, saying that it was ridiculous that a dignified viscount would be so riveted by a married woman.

However, these negative opinions of Carter quickly vanished from his mind without a trace.

The Gray Manor.

As soon Carter stepped into the house, he could feel the depressing and stifling atmosphere.

When he got into the living room, he saw Camille sitting on the sofa with a dark and gloomy expression on her face. Meanwhile, Ada sat beside her and seemed cautious about speaking.

Some of the Gray family’s relatives were sitting on one side, but none of them dared to be the first to break the silence.

When Ada saw Carter arrived, her eyes lit up. Then, in a soft voice, she prompted Camille.

“Aunty Cammy, Carty is back.”

Camille lifted her head when she heard that. Then, she got up and walked toward Carter.

“Where’s Eveline? Did you get her husband Jeremy?”

Carter nodded with an indifferent expression.

“They are in the police station now. Jeremy might be fine, but Eveline…”

He paused, looking at an expectant Ada.

Indeed, she was waiting for something bad to happen to Madeline.

“What about Eveline? Will she be convicted of bigamy?” Camille enquired. She was quite fond of Madeline, actually. Moreover, before the wedding, she had already known about the real situation. She did not want to proceed with the wedding, but there was no way for her to stop Carter.

Even though this might embarrass Carter, she still hoped, from the bottom of her heart, that Madeline would not get into trouble for bigamy.

“How did the police come just in time?” Camille asked in confusion.

Deep down, Ada wanted to take the credit for her achievement. At least she had helped Carter restore some of his reputation.

As she was considering whether to tell them, she heard Carter asking her, “You’re the one who called the police, right?”

Ada could not wait to be praised and gain a favorable impression from Camille. When she heard this, she nodded repeatedly, but still pretended to be endearing. She frowned, with a concerned look on her face, and said, “This woman committed bigamy. I can’t stand by and watch her fool Carty like this. She reaped what she had sown and deserved to be punished!”

“I see, so it was you who called the police.” Camille peered at Ada who was waiting to be praised. “How can you act on your own? Don’t you know that this will harm Eveline?”

“…” Ada thought Camille would commend her. Hearing Camille blaming her at this moment confused her. “Aunty Cammy, did you forget? Eveline has a husband. How can Carty get married to a woman like this? She committed bigamy, so she only has herself to blame.”

“Even if she did commit bigamy, that’s our business, Ada. Don’t interfere with the Gray family’s matters any further. Also, I’m going to make this explicitly clear to you. You’ll never end up with Carter. You no longer need to plot, and you don’t need to ingratiate yourself with me. I can’t stand the sight of scums who scheme behind people’s back!”

“…”

Ada’s face flushed red in embarrassment. She had not seen this coming.

Camille had mercilessly condemned her in front of many others.

She had thought that, with Madeline in trouble, she had a chance to replace her. How did her plan backfire so quickly in the end?

She was aware that she had completely infuriated Camille.

However, she had not expected Camille to have such a good impression of Madeline. Otherwise, how would she side with Madeline at this moment?

Ada reluctantly endured the gaze of those witnessing this scene unfold. She could only walk away resentfully.

This was the first time Camille was this angry. She waited until her friends and family had left, then she sternly criticized Carter.

“Carter, why did you harm Eveline with such means? She’s a pretty good woman. I can understand if you’re using her to drive away Ada, but how could you make her bear the crime of bigamy? You know that the St. Piaf marriage laws on bigamy could ruin her entire life!”

Camille’s words were serious, and she meant business.

However, Carter leisurely took off his suit jacket and said irreverently, “It’s because she is a good woman, I want to marry her, but now…”

He paused. Then, he added insipidly, “This path is of her choosing. Regardless of the consequences, she’ll have to bear it herself.”

Carter headed upstairs when he finished speaking.

After hearing this, Camille felt that something was not quite right. She thought it over and immediately made a call. After the call, she went to her room for a change of clothes, and then asked the driver to fetch her somewhere.

The police station.

Even though Jeremy’s behavior obstructed the police officers’ duty, the circumstances were not considered that bad, so he managed to quickly bail himself out.

However, he stood in front of the police station door, his steps slowed, and he was unable to take another step.

Madeline was still inside. There was a high chance that she would be charged with bigamy.

“Linnie.”

Jeremy clenched his fingers, and a firm conviction emerged deep within his eyes.

“I’ll make sure you’ll reach home safely. Wait for me.”

He gave his promise. He also believed that Madeline could sense his feelings.

A few moments after Jeremy had left, a luxurious car gradually stopped in front of the main entrance.

Camille grabbed her bag and gracefully got out of the car.

Madeline just finished with her statement and was following the officer out of the interrogation room. As she reached the door, to her surprise, she saw Camille walking toward her.

The police officer leading Camille was very courteous. He motioned to a junior police officer to take Madeline back to the interrogation room again.

Camille and Madeline met eyes. When she saw the handcuffs on Madeline’s wrists, Camille gave the police officer next to her a look.

The police officer quickly understood. He asked the officer next to him to remove the handcuffs.

Madeline naturally felt much more at ease without the restraints.

“I have something to discuss with Miss Montgomery. Could I trouble you two to wait outside for a moment?” Camille spoke very politely, but her tone sounded more like a demand and a command.

The police officer understood what Camille meant and left the interrogation room with the junior officer.

Camille looked at Madeline and pointed at the chair in front of her. “Come, let’s sit down and chat.”

Madeline could tell that Camille’s words had power here. Moreover, Camille was able to make them remove her handcuffs. This was not something someone with a normal status could do.

“Thank you,” Madeline expressed her gratitude and sat in the chair in front of Camille.

“You don’t need to thank me. I just wanted to return the favor.” Camille’s tone was flat, and her face looked calm.

Madeline understood quickly. “Favor? You’re referring to the time I prevented you from eating peanuts?”
