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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1651

Jeremy turned around, calm and composed. With an indifferent expression, he faced the woman who was walking toward him.

“The sudden flaring of the poison in my body wasn’t due to chance, but rather a scheme, correct?” Jeremy asked directly. “You’ve never been helping me from the start, were you, Shirley, or should I call you Ms. Brown?”

Shirley, one arm folded while the other held a thin and long cigarette, leisurely took a long drag, and walked toward Jeremy while puffing away.

“When you thought you were at death’s door and then decided to leave Eveline willingly before serendipitously meeting me, the ‘doctor’, on the plane–all of this was indeed a scheme”.

Shirley, her red lips curled, walked toward Jeremy and stopped in front of him.

“I’m quite moved by you, actually, but I enjoy conducting experiments even more. However, I’m not the same as Adam. He likes to save people, while I like to… harm people.”

She admitted with a magnanimous look, the smile on her grew more intense.

Jeremy inexplicably felt the woman in front of him to be completely unfamiliar. In the past, she had always seemed like a nice person. During those moments being tormented by the poison, she had come to his aid, and his situation had indeed stabilized ever since.

Judging from what the woman was saying now, however, she had never been helping him. She only wanted to achieve her personal goals.

Shirley smiled and took another drag of smoke.

“Jeremy, you’re truly quite smart. I originally intended to continue this pretense, but you immediately asked me if I was scheming against you as you came out, so I figured that I shouldn’t beat around the bush any further.”

“Then don’t. What are you trying to do? Are you planning to use the poison in my body to continue treating me as your experimental subject or what?”

“No.” Shirley chuckled and shook her head, the corner of her eyes crinkling. “Let me tell you then. You and Eveline can’t leave St. Piaf unless you pay a certain price.”

“Is this what you wanted to remind me as per your message?”

“That’s right.”

“Heh.” Jeremy could not help but burst out laughing lightly, his eyes were filled with suspicion. “Don’t you think that you’re contradicting yourself? Shirley, are you reminding me this because you have good intentions? The fact that you’re making the situation sound so serious must imply that you have another motive?”

As he said this, Jeremy suddenly felt something was amiss.

Linnie!

He suddenly thought of something. His expression changed abruptly, and he strode vigorously toward the room.

However, for some reason, the key card in his hands could not unlock the hotel room door.

In a moment of panic, Jeremy’s heartbeat lost all control. He yelled at the door of the room. “Linnie, Linnie!”

Jeremy yelled a couple of times, yet Madeline’s response could not be heard.

“Linnie!”

Bang bang bang!

Jeremy banged the door with force. In the absence of Madeline’s response, he was panicking so much that he was about to kick the door open.

Just as he lifted his leg, the door opened with a click.

A drowsy Madeline, eyes hazy, looked at Jeremy’s anxious face, which immediately banished Madeline’s sleepiness. “Jeremy, what’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered? Where did you go?”

Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hands and examined Madeline all over. Once he had verified that she was fine, he then let out a sigh of relief.

He subconsciously looked back at Shirley, but he realized that this woman was no longer in the corridor.

Noticing Jeremy’s movement, Madeline also lifted her eyes to look over, but she did not see anything.

“Jeremy, are you okay?” Inevitably, she was worried.

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and pulled her back to the middle of the room, closing the door tightly behind him.

“Linnie, you have to be careful when you meet Carter tonight.”

He solemnly reminded her. Madeline could tell that something was wrong.

“Jeremy, did something happen?”

“I don’t know how I should say this. In short, after we’ve met Carter tonight, we leave this place immediately.”

“Yeah, okay.” Madeline still felt that this was strange, but she did not enquire further.

However, she could clearly feel that Jeremy’s palm, which was holding hers, turned slightly cold.

‘Jeremy, what are you scared of? Or is this because of the poison?’

Madeline pondered anxiously. This feeling persisted until 7 p.m.

Camille called. She told Madeline that Carter was already waiting in the hotel restaurant, and Madeline could head over now.

However, Camille also added a reminder. “Carter said he’ll only meet with you alone, so do ask your husband to wait for you someplace else and not at the restaurant, lest Carter changes his mind from displeasure.”

Madeline too wanted this to go smoothly, so she agreed.

Although Jeremy was worried about Madeline, he was an unreasonable person.

When Madeline went to the restaurant by herself, he followed her until the outside of the restaurant. However, before he could get close, he could see Carter’s bodyguards standing outside the restaurant.

Jeremy could only watch Madeline enter from afar. He saw Carter sitting alone at a spot with the best view in the restaurant. His impeccable attire bestowed upon him the image of an honorable gentleman and an elegant nobleman.

However, this gentle and lofty exterior belied his shrewdness, greatly contrasting with his appearance.

There was, however, a man standing next to Carter. This polite-looking man, wearing a pair of glasses and with a stack of documents in his hands, seemed like a lawyer.

With a glance, Jeremy could tell that Carter had booked the entire level of the restaurant.

If they were merely terminating the marriage contract, why was he making a big deal about it?

Jeremy kept feeling that something was amiss, but this is not the time to be rash.

From the moment she entered the restaurant, Madeline, however, also felt that something was wrong.

‘Carter specially booked the entire restaurant for this?’ It was obvious that this would not be as simple as terminating the wedding contract.

Madeline walked straight to where Carter was at, and she saw, on the table, the two documents they had signed in front of everyone back then.

At the time, Carter had lied to her, saying that this was just an engagement contract. She thought that she was helping him, so she believed him.

Despite feeling greatly repulsed by Carter, Madeline still maintained her demeanor. “Mr. Gray, thank you for letting me off the hook. I’m here now, so could we proceed with the legal procedure?”

Carter’s lips pressed into a smile when he heard that. “We’ll get to that, but first, have a seat.”

“Oh, I don’t think that’s necessary. My husband is waiting for me outside,” Madeline rejected blatantly.

Carter lifted his eyes lightly and glanced out of the restaurant, but his face was indifferent. Once again, he opened his mouth and gestured at Madeline.

“Sit.”

Madeline remembered what Camille had said, so she did not want to go against him.

After all, it all depended on Carter whether the procedure would be dealt with successfully.

She sat down. Then, the waitperson carried over one delicate dish after another. In the end, they even poured separate glasses of red wine for Madeline and Carter.

Carter leisurely took his glass and gently swirled the contents in the glass. “I’m still technically your savior. Since we’ll be parting ways and we won’t see each other ever again, we should just down this wine and part on good terms, is that okay?”

Madeline eyed the wine glass in front of her. She picked it up and sniffed it vigilantly. Once she had ascertained that it contained no foreign substance, she casually downed the wine.

“Will this do?”

Carter looked at the emptied wine glass and seemed to let out a knowing laugh. “That’ll do.”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1653

Madeline’s intuition told her that Carter’s smile held a deeper meaning to it, but she is unable to guess what is on Carter’s mind.

Madeline put down her goblet. For a few seconds, her gaze remained glued to the liquid at the bottom of her glass.

“Mr. Gray, could we begin the procedure now?” Madeline urged.

Carter nodded and gave a sideways glance at the man waiting by his side.

The man who looked like a lawyer handed Madeline two documents.

“Hello, Miss Montgomery. I’m Mr. Carter’s lawyer. These are the divorce documents for you and Mr. Carter. Please have a look at the contents, and if there are no problems, please sign the documents.”

Madeline took the document, and, this time, she carefully read through every line of words in detail.

Back then, she had fallen for Carter’s tricks only because she had too much trust in Carter. This time, she did not allow herself the chance to be negligent.

Once she had read every line carefully, Madeline signed her name next to Carter’s signature.

After that, Madeline felt relieved, a great weight lifted off her mind.

However, she still could not help feeling somewhat incredulous that she had muddleheadedly became husband and wife with another man in name.

“From now on, we’re no longer husband and wife in name, is that right, Mr. Gray?”

“Yes, after signing this, Miss Montgomery, the agreement already takes effect. You and Mr. Gray are no longer husband and wife in name.” The lawyer by the side explained clearly.

Relieved to have this heavy burden off her chest, Madeline looked toward Carter who was minding his own business and had begun dining. In the end, she thanked him sincerely, “Even though we’re in a bit of a rough patch, I still want to thank you for saving me at sea, Mr. Carter.”

Carter’s movements slowed slightly and, without looking at Madeline, he leisurely uttered two words, “You’re welcome.”

Madeline did not stay further. She decisively got up and left.

Carter did not stop her in the slightest, only speaking to the lawyer by his side, “Handle this as quickly as you can. I, Carter Gray, am a man of my word.”
