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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1671

Jeremy and Madeline shared a look before he got up and walked to the entrance.

He cautiously peered into the peephole, but he did not see anyone standing there. Then, the doorbell started ringing again.

Jeremy opened the door decisively, scaring the person outside, who was about to continue ringing the doorbell, into retracting their hand in fear.

“You again.” When Jeremy saw the woman standing near the wall by the door, his eyes were filled with disdain. “It’s best if you stay away. My wife and I don’t want to see you.”

Of course, Ada knew Jeremy hated her, but this time, she was ready to go all out.

Camille already hated her anyway, so if she wanted to fight for the chance to get into the Gray family, she could only scheme her way through.

Seeing that Jeremy was about to close the door, she quickly reached out her arm to stop him.

Who knew Jeremy would be this callous? Without the slightest concern about her hand, he continued pushing the door close.

Ada’s arm was crushed by the door. “Ah!” She let out a wail.

When Ada saw that the door was closing, she quickly blurted out, “I know Shirley Brown’s weakness!”

Despite some distance laid between them, Madeline could almost hear Ada’s roar even inside the room.

‘Shirley’s weakness?’

Jeremy’s eyes narrowed slightly. Doubtful, he asked, “You know Shirley Brown?”

A pleased expression immediately emerged on Ada’s face. “Of course, I know her. You could say that I know her very well because I used to live with her, and it wasn’t merely for a year or two.”

Judging from confidence written all over Ada’s face, Jeremy was certain that Ada truly knew Shirley.

‘Shirley was from Glendale and Ada was from St. Piaf. How would they have known each other?’

Ada saw the curiosity in Jeremy’s eyes, and she grew more confident. “You must want to know more about Shirley, yes? May I come in? After all, it’s not convenient to talk here.”

Jeremy could not stand seeing Ada’s villainous glee. Ashe was about to object, he heard Madeline’s approval from behind him.

“Let her in.”

He turned around and saw Madeline standing a short distance from him.

“Linnie, why did you get up? Sit down and rest, quickly!”

Jeremy strode next to Madeline and held her shoulder, bringing her back to the bedroom.

At this moment, he heard the door closing. He lifted his eyes and saw Ada walking in, minding her own business.

Ada peered at the weak-looking Madeline and rolled her eyes in contempt. Then, she sat on the sofa and spoke in a muffled voice.

“I don’t really want to see you at all. I wouldn’t have come here if it wasn’t for the sake of my future.”

“If you didn’t want to come, then get out now! No one begged you to come in!” Jeremy mercilessly chastised her as he walked over to her.

Ada’s initial smug instantly froze. She even felt a little fearful.

How could she have forgotten Jeremy’s concern for Madeline?

She would be digging her own grave if she targeted Madeline in front of him.

Ada pressed her lips together, not daring to speak another word against Madeline.

However, Madeline, unbothered by Ada’s words, walked straight over. Bluntly, she asked, “How did you know Shirley? What’s the point in coming over to find us?”

“I came here to make a deal. As for how I know Shirley…”

Ada kept Jeremy and Madeline on tenterhooks, the corner of her lips curled.

“Before learning how I met Shirley, I think you should know something else first.”

Jeremy’s eyes filled with disgust seeing Ada making a show out of this.

“I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense. Just tell us if you want to. If you waste any more time, you should just get out immediately.”

“…”

After suffering two consecutive defeats, Ada no longer dared to put on a mysterious act.

However, she hesitated for a moment before speaking, as if considering something.

“Carter gave Shirley her name.”

‘Carter and Shirley knew each other?’

The revelation about that relationship caught Madeline and Jeremy by surprise.

Jeremy finally understood. The person who had been manipulating Shirley was Carter.

“When Carter was ten years old, he brought Shirley back to the Gray Manor. Ever since then, they had been living together, spending time with each other, day and night. Although I could be considered as Carter’s childhood sweetheart, honestly, compared to Shirley, I’m still a bit far off.”

Ada was visibly unhappy and discontent as she said these last words.

The man she liked since childhood had never cared about her.

“I don’t know where Shirley came from. I just know that had stayed by Carter’s side for over ten years. In fact, for a long time, I could tell that Shirley liked Carter, but Carter doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. She was just a homeless child abandoned by her parents, yet she hoped to become a viscountess? She’s obviously dreaming!”

Ada gritted her teeth. Jealousy was an ugly look on her.

She snorted. “She’s pretty tactful though. She had left the Grays on her own accord a few years ago. From that time on, the Grays never mentioned her again. She had never resurfaced, as if she was dead, yet now she’s suddenly returned! I saw it all!”

Ada recalled the scene she had witnessed not long ago at the Gray Manor’s entrance as well as the scene at the convenience store entrance, where Madeline and Shirley had confronted each other.

“I didn’t expect her to turn out like this after leaving for a few years. She seems more charming and coquettish than before. Tch, did she think that she could come back and fight me for the position of the viscountess just because she got prettier?”

Ada’s fists were tightly clenched. A while later, she relaxed. “Okay, I’ve told you everything I know. Now, it’s your turn to help me.”

Jeremy coldly glanced at Ada. “The things you’ve said don’t seem useful to us in any way.”

“…” Taken aback, Ada suddenly felt anxious. “What do you mean it’s useless? If it wasn’t for me, would you have known the relationship between Shirley and Carter? Mr. Whitman, you’re a businessman, and all businesses run on trust.”

“Trust? You dare talk about trust with me?” Jeremy chuckled, immediately lifting his fierce narrow eyes. “That day, in this exact spot, you had told me that you had wanted to make a deal with me as well. What happened then? You were just colluding with Carter, leading me into the trap. Do you think I’d still trust your words?”

“…” Ada grew more anxious hearing that. “I was forced to do that!”

“Forced? Then, did Carter force you to call the police at the wedding?”

“…” Ada’s mouth dangled open; her face suddenly turned crimson. She did not know how to explain herself.

“Get out. Now.” Jeremy kicked her out. “If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone kick you out.”

“…”

Ada would never have compromised, but she did not expect Jeremy to call the hotel security to kick her out.

“Jeremy, how could you do this? I’m here to make a deal with you! How could you not keep your word?” Ada yelled and shrieked again in disbelief.

Jeremy, too tired to deal with her, closed the door immediately. After a while, Ada’s voice gradually disappeared.

Jeremy’s lower lip pulled down as he contemplated the information that Ada had just unveiled. As he turned and lifted his head, he saw the petite woman standing a short distance in front of him, gazing at him with a weird look.

Jeremy could not help but briefly froze. Then, he walked toward Madeline.

“Linnie, why are you looking at me like that?” Her gaze seemed to be questioning him.

Madeline, betraying no emotion, gave a measured look at Jeremy, and suddenly smiled. “I didn’t expect my husband to act this shamelessly.”

Jeremy had thought that Madeline was questioning his earlier actions. Upon hearing this, he smiled in turn.

“Trust is off the table when dealing with the likes of her, but the information she provided is indeed useful.”

Madeline smiled and nodded in agreement, then quickly reverted to her serious look.

“Shirley and Carter knew each other, and they have an intimate relationship. That means that Shirley was just following Carter’s orders when she acted against me. Shirley used this kind of thing to keep me in check, but at the end of the day, it was all to get at you, Jeremy. I really don’t understand what they’re up to.”

Madeline’s troubled look calmed Jeremy down instead. “Maybe we’ll find the answer to this question when we return to Glendale.”

Since Shirley had made this request, he was certain that he would only get the answer after returning to Glendale.

The next day, Jeremy and Madeline finally boarded the plane back to Glendale without a hitch.

They did not return to the old manor until the evening.
