Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1731
Jeremy suddenly relented.

Madeline quickly turned, facing Jeremy’s firm expression, though she did not find this unexpected. He relented solely because of the concern he had for her.

The corner of Carter’s lips raised at these words. This was the answer he wanted.

“Carter, state your terms,” Jeremy requested, not showing much patience for Carter.

Carter did not beat around the bush. “Let Shirley go,” he said bluntly.

Madeline had thought that Carter’s demand would be something very difficult or unreasonable. However, she had not expected Carter’s only stipulation was Shirley’s release.

Jeremy too found this doubtful. If this was the only stipulation, why should he not oblige?

After all, his main purpose in kidnapping Shirley was to exchange her for the anti-toxoid test reagent.

“I can let her go, but I have to see the anti-toxoid test reagent first. She told me herself that there’s no completed product, so I’d like to verify that you’re telling the truth and that there’s truly an anti-toxoid test reagent,” Jeremy asked carefully, probing.

He could not afford any more mishaps. Madeline’s safety depended on this.

Understanding Jeremy’s concerns, Carter slowly turned and walked toward a mini-fridge. Once Carter had entered a passcode on the fridge, the door opened.

Madeline and Jeremy shared a look, then saw Carter retrieving a vial of transparent anti-toxoid test reagent from the fridge.

It looked the same as the anti-toxoid test reagent Shirley had given them back then.

“She’s not lying. There isn’t a complete product that can heal you completely. This one’s just a half completed. You can use it to alleviate your symptoms for the next flare-up.”

It was just a half-complete product.

Disappointment flashed across Jeremy’s eyes, but it was better than nothing.

He could not standby and watch Madeline flare up and suffer through those horrendous past experiences again, no matter the cost.

He reached out his hand to Carter. “Give it to me.”

Carter shook his head lightly. “I won’t give it to you until I see Shirley.”

“Carter, I’m a businessman, and trust is vital in businesses. Once I, Jeremy Whitman, have promised something, I’ll certainly fulfill it.”

“However, I’m not a businessman,” Carter said with a cold expression, then placed the anti-toxoid test reagent into his coat pocket. “Mr. Whitman, lead the way.”

Carter was asking Jeremy to take him to Shirley.

Jeremy, without hesitation, grabbed Madeline’s hand and turned. “Follow me.”

After saying two words to Carter, Jeremy turned and went back the way he came.

Jeremy and Madeline got into the same car while Carter followed them in his car.

Jeremy looked at the rearview mirror, glancing at the car that was tailing them closely as his expression became grimmer.

Madeline was silently in thought when she heard Jeremy suddenly speaking.

“You already knew what’ll happen. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Madeline quickly understood what he meant. She shifted her gaze from the snow drifting outside the window onto Jeremy, who wore a cold expression on his face.

“I’m not scared,” Madeline said softly, “there’s nothing I can’t handle.”

“Linnie, this isn’t about whether you can handle it or not, it’s…”

“I understand. I do understand.” Madeline earnestly looked at the agitated man and softened her tone. “Jeremy, I truly do understand.”

Jeremy gave Madeline a serious look, saying nothing in response.

The snow grew heavier over time, gradually piling on the ground.

Half an hour later, Jeremy’s car stopped at the villa’s gates once again.

When Madeline got out of the car, her eyes were immediately drawn to the two lines of tire tracks that were imprinted on the snow.

This villa was detached. Under normal circumstances, no one would be passing by this place, let alone leaving tire tracks at the gates, unless they came here deliberately.

“I see. You’ve locked her up here,” Carter said as he got out of the car. “Lead the way.” He seemed impatient, but his expression still looked perfectly calm.

Perhaps Jeremy was still worried about Madeline, for he did not notice the tire tracks on the snow.

He opened the gates and led the way with Madeline in tow.

“Jeremy, something’s off,” Madeline said, expressing her concern.

“Off? What do you mean?” Jeremy asked, confused. However, when he was at the entryway opening the door, he immediately felt an uneasiness hanging in the air.

Madeline too realized that something was wrong. She sniffed the air around her, then her expression suddenly changed.

“I think something has happened!” Madeline said with emphasis, immediately running upstairs.

Jeremy strode behind her.

Upon seeing this scene, Carter, who stood behind them, felt that something was amiss and quickly ran upstairs with them, toward the entrance to the guest room.

“Why are you two running so fast suddenly? What’s wrong?” Carter asked in displeasure, then his eyes fell upon the guest room door.

He saw that the door lock was broken and there were footprints on the door, suggesting someone had forcefully kicked it.

Carter’s expression immediately changed. “She’s here?”

Jeremy was silent while Madeline, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, said, “I smell blood.”

Madeline’s words put Jeremy and Carter on guard, their eyes simultaneously narrowed. Carter, however, was one step ahead of Jeremy as he violently pushed the door open.

The smell of blood intensified, and Madeline swiftly entered the guest room. She immediately saw a horrific puddle of blood, still fresh, that stained the snow-white rug. The room also showed signs of struggle.

However, Shirley was nowhere to be seen.

“Jeremy, where is she? Where’s Shirley?” Carter asked impatiently.

This was the first time Madeline saw such an extreme expression on this man’s usually emotionless face.

“Shirley was right here when I left. Carter, you can see that someone had clearly been here,” explained Madeline.

“Sorry, I don’t see it.” Carter’s face fell, looking at the blood on the rug, and he clenched his fingers one by one.

“This was your plan all along, isn’t it, Jeremy? You had intentionally put on such a good show! You said you want to make a deal with me, exchanging Shirley for the anti-toxoid test reagent, but the reality is that you didn’t even want this deal at all!”

Carter’s face was cold, his tone brimming with accusation.

“I would never pull this kind of trick. Someone had barged into this room and taken Shirley away. If you’re truly worried about her, I can help you in finding her current location.”

“There’s no need!” Carter rejected him coldly and suddenly took out the half-complete anti-toxoid test reagent from his pocket. “Since she’s nowhere to be found, this deal is off, Jeremy. Don’t even think about laying your hands on this anti-toxoid test reagent!”

As his voice fell, he suddenly lifted his hand and violently threw the anti-toxoid test reagent out of the balcony.

“Stop!”

Jeremy shouted, attempting to stop Carter, but Carter had made up his mind.

With all his might, Carter hurled the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent out of the balcony, ensuring that neither party won.

However, Jeremy was unwilling to stand by and watch Carter throwing out the anti-toxoid test reagent. At that moment, he launched himself toward the trajectory of the vial, leaping forward like a sword flying from its scabbard, his entire person seemed to soar with the vial.

Madeline’s heart suddenly leaped as this scene unfolded.

“No! Jeremy…”

Madeline cried out in alarm and ran over to Jeremy.

However, she could not catch up with Jeremy’s speed. She watched as Jeremy jumped down the balcony, trying to catch the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent.

“Jeremy!” Madeline ran hurriedly to the balcony and looked down. She then turned to head downstairs to find Jeremy.

However, when she ran past Carter, he suddenly reached out a hand, grabbing her arm.

“Let go!” Madeline struggled angrily.

Displeasure colored his face. “What did you guys do to her? Where did you hide her?”

Madeline looked Carter in the eyes, unflinching from his suspicious gaze.

“Listen, Carter. Shirley was here initially. Before I’d left, I’d let her bathe, eat, and sleep comfortably. Now that something bad has happened to her, it should be obvious that someone else is behind this. Why should I put up this act with you? Do you think I could’ve predicted that you’ll make this deal with my husband and come here?”

Carter’s brows furrowed at Madeline’s questions.

While he still gazed at Madeline with suspicion, his grip loosened noticeably.

Madeline used this chance to break away from Carter’s grip and quickly ran downstairs.

She rushed straight to the ground level beneath the guest room balcony where she found Jeremy squatting, and she darted toward him.

“Jeremy, how are you? Did you hurt your leg? You still have a scar from the time when you jumped out of a balcony in St. Piaf! How could you be so reckless and jump like that again?”

Madeline was speaking incoherently, torn between caring for Jeremy and scolding him.

She wanted to check whether Jeremy had injured himself, but when she reached out her hands, Jeremy grabbed them.
