Chapter 1751
When Shirley heard the sound of footsteps, she knew Carter was here.
She knew she would not be able to hide at this moment, so she could only face him.
However, she still did not dare to show the ugly half of her face to the man she looked up to and admired. The moment Carter
appeared, she turned her body and hid her right cheek that was scarred so that Carter could not see. She only allowed him to
see her left cheek that still looked flawless, smooth, and charming.
As for her crippled legs, she could only continue sitting on the bed while pretending as if she was carefree.
Carter looked at Shirley who was sitting motionlessly on the bed and moved his long legs to take two steps closer to the bed.
He noticed the coldness on Shirley’s face.
“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Carter questioned right after he opened his mouth. His tone sounded extremely cold.
However, after he said that, his face gradually fell when he saw that Shirley was ignoring him.
“ Shirley,” he called out her name, his tone laced with anger that was on the verge of overflowing.
Cathy glanced at Shirley, and when she saw Carter trying to get close to Shirley, Cathy went up to stop him.
“Mr. Gray, Miss Brown doesn’t want to see you now. I hope you can respect her wishes.”
Carter was forced to stop in his tracks. His displeased gaze landed on Cathy’s face irreverently.
His eyes were suddenly filled with admiration.
“I never knew you were so courageous back when we were in St. Piaf Academy. However, you were in St. Piaf for so long, so
you should know me quite well. Are you sure you want to challenge my prestige?”
Carter’s words sounded like he was warning Cathy.
However, Cathy was not scared and she did not cower at all.
She looked into Carter’s icy and piercing gaze before saying calmly, “Mr. Gray, I hope you know that this is not St. Piaf but
Glendale. This is also not your house.”
“Heh. Interesting, ” Carter smiled and uttered unenthusiastically. However, his gaze changed and he looked like he was going to
take action.
Adam rushed to the door of the room with wounds on his face. When he saw something amiss with Carter’s expression, he
realized that Cathy must be in danger. He immediately rushed over to stop the man.
However, he heard Shirley saying something after only taking a few steps.
“Mr. Gray, please get out of my house.”
The coldness in Carter’s eyes and his action of lifting his hand froze the moment he heard what Shirley said.
‘Mr. Gray?’
He could not believe that he just heard Shirley calling him that.
However, that voice indeed belonged to Shirley.
Carter furrowed his long eyebrows and lifted his eyes that were as deep as the sea to look at Shirley who was leaning on the
bed. She only had the side of her face turned toward him.
”What did you just say?” Carter asked in disbelief.
Shirley remained seated. She said coldly,” I said, please get out of my house, Mr. Gray. Also, I hope that you won’t come over
ever again.”
