Chapter 27: The Wrong Man
Tess Baker looked at his red ears and turned back to ASSISTANT with a flat face, “Sorry, I wouldn’t either.”
“A woman’s strength is less than a man’s, and the bows wrapped are better looking than a man’s, Miss Baker is definitely better than what I wrapped.” The assistant sells the opportunity for the president of the family.
Tess Baker glanced at Bowen Carter, who was still looking at his hands, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, “Your president, who is such a macho man, must prefer a dead knot to a bow tie.”
assistant, “…”
President, I really can’t be blamed for this, I’ve done my best!
“Dinner!” Bowen Carter, with an iron face, took his chopsticks and began to eat. He hurt just his right hand, blood left along the chopsticks, and some dishes were stained with blood.
Tess Baker avoided the dishes with blood stains and ate with a light expression, just like no one else.
Snap!
Bowen Carter put his chopsticks on the bowl, gave her a look, and strode out of the box, he couldn’t stand the way she was treating him so coldly.
With him gone, Tess Baker felt relieved.
She picked the dishes that weren’t bloodied and ate some of them. She was seven or eight percent full before she put down her chopsticks and called the waiter to settle the bill.
“Miss Baker, Master Carter has already settled the bill.” The waiter had a standard smile on his face.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Tess Baker nodded and carried her bag downstairs. The place where she ate spicy crawfish yesterday was not far from here, so she walked over and prepared to take her car away.
Only–
The wrong side of the road!
“The slap that Tess Baker gave her is still swollen today!
Tess Baker ignored her, opened the car door and got in. She and Snowy Cole were old acquaintances, but not friends, but enemies!
“What are you running for? Are you weak?” Snowy Cole ran over and stopped her car with her arms wide open, not at all like the beautiful lady she usually is.
Tess Baker didn’t even get out of the car, just stepped on the gas and drove towards the front.
“Tess Baker, are you crazy?!” Snowy Cole screamed, hastily flashed aside, pupils reflecting the gradually distant car shadow, face is very ugly.
She slapped her and tried to run her over with her car?
She would never let that little bitch Tess Baker go!
The passersby didn’t know what happened, they only saw an Audi suddenly rushing towards a beautiful woman, startled, and someone else called the police.
“What’s going on?” Frank Duke walked over carrying a few bags of stuff, his rippling peach blossom eyes full of worry.
When he asked, Snowy Cole’s aggravation came out at once, “I just saw Tess Baker and tried to talk sense into her. She is unreasonable even if, but actually hit me with her car!”
In fact, Tess Baker’s car is not fast at all, she can completely dodge, but she just feel uncomfortable in her heart.
What is Tess Baker, who dares to be so arrogant in front of her?
Frank Duke threw down the things in his hands with a bang and rushed forward to look her up and down, his evil handsome face was bloodless, “Did you get hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No, I didn’t touch it just now!” Snowy Cole pushed him away, did not like to get too close to him, “but if I had not just run fast, she would have hit me! Up!”
Frank Duke listened to the familiar name of ‘Tess Baker’, red lips hooked up a little, the corner of the eye tear mole in the sunlight emitted a morbid light.
Tess Baker, very good, he remembered her!
…
Tess Baker drove just up the road, several police cars came after her.
She didn’t run either, volunteered to stop the car and followed a couple of police officers towards the police station.
“We received a report from the public that you intentionally hit someone with your car, do you admit to this matter?” The policeman sat across from her with a serious face.
This woman is so beautiful, how can she do that kind of heartless thing?
Tess Baker shook her head and lifted the wavy hair behind her ear, “You said I intentionally hit someone with my car, where is the person?”
She was driving so slowly that Snowy Cole was definitely able to dodge. She did so, but only because she did not want to dwell too much with Snowy Cole.
“…” the police officer interrogating her was momentarily dumbfounded, “You were attempting to hit someone with your car!”
Tess Baker put her hands on the table without arrogance, “Mr. Officer, I was saying goodbye to a friend at the time, I just don’t know what made people misunderstand.”
“But the people who called the police made it very clear that you were the one who drove the car into the accident.” The police officer said.
Tess Baker curled her lips, “And did you receive a call from the person in question? If she wasn’t hit, why didn’t she call the police? Because she’s my friend.”
Hearing this, the police officer was half-hearted.
Tess Baker also did not mean to make things difficult for the police, she took out a business card and put it on the table, “This is my contact information, if there are any more questions, you can always contact me.”
The police tried the contact information on the spot and let her go after making sure it was her cell phone number.
Had she known things would be so troublesome, Tess Baker would never have done it.
She looked at the time, it was already 1:45, and it looked like she was going to be late again this afternoon!
She sighed and was about to go out when she heard two familiar voices –
“Staphen, tell me what’s wrong with you? You are only twelve years old, how can you take 500, 000 to reward female hosts?”
“Mom, are you done? It’s only half a million. It’s a shame to make people return it!”
Tess Baker’s body stiffened and she immediately turned around, turning her back on the two people who were about to enter the door.
She didn’t expect to meet her mother and brother here.
But … brother took half a million dollars to reward female hosts?
Mom and dad’s monthly salary is only five thousand dollars, where did they get the five hundred thousand from?
“Yes, but just half a million dollars is nothing to the Mark Family! If that Linda Mark girl hadn’t ruined our lives, Chairman Lin would have paid more than half a million!”
“We’ll just borrow it in a couple of days! Mom, will you stop talking about it? It’s so annoying!!!”
The voices of the two men faded away.
Tess Baker looked at their backs, her lips were bitten, but she didn’t notice.
Five years ago, they didn’t even attend her funeral, saying they didn’t have the fare.
They didn’t have a few dozen dollars for a cab fare, yet they rewarded the anchorwoman with half a million … Heh, this is her family!
Tess Baker stared wide-eyed and forced back the tears that were about to flow. She took a deep breath, went out of the police station and drove back to the office.
The front desk girl saw her face was blue and didn’t even dare to say hello, trying to make herself act as a little transparent.
When he entered the office, Tess Baker sat on a chair, looking up at the ceiling, his mind was a mess.
She was in a really bad mood and couldn’t get anything done, so she spent the afternoon like this.
Ring!
The intercom rang.
Tess Baker rubbed her sore brow and picked up the phone, “What’s up?”
“Boss Baker, your boyfriend has arrived a while ago, you are still not off work?” The front desk girl’s voice is full of gossip.
Tess Baker wrinkled his eyebrows, “boyfriend?”
“Yes! He’s driving a Bentley!” Unfortunately, the owner didn’t get out of the car, so I couldn’t see what he looked like!
Tess Baker hung up the phone and walked to the window.
Downstairs, the Bentley had smooth domineering lines and exuded a strong kingly aura, exactly the same virtue as its owner.
