Chapter 458 – You’re Not Worthy to Mention Her Name
Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed, “I do what I say I’m going to do.”
“Heh!” Tess Baker gave a meaningless laugh and did not reply.
red light, Bowen Carter slammed on the brakes and said seriously, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll have ASSISTANT send the contract to THE Mark Group right now.”
“When you’re upset, use The Carter Group to suppress THE Mark Group, when you’re happy, use The Carter Group to boost THE Mark Group. Bowen Carter, do you do everything depending on your mood?” Tess Baker laughed mockingly, “The Carter Group is lucky it hasn’t collapsed by now!”
The little guy scrunched his neck, trying to minimize his presence.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Bowen Carter tightened his thin lips and gripped the steering wheel so hard that his bones turned white.
“Bowen Carter, did I mention that all you do is threaten people with bankruptcy, it’s low?” said Tess Baker with disdain in her eyes, “Nope, you don’t just threaten people with bankruptcy, you lure them with good programs.”
Her sneering gaze fell on him, “Wouldn’t you be able to do anything without The Carter Group?”
“There are some things Scum Daddy can do alone.” The little guy cringed, “For example, he’s so good at hacking that he can break through your company’s firewall to steal data and threaten you with it …”
Under Tess Baker’s cool gaze, his voice grew fainter and fainter, and finally went completely silent.
But he’s not wrong, Scum Daddy’s character is debatable, but his personal abilities are still outstanding.
Even if there was no The Carter Group, Scum Daddy could have threatened her with Mommy’s company data, his and his sister’s custody and visitation rights, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Linda, their personal safety, or some other things and people Mommy cared about.
It’s just that those tactics are too troublesome, and not at all as simple and convenient as suppressing someone’s bankruptcy, and in his place, he would have made the same choice as Scum Daddy!
“It doesn’t matter who I threaten or who I bait, I just want to keep you with me.” Bowen Carter looked at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze determined, “I apologize if what I did upset you, but I won’t regret doing it.”
Even if she hated him, he wouldn’t let go of her!
Tess Baker sneered and looked out the car window.
To the right of the car was a white Ferrari, and the woman in the passenger seat moved over to kiss the man in the driver’s seat, but the man didn’t wait for her to get close enough to push her away.
Tess Baker felt that the two men looked somewhat familiar and looked at them a few more times, and when she got a good look at the people inside, her face instantly hardened to the extreme.
She sat up straight and was about to get out of the car when the green light came on and Bowen Carter started the car.
“Turn right!” Tess Baker clenched her fists, each word squeezed from her throat.
Bowen Carter didn’t ask why, he just turned right as she said and followed the white Ferrari.
The man in the car seemed to have noticed them and pulled onto the sidewalk and stopped. Cliff Ford got out of the car and walked over to Bowen Carter’s car and knocked on the window, “Carter, I just happen to have something I want to … see.”
He overheard Tess Baker sitting in the back row and his eyes lit up as he asked, slightly sharply, “Sister-in-law, do you know what Linda’s new cell phone number is?”
Tess Baker got out of the car without making a sound with a cold face.
Bowen Carter frowned and followed her out of the car, putting her hat on. She was a mother of two, why didn’t she know anything about taking care of her health?
Snap!
Tess Baker walks up to Cliff Ford and without saying a word, goes up and slaps him, the loud slap causing several passersby to look sideways.
“You’re an asshole!” Tess Baker stared at him dead in the face, her body shaking.
Cliff Ford didn’t have time to look at the injury on his face and eagerly grabbed her hand and asked, “Sister-in-law, when I beg you, give me Linda’s new cell phone number!”
“Dream on!” Tess Baker shook his hand off violently, the hatred in her eyes like substance.
Some lively passersby had already gathered around, pointing at a few people and whispering something, while others were taking pictures and videos with their cell phones.
“Eh, why are you hitting people for no reason?” Lily Yang, who still had a bandage on her head, got down from the Ferrari and first shouted at Tess Baker, then went to touch Cliff Ford’s face heartily, “She hit you, why don’t you know to dodge out of the way? How was it, did it hurt?”
“None of your business!” Cliff Ford pushed Lily Yang away in disgust.
Lily Yang’s eyes instantly reddened, “We’re getting married soon, I’m your fiancée, your affairs are my affairs!”
“I’m not marrying you, so just die!” Cliff Ford said with determination as he scratched his hair in annoyance.
Lily Yang’s tears barfed down her face and she spoke in a sobbing voice, “What about that night? If you don’t marry me, what is that night?”
The crowd of onlookers is talking–
“So it’s a scumbag, sleeping with someone else’s girl and not intending to take responsibility!”
“This woman seems to be in good condition, why does she have to be with a scummy guy who doesn’t like her?”
“He’s quite handsome, but his character is really bad.”
“If he can drive a Ferrari, he should be a rich kid. How many good ones are there in the rich kids?”
“What are you looking at? If you don’t know, don’t say shit!” Cliff Ford yelled at the crowd before looking at Lily Yang, “You know what happened that night, and I’m not marrying you!”
Lily Yang bit her lip and didn’t make a sound, just tears baring down her face.
People always sympathize with the underdog, and for a while there were more people who felt sorry for Lily Yang and blamed Cliff Ford.
“So it’s not just getting hard at Linda, cured?” Tess Baker had a sneer on her face.
Lily Yang wiped her tears and said red-eyed, “Cliff Ford divorced Linda Mark a long time ago, and he’s with me, and Linda Mark, the ex-wife, shouldn’t say anything, right?”
“Heh!” Tess Baker sneered and without warning kicked Lily Yang in the face.
Lily Yang stumbled when she was kicked and fell straight to the ground, blood immediately rubbing from her hand.
Cliff Ford hesitated, finally looking away from her pleading gaze.
A bunch of self-proclaimed righteous people judging–
“How does this guy hit people?”
“First she hits that guy, then she hits this girl, she’s sick!”
“How can she hit someone when they’re still an injured person with a bandage on their head? What can’t be said properly?”
Bowen Carter hadn’t said a word, when he heard the crowd murmur, he frowned and swept his cold eyes over the crowd in warning.
No one wanted to mess with anyone by looking at them, and the hot pan-like crowd quieted down to a very small murmur.
The little guy scrunched up his little face, can’t these people say less when they don’t know the facts?
“This kick, you owe it to my godson.” Tess Baker looked down at Lily Yang, a coldness in the bottom of her eyes, “We’re not done with the matter of you causing Linda’s miscarriage.”
“I didn’t do it on purpose, and I’ve apologized to her, what more do you want?” Lily Yang’s face was pale and she looked extraordinarily pitiful.
