Carla panicked when she saw that her way was blocked by the car. She couldn't think clearly so she forgot to step on the brake until there were only a few inches between her car and the car before her. However, they still crashed.
Fortunately, she was driving very slowly, therefore the impact of the crash was not strong enough to cause any injuries. It was just a slight rear-end collision.
When Carla was ready to get off, the driver of the Porsche that she just hit got out of the car.
It was Terence who had been following her from the villa. He approached her car and knocked on the window. "Carla, get off the car!"
Carla started to become furious again at the sight of him. Then, she started the car engine and reversed. Since his cars were all in good quality, a few damages wouldn't cause big problems.
She reversed until there was enough space for her to bypass Terence's Porsche.
However, she stopped the car immediately
because Terence stood in front of the way.
Carla had no choice but to open the door and get off. "Terence, what are you doing?" she snapped.
Once Terence saw her get off, he strode to her as he addressed Sean, "Sean, keep your eyes closed until I say that you can open them!"
While Carla was still confused at his strange command, Terence hugged her tightly. Then, he leaned over to kiss her.
But before he could touch her lips, Carla gave him a hard slap.
"Don't touch me! Terence, from now on, I won't allow you to lay a finger on me!"
Carla's slap made Terence dumbfounded. Nathan's and Rainer's mouth dropped to the floor as well.
They saw exactly how Terence was slapped.
"You two, just leave. Take Sean back home with you!"
Terence ordered. When he turned to them, they saw the mark that Carla's palm left on Terence's cheek. Even the night couldn't conceal the redness of his cheek.
They answered yes immediately and drove away, leaving only Terence's Porsche.
They couldn't help but feel pity for Terence. He would definitely be having a hard time tonight.
"Who are you expecting to touch you except me?" Terence grabbed her arms and asked. A frown started to form on his face.
Since her arms were controlled, Carla decided to use her legs to fight back. She must give him a lesson after all!
However, when Carla lifted her legs to kick his crotch, Terence dodged quickly and in return pressed her arms to the Porsche.
"Carla, hear me out! I can explain! I know you must be very angry since you took such a long journey from BH City but you couldn't find me. But before you make any decisions, can you give me a chance to defend myself?"
Terence tried to reason with her as he pressed both her arms and legs with his own. Finally, she couldn't struggle out of his hold.
"Explain? Dating a beautiful girl late at night? Comforting her and giving her your handkerchief? What were the two of you going to do next if I weren't there? What excuses do you have for these facts?" Carla continued to struggle from his hold but she failed. She could only glare at him.
Terence smiled bitterly and leaned down to look at her. "Carla, I'm sorry! It's my fault! I promise I won't spend time with any other girl at night."
Carla turned away to avoid eye contact with him. She was afraid that she might soften in front of his sincere eyes.
"I don't need your apology, and I don't want to hear your explanation!"
Carla insisted.
"Carla—" Terence called in a loving voice. He then continued, "I promise, I didn't do anything with her. We just talked!"
