Amanda's eyes were burning with determination. She would rarely fail to get what she wanted ever since she was a child. This would never be the exception.
She was obviously much younger and more beautiful than Carla.
If only she would be given a chance.
People said that Carla saved Terence's life and even went to NF just to rescue him at the risk of her own life. That was probably why Carla had such an unshakable position in Terence's heart.
However, she believed that as long as she was waiting patiently, there would be a chance for her in the future.
When Terence came out of the South Yard, he didn't head to the office immediately. Instead, he asked Rainer to drive him straight to the Seaview Villa.
"Is there any updates from our informant in the Hua Group?"
As soon as Terence got into the car, he immediately asked Rainer and Nathan who were sitting at the front of the car.
"Noah is still the one who is in charge of the company. There's not much difference from the last time. However..."
said Rainer hesitantly.
"What is it?" urged Terence while checking the time.
"When Allen died, something happened. However, our man doesn't know what it was because he was not there when it all happened."
Rainer hesitated for a moment before he continued, "It's said that Miss Carla was also there. Maybe you can ask her what it was?"
Terence rubbed his chin then looked outside, pondering.
"Did our informant notice something? When Carla went out, what did she look like? And what about Noah? Is there any other news?" asked Terence.
It was the Hua Family's business so he couldn't possibly just ask Carla about it.
"He said that Miss Carla seemed really down when she went out that day. Noah was just like his normal self. Mr. Terence, do you also think that there is something strange going on?" replied Rainer.
"I agree with you, Rainer. Noah seemed to be too calm under that circumstance. It just seemed weird. He should at least be sad about it all,"
Nathan added while backing up Rainer.
Terence who was sitting at the back furrowed his eyebrows. He was deeply lost in his own thoughts. Then he said, "Nathan, we are close to Albert, right? Send someone reliable to visit him to get some information."
"Yes, Mr. Terence. We will do so immediately." Nathan nodded.
"As soon as possible please," added Terence while leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed.
The quieter Noah seemed, the more anxious he really was. Noah wouldn't do something he was not sure of in the first place.
When he got back in the villa, he saw that Carla was exercising her injured leg by walking against the wall while holding the handrails.
She was not working out too much. She was just stretching her leg in case the muscle in her left leg stiffened because she didn't move it often.
While she was focusing on her exercise, Terence suddenly embraced her waist from the back.
"Why are you tiring yourself out? I got these handrails fixed just in case. It's not even a month. You shouldn't be walking right now."
Terence then lifted her off the ground and took her into the elevator.
When he saw that Terence's hands were occupied, the servant that was standing nearby rushed to help press the elevator button for him.
Terence took Carla to the third floor where the sunlight was at its best. The floor-to-ceiling glass window gave them a full view of the magnificent sea. The whole room was filled with the warm sunlight.
"Why are you back so soon? Are you finished with work?"
"There's always work one after another. However, nothing matters to me more than you."
Terence held her tightly and sat on the sofa that was facing the window. He placed Carla on his lap and embraced her again while enjoying the sunlight. "I missed you so much. That was why I came back earlier just to see you."
"You just left a moment ago. How could you possibly miss me that fast? Do you really mean it?" Carla jokingly teased him while placing her hand on her forehead to look outside the window and face the sunlight.
