"Mother, what's going on? Did Tristan do something?"
Carla asked, feeling quite curious as she glanced at Tristan. That being said, it looked like he couldn't wait for the elevator to come down, so much so that he actually took the stairs instead.
Tristan was just about the same age as Carla. Right now, he was twenty-seven years old. In Carla's mind, she was thinking that whatever it was that he did, it probably wouldn't be anything that bad.
"Carla, Tristan is the absolute worst! I can't believe it! That pea brain went ahead and slept with the wife of the leader of a gang. Now, the leader has found out about it and has been trying to hunt him down!"
"To make things worse, this gang is really powerful. Even our family wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He has been keeping our house under surveillance and has left no stone left unturned!"
Andrea furiously explained the situation.
Tristan was still quite immature for his age. But even so, he hadn't caused that much of a problem in the past. Right now, it was plain to see that he had gotten himself into something so troublesome.
Carla was left utterly dumbfounded. "Mother, how on earth did this happen? Has Noah already heard about this? What did he say?"
This was the very first time Carla had ever seen Andrea so infuriated.
It seemed that Tristan had really gotten himself caught up in deep trouble.
"Tristan messed up really bad this time. There was no way Noah wouldn't have found out about it. He actually visited the leader of the gang himself to apologize on Tristan's behalf. Unfortunately, the leader wasn't buying any of it. He simply said that the only way he'd let bygones be bygones is if he gets to cut off one of Tristan's arms!"
Andrea venting out all of her anger was such a rare sight to see. It seemed that the rage she had been trying to keep inside had finally exploded. "The leader has a powerful gang backing him up. Even Noah has no choice but to try to stay on his good side. Tristan was seriously in the wrong when he slept with his wife. How could anyone, let alone the leader himself, let something like that slip?"
"Callie, listen to me and listen closely. You have to promise me you're going to kick him out of your house. The gang he messed with is by no means an ordinary one. They possess very powerful weapons, and there's no doubt that they're dead set on making Tristan pay for what he's done. Don't you dare let him drag you into this!"
Upon hearing that, Carla came to the sudden realization that Tristan was only here to get away from the troubles he had made.
"Mother, I understand. Thank you for letting me know. Please don't worry. I'll take care of it myself,"
Carla said after taking in a deep breath.
As soon as she said goodbye to Andrea and wrapped up the call, she headed straight upstairs.
"Tristan, are you in there? Come out this instant! We need to talk!"
