Only a handful of people knew that Bonnie was adopted, one of them being Terence. It was extremely difficult to keep anything from him. He had always been exceptional at finding things out.
Carla glanced at Terence and said, "Not even the daughter of the Hua family deserves to be your wife. I don't think any woman deserves that. Terence, please let me go!" He was squeezing all the air out of Carla, making her feel like a deflated balloon.
Terence disenthralled his grip and playfully dragged her to the bed. He pulled Clara onto his lap and pinched her cute chubby cheeks.
Lovingly he turned his head to her and said, "My sweetheart, you are overanalyzing everything again. I was like that before I met you, but I have changed. I have goals now and I have a future with you to look forward to."
Carla brushed off his hand and let out a sneer. "Terence you are such a flirt and have a talent for hitting on girls. My! You are quite the package. I don't want to burst your bubble, but you are getting married soon and should be saving these words for your lovely fiancee. At the moment, your future is with her.
When you get tired of me, will you have more mistresses lined up in your room awaiting your sweet words?"
Terence frowned slightly and let out a sarcastic laugh. "You can't help but belittle me, can you?
That's fine. I'll take it. I deserve it for what I have done to you."
Terence wrapped his arms around her waist and laid her on the bed. He caressed her long soft hair and asked, "Carla, I see you have gotten pretty close to the master of the Hua family lately? Has he hurt you in any way?"
Carla became furious and pushed him away. She had no idea why he had asked that question.
She lifted her eyebrows indignantly and asked, "Terence, have you been following me?"
Flabbergasted by what he said, she began to wonder who Terence was talking about. Carla couldn't recall talking to a man with Hua as his surname recently.
"Did you say Hua? Who do you mean? Are you talking about Mr. Noah?"
He was the only man she came across lately.
Terence's eyes grew dull upon hearing her words. "He didn't tell you his last name? Yes, his name is Noah Hua. He's the son of the Hua family and the brother of my fiancee, Bonnie."
Carla couldn't believe what she was hearing. It took her a while to process it.
"Maybe it was just a coincidence. It could have been that he had errands to run and we just happened to be in the same place at the same time," Carla murmured.
Terence pinched the little fat roll on her waist and said, "Are you trying to cover up for him or defend him? You are so gullible. Noah has no soul. He has done some very bad things to people. He is a cruel man and has no remorse for anyone. Several years ago, a young man worked for him. This man betrayed him and disclosed a confidential business secret to someone, making him lose a large sum of money. Two years later, that man was found dead on a mountain. Four of his limbs were detached from his body and they are still missing to this day.
Noah has a very dark and powerful background, so nobody can do anything to him."
