Chapter 17 He Can’t Afford it
“Good for you to know.” Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed invisibly.
The fact that he was threatening her like this only made her resent it more. But if he didn’t threaten her, she wouldn’t go out of her way to escape him … He couldn’t afford to pay!
Tess Baker don’t look away from him, let the bitterness spread a little. Whether it was five years ago or five years later, the initiative was never in her hands!
Her resistance made Bowen Carter more upset than he had ever been before. He tightened his lips, then turned around and walked out the door.
She was instantly left alone in the office, and she looked around at this familiar and unfamiliar office. Before, she didn’t even have the right to be in here!
“Carter!”
Just then, accompanied by a delicate shout, Snowy Cole flew into the office in a goose yellow dress.
At the sight of Tess Baker, the smile on her face disappeared a little, “You, who are you?”
Isn’t Tess Baker dead? How come he is standing here now?
“If I remember correctly, Miss Cole is the same age as me, right? What, early onset Alzheimer’s?” Tess Baker hands on the table, the corners of the mouth slowly bloom gorgeous to the extreme smile.
The smile irritated Snowy Cole, she stomped up to her, raised her hand and hit her, “How dare you pester Carter, get out, get out now!”
If it wasn’t for this woman, Carter would have been with her!
The slap was so hard that Tess Baker felt a hot pain in her face and a faint taste of blood spread in her mouth.
Slap!
Tess Baker slowly stood up, without hesitation, backhandedly slapped Snowy Cole’s face with delicate makeup.
“You, how dare you hit me?” Snowy Cole covered her cheek, tears flowing down her face in pain, she could not believe this scene.
Tess Baker was furious and laughed, “You hit me, why shouldn’t I hit you? Oh, and by the way, I’m not the one pestering your Carter, your Carter is pestering me.”
From the time she married Bowen Carter, this Miss Cole has been on her case, both explicitly and implicitly.
She used to put up with it for fear Bowen Carter wouldn’t like it, but now … heh!
“I don’t believe it!” Snowy Cole’s hand was pointing to her nose, her head on fire, “Carter said that you climbed into her bed while he was drunk and that’s why he married you! You were the one who was stalking Carter!”
“What does it matter to me if you believe it or not?” Tess Baker smiled sweetly on her face, but her heart felt like a dagger had ripped a bloody gash in it.
Even if you have said a million times that you don’t care, when the scars of the past are opened, it still hurts so much that you can’t breathe.
Snowy Cole was about to say more, but was interrupted by a cold, beautiful voice – “What are you doing here?
“What brings you here?”
Bowen Carter walked in with a file.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
The sunlight poured over his body, giving a soft glow to his handsome face, softening his cold, hard face a bit.
Snowy Cole bit his lip, bean-sized tears fell down, “Carter, I came to the office to look for you. But I just came in and she hit me, my face hurts so much!”
She lifted her long hair and showed him the redness of her face.
Tess Baker had used a lot of force, and her face was so swollen that you could clearly see the fingerprints. The red, swollen palm marks contrasted with the pale skin and looked alarming.
Bowen Carter frowned invisibly, her perfume was too fragrant and choking, he walked directly to Tess Baker, “I told you a long time ago, she is just my sister, you do not need to fight for her jealousy.”
“Heh!” Tess Baker just sneered and didn’t explain.
Every time whatever happened, he would never ask what exactly was going on, and would blame it on her after hearing someone else’s tripe!
Jealousy? Who gave him the face?
