Chapter 148 He Was Her Humble Servant

Terence frowned and put on a comforting smile. He held her hands firmly and added, "I'm willing to do anything for you, but on one condition, you have to promise me that you will never leave me."

"Okay. Are you sure there's nothing else?" Carla asked impatiently.

"No," Terence shook his head with certainty.

"You have my word then," Carla's beautiful eyes twinkled as she reassured him. "As you've said, everything that happened yesterday was merely a nightmare. I'll forget it. We won't talk about it any more."

Taken aback by her words, he paused for a moment.

Terence raised his brows into a furrow as he inquired, "Everything?"

"Of course. Don't worry about me. I have nerves of steel. Moreover, I'm fine now, and I'll be careful in the future," Carla shrugged casually. She touched her empty belly as she started to feel hungry.

As his girlfriend, she had prepared herself for whatever consequences that would befall in the future. As long as Sean was safe, she wouldn't mind at all.

Terence gazed at her cautiously. He picked up the phone and ordered the servants to bring in the food.

Carla's stomach was letting out a weird noise. She was so hungry that she felt as if she could eat a horse right then. She grabbed the bowl and gulped it down instantly. She belched with a contented smile on her face and took a sip of the orange juice.

"I'll go for a nap in my room."

Having eaten her fill, Carla stretched herself and trotted to her own room.

Terence blinked and raised his eyebrow. Something didn't feel right.

He snapped his fingers at the servants gesturing at them to clear up the table. He then followed her spontaneously.

"Carla?" "Carla!"

Carla had just gotten back to her room. Hearing his voice, she opened the door and peeped out at him.

"Yes?"

Terence squinted his eyes and smiled at Carla, who was as vigilant as before, "Carla, open the door and let me in."

Now that she had given herself totally, and his happy days had finally come, how could she pretend as if nothing had happened earlier?

No man liked to let go of that good feeling once he had tasted it.

She couldn't forget it. She just couldn't. He wouldn't allow that.

"So? What do you want?" Carla stared at him, confused and nervous. She left the door ajar and stepped aside—since she wouldn't be able to stop him if he insisted on coming in.

Terence walked into the room and shut the door. He strode forward and wrapped his arm

In anyone else's eyes, Terence was the noble, handsome and well-bred young master of the An Family. As long as—

As long as— Miss Carla was not by his side.

"Mr. Terence, the head of the gang was caught and we confiscated his cell phone. There were two people in his contact list." Rainer showed him the data stored in the laptop.

"One of them disguised her voice whenever she contacted him."

Rainer played the audio and said, "We restored the voice and narrowed down the line of potential suspects. And after using the positioning system, we are sure that it was Miss Bonnie.

But Miss Bonnie's plan was to ruin Miss Carla's integrity but not to kill her. Maybe Miss Bonnie's intention was to disgrace Miss Carla, so that Miss Carla would be so ashamed and disgusted on herself that she would choose to leave you voluntarily,"

summarized Rainer.

Terence smiled drily and leaned back in his chair. He skimmed through the information and grasped the gist of it, "And who's the other person in his contact list?"

Nathan explained, "Mr. Terence, this man is deeply hidden. We tracked down on every clue we had and found an ordinary man. He was only working for someone else who he didn't know."

Terence glanced at him, apparently unsatisfied with his answer.

Even if there was no clear evidence, he wanted them to render him a possible suspect.

Nathan lowered his head and added, "But I think he may well be a member of the Hua family, since Noah had also attacked Miss Carla in BH city.

We were thinking, Mr. Terence, maybe we could no longer keep Miss Carla's real identity a secret, since it has been known by many."
