Chapter 927 Get Even

Before Carla could open her mouth, Cindy's loud voice reverberated across the hall.

She was seething with anger and quickly stepped in front of Steven. "Who are you? Why do you want Steven to go down the mountain with you?"

"Who the hell are you? How dare you, an outsider, question me? I don't owe you a fucking explanation!"

Lucia said, venomously. She was not used to being questioned by people, let alone a stranger.

Her lips twitched with a playful smile when she turned to look at Steven. "Steven, Carla's man is here. Do you still think that you stand a chance?''

Lucia asked, arching an eyebrow.

Lucia was aware of the traditions of JA City. They only had one partner at a time, and having many was infidelity. It could potentially break powerful relationships. How could Terence and his family accept that he had to share his wife with another man?

Time seemed to stand still and everyone froze on the spot as Lucia's words hit them like a ton of bricks.

"Enough, Lucia!"

Carla finally bellowed. Lucia found new ways to ruin things for Carla and she couldn't stand her anymore.

"It's never enough. I won't stop until you give Steven to me. Until then, you have no choice but to put up with me."

Lucia's sharp eyes pierced Carla.

Lucia had never been this crazy before. She always had a weakness for men but Terence seemed to evoke something in her. He brought out the animalistic side, which she was not aware of. She had lost control of her mind and body ever since she laid her eyes on him.

Lucia's hatred for Carla hit another level. Why did she always have to get the best things in the world?

It was unfair and Lucia could never get over it. She at least had to have Steven.

"Lucia, I don't think you understand. Steven does not belong to Yu Sea City. Only he has the right to decide where he wants to be and who he wants to be with."

Carla laughed stonily. She still couldn't believe that Lucia would stoop so low and create a scene in front of Terence.

"It's up to me to decide. You're mine, Steven. You cannot go anywhere. I will come after you and bring you back with me."

Lucia growled and stormed off.

"Steven?"

Cindy grabbed Steven's hand and looked at him worriedly. The woman was psychotic and would go to any extent to have him.

"Don't worry. She's a bully who thinks that the world spins because of her. Just forget it." Steven sighed loudly and rubbed his forehead. He was tired of putting up with Lucia.

"Terence..."

Carla yelped as he grabbed her possessively and lifted her in his arms.

"Carol, show me the way," he growled and walked with heavy strides, without looking back.

Carla shuddered. Terence's angry face made her queasy. She wondered what

et grandfather later," she said in a voice thick with lust.

"Yes, I know..." Terence mumbled.

Outside the door

Steven's amber eyes were unusually calm when he heard their conversation.

He sighed in relief. He was afraid that Terence and Carla might end up quarreling with each other. It was comforting for him to see that they were back to normal.

As soon as Steven left, Rainer and Nathan returned to guard the door.

"I feel sorry for Steven, Nathan."

Rainer frowned sympathetically.

He was a wonderful guy who could have any woman he wanted. Of all the women in the world, he fell in love with Carla.

The heart always yearns for what it cannot have.

A frown lined on Nathan's forehead when he watched Steven leave. He crossed his arms across his chest. "I remember telling Mr. An that Steven was different from the rest.

He's a tough guy. He has gone through a lot in Yu Sea City,"

he said thoughtfully.

Nathan had witnessed every torture Steven had been through. Others would have drowned in shame if they were stripped naked but Steven was incredibly strong.

Steven was like an angel on earth, undeterred by the torture and humiliation.

He had not lost his cool despite all the suffering he had endured.

Nothing could potentially crush his self-esteem. But everything seemed to crumble when he saw Carla. He loved her with all his heart.

"Really? So you think that he's is a threat?"

Rainer was shocked. He had never seen Nathan praise anyone before.

The two of them had been with Terence for too long. They had seen all kinds of people and been in all kinds of situations. They had come a long way together.

"That's right. He is smart."

Nathan pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"He is gentle and kind. But if he puts his mind to something, nothing will stop him."
