Chapter 942 Friends Turn Into Foes

In the Seaview Villa

Carla was still scared and couldn't shake off from her mind what just happened on the road earlier.

Although Terence had informed her that it was a minor accident because the driver was knackered, Carla still couldn't feel better about it. She would distracted and stare into nothing, thinking about what could have happened to them.

"Mrs. An, Sean had called yesterday. He said that you and Mr. An have not responded to his call and was worried about you. Would you like to call him back?"

Sophie asked politely. Sean had called their residence as neither of them had answered on their mobile phones. Terence and Carla had never ignored his calls before and he panicked when he did not hear from them.

"Thanks Sophie. He would be in the middle of his training now. I will talk to him in the evening." Carla glanced at the clock and nodded. Evening would be the perfect time to call Sean. Even Sally would get to talk to her uncle.

Before Carla went up the stairs, she turned around and said, "Sophie, prepare some more for lunch. Mom will be joining us too."

"OK, Mrs. An."

Sophie nodded and turned around towards the kitchen.

About an hour later, there was a commotion downstairs. Carla smiled and quickly climbed down the stairs, thinking it was her mother.

"Mom..."

Carla's smile was wiped off from her face when she saw who it was. A frown lined on her forehead.

"Cindy, what brings you here? You could have called me first."

Cindy didn't look well. Her eyes were puffy, covered with dark circles. It was obvious that she had not slept well.

"Mrs. An, I need to talk with you,"

Cindy said coldly. She was not her usual, friendly self and Carla wondered what had caused the sudden change in her behavior.

"Yeah, sure. Let's go upstairs and have a chat."

Carla turned to leave.

"Mrs. An, can we talk in a cafe instead?"

Cindy said and turned to leave without waiting for Carla's answer.

Carla closed her eyes and sighed. She knew that Cindy was upset because of Steven.

Carol drove Cindy and Carla to the cafe that Cindy had picked.

The coffee shop was quiet with only a few people, which made it a perfect place to have a nice conversation.

"What is this all about? Are you OK?"

Carla asked. Her brain was whirling with all probabilities. Everything seemed unusual and she couldn't help but wonder why Cindy wanted to have this discussion outside her house.

Cindy finally turned to look at Carla. Her gaze was intense and jaw tightened. "Will you do something for me?"

"What is it? You're scaring me."

Carla swallowed loudly and knitted her brows in confusion.

Cindy clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles had turned white and her nails dug into her palm, formi

.

"Cindy, have you forgotten everything? It is you who cried to me, and begged me to go to Yu Sea City to save Steven.

I would not have gone there if you had not pleaded for me to rescue him. It was your idea. You brought me closer to him. It is your fault that his feelings for me has intensified.

Now you blame me? Don't you think it's unfair to blame me for everything?"

Carla was hurt by Cindy's harsh words. She glanced at her dress. The water was seeping into her skin, making her feel cold and uncomfortable.

She was trying hard to remain patient and make Cindy understand the truth.

But she had completely lost her cool when Cindy splashed water on her. There was no point in talking to her.

Cindy's mouth opened and her face turned pale when she heard Carla's words.

She was right. Cindy had been worried about Steven. She wanted him back and did not think before sending Carla to rescue him. But if she had known that she was giving Steven an opportunity to get closer with Carla, she would have never made the mistake of sending her there.

Steven had changed completely after returning from Yu Sea City.

"Even if that was the case, you still can't justify your filthy behavior. You are a married woman with two children! God, can't you stop luring men?"

Cindy glared at Carla.

"You are a shameless woman just like your mom. Do you really think you can marry as many people as you want? Fuck the traditions of Yu Sea City and fuck you! You and your family are disgusting!"

Carla averted her eyes and smiled bitterly at Cindy's acid remarks.

Carla did not want to stoop low and hurt her in return.

Cindy was her true friend and Carla valued friendship more than anything else in the world.

Even if Cindy had pierced her heart with her venomous words, Carla would never think of hurting her.
