Chapter 943 I Am Facing Curses Because Of You.

"Cindy, I thought we were friends. Why are you hell-bent on making the situation ugly?"

Carla looked at Cindy and asked. She thought she was on fairly good terms with Cindy even a few days ago, but now it seemed that they were enemies rather than friends.

The rabid remarks by Cindy made Carla feel sour and very disappointed.

"Ha-ha. You feel embarrassed? Well, then it seems that you know the basic etiquette that a woman should have. And if that's the case, then just stop seducing Steven. Okay?" Cindy hurled yet another hurtful remark at Carla. This time she got straight to the point.

By this time, Cindy's heart was filled with hatred for Carla.

Cindy had a strong suspicion that Carla was in a relationship with Steven.

'Carla must be seducing Steven. Otherwise, why would he still miss her? If she wasn't in any relationship with Steven, then why would he treat me so indifferently?' Cindy thought to herself.

"Cindy, I've told you several times that Steven and I are just friends. Why don't you trust me?" Carla asked, furrowing her brows.

Slowly Carla started to realize that it was difficult for her to make Cindy see things rationally. Once suspicion and misunderstanding occupied the mind, all explanations were bound to go down the drain.

"Carla, don't you feel tired? Why are you still pretending to be innocent? You are acting as if you haven't done anything wrong. Why?"

Cindy sneered at Carla.

Cindy was trying her best to agitate Carla. Indeed her actual purpose behind meeting Carla was not just to blame her. She had something else in mind.

Steven's father had sent someone to talk to Cindy yesterday. He wanted her to dissuade Steven from going to Yu Sea City.

That was when Cindy came to know that Steven wanted to go there because of Carla. This made her furious.

Cindy's objective behind meeting Carla was to drive a wedge between Carla and Steven. She assumed that if Cindy could make Carla and Steven turn against each other, it would be easier to stop Steven from going back to Yu Sea City.

Cindy and Gary were on the same page on this matter. Neither of them wanted Steven to go there ever again.

Therefore, they wanted to stop Steven by all means.

Just then, Steven rushed in.

"Ste...

Steven, you are finally here!"

Just as Cindy was about to say something, Carla spoke up.

Carla had finally figured out the whole thing. She understood the reason behind Cindy's changed disposition all of a sudden. Cindy liked Steven. But since she chose to misunderstand Carla to the point that she was not ready to listen to anything at all, Carla thought that she would rather not explain anything to Cindy any further. She didn't care about what others thought about her.

"Are you all right?"

Steven looked at Carla who was wet all over and had a flabbergasted look on her face. Then he turned to Cindy and his eyes fell on the empty glass on

o of the thoughts that had been weighing her down. She then walked over to Andrea and gave her a hug. Fortunately, her dress had dried during the ride home.

"Callie, my baby. Be careful not to hurt Adonis," Andrea smiled and said.

Carla let go of her mother and looked at her from head to toe carefully. "Mom, it has been only a few days since we saw each other last. Why do you look so haggard?

Andrea handed Adonis over to the nanny. Then she sat down and said, "Don't worry about me. Maybe I didn't get proper sleep in the last few days."

Carla had no idea about her mother's state of mind. Andrea had been having sleepless nights ever since Carla left for Yu Sea City. She was afraid that Carla would be bullied by Lucia and her mother. She was also afraid that her mother might not even recognize Carla.

"Why? Aren't you getting proper rest? That means there is something that's bothering you. Tell me, what is it?"

Carla sat beside her and asked anxiously.

Andrea looked at Carla tenderly, patted her hair and said, "Your grandfather has sent his people three times, to persuade me to return to Yu Sea City.

He said that he wanted me to go back and prove your identity so that you could inherit the leadership position.

Callie, what do you think about it?"

Carla leaned her head against her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, do we have any other option?"

After a moment of silence, Carla said, "I think maybe we can give all that up. No matter what, you're still Mrs. Hua, and I'm Mrs. An. What do you think?"

Andrea was aware that if Carla was unwilling to go back, then nobody could do anything to force her to go.

Hearing Carla's words, Andrea lowered her head. After a while, she sighed and said, "Callie, you've been wondering why you left me that year, haven't you?"

Hearing this, Carla looked up at her, with joy and anticipation in her eyes.

"Mom! Are you really willing to tell me about that?"
