Carla stopped and turned around to look at Terence hearing what he just said.
"But I have Carol. I think you should go back to work.''
Terence ignored her and slipped his hands into the boxing gloves. "It's OK, I'm staying. It's been a long time since I have worked out anyway. I will practice with Nathan and you can train with Carol.''
Carla nodded and walked towards the training area with Terence.
Carla tried to master every move with Carol's guidance. The two of them decided to take a break when they were completely drained.
Carla and Carol sat down to watch Terence and Nathan who were fighting fiercely.
Their moves were effortless as they have had adequate and professional training. They soon got bored of the basic moves and got into a more intensive fight.
The rush of adrenaline had made them aggressive and they seemed to enjoy the fight more and more.
Carla and Carol couldn't take their eyes off them.
"Wow! Awesome moves!"
Carla clapped her hands excitedly when they were done with the first round. Seeing them fight was like a dose of motivation that pushed Carla to work harder.
Meanwhile
In the Su mansion
"Victor, how is she doing? Is she alright?"
Steven asked Victor who had come to give him food. Steven was grounded and had no means of contact with the outside world. He was worried about Carla as his father had threatened to have her killed.
"She's fine. I heard that Mr. Su's men were fended off by Mrs. An's bodyguards. So it's all good. Moreover, Mr. An has already sent his men to warn Mr. Su. I don't think your father would think of harming her again because he knows that Mr. An would completely crush him if he did.''
Victor said as he placed the dishes, one after the other, on the table, "Err... Sir Steven, I know it's not my place to tell you this but I think you should stop chasing Mrs. An.
She is already married to Mr. An. He is powerful and would go to any extent to keep her safe and happy. I don't think it's necessary for you to go to Yu Sea City. There's not much you can do and so many other places to go to.'' Victor smiled sadly.
Steven was sitting on the sofa with one hand on his knee. He looked out the window and let his eyes wander across the yard, which was covered with beautiful trees and flowers. He closed his eyes and sighed. "You know what? I have always regretted not meeting her earlier in my life. I wish I
a keeper of secrets and it was hard to pull the truth out of his mouth. This could not have been an impulsive plan. Carla would have already made up her mind and discussed with him a couple of days ago.
Dorothy who was taking a sip of tea, stopped, and turned to look at her daughter. It was a shocking news indeed. "What? You mean Andrea and her daughter are returning to Yu Sea City?"
"Yes, Mom!" Lucia plopped down next to her mother. The news of Carla's arrival had almost given her a panic attack. She didn't expect them to return so soon.
"I think they are coming back to fight for their right to inherit the leadership.
Mom, we can't sit still and wait for death. We must make our next move.''
Dorothy put down her tea cup. She was equally perplexed. "Don't worry, Lucia. It was Andrea's decision to give up her power and identity. No one forced her to do that. She can't leave then just return whenever she wants. Even if we don't oppose it, I'm sure that people would be against it.''
"What do you mean, Mom?"
Lucia asked curiously.
"Listen, Andrea had promised your grandmother that she would never set foot in Yu Sea City again. She has broken her promise now. You know your grandmother's temper. Do you think she will accept Andrea?''
Dorothy stood up and blew out a loud breath. "Lucia, go to your room and get changed. I think it's time for us to go to the Wang Village.
We should not let your grandmother find out the news of my sister's arrival.''
Lucia's eyes glimmered with joy as a sly smile tugged on the corners of her lips. "Yes, I will be ready in a minute!"
