Chapter 964 Carla Pretended To Pass Out

Lucia hastily pushed her foot away, dusted off the gray footprint on her chest, and glared at Carla.

"Throw her off the cliff! I don't want to see her anymore!"

Lucia growled.

Waves of shame and anger engulfed her. She wanted to tear Carla apart.

"Yes, my lady!"

Carlota gestured her men to capture Carla. The purpose of Lucia's visit was to chuck Carla out.

Lucia had intended to win Steven's heart by defeating Carla in close combat.

But she never expected Carla to effortlessly take her down.

"Wait. Are you going to break your promise?

Lucia, stop making a fool of yourself! Being a woman of Yu Sea City, it's necessary for you to maintain a cordial relationship and honor. You don't deserve to be the granddaughter of the matriarch,"

Carla grunted.

"You have no fucking right to determine whether I'm qualified or not.''

Lucia sneered and gritted her teeth, "Guards! What are you waiting for? Throw her off the cliff and feed her to the wolves.''

"Lucia, don't you dare lay a finger on me. For God's sake, I'm your elder cousin! You've got to respect me, ''

Carla warned. The most religious custom of Yu Sea City includes its people respecting their elders. Lucia was blatantly ignoring the clan rules.

"Elder sister, my ass! Your mother had broken all her ties with my grandmother.

She doesn't belong to the clan anymore and you're not my fucking cousin!"

Lucia scoffed and stepped forward, encroaching on Carla's personal space. ''Carla, don't try to fool me. You have no chance to rise above me.''

She turned around to look at the guards.

"Are you deaf? I said, get rid of her! I will face the consequences just do what I say.''

But Lucia's men were too terrified to heed her command.

"Who has the audacity to touch my granddaughter?"

Arthur's resonant voice boomed from a distance as he walked in.

Arthur rushed over as soon as he heard the news of Lucia threatening to kill Carla. It was fortunate that he had arrived on time.

Lucia's eyes widened when she saw Arthur walking towards her. She bowed her head respectfully. "Grandpa, you're ba

It was dark outside and a gust of cold wind swept into the room through the half opened window.

Steven quickly closed the window and walked back to the bed. The bracelet was still vibrating in a steady rhythm. He inched forward and pressed a button, trying to turn it off. But he had accidentally pressed the answer button.

"Carla!" Terence's nervous voice reverberated from the bracelet.

Carla's bracelet had sent a signal to Terence about the steady rise in her body temperature. Terence became worried and called her immediately.

After a short pause, Steven answered, "It's me, Mr. An. Err ... Carla is sleeping. She is not feeling well, ''

Steven said.

An ominous silence filled the air.

After a long while, Terence cleared his throat.

"Take good care of her for me. I'll consider it as an act of atonement for your father's crimes.''

Terence's voice was low and emotionless. Steven couldn't make out whether he was mad at him or not.

The bracelet flashed and became silent as Terence disconnected the call. Steven sighed and tucked Carla's bracelet laden hand back under the quilt.

Carla was blissfully sleeping, unaware of her husband's call.

Steven decided not to wake her up.

He glanced at his watch. It was still early and he thought he would wait until Carla woke up. It would take time to prepare the medicines anyway.
