Chapter 985 Carla Was Lucky

Carla couldn't help but laugh at Terence's obedience. With a smile on her face, she turned around and said to Carrie, "Auntie Carrie, my husband seldom comes here, so I want to spend as much time as I can with him here alone. We won't be disturbing you tonight.

But I promise you that we will have dinner at your home."

Carla grinned. Terence was a very sensitive guy, and she had to consider his feelings.

Terence was a neat freak, and since Carla knew that he would be uncomfortable sleeping on someone else's bed, she wanted to do what she could so that he wouldn't feel that way.

"Okay. It's up to you,"

Carrie said, nodding her head in agreement. She could tell right away that Terence was a very important person to Carla, and no one could replace him in her heart. No wonder Steven couldn't win her heart despite being extremely handsome.

Evening finally came.

To show her hospitality, Carrie served them a huge variety of fish dishes--some grilled, and the others steamed. Carla seemed to really enjoy all of the food.

Terence ate more than he talked. Every once in a while, he would help Carla pick out fish bones and even put more food on her plate.

This came as a huge surprise to Carrie. She had actually been planning to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson about the rules and etiquette in Yu Sea City.

She had initially thought that, since he was born as the heir of the AJ Group, Terence would be an arrogant man who was unwilling to serve his wife.

But to her surprise, Terence happily served Carla throughout their dinner without even saying a word!

After dinner...

"Callie, let's go to the side hall,"

Carrie proposed as she stood up from her seat.

"Okay."

Carla followed with Terrence by her side.

However, to her surprise, the moment the two of them arrived at the door, Carrie turned to Carla and said in a serious tone, "Callie, what we are about to talk about should be just between us women."

Carla cleared her throat and shot a quick glance at Terrence.

"Auntie Carrie..."

"Somebody tell my two husbands to come here and keep Terence company!"

Before Carla could get another word out, Carrie asked her subordinates to bring her husbands over.

Terence raised his eyebrows. When they were having dinner just moments ago, he had a feeling that there was something Carrie wanted to say, and now, she finally got the opportunity.

Nathan, who had been walking behind Terence, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw how Terence was being treated.

"Please watch your attitude! How could you treat Mr. Terence like that? How dare you!"

Nathan said wi

ste time anymore. Lucia and her mother know about the threat, and they are now trying to win people over to their side. If we sit and do nothing about it, the situation will no longer be in our favor,"

Carrie said, pounding the table hard.

"But Auntie Carrie, won't the next matriarch be determined by my grandmother?"

Carla asked with a frown.

Carrie smiled and shook her head. "Callie, you don't know much about Yu Sea City and its politics, so you have no idea just how complicated it is! Such an important thing cannot be decided by just one person.

It is true that the matriarch has the final say in making the decision, but she has to consider the opinions of other people, too.

The influence of Lucia and her mother is notable in Yu Sea City. In addition to that, they also have a wide range of contacts. You're new here. Do you think you can gain a firm foothold here with no one supporting you just because you're the eldest granddaughter of the matriarch?"

Upon hearing Carrie's explanation, Carla nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. There really is a lot that I need to learn from you."

Carrie looked at her with a smile and took a sip of water.

"You are quite lucky! Mr. Su has your back and is helping you establish relationships with the people here.

He has been in touch with the head of the Western Tribe, and they have given him a lot of good things. A few days ago, the head had a meeting with Mr. Su, and she promised to be on our side!"

"Steven?" Carla asked, clearly taken aback.

"Yes. I heard that Mr. Su grew up in a political family, so he has a lot of connections with people in this field. Plus, he is very smart, and he has already begun to help you with his resources,"

Carrie said with a bright smile.
