Chapter 1022 Not Just An Accident

Carla wasn't raised in a wealthy family, nor was she trained in social etiquette. As she grew up, no one had taught her the importance of controlling her feelings to protect her family's name. As a result, she grew up with a straightforward personality. She had always worn her heart on her sleeve.

If she was angry, she would let it show in her words and actions. This situation was no exemption. Faced with the man who might have had something to do with Terrence's disappearance, she had let go of all pretensions and civility.

"You…" Gary was seething with anger. He held himself back even though he wanted to curse the woman in front of him. Turning his gaze to Steven, he expressed his disappointment at Carla. "Steven, is this the kind of woman you like? She is so rude! She will be a disgrace to our family!"

Gary had always been treated with respect by the people around him. It was the first time in his life that he was pointed at by a young woman who called him by his name and showed him contempt. Worst of all, she was the woman that his son wanted to get at any cost.

"Carla, what's going on? Are you here to look for Mr. An? Mr. An, is he…" Steven was unsure of how to phrase his question. "Haven't you found him yet?"

Steven asked with a frown. Unlike his father, he knew about Carla's straightforward personality. She was actually being considerate towards his father since she didn't slap him in the face.

Carla held back her tears and glared at Gary. "Ask your father, Steven. What did he do? Terence is missing now and no one knows where he is. Did he do it or not?"

Steven turned his head and gave a meaningful look at his father as he thoughtfully considered Carla's concern.

"Father..." He wanted his father to tell the truth.

Gary avoided Steven's gaze and said, "Tell your friend that she came to the wrong place. I admit that I had some misunderstandings with Terence An in the past, but the car accident had nothing to do with me."

Steven knitted his brows and asked Carla to stay, "Carla, wait for me here."

He then turned to his father and uttered coldly, "Dad, let's go inside and talk."

Both father and son entered the study.

"Dad, please tell me the truth. Did you arrange the car accident? How did Mr. An disappear after the car accident? Did you do anything?"

Steven asked his father seriously. He knew Carla wouldn't come for his father without reason. Her sudden appearance had aroused his suspicion towards his father.

"I admit it, Steven. I did send someone to come for Mr. An before, but none of those attempts succeeded. I have nothing to do with this accident! Please believe me!"

Gary shook his head and let out a deep sigh.

"Dad, you should know how serious of a matter this is to me. I want to compete wit

before he got here," said Nathan.

He opened the surveillance video saved in his laptop and showed it to Carla.

Carla zoomed in to verify the passenger's identity and found that it was indeed Terence. "What about the car? Have you checked the driver? Is there anything suspicious about him?"

"I have questioned his colleagues and investigated his background. For the time being, I haven't found anything suspicious,"

Nathan said with a sigh. If this accident was indeed deliberately arranged, his colleagues would admit nothing.

Since this seemed to be the case, the brain behind this incident must have made detailed plans.

The only thing he could do now was to find Terence as soon as possible.

Carla could only see Terence's face vaguely. Her heart was pierced and throbbing with pain

At the moment, she could only hope that Terence would come back safe and sound. She would give up anything for him to alive and safe.

It was at this moment that she realized what was important to her.

She didn't care about who the matriarch of Yu Sea City was or what her responsibility was. All she wanted was to be with Terence and be held in his arms.

"Mrs. An, shall we go back and eat something? You haven't eaten anything since you got back from Yu Sea City," Nathan suggested. "You can rest assured that we will conduct the most comprehensive search. If there is any information about Mr. An, the team will immediately inform us!"

Indeed, Carla looked terrible. She could barely stand and her lips were cracked from dehydration. Ever since they got on the boat, she hadn't eaten nor drunk anything. How could her body take it?

But Carla just shook her head. "I'm fine. You can go home first if you are tired. I want to stay here and look for him."

"Then let me go with you,"

Carol said and followed Carla into the woods.
