Tess Baker didn’t even look at the fried egg, just drank a bowl of skinny porridge and couldn’t eat anything else, got up and went upstairs.
“Madam, you wait for me.” Aunt Zhang rushed over to hold her so that she would not fall on the floor and affect the baby in her belly.
Bowen Carter took one look at the untouched omelette, lost his appetite for dinner, and went straight out the door with his suit jacket.
When Tess Baker returned to the room, she sent Aunt Zhang out under the pretext of taking a break alone, and then she made a phone call to her office.
It was Aron Blair who answered the phone, “Boss Baker long time no see.”
“Boss Blair?” said Tess Baker, somewhat surprised, “You … are still in my company?”
She wanted to ask how the company was doing.
“Yeah. Your company has been merged under the name The Carter Group, and the president said you’re trying to raise a baby, so he’s making me the president of this company and trying to triple it in a year.”
Aron Blair said a bunch more later, but Tess Baker didn’t hear a word of it, her mind buzzing.
She struggled for five years to achieve, just become Bowen Carter’s bag, he did not even inform her …
So, just his punishment for her?
She vigorously pounded her chest, only in this way, to relieve a bit of heart suffocation.
Knock Knock!
Lucy Kid knocked on the door and walked in with an omelette in her hand, “Bowen is worried that the baby in your belly won’t have enough to eat, so she made the omelette especially for you, if you don’t eat it, it’s a waste of Bowen’s heart!”
As she spoke, she handed Tess Baker the omelette.
Tess Baker flipped the omelette to the floor with a slap and a knife-like glare, “You don’t have to pretend to be the good guy when Bowen Carter isn’t here!”
Kid Kid Kid … She knows Bowen Carter only cares about the baby in her belly and doesn’t care about her, no need for Wendy Summer to remind her over and over again!
“Bowen and I are genuinely concerned about the baby in your belly, after all, that is the bloodline of THE Carter family.” Lucy Kid deliberately tugged at her shirt to reveal the red marks on her neck, “If you’re doing this because of me and Bowen, there’s absolutely no need, I’ve cleaned it up afterwards.”
These red ‘hickeys’ on her neck, but she ruthlessly pinched them out, it would be a waste if they didn’t come in handy!
“Get out! You get out now!” Tess Baker was so angry that her face was white and her heart clogged.
She knew that Wendy Summer was deliberately angry with her and that she shouldn’t get angry, but she couldn’t help thinking about the image of them rolling around in bed!
“Fine, fine, I’ll leave now, don’t get angry, don’t hurt the baby.” Lucy Kid looked helpless and said bitterly, “Although Bowen won’t blame me if something happens to the baby, I will blame myself, after all, you are carrying Bowen’s child!”
Tess Baker grunted coldly and suddenly strode aggressively towards Lucy Kid.
Lucy Kid backed up in fright at the thought of her smashing things, “What … are you going to do?”
Master Carter and Tess Baker are not any easy light!
“That’s scary?” Tess Baker smirked, pushed her away and walked to the stairway entrance to call out to Aunt Zhang, “Aunt Zhang, please help me find a lighter.”
“Okay!” Aunt Zhang didn’t even ask her what she was doing, so she answered.
Lucy Kid’s heart was vaguely uneasy, “Miss Baker, what do you want … to do with a lighter? This is Bowen’s villa, if you fool around, he will not let you off!”
“You’ll see in a minute.” Tess Baker never condescends to herself, what others make her suffer, she will give back without fail!
What’s more, she hadn’t slept all night, her head hurt like hell, and Wendy Summer was buzzing in her ear like a fly!
Aunt Zhang asked her bodyguard to borrow a lighter and ran upstairs to give it to Tess Baker.
“Aunt Zhang, get two more people over here with fire extinguishers.” Tess Baker took the lighter and turned into her previous room. She would never leave her things to be trashed even if they were ruined!
Lucy Kid still wants to keep the room to disgust Tess Baker, “Wait! Miss Baker, if you do this nonsense, even the baby in your belly will not be able to protect you!”
She stopped Tess Baker with her arms wide open.
“Big deal!” Tess Baker snapped open her lighter and stared straight at Lucy Kid, “If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll light you up first!”
Lucy Kid’s eyes fell to the sound of leaping embers, wary of getting out of the way, she thought Tess Baker would really dare to do that!
Tess Baker glanced at her lightly, walked into the room, and lit the curtains and sheets. The fire started small, grew larger and brighter, and even took on black smoke.
Seeing this, the two bodyguards were about to rush up with fire extinguishers.
Tess Baker stopped them, her face pale, “If this room doesn’t burn down, you’ll put the fire out and I’ll jump off the stairs!”
Doesn’t Bowen Carter like to threaten people?
She threatened him with his child!
The two bodyguards looked at each other, rushed in with fire extinguishers, but only dared to make the fire a little smaller, did not dare to completely put out the fire.
“Miss Baker, you just said burn a bed, now how come it’s a room?” Lucy Kid really doesn’t understand how these rich people think, when they are in a bad mood, they have to burn their house down? How many people are poor and spend their whole life paying off the mortgage for their house!
“My pleasure.” Tess Baker didn’t even look at her, keeping her eyes on the fire.
Only after the room was burnt to a crisp did she turn around and whisper in Lucy Kid’s ear, “Didn’t you tell the servants to go home because you felt sorry for them? There are still many guest rooms, so pick one for yourself and clean it up, but hopefully you’ll be done by tonight.”
She never felt she was a good person, and things like repaying kindness with kindness would not happen to her!
“You …” Lucy Kid flushed red with anger, but quickly returned to smiling, “No need for Miss Baker to bother, if I don’t clean up well tonight, I’ll go stay with Bowen in an outside hotel. In fact, I told Bowen to not restrict your freedom, but he wouldn’t listen, so I can’t do anything about it.”
“That’s very kind of you!” Tess Baker clutched the corner of her coat and turned to leave … She had a terrible headache and had to go to bed.
…
Dennis Gate and Frank Duke made an appointment to take pictures today, but he waited for half a day in the hotel and didn’t see the second person except Frank Duke.
“Mr. Duke, you plan to post-picture?” Dennis Gate frowned tightly, “This kind of trick can’t fool Master Carter.”
“Don’t rush, be patient.” Frank Duke smiled evilly as he poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Dennis Gate.
Dennis Gate took the wine and just gently shook it, not drinking it. He is not familiar with Frank Duke, or a bit of caution is better.
“Worried about the wine?” Frank Duke chuckled softly and took a sip of his wine.
Dennis Gate was curious as to who the visitor would be, “Just something on my mind and I couldn’t drink.”
“Heh!” Frank Duke gave a meaningful laugh, “You are so infatuated with Tess Baker, yet she chose the elusive Master Carter, the mind of a woman is really hard to guess!”
Dennis Gate looked at the wine swirling in his glass, “Tess Baker wouldn’t choose Master Carter if she could, just like Miss Cole wouldn’t choose Eric Si.”
