Chapter 25 It’s too shameless
“Has baby had breakfast yet? Do you want some?” Tess Baker took a lunch box and put the hoisin soup inside.
“Not in the mood!” Linda Mark threw the pillow onto the couch and crossed her arms, “Tess, Tess, I’m getting pissed off at those people in your family!”
Tess Baker put her lunchbox on the table, a haze clouded her eyes, “You got someone to scare them and it doesn’t work?”
There were times when she wondered if she was the family’s own child, otherwise why would they treat her so badly?
“No!” Linda Mark sat down on the couch and pounded the pillow in her hand in annoyance, “They ran into my house before I had a chance to scare them!”
Tess Baker’s brow furrowed as she sat down in the president’s chair and pulled out a check slip, “How much did they borrow and I’ll pay you back!”
“It’s not about the money! Tess Baker, I’m warning you, if you think of me as a friend, stop talking about money!” Linda Mark kicked off her heels and sat cross-legged on the couch, “I’m mad at you because of what those people in your family said! It’s so shameful!”
How dare they say, “Tess Baker just died and didn’t care about us, she raised us all these years for nothing!
Is this the kind of thing a family member should say?
“… They’ve always been like that, just get used to it.” Tess Baker put down the check and rubbed his brow. One thing after another was bothering her, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Seeing her like this, Linda Mark threw the pillow aside and said glumly, “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about that! How did your conversation with the senior go last night? Did he confess to you?”
“No.” Tess Baker leaned back in the president’s chair and simply put the words out there, “I have no interest in him at all, so don’t even think about setting us up!”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Tess Baker, tell me clearly, are you still thinking about Bowen Carter?” Linda Mark walked up to her, jumped on the table and looked down at her.
“I …”
“Don’t move! What’s going on with your face?”
Linda Mark cupped Tess Baker’s face, teeth crunching as she saw the redness on her face.
Tess Baker looked away from her face and naturally covered the still fresh slap marks with her hair, “Nothing.”
“You’re all beaten up like that, and you’re saying it’s okay? Linda Mark’s decibel level was raised, “Who did this to you?”
“It’s really nothing. Don’t interfere, I can handle my own business.” Linda is a violent temper, Tess Baker is afraid that she will cause any trouble.
Linda Mark pointed at her, pointed for a long time but did not say a word, and then angrily carried the bag out of the door.
Tess Baker knew she was like that, so she let her go.
Linda doesn’t know who did this anyway, and she’s not afraid of Linda rushing to her house with a knife!
…
Linda Mark carried her bag out the door, so angry that she didn’t even reply to what the cute girl at the front desk said.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she was, she simply drove to the headquarters of The Carter Group.
Five years and nothing happened to Tess at all. As a result, as soon as Bowen Carter appeared, Tess was beaten up. This matter must have something to do with Bowen Carter!
“Miss, do you have an appointment?” The receptionist asked politely.
Linda Mark threw the limited edition bag on the table and was aggressive, “I’m Linda Mark! Tell Bowen Carter that I’m looking for him!”
The receptionist took a few glances at the bag, not daring to offend Linda Mark, who was covered in designer brands, and called the president’s secretary’s office to report the situation.
Soon, the assistant came down from the president’s special elevator, “Mark, the president is waiting for you upstairs.”
Linda Mark grunted heavily at him and got on the president’s elevator.
Behind her, assistant touched his nose sarcastically, he was really shot even though he was lying down!
“Bowen Carter, you have to explain to me today!” Linda Mark yelled angrily as soon as she entered the president’s office.
Bowen Carter was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and turned his head to look at her, with a cold frown between his eyes, “Explain what?”
If she wasn’t Tess Baker’s BFF, she’d be damned a million times over for that attitude.
When she met his eyes, Linda Mark unconsciously took a step back, something called fear pressed down on her body.
But when she thought of the slap on Tess Baker’s face, anger overcame reason, “What happened to the slap on Tess’ face? Don’t tell me you don’t know!”
“So what if I do?” Thinking of Linda Mark lying to him for five years, he laughed coldly, his eyes tinged with gloom, “Linda Mark, you dare to lie to me, you’ve got a lot of nerve!”
Linda Mark’s hands were hanging by her legs, her fingertips trembling, scorn and anger intertwined in her heart, “Tess had a happy life for five years, only to see you for one day and get beaten up, why should I tell you that she is still alive? Were you worth it?”
“It seems my warning didn’t go over well with you!” Bowen Carter snorted and instructed with the assistant aside, “Tell Manager Doll that that Zack guy can be fired!”
“Wait! Master Carter, what do you mean?” Mom and Dad were already unhappy with Zack, and if he lost his job again, Mom and Dad would force them to break up!
Linda Mark hated Bowen Carter’s threatening tactics, but had to admit that it worked better than anything else.
Bowen Carter sat in the president’s chair, long legs folded together, cold thin lips slightly open, “You said something you should not say”
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. This statement she said absolutely sincere.
Bowen Carter’s gaze was cool, “If you don’t want your little boyfriend to lose his job, you better stay out of Tess Baker’s business!”
Linda Mark stared hard at him, with a million words in her mind, but no words to say. Her teeth gritted together, she forced down the urge to curse, turned around and headed out the door.
“I said let you go?” He still had some things to confirm with her.
Linda Mark turned around with a grim face, “Master Carter has something else?”
What else could she do but cooperate?
“What is the relationship between Dennis Gate and Tess Baker?” Bowen Carter placed his hands on the table, his gaze locked on her, his muscles tense.
“Yo, so that’s what you wanted to ask!” Linda Mark said grimly, “Well, I’d say you hit the nail on the head! In the five years you’ve been away, Tess has been talking to Dennis Gate about getting married! Oh, and they’re recently discussing an engagement date!”
She was simply trying to piss off Bowen Carter!
“You know what it costs to tell a lie!” Bowen Carter’s long fingers clasped the edge of his chair, and the bruises on the back of his hand.
Linda Mark snorted coldly, “What do I have to gain by lying to you?”
The words fell, the office was silent, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Bowen Carter lowered his eyes, thick and slender eyelashes converge his eyes, but can feel his body almost to erupt the hostility.
The assistant silently took a few steps toward the door, away from the center of the storm.
“Master Carter, you have asked your questions, now can I go?” Seeing him angry, she couldn’t say how relieved she was.
