Chapter 445 – The President Is Really Ruthless
The coffee table across from the desk had been set up with a table full of dishes, steaming and fragrant, seducing the cravings in one’s body.
But Tess Baker just looked away, “When is Mike coming over?”
“Five more minutes.” Bowen Carter spoke as softly as he could, but it was still cold, “You eat first.”
Tess Baker sat down on the couch but didn’t move her chopsticks; she didn’t have much of an appetite.
“Have some soup first.” Bowen Carter served a bowl of rib soup and put it in front of her, “If you want to see the two kids, listen to me.”
Tess Baker was going to refuse, but when she heard the latter sentence, she swallowed her refusal.
She frowned and picked up the bowl, taking small sips. The rib soup tasted good, light, with a mellow flavor from the bones, and the winter melon had been stewed and melted in her mouth, but her attention was fully focused on the doorway.
Taking in her every move, Bowen Carter was actually a little jealous of her son at this point, but also a little grateful.
Without his son and daughter, he should not have been able to keep Tess Baker …
Knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Tess Baker scuffed to her feet, a light smile appearing on her ever cold face as she jogged all the way over to open the door, “Little …”
At the door stood not the little one, but Ben Si and the old man Si, who had all of a sudden become much more vicissitudinous.
The smirk disappeared from Tess Baker’s face and she turned to go back to her office.
Sr. Si and Ben Si followed.
“President, the old master and Si Shao said that they are looking for you and madam for urgent matters.” Secretary Wang followed in and explained sardonically.
Bowen Carter’s brow furrows as he tries to have a meal with Tess Baker and his son to ease the relationship, now his plans have all been derailed.
“You’ve been suppressing the Si family for so long, they’ve already been punished, let them go.” Tess Baker suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Elder Si had a complicated look on his face, not expecting that this granddaughter who had threatened him a few days ago would speak for their Si family.
Ben Si hurriedly followed and chimed in, “Master Carter, I was so deluded that I agreed to Dennis Gate, I promise, it will never happen again!”
Bowen Carter ignored him and instead turned to Tess Baker, frowning, “They used you, and you’re really going to let them off the hook?”
His women didn’t need to be kind, just not bullied.
“Tess, we’re your family, not like the scum of THE Baker Family, think before you answer!” Ben Si said anxiously.
He wanted to say more, but swallowed it all under Bowen Carter’s icy gaze.
“Uh-huh.” Tess Baker said with a weary look under Ben Si’s excited gaze, “And you’ve served your purpose, you may go.”
She didn’t have the energy or interest to tangle with them anymore, and it was best to stay out of each other’s way!
“Okay, okay, we’re leaving now!” With her words carrying so much weight in front of Bowen Carter, Ben Si didn’t want to let go of her golden thigh so easily, “Tess, you and Master Carter eat first, and Grandpa and I will pay a visit another day.”
Afraid of Tess Baker’s refusal, he finished and tried to help Master Si out.
When he heard Master Carter made up with Tess Baker, he thought it was a lie, but it turned out to be true!
But Master Si didn’t move, instead he looked straight at Bowen Carter and said after a long time, “Master Carter, I’m going to come right out and say it, I want Tess to come back to our Si family.”
Hearing this, Tess Baker froze for a moment, then frowned.
What kind of game is Master Si playing?
Bowen Carter’s face instantly blackened, it was already a struggle for him to agree to spare the Si family, but the Si old man even wanted to take away Tess Baker?
“Master Carter don’t get me wrong,” Ben Si explained with a sweaty head when he saw Bowen Carter’s face harden, “Grandpa just means he wants Tess to come home for a couple of days, a lot of the relatives haven’t seen her yet.”
Why did Grandpa suddenly want to bring Tess home? Grandpa hadn’t told him about it before they arrived!
“No need.” Tess Baker directly refused, she wasn’t in the mood to meet those relatives of the Si family or anything, to her, the Si family was the same as THE Carter family, not a place she wanted to stay.
Seeing that she didn’t agree, Bowen Carter’s face softened a bit, intent on letting the uninvited grandparents and grandchildren go.
“Not for two days.” Before Bowen Carter could shoo him away, Master Si blurted out, “Tess isn’t happy with you, and I want to take Tess back to the Si family.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
That statement says it all: Elder Si disapproves of the two being together!
Tess Baker frowned at the red-faced Master Si, what did he want to do with such a sudden move? Isn’t he afraid that Bowen Carter will continue to suppress the Si family? When the time comes, she won’t be able to speak on their behalf!
Secretary Wang swallowed nervously, if she had known that the urgent matter Master Si was talking about was this matter, she would never have let Master Si and Si Shao in.
It’s over and done with, I wonder how the president will punish her!
“Grandpa, what are you babbling about?” Ben Si’s face went white with fear, “Master Carter is good to Tess for all to see, don’t do anything to stick it to her.”
Does Grandpa know what he’s doing? It’s crazy. It’s crazy!
“Good my ass!” Master Si was swearing in his haste, “If Master Carter was really good to Tess, how come he sent her to jail?”
Ben Si’s face went red and white, white and green, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
“Do you have any idea what kind of people those are that are locked up with Tess?” Si old man’s voice is trembling, “Murderers ah! There is also a female prisoner inside, she likes women, and has raped and killed three women before … before! Put Tess and these people together, and you still tell me that Master Carter is good to Tess?”
Hearing this, Secretary Wang was so surprised that his lips were half-open.
The president actually locked up his wife with a lesbian murderer, which is too harsh, no wonder his wife refused to forgive him!
It was the first time that Ben Si heard about this incident, and he was surprised but also scared, Master Carter is so cruel to his beloved women, if they offend him, they will not be able to get away!
His mind raced, figuring out how not to offend Master Carter.
But before he could think of a way out, Elder Si said once again, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I found someone to save Tess, she wouldn’t even know if she’s in this world right now!”
Secretary Wang felt that he wasn’t exaggerating at all, the lady was so pretty and had a great body, how could that lesbian murderer let go of such a beautiful woman?
“Stop it!” Tess Baker clenched her fists, her body trembling.
Bowen Carter looked at her pained expression and just felt as if his heart was being clutched by a large invisible hand and he could barely breathe.
Even if he hadn’t done what sent her to prison, it was all a result of his failure to protect her!
