Love is the Sunshine
Chapter 81 Mr. Terence, You Are So Shameless
It was pouring rain in JA City.
Terence stood in front of the window and looked out at the gloomy gray sky. He watched as the heavy rain dripped from the eaves.
"Mr. Terence, I have just received news about Miss Carla from BH City. She ran into some trouble yesterday."
Nathan said as he stood quietly behind Terence, waiting for a response.
"Tell me all about it." Terence didn't turn around. He remained to look out of the window. 'What happened to Carla?' he thought with a slight frown.
"Noah has been spotted in BH City lately, and it is still unclear what the purpose of his visit is. However, he has also been seen with Miss Carla," Nathan said carefully when he reported the recent events of Carla to Terence.
Terence turned when he heard Noah's name mentioned and faced Nathan directly. He narrowed his eyes.
"Noah?"
Nathan nodded and continued gravely, "Noah is a ruthless and greedy man. He leaves no room for negotiation and is very cruel with his methods of persuasion. Ever since he took charge of the Hua Group, he has used every method possible to achieve his goals. If anything were to stand in his way, he would simply eliminate the problem. He must have some sinister motive since he has approached Miss Carla."
Terence's face suddenly took on a serious expression. His mood got worse after hearing what Nathan said. He clenched his teeth as he reached for the cigarette box and pulled one cigarette out.
"The Hua family and the An family never interfere with each other. But recently, Bonnie Hua had come to JA City and shortly afterward, Noah Hua had been spotted in BH City. He has lived in HA City for a long time. That's so weird.
What the hell is the Hua family up to? After so many years of peace between the two families, why did they suddenly decide to make a move?"
Terence frowned, puzzled about their purposes. He sat back in his leather chair. He took a drag on his cigarette and expelled the smoke slowly. He only smoked when he felt disturbed about something and this was one of those occasions.
"Did you find out how Noah got in touch with Carla?" he asked.
Nathan nodded his head.
"Yes. I found out the whole story. Miss Carla was mugged on her way home from work yesterday and the thieves ran off with her bag. Miss Carla tried to pursue them and she was attacked with a knife by one of them. Noah appeared right at that moment and saved her.
He drove Miss Carla to the hospital. She had sustained some minor cuts and bruises, but she is all right. This afternoon they ran into each other again at the police station to give their witness statements. And then they had dinner together.
After they had dinner, Noah personally drove Miss Carla home. She has got home safe now."
Terence's heart sank when heard that Carla was injured. He sat up in the chair and butt the cigarette out into the ashtray vigorously, as if the cigarette was the villain who hurt Carla.
"Noah is only interested in doing things for his own personal gain and he is notorious for his ruthless means of getting his way. There is only one reason can be explained why he wanted to approach Carla. There must be something in Carla that he want."
