Love is the Sunshine

Terence called Nathan and asked him to bring a cup of coffee. He looked up at Bryant through his long thick lashes.

"Of course I want to do that but I can't. You know nothing about the situation of the Hua family. Under the calm waters are the dark tides. It just seems like everything is going smoothly, but in reality, conflicts continue to spread and intensify. If we expose Carla's real identity this time, we would put her in danger," Terence expounded on the situation.

Hearing Terence's explanation, Bryant hesitated for a moment. He was an expert in searching for information but he had no idea about the complication of power struggle between warring families.

"But...that can't be true! Miss Carla is the only true biological daughter of the Hua family. Isn't she supposed to be the apple of their eyes? How could she be in danger?" Bryant curiously asked.

Terence just sneered and shook his head.

"Bryant, you don't understand. I know this kind of family very well. The Hua family adopted three sons. Aside from Bonnie, those three sons have already been fighting tooth and nail for the family inheritance. The mere presence of Carla, being the only true biological daughter would only make them unite to bring her down," Terence clarified.

With a large fortune in front of them, even biological siblings became enemies, what more would happen with family members who are not related by blood?

If Carla's true identity was made public at this moment, she would become everyone's target.

After hearing Terence's concerns, Bryant fully understood his reasons.

"How silly of me! If that's the case, Mr. Terence, you must take good care of Miss Carla and keep her away from the Hua family or she would be in danger!" Bryant concluded.

It was clear then that the situation was not just any small matter. The Hua family had such a huge wealth and influence that it wouldn't be surprising if people killed each other for it.

"You shouldn't worry about that. Carla is my future wife. Of course, I'll keep her safe," Terence confidently assured him. Terence called on Nathan—who was waiting at the door—to come in.

Then, he turned off the laptop and sat down on the sofa.

"Here's your coffee, Mr. Terence." Nathan placed the mug on the table and stood quietly behind him.

Having sat for too long, Terence started to feel pain on his back. He stretched his shoulders and placed his hand on the arm of the sofa, fingers tapping gently on it. "Nathan, you told me last time that Noah, the eldest son of the Hua family, tried to approach Carla. Is there any other thing about that encounter that seems significant?" Terence carefully asked Nathan.

Nathan thought for a moment before speaking,"we found out that Noah was the one who instructed the robbery. But we still don't know his real intention."

Terence squinted. Nathan's words cast a shadow over his eyes. His taps on the edge of the sofa became faster and faster.
