Chapter 153 How Long Will You Like Me (1/2)

'What the heck—What is this?' thought Carla.

Carla looked at the jumbled words on the screen. Nothing made sense. The characters were all garbled. 'What could it mean?' she frowned displeased and closed the window. 'Was the email a virus?'

The thought crossed her mind that the message could be in some code. Either way, she was disappointed about not being able to read the email.

'What a shame!'

Carla accepted that she wasn't going to be able to read the email and cast it aside. She decided to watch a film as she had initially planned.

It was a thriller. Carla went to get some snacks and then continued watching the film. Halfway through the movie, Carla could feel the building tension and fear within herself due to the film's plot. With her eyes wide open and glued to the screen, she absentmindedly chewed on a snack as she watched the exciting scene unfold before her. All of a sudden, a window popped up on the computer screen.

”Arhh—” Carla shrieked.

With the added tension and suspense from the movie, Carla jumped and instinctively pushed back hard on the chair. The chair overbalanced, and she landed on the floor.

As she lay on the floor rubbing her head, she heard a voice coming from the computer.

”Terence? Err—Where are you?”

Bryant's face popped up in the little window on the screen. He frowned because he saw that Terence was online. However, he was nowhere to be seen. He wanted to report what was happening with the investigation.

Bryant peered into the screen trying to spot Terence

and then he saw a chair appear in view, but still no sight of Terence.

”Terence, where are you?” Assuming that Terence was somewhere in the room, Bryant began with the report. ”The things that you asked me to investigate are almost done. The Hua's sons, York and Tristan, are not ordinary rivals.

They won't be easy to deal with, let alone their brother, Noah. Now he's a real crafty one! Terence, it's going to be really tough for you to remove all of the obstacles for your future wife.”

Carla, who was still on the floor, listened in shock.

'What's he talking about?

Why is he talking about the Hua family?

I've got nothing to do with the Hua's. Then who was Terence's future wife that he is referring to?' thought Carla. Her mind was running at a million miles an hour.
