Chapter 443 Mammonist (1/2)
Hasen was indeed right. Every single person who had a connection with the An family in some way was either wealthy or of noble birth. 'How shrewd my aunt and uncle are!' Carla pondered to herself.
”Oh, what an honest girl you are, Carla. We were under the assumption that you'd loathe us given that you got married to Mr. Terence. But as it turns out, we were completely wrong,”
Hasen exclaimed, feeling delighted to hear Carla say yes.
”What sort of nonsense you are spouting! Carla is our sister's daughter, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that she's such a kind-hearted girl, just like our sister,” Hasen's wife exclaimed, looking him straight in the eye.
The couple simply echoed one another.
”Yes, I guess you're right. It was such a shame that both of them, our sister and brother-in-law, passed on at such a young age and weren't fortunate enough to be living in ease and comfort. If it weren't for that, then...”
Heaving a heavy and pitiful sigh, Hasen let out a cough and added, ”Carla, when are you going to come and pay your parents a visit?”
”I'm planning to go this coming weekend,” Carla answered after taking a sip of her drink.
”That's good to hear! Your parents would be able to feel at ease knowing that you found yourself a wealthy man, and they're going to be so proud of you!” Hasen commented, nodding his head along.
It was a given that he was feeling downhearted. If only he had known beforehand that Carla would be marrying Terence, then he would have been more than willing to give up the lost shot left in the locker to lend a hand in helping to cure his sister.
Under those circumstances, Carla would have treated him quite differently at present.
As Carla was on her way to the bathroom to wash her hands, Lynn went after her.
After getting her hands cleaned, Carla walked out of the bathroom first. The moment she stepped out, she stumbled upon a man who had a smug look on his face.
It was Johnny.
Interestingly enough, the smile on Johnny's face tended to be so alluring for other women, but in Carla's eyes, it simply looked like such a conceited grin.
”Are those your relatives back from your hometown?”
Johnny asked, shifting his gaze over toward the two persons sitting.
