Chapter 682 Garys Plan (1/2)

”Mrs. Carla, you might not know much. Do you know who Steven really is?”

Nathan couldn't resist asking her as he was driving. He figured Carla had misunderstood Terence.

Carla shook her head. ”I don't, all I know is he comes from a very rich family.”

”That isn't entirely wrong. His family is not only rich but also really powerful. He is the only son of our city's new mayor, Gary!”

explained Nathan, his eyes fixed on the road.

Carla's eyes widened in shock.

It took her a while to process it, actually. She hadn't expected that at all.

Grace's uncle was the ex-mayor. Steven's father was the current mayor. Naturally, the two families didn't get along well.

Carla was surprised at how much Grace liked Steven despite that. She couldn't help but wonder if it was actually some political maneuvering.

It was beyond Carla's understanding.

She looked at Terence, who was sitting next to her. She finally understood why he disliked Steven so much. He wasn't jealous of him, like she had thought earlier.

It was better for her to stay away from people with political backgrounds as strong as Steven's.

”You don't have to worry, honey. I will stay away from him,” Carla put her hand on the back of Terence's hand. Since he didn't like Steven much, she had decided to keep her distance from him.

Even though Carla thought of Steven as an honest and upright person with little to no ego and no ulterior motives, she would not befriend him for Terence's sake.

It wasn't his fault. They were just on two very different camps.

Terence wrapped his arm around her shoulder, keeping quiet.

He didn't really want Carla to get involved in the fight between the Su family and the An family.

The Su family was currently in power. Gary was going to start a war with Terence. It was better if Carla didn't get close to any members of the Su family, so she could stay out of any mess that might occur in the days that were to follow.

A week passed by.

There was some news from the prison. Marcus had got two of his ribs broken in a fierce group fight. He was taken to the prison hospital.

This brawl in the prison wasn't something unusual. However, Edmund knew this was Gary's tactic to force him to save Marcus.
