Chapter 136
Chapter 136
Kevin couldn’t help cursing. “Who the hell is it? How dare you…”
“Fuck you, I’m Carlos Lawson”
Without any patience, Carlos introduced himself. His aura was completely released, completely crushing everyone present.
That was the dangerous aura of a long–term superior, something no one could compare to.
When Kevin heard that curse, he was scared out of his wits. He didn’t expect the legendary head of the Lawson family to be like that….
He sounded… so scary!
Kevin immediately gave in. Knowing Carlos came for Meggie, he quickly turned around and bid his farewell.
As soon as he left, the scene fell silent, so quiet that the left ones could hear each other’s breathing.
One was tentative, while the other was panting.
Meggie paled but still tried to stay calm. Though an actress for years, she failed to steady her nerves.
At that moment, Carlos was simply too terrifying, like a mad beast that could shred her any minute.
She swallowed hard and deliberately asked, “Hey, Carlos, why… why do you want me?”
She still had the nerve to ask? Carlos lost control.
He reached out to clutch her wrist, exerting force.
Meggie was really hurting so she groaned out loud.
“Carlos, what are you doing? You’re hurting me!”
“You know? I thought you don’t know how it hurts! What on earth did you say to Edith to make her cry?” Carlos questioned coldly, his voice dripping hostility.
His tone felt ice cold, sending a chill down people’s spines.
She couldn’t help but shiver from the bottom of her heart.
It felt… as terrifying as Death himself!
Before she could react, the man had lost all his patience.
He lowered his voice even more and growled grumpily. “I’m asking you, what did you say to her? Answer me-”
The last two words sounded like a roar.
His anger was raging.
Meggie was completely overwhelmed because she hadn’t seen Carlos lose his cool in such a long time.
Five years ago… He only acted like that five years ago.
Ever since what had happened back then, Carlos turned into an iceberg no one could melt.
However, then, he was livid again because of another woman.
Chapter 186
She started shedding tears of grievance and said angrily, “I told her about my sister. What’s wrong with that? You’re an unmarried couple! Now that it’s almost been five years, don’t you want Natalie anymore?”
“That’s my business. Don’t meddle with it anymore, whether it’s about Natalie or Edith! Because you’re Natalie’s younger sister, so I promised to take care of you before she left, and I’ve done what I could. Don’t try to test me, you don’t want to know the consequences!”
In fact, he had guessed roughly.
If she didn’t mention Natalie, she wouldn’t have anything that could break down Edith.
It was good that Edith was sad. At least it proved that she cared.
He comforted himself like that.
“Meggie Huffam, mind your own business. Don’t push your luck. Provoking her won’t do you any good. Remember, she’s far better than you!”
Then, he left without so much as a backward glance.
Hearing that, Meggie gaped with red–rimmed eyes.
She was far better than you…
What was that supposed to mean?
Just because Edith was Simon’s wife?
Everyone knew Meggie to have grown up with Carlos in the Lawson family. All the servants respected her and even Rubby Lawson doted on her.
He actually said that she was worse than Edith!
Meggie stomped her feet in tears of anger as she watched him leave.
She could never watch her beloved man be bewitched by some woman.
A married woman wanted to steal her lover? What nonsense!
Carlos raced back to the villa, only to see Susan greet him in a hurry, asking, “Mr. Lawson, what’s with Mrs. Lawson? She locked herself in the room crying all the time. Did… something happen?”
“I’ll fix this.” He stormed upstairs.
He knocked on her door, but no one answered. He tried to open the door with a key but failed. Something heavy seemed to be blocking the door.
That girl had put in a lot of effort to avoid seeing him.
He pounded on the door. “Edith White, come out!”
“I don’t want to talk to you, you big liar! Lying through your teeth…”
Edith wrapped herself in the quilt, feeling devastated.
Why did she learn the news when her heart started to flutter again?
No wonder he disappeared for a day that day. He left for another woman. Did he happen to know that leaving her alone in a strange place made her scared?
Chapter 136
They must have loved each other so deeply that they couldn’t quite forget the past.
She remembered what Meggie had said about her being a fake of Natalic.
Yes… she was an impostor.
She didn’t know what part of her resembled Natalie. If she knew, she would change, okay?
She didn’t come out, so Carlos pounded again, tearing apart the injury on his left hand and reddening the gauze.
Susan immediately stopped. “Mr. Lawson, don’t. Your injury hasn’t recovered yet. I’ll call Sam to send you back to the villa to get treated.”
“No. I’ll be staying here tonight.”
“Mr. Lawson, don’t you know Mrs. Lawson’s temper? If she gets really stubborn, no one can persuade her. Why don’t you talk after she calms down?”
Carlos squinted and agreed that he could only wait until Edith became patient again..
“Alright.
He responded in a deep voice and then stared deeply at the shut door. “Find a guy to tear down the door. I shall see what else she can use to block me again!”
After that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
He was never an indecisive person.
Susan also slightly trembled.
It had been a long time since Mr. Lawson had been so emotional. Was that a blessing or disaster?
What happened back then wouldn’t repeat itself, would it? If so, then Mr. Lawson would suffer too much. Moreover, wouldn’t it mean that Mrs. Lawson… would also see a hard time coming?
