Leaving the hospital, Maria urgently flagged down a taxi, "I’m not going to be a third wheel for you two. I’m going to Liliana Manor to study."
Carlos replied irritably, "Study or goof off?
There’s not much time left before the exams."
"Brother, how can you not believe me.
You saw my grades, I’ve improved a lot in recent exams."
Maria said smugly. Ever since the last monthly exam, Maria and the wealthy heiresses including Liliana were thoroughly convinced by the tutoring teacher, Heavenly King.
Maria thought that Teacher Heavenly King was so outstanding and always praised them, unlike other teachers, so they were too embarrassed to ruin his reputation.
Lately, besides attending classes, they would go to Liliana’s house for tutoring. Even the previously most mischievous Liliana was being very obedient.
This change made the parents overjoyed.
Maria looked at Carlos again while talking,
"Brother, you have to work hard too, don’t let my sister-in-law get taken away."
Emily was taken aback; it was the first time she heard Maria call her sister-in-law.
Actually, Maria’s opinion of Emily had already changed ever since Emily had unhesitatingly helped rescue Liliana last time.
She just felt awkward because she had been so harsh on Emily before.
After saying this, Maria blushed and got into the taxi, waving at the two outside the window as the car drove away.
"Did Maria take the wrong medicine or something?"
Carlos found it hard to believe how quickly his sister had changed.
"That’s because you don’t understand her enough.
Maria is actually a child with great potential."
Carlos glanced at Emily beside him, feeling like she was talking with the tone of a teacher.
"After a busy day, you’re probably tired too.
Let the driver take you home first."
As soon as Maria left, the smile on Carlos’s face disappeared.
He had the driver take Emily directly home; he wasn’t planning to return to the villa tonight.
The words he heard earlier at the hospital lingered in Carlos’s mind.
Feeling frustrated, he called a car and went to the club that he and Faye often visited.
When Faye pushed the door open and came in, Carlos was the only person sitting in the room.
There were already five or six empty bottles of foreign liquor in front of Master Carter.
"Sit down and drink with me."
Carlos tossed him a glass.
"Isn’t today Carter Automotive’s new car launch?
Why are you here drinking alone? Shouldn’t you be celebrating with the people from the car factory?
Your Carter Automotive has hit it big this time.
Aren’t you afraid of being recognized as Master Carter?
By the way, your new car is really a hit this time.
I have a few distant relatives asking me if they can get the car earlier from you."
Faye also watched the TV broadcast, and Carlos’s decisive way of turning the tables left him amazed.
"Don’t mention it, because of this, I almost ended up harming my grandfather."
Carlos hung his head low, the dim light casting shadows on his face, emanating an aura of danger and desolation.
After hearing Carlos out, Faye patted his good friend’s shoulder,
"It’s not your fault, blame it on the hospital.
But my goddess is a real goddess, to know an expert like Master Lowe."
Mentioning Emily, the gloom in Carlos’s eyes deepened.
"Master Carter, you’ve never told me how you ended up with my goddess?
Didn’t you say before that you were not satisfied with the blind date?" The most update n0vels are published on NoveIＦire.net
If I say Emily is a scheming woman, you probably wouldn’t believe it.
She drugged my cola and slept with me."
The thought of himself being Adam Willow’s improvement made Carlos fume inwardly.
"What? Master Carter, are you not drunk? Are you sure it was my goddess who drugged you and not you who drugged her?"
Faye was just taking a sip of his drink, and on hearing this, nearly spat it out.
