45: Chapter 45: The Protective Mother-in-law and Husband 45: Chapter 45: The Protective Mother-in-law and Husband Carlos, having said that, casually took the tea offered by a servant.
Carter was somewhat taken aback.
Her son was actually this polite?
Was it because the other party was his mother-in-law and sister-in-law?
Parker and Sophie were visibly flattered.
Had Sophie not witnessed Carlos’s ruthlessness in her dream, she might really think the Carlos before her was someone else.
In the dream, Carlos never showed a hint of kindness to the Parker Family members.
“Young Master Carter is too courteous.
There’s no need for you to personally serve the tea.”
Parker smiled and reached out to take the tea.
Just as the teacup reached Mrs.
Parker, Carlos’s hand loosened.
The freshly brewed tea poured onto Mrs.
Parker cried out in pain; her hand turned as red as a boiled shrimp.
Young Master Carter, how could you be so careless.”
Sophie hurried to check her mother’s hand.
“Oh dear, my apologies.
It was accidental; my hand slipped.”
Carlos, after speaking, picked up another cup of tea.
With a swish, that cup of tea splashed onto Sophie’s face.
Sophie screamed; her face was instantly scalded red as a monkey’s butt.
Parker and Sophie both understood—Carlos did it on purpose!
Carter, look at what Young Master Carter has done to us.
Parker, not minding her own hand, hurried to check her daughter’s face.
Her daughter was supposed to become the ambassador for Capital’s image.
“Carlos, what you are doing is not right.”
Carter’s face turned stern.
Carter, you must take our side—mine and my daughter’s.”
Parker and Sophie wore faces full of indignation.
“Someone, throw these two backbiting fishwives out.”
Carter, sipping her tea nonchalantly, immediately issued an expulsion order.
Behind the screen, Emily Parker was taken aback.
Carlos also looked at his mother in surprise.
Carter was a well-known socialite in Capital, who never used foul language from her youth to maturity.
With faces flushed from Mrs.
Carter’s scolding, the Parkers were escorted by the Carter Family’s security guards and bundled out of Cloud Lake Villa.
“This is outrageous, the Carter Family is going too far.”
Parker and Sophie were thrown out, their hands and faces still burning hot.
They were unwilling to leave, wanting to argue with Mrs.
At that moment, a Mercedes RV pulled up at the entrance of Cloud Lake Villa.
The driver opened the door, and a man got out.
The man was well-groomed, not looking old at all, with a refined appearance.
Seeing this person, Sophie quickly tugged Mrs.
Parker, signaling her not to make a scene.
Sophie recognized him—he was Evan Palmer.
In her dream, Evan was Sophie’s father-in-law, and he was the only one in the Carter Family who was somewhat nice to her.
Carter was infuriated to death by Carlos, the Senior President Carter had also passed away, and the Carter Clan Group was leaderless.
However, Evan Palmer, this son-in-law, emerged as a powerful figure at that time.
He acted decisively, kicked Carlos out of the family, reorganized the Clan Group, rebranded it as the Palmer Clan, and brought back his biological son Adam and Amelia Willow, as well as his lover Grace Willow, to Cloud Lake Villa.
“This prospective father-in-law, I certainly cannot afford to offend.”
Parker stood aside, watching as Evan Palmer stepped out of the car.
Evan Palmer paid no attention to the Parker mother and daughter.
As he got out of the car, the driver helped with carrying several bags.
Evan Palmer instructed with a sentence,
“Deliver all these items to the second miss’s room.”
Parker glanced over, and in the driver’s hands were shopping bags filled with various designer clothes and Hermes bags, each item valuable in its own right.
They’re really lavish.
When he mentioned the second miss, could it be the sister of that Young Master Carter?”
Upon hearing this, Sophie Parker couldn’t help but snicker.
“Mom, what’s there to envy?
Just a few designer bags.
In the future, we will get even more.
You have no idea what ultimately happens to that second miss…”
Sophie Parker suddenly remembered something; she definitely couldn’t blurt everything out at this moment.
Carlos did have a sister, and she was Evan Palmer’s sister as well.
In the first twenty years of Second Miss Carter’s life, she truly was the apple of everyone’s eye.
She was poor in academics, had a premature love life, and even had an abortion, but Carlos and Mrs.
Carter had no clue about any of this.
After entering the Carter Family, Second Miss Carter always made things difficult for Sophie Parker and aimed to embarrass her.
Sophie Parker harbored intense hatred towards her as well.
Later, when Carlos was kicked out of the family and Mrs.
Carter died, although Second Miss Carter still stayed with the Carter Family, it wasn’t long before Adam Willow and his sister claimed their rightful heritage.
It was said that soon after, Second Miss Carter ran away from home.
By the time she was found again, she was said to have died on the streets, naked with needle marks all over her arms…
“So we’re just going to let Emily Parker’s matter slide?
She’s really going to compete with you?”
Parker wore a face full of concern.
She couldn’t understand how Mrs.
Carter could actually protect Emily Parker.
“Think it’s going to end like that?
Emily Parker doesn’t even qualify to participate in this city’s image ambassador selection.
Isn’t she just dating Carlos’s secretary?
That secretary must have spoken highly of her to the Carter Family for them to protect her.
But during the competition, I’ll expose her lack of qualifications.
By then, not only will Emily Parker lose her eligibility, but she will also be disgraced.
I’d like to see if she can still hold onto her job at People’s Hospital then.”
Sophie Parker was full of scheming thoughts.
Inside Cloud Lake Villa, after the Parker mother and daughter were driven out, the hall finally regained its tranquility.
“Mom, you truly enlightened me today, I’ve never seen you curse like that before,”
Carlos smiled and said.
Carter coughed lightly.
“You’ve never seen me when I was studying.
Your dad doesn’t like rude women, so I restrained myself.
But when someone says ill things about my daughter-in-law in front of me, of course, I will get angry.
As for you, you even resorted to violence against a woman for Emily Parker’s sake.”
Carter looked teasingly at her son.
She, who had been through it all, realized that her son felt differently about Emily Parker.
It’s just that her son was quite late to mature in the romance department, perhaps he hadn’t even noticed it himself.
Carlos cleared his throat.
“I wasn’t defending her, I was defending the mother of my child.”
Carlos only knew that when he heard Mrs.
Parker and Sophie Parker maligning Emily Parker, he became very angry.
Carter also smiled and looked towards the screen.
Emily Parker walked out from behind the screen.
Carter stood up and took Emily Parker’s hand to sit her down.
She touched Emily Parker’s face,
“Child, why didn’t you ever mention how badly the Parker Family treated you?” Content originally comes from novęlfire.net
A look of deep sympathy was on Mrs.
“I heard we had guests over?”
Just then, Evan Palmer walked in.
He handed his coat to the servant and turned around to see Emily Parker sitting together with Mrs.
Upon seeing Emily Parker, Evan Palmer looked somewhat displeased.
