Chapter 426 – Where is she, man, where is she?
“Where’s Tess Baker?” There was something inexplicably unsettling in Bowen Carter’s mind.
The tall, thin man then responded and said, “Master Carter’s grandmother is inside, please follow me.”
The moment he opened the door, the man was surprised, “This … I watched with my own eyes Master Carter grandmother was locked up here, how is it gone?”
The three women inside looked at each other, and no one said anything.
“Where is she?” Bowen Carter clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, his eyes dead set on a spot of blood in the corner, his heart seemingly clogged with cotton.
Tess Baker has more heart at best, how can she compete with these guys in terms of heart and fists?
Tall and thin looked to a couple of the others, “What do you guys say, where’s Grandma Master Carter?”
“Who’s Grandma Master Carter? The one that just came in today?”
“That sis was called out a couple hours ago and hasn’t come back yet!”
“This Master Carter you’re talking about, Grandma Carter seemed to know someone was coming to see her, and as soon as the person came in, she went up and said something, and then the two of them left together.”
The three men looked calm, but their foreheads were sweating continuously and their eyes were a little wandering.
But Bowen Carter was thinking darkly and completely oblivious to their abnormality.
“Master Carter, I swear, we haven’t had any new people come in here lately!” The tall, thin man said with a look of sincerity.
“Where’s your boss?” Bowen Carter’s fists clenched, a storm approaching.
“Our boss was called over from above early this morning and hasn’t returned yet.”
“I’m looking for your boss.” Bowen Carter’s handsome face was grim, his entire body shrouded in a layer of anger.
…
Old man Si was anxious to ask for the address on Tess Baker’s papers, but he wasn’t quite ready to ask, and stayed up hard all night.
It was during dinner the next morning that he carefully asked, “Can you tell me the address on your ID card now?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Tess Baker put her bowl of porridge on the table and looked straight at Master Si.
Elder Si was embarrassed by her stare, smiled twice and said, “I’m not just looking for my daughter, I’m also looking for your real parents, you’ve been treated harshly by THE Baker Family people for so many years, you must miss your real parents, right?”
“Don’t want to.” Tess Baker blurted out an answer that took Master Si completely by surprise, “On the contrary, I hate them.”
After she learned she wasn’t THE Baker Family’s biological daughter, she secretly went to the police station to see if she could find her parents.
But her DNA doesn’t even match the DNA of the families who reported her missing, which means that her parents didn’t even file a case at the police station after her accident!
“Not wanting to be normal, but if you hate, it … would be a little too much, right?” Master Si’s smile was unnatural.
Tess Baker picked up the bowl of porridge and continued to drink it. Maybe because of the postpartum running around or other reasons, she always felt dizzy in the past two days, which should be due to low blood sugar.
“Tess, you don’t want them, probably because you haven’t experienced the love of your parents.” Elder Si was still trying to persuade her, “But finding your real parents will be different, they will treat you absolutely unconditionally.”
He paused, “On second thought, would it not be more appropriate for you to give me the address on your papers?”
Silence.
The only thing left on the table was the unintentional clashing of spoons and bowls making loud noises.
Elder Si was a person who placed extreme importance on table manners, normally this kind of quiet atmosphere would make him feel enjoyable, but today’s quietness made him feel tormented.
He is also a foot into the coffin board of people, this life should enjoy all enjoy, dying only one wish, is to see the most precious little daughter once again.
“It’s not impossible to tell you.” Tess Baker loosened up just as Master Si was about to relent, “But I have demands.”
Elder Si was overjoyed and quickly said, “As long as your demands are not excessive, I can agree to them all!”
“You agree to my terms first, or else,” the corner of Tess Baker’s mouth quirked up in a small, almost icy curve, “no deal.”
By saying that, she was admitting that the conditions were excessive.
Si old master has not been blackmailed by a junior like this for a long time, his face alternated between white and clear, ugly, “You … you are just one of my juniors!”
“Since you don’t want to make a deal with me, forget it.” Tess Baker smiled indifferently, “You can also go to Bowen Carter and see if he’ll tell you where I used to live.”
Four eyes met, and swords were drawn.
Elder Si’s hands gripped his chopsticks tightly, his cloudy eyes filled with anger.
Tess Baker smiled lightly at him, not flinching at all under the pressure of his aura. Speaking of which, she had Bowen Carter to thank for that; if he hadn’t had a cold face on her all day, she wouldn’t have been able to resist so well!
“Okay, you say it!” Just three words, but Elder Si said them with extra difficulty.
Tess Baker said so, and in her heart, she didn’t know what to expect, and at that moment, when she heard him agree, she was relieved, yet a little indescribably despondent.
Si old man this is mercenary a bit, selfish a bit, but to his daughter is really good …
“I’ve agreed to all your conditions, why don’t you say anything?!” Elder Si was so angry that his eyes turned red, he had never been toyed with by a junior so much!
Tess Baker shook off those jumbled thoughts and said seriously, “I don’t have many conditions: one, don’t leak my whereabouts, it won’t do you or me any good.”
Once Bowen Carter finds out she’s hiding here, she’s sure to be recaptured by him, and she doesn’t want to go back.
