Chapter 246 – Can’t Even Protect the Woman He Likes
Tess Baker lowered her eyes; Bowen Carter wouldn’t help her, and those two bodyguards of hers might not be able to protect her all the time; she’d have to turn to the police.
But before calling the police, she had to do one thing first, “Thank you for the reminder, I’ll go back and read the information about the project and get back to you by 12 noon tomorrow at the latest.”
She had to go to the Carter family’s old house first and get the potted plant back!
“Someone is following you, just to be on the safe side, I’d better take you back.” Dennis Gate frowned lightly, those two people stalking techniques are very skilled, if not by chance, he could not see that the two people are following Tess Baker!
Tess Baker straightened her scarf without lifting her head, “No need, it’s time for the Bowen Carter’s to give the seniors a hard time again if they see them.”
People come and go here, those two can’t make a move on her, and when she gets to the Carter family’s old house, she won’t have to worry!
Dennis Gate hmmm’d, his face unchanged, but the hands gripping the steering wheel were white at the fingertips from the exertion.
He can t even protect the woman he likes, and he has to use the woman he likes, and the woman he doesn t like to join forces to borrow power … He has become the appearance he hates the most!

Tess Baker took a taxi to the old the Carter family house, but the cab was stopped by the gatekeeper almost seven kilometers away.
This is a wealthy residential area, and only cars registered at the gate are allowed in.
Tess Baker had no choice but to get out of the car.
When she closed the door and stepped back, she just saw a black car coming from more than a kilometer away, and most coincidentally, that car was turning around just like the cab!
There’s only one road here, and there’s no way that car could have gone the wrong way, so it would have to be whoever was following her!
Tess Baker hurriedly took out her cell phone and took a picture of the car, but the car was going so fast that the pictures were blurry and she couldn’t make out the license plate number!
“Brother, is there a camera nearby? Can you let me see the surveillance video?” She turned around and anxiously asked the door guard. As long as the license plate number is captured, the police will be able to find out the two people who followed her based on the license plate number!
The door guard, “There are cameras here, but I’m sorry, you don’t have access to the surveillance video.”
“It’s good to have a camera.” Tess Baker called the little guy and asked him to arrange for a car to come pick her up.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Ten minutes or so later, she arrived at the Carter family’s old house, got someone to ask for the surveillance video at the gatehouse, took the potted plant and prepared to go back.
She had to catch up on the project information, and she had to reply to her seniors tomorrow!
But Carter senior called out to her, “Tess, that’s a nice cactus you’re holding, so leave it here.”
“!” Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled as she licked her dry lips and a chill ran down her back. Had the old man really taken a liking to this mediocre-looking potted plant, or had he heard something?
Elder Carter raised his eyebrows, his cane heaved on the ground, “the Gate family kid sent you, couldn’t let go of it?”
“You are mistaken.” Tess Baker’s mind raced as she carefully said, “The potted plant was the right one that the seniors gave me.”
Elder Carter’s face was blue.
Tess Baker continued, “But I didn’t part with it. I’ve heard that cactus balls absorb computer radiation and wanted to give this one to Bowen Carter, so if you want it too, I can buy another one for you.”
She said it with sincerity.
Elder Carter stared at her intently and did not answer the question.
Tess Baker smiled and locked eyes with him, but the muscles at the corners of her mouth stiffened, her heart unsure. What she’d just said was seven parts true and three parts false, and she wondered if the old man believed it!
“Uncle Gate has always known about Mommy not dying in the crash, if Mommy liked Uncle Gate, she would have been with Uncle Gate long ago, where would Daddy be? Tai grandpa, do you think I’m right?” The little guy pounced in front of the old man, his big eyes blinking and blinking.
His great-grandson was right in everything he said, and Carter senior rubbed his little head lovingly, but was still a little upset with Tess Baker, “Stay away from THE Gate family kid from now on!”
Tess is married to Mike and is still entangled with other women, it would be a shame for them the Carter family to spread the word!
“Grandpa doesn’t like it, so I’ll try to hang out with this friend as little as possible.” Tess Baker breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with deliberate emphasis on the word friend.
The Carter family is the Carter family daughter-in-law, think about the Carter family before you do something. if it comes out that you are not getting along with other men again, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
“Uh-huh.” Tess Baker bowed her head, hiding the anger in her eyes, and her voice was calm, “So does Grandpa know about Bowen Carter’s flings with other women?”
The little one is secretly anxious, what stupid things did the scum daddy do again, so that the mommy misunderstood!
“Mike has a sense of proportion and will not let those women carry the Carter family bloodline, only you are qualified to give birth to the Carter family’s children!” The old man is already impatient, which man in the luxury family does not have a lover?
Tess Baker clenched her lips, measured? What about Wendy Summer’s pregnancy?
“No go, there is still something?” The old man really doesn’t understand, his grandson-in-law is usually quite shrewd, how come she starts to be petty when she encounters such things?
The little guy was pouting in the old man’s arms, “Tai grandpa, why are you so mean to mommy? Is it because I didn’t do a good job that you’re being mean to mommy?”
“You’re looking at it the wrong way, I’m not being mean to your mommy, and I don’t think my great grandson is doing a bad job.” The old man rushed to comfort him, then pulled a smile worse than a cry at Tess Baker, “Does Tess want to stay for dinner?”
“No, thanks Grandpa.” The old man was close to having ‘you’re not welcome’ written in big letters on his face, and Tess Baker wasn’t going to make a fool of herself.
She went up and stroked the little guy’s head, then knelt down and kissed him, “I’ll see you in a couple days.”
The old man was good to him, she didn’t have to worry about him suffering here.
“Mmm.” The little one kissed her back and reluctantly let go, “Bye mommy!”
…
The Carter Group headquarters, Office of the President.
Bowen Carter sat at his desk, buried in paperwork, a cup of coffee at the bottom next to him, his whole body exuding an air of displeasure.
ASSISTANT walked to the table and said carefully, “President, you dealt with paperwork all night yesterday and had a few meetings in the morning, would you like to take a break?”
He has also been running all day and night, so sleepy!
But the president is still working, how can he go on a break?
“Grind a cup of coffee.” Bowen Carter said coldly without even looking up.
Assistant resisted the urge to yawn, picked up his mug, and went to grind the coffee. While the coffee was being ground, he yawned and tears came to his eyes.
No need to ask him to know, the president must be with Mrs. quarrel again! Hey, when the immortals fight, he, the mortal, suffers!
Assistant grounded the coffee and gently placed it on the president’s desk, “President, the person who is stalking madam has landed.”
Bowen Carter put down the file, his bloodshot eyes fixed on him.
