Chapter 99 Questions About The Past,Love You Enough to Leave You

Jessica collapsed onto her seat, exclaiming, “It’s all Ms. Larson’s fault! If she hadn’t joined the company, we wouldn’t have met with this misfortune.” The other employees in the design department had already submitted themselves to their fates. Once Carter left the office, he immediately got into his car and drove off to a certain neighborhood. It was the one in which Tiffany stayed. Carter parked his car. He sat inside, but the road was quiet outside. It was hard to tell if he was waiting for someone or if he had merely driven here by coincidence on a joyride. Carter remained in this position for nearly half the night. When he finally caught sight of a woman walking towards the entrance, Carter immediately leaped into action.

He got out of the car and dashed straight towards her. The woman was none other than Tiffany, carrying a rubbish bag and dressed casually in a t-shirt and flip-flops. She waved to the security guard on duty as she walked past him. However, she had only taken a few steps when she encountered the sight of Carter racing towards her. Tiffany stopped short in her tracks. She froze for a moment. Then she quickly recovered her wits and strode off hastily in the other direction. Carter quickened his pace and caught up with her. Fearing that she’d slip off, he grabbed hold of her arm. “Wait, Tiffany! I have something to ask you,” Carter had long since abandoned every thought of preserving his cool image in his great urgency.

This exchange had roused the security guard’s suspicions. He ran out from his post and eyed Carter with distaste, saying, “Ms. Winters, do you need my assistance?” Carter broke in. “She’s my friend.” Tiffany glared at Carter. However, she was unwilling to escalate the matter further. Tiffany thus replied the security guard, saying, “I’m fine, Mr. Langston. He’s my friend.” The security guard fixed his gaze on Carter as he said, “That’s fine, Ms. Winters. Just give me a yell anytime you need my help.” Tiffany nodded. After the security guard had returned to his post, Tiffany said scornfully, “Mr. Scott, you’re indeed a jinx. Even the security guard thinks that you’re a bad seed.” Carter looked thunderous. “Tiffany, I didn’t come here to be insulted. I came to explain the matter regarding Amelia.” Carter decided to get directly to the point.

“Carter, can’t you get it through your head that Amelia’s already married? Is there any use for you clinging onto her like this? If you still hadn’t managed to succeed all those years ago, what makes you think you’d have a better chance now?” Tiffany tried to wrench her arm from his grip, but Carter held fast. “Carter, what on earth are you trying to do? I live here. What will my neighbors think when they see you clinging onto me like this?” Tiffany decidedly did not want to be associated with Carter. He was handsome and eligible, and much like Oscar, turned heads wherever he went. It was impossible for anyone not to notice him. Tiffany was terrified that her neighbors would mistake him for her boyfriend or one of her suitors.

out of any genuine desire to rekindle their old friendship, to be sure. “Carter, you can say whatever you came to say right here. I don’t want to get into any trouble because of you. You’re a brilliant man, but you’re also very much a jinx. Nothing good will come out of meeting you.” It was impossible for Tiffany’s perception of Carter

akimbo and said impatiently, “Get to the point, Carter. My time is precious, and I don’t want to waste it here with you.” Carter glanced at her. “Tell me, Tiffany, was Amelia’s debt paid by Oscar four years ago?” Tiffany scoffed. “Carter, do you think it’s necessary to ask all this now? The Scotts were responsible for Amelia’s debt of a million four years ago. Where were you then? Amelia called

runs into you. So if you really love her, please don’t meet her again.” Carter clenched his fists, looking visibly perturbed. “I love Amelia. I’ll make it up to her in the future for all the hurt I’ve caused her. But you can’t expect

much; a man’s love is more than enough for us. Amelia has all she wants. I beg you, Mr. Scott, to go on and pursue whatever happiness you desire. Just don’t disrupt Amelia’s life,” Tiffany said. Carter’s heart ached. However, he said brusquely, “Oscar is keeping another woman on the side. How can you say that Amelia is happy?

She’d signed a series of rather unfair agreements, stating that even if Oscar cheated on her and had another child outside of wedlock, Amelia remained powerless to say no. She could only accept things as they were. “Tell me honestly, Tiffany. Is Oscar and Amelia’s marriage held together by some sort of contract?” Carter suddenly inquired. Tiffany was startled. How did he figure that

the two of them must have signed an agreement of sorts. As her closest friend, you’d definitely know something about it.” “Even if I knew something and told you about it, would you be able to change anything?” Tiffany challenged Carter. Carter looked up. There was a tinge of melancholy in his voice as he said, “I only wanted to know if she was happy. I couldn’t help disappearing all those years ago. Now that I have the ability to protect

Tiffany looked at him curiously. “Is it that much of a surprise to you?” “Did Amelia really like me before?” Carter repeated. Tiffany nodded. “Amelia liked you since you were in university. Or I should say had a crush on you, rather. I thought an intelligent guy like you would be able to tell when a
