Chapter 358 – Putting All the Blame on Me
“You’re also chastised if you don’t fulfill the old man’s mission, and I remember Bowen Carter listening to the old man.” Tess Baker said.
Seeing the driver falter, she continued, “You take a cab back to Beauty Garden, I’ll drive there myself, and then you can put all the blame on me, and Bowen Carter won’t blame you.”
The driver finally compromised by pulling over and getting out of the car.
Tess Baker got in the driver’s seat and drove to The Carter Group, where a large crowd was already gathered in front of the door when she arrived.
She got out of the car, and before she could see her mom, she heard her yelling and screaming –
“I’ve raised her for twenty-nine years, and she crippled her underage own brother and threw him out of the house!”
“There was nothing wrong with my son’s leg, as long as he had the money for an operation he could get back on his feet, but my daughter and my son-in-law wouldn’t give me a penny, causing my son to become a disabled person at only fourteen years old!”
“Aigoo my poor son, you say how come you are so miserable, being broken by your own sister and brother-in-law, what kind of sin did our family create?”
“Tess Baker, my son came to your house to wash dishes and cook just for a bite of food, and you instructed the maid to beat my son and threw my son out and sent him to jail, how in heaven’s name do you have a sister like you?”
Onlookers took video on their cell phones, chattering and talking about how the rich are unkind and Tess Baker is too heartless type of thing.
“Excuse me, please.” Tess Baker stepped to the back of the crowd.
The man standing in front of her slanted a glance at her, “All the people watching want a good seat, you came late so stand at the back!”
A pregnant woman with a big belly, what’s the point of fooling around?
“I’m Tess Baker, please move over.” Tess Baker repeated, only adding four more words.
The man was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and gave way to the side white, “You’re the one who crippled your own brother and didn’t care, huh? Do people like you have any humanity at all?”
Tess Baker ignored him, saying the same thing all the way to the very center of the crowd, amidst the jeers and accusations.
She scanned the floor, where her mother sat with a one-square-meter piece of paper next to her, with all of Tess Baker’s evil deeds written in black and white.
“Married into a rich family and stopped recognizing her own parents”, “Falsely accused her own brother of going to jail”, “Crippled her own brother, didn’t pay a penny of medical bills and caused her brother to have his leg amputated” …
As many as a dozen.
Aside from the Baker’s mother, there were a few employees of The Carter Group, but the person Tess Baker was looking for wasn’t here. She was a little disappointed, but thought it was reasonable; how could he, the president of a large group, have time to deal with such a trivial matter?
“Look, everyone, it’s Tess Baker, that inhuman little bastard! She knocked her brother into a handicap and sent him to jail instead. Once she saw Tess Baker, the Baker’s mother jumped up and slapped her legs.
She was counting on her son to make more money with Tess Baker, and this little savage turned out to be the one who sent her son to jail!
That’s so hard!
The crowd was pointing fingers at Tess Baker, thinking they’d seen it all–
“My neighbor’s son is the same as this woman, directly into a rich man’s family as a son-in-law, parents do not recognize, his mother died for more than a month before being found, the body are maggots ah!”
“The Carter Group is so rich that she could have treated her brother with any amount of money, yet she saw her brother become a cripple, how cruel! Her brother is only 14 years old, what will he do in the future?”
“Post her on the internet for all to see! People like that deserve to have eggs thrown at them everywhere they go!”
“Don’t you just have two dollars, don’t you even have a conscience!”
Tess Baker had been pointed at and scolded like this countless times, but at this moment, when she heard their comments, she still couldn’t stop blushing.
She was about to speak when Bowen Carter’s cool voice came through the crowd, “Anyone who doesn’t want a lawyer’s letter, shut up!”
Tess Baker’s heart leapt with joy, and she subconsciously looked toward the place where the sound had come from.
Even in the huge crowd, Bowen Carter is still a special presence, the crowd automatically gave him a way, he passed through the crowd expressionless, like a god looking down on earth.
He walked all the way up to her and swept her a cold glance, “Who sent you here?”
It was because he was afraid that she would be falsely accused by her mother in public again that he had asked the driver to take her back, but she had come anyway!
“I want to come here by myself, it has nothing to do with others.” When she didn’t see him, Tess Baker seemed to be fiendishly wanting to see him, but when she really saw him, she couldn’t wait to find a place to hide … because of guilt.
Bowen Carter didn’t dwell on the issue with her and turned around, sweeping his somber gaze over the crowd.
The crowd that had just been commenting on Tess Baker instantly quieted down, and everyone whose eyes were swept by him unconsciously avoided his gaze and hung their heads.
the Baker’s mother was afraid in her heart, but she was more afraid that her son wouldn’t get out of jail and that Tess Baker and Bowen Carter wouldn’t pay.
She also did not jump and curse, a butt sat on the ground and began to sell misery, “Aigoo my poor son ah, only fourteen years old was knocked into a cripple, but also sent to the prison, how can he live the rest of his life ah?”
She shouted as she looked in the direction of Bowen Carter and Tess Baker, weren’t they ashamed of themselves with so many people watching them? Why haven’t they said anything about paying her back?
“God, I’ve been laid off, my family’s salary is only two thousand dollars a month, and my son is in jail, how can we live this life?” She is familiar with selling misery, crying tears and snot are flowing out, looks extra sad.
Tess Baker watched coldly, knowing that her mom was asking for money in disguise, but she was definitely not going to bring it up voluntarily this time!
“Daughter, son-in-law, you have such a big group of companies that you have enough money showing through your fingers to spend on us! I can overlook the fact that you guys broke Staphen’s leg, but can’t you at least release him from jail?”
“Oh, and he can’t make any money now that he’s disabled, so you guys have to come up with 100, 000 bucks a month, right?”
The Baker’s mother had done some serious math, and asking for five or ten million dollars at a time wasn’t as good as asking for a hundred thousand dollars a month. It’s a bit shabby, but it should be enough for her and Staphen to get by on a tight schedule!
“Mom knows in her heart why Staphen Baker is in jail and why her leg is like that.” Tess Baker frowned as she explained that it was a bad influence on The Carter Group for Mom to make a scene in front of so many people!
the Baker’s mother howled and shouted even louder, “Of course I know that you resent the fact that Staphen eats from your family and uses your family’s money, so you send him to prison as a liability! How can you be such a bully when the man you married, rich as he is, is still my daughter?”
Tess Baker had a hard look on her face; her mom always had a way of refreshing her perception of shamelessness!
She licked her dry lips and was about to speak when Bowen Carter twisted his head to look at her, “Just a little longer.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
