Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“The president is in a meeting, it’s not convenient, give me your cell phone, I’ll forward it to the president.” Secretary Wang said.

Tess Baker wasn’t being unreasonable, and since Bowen Carter was in a meeting, she’d just give her cell phone to Secretary Wang.

But just as she pulled her cell phone out of her bag, the door to the president’s office opened and Bowen Carter walked out first, ASSISTANT following him.

The smile on Secretary Wang’s face froze with some embarrassment.

Tess Baker had mixed feelings, she knew that she had gone overboard with the whole bug thing, and that many people would be defensive and distrustful of her. But when this really happened, she still felt bitter in her heart.

Secretary Wang, “Ma’am, this …”

“You don’t have to say anything, I get it, I’m to blame.” Tess Baker crossed over to her and walked over to Bowen Carter, handing him his cell phone, “Do you want … to join us for lunch?”

Before the words were out of her mouth, Bowen Carter had caught the phone and left without even looking at her.

Tess Baker’s hand handing her cell phone still hangs in midair, her eyes bleary.

“You’re divorced from the president and have no ties to The Carter Group, so it’s probably best not to come back.” Assistant gave her a look and left after Bowen Carter.

Several people from the secretary’s office came out and greeted Secretary Wang with smiles, but none of them looked at Tess Baker. one or two of them looked at her with disgust in their eyes.

“Being a mole and still daring to come to the company, I’ve never seen such a brazen person!”

“If she likes that THE Gate, go find THE Gate, what’s the point of pestering the president?”

A few people walked toward the elevator, but the sound of talking carried through the air to Tess Baker’s ears. She kept her head down, the moment more guilty than just embarrassed.

In what mood did Bowen Carter take the fall for her when she did something so wrong?

“Madam, you’d better go back.” Secretary Wang said.

Tess Baker had no reason to stay any longer and nodded and left The Carter Group.

“Tess Baker!” the stretch Lincoln a meter or so away from her lowered its window to reveal Carter’s mother’s grim face. Beside her, Lucy Kid wore a light smile on her face.

…

In the café.

The aroma of coffee was stained on the notes of light music, and spread to every corner of the cafe along with the music. Guests in twos and threes sipped their coffee and talked in a cozy manner.

But at the table in the southeast corner, the atmosphere was a bit saber-rattling.

“Tess Baker, let’s open up and talk, what is it going to take for you to leave Mike alone?” Carter’s mother, who considered herself to be extremely well-bred, was unable to face Tess Baker in a calm manner at this point.

Tess Baker, “I just want to stay with Bowen Carter and spend the rest of my life making up for the mistakes I’ve made this time.”

“Pfft!” Lucy Kid laughed, “Do you want to spend the rest of your life making up for the mistakes you made this time, or do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting for Mr. Gu’s best interests?”

Hearing this, Carter’s mother’s face became even more ugly, she put her coffee on the table with a thud and ignored it when it spilled on her, “Three words, no way! As long as I’m Mike’s mom, you can just die being my daughter-in-law!”

Tess Baker frowned, her right hand clenching the corner of her coat.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She’d said she and the senior weren’t lovers, why didn’t they believe her?

“Auntie, calm down.” Lucy Kid lightly patted Carter’s mother’s back and said unhurriedly, “I think there are some things that you can’t explain to Miss Baker, why don’t you ask her to take the household register, ID card, and the divorce agreement, and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate.”

“Can she go over there alone?” Carter’s mother was clearly moved by the offer.

Lucy Kid smiled, “One of my good sisters just happens to be there and could help.”

Hearing this, a thin layer of sweat rose on Tess Baker’s hands as she stood up hastily, “I have something to do, so I’ll go first.”

She doesn’t want a divorce decree!

“Stop her.” Carter’s mother took a paper towel and wiped the coffee stain from her shirt, not getting it off, but in a good mood.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tess Baker left and right.

“It’s against the law for you to do that!” Tess Baker struggled a few times, but the bodyguards were too strong for her to break free.

Carter’s mother grunted disdainfully, “You’re also breaking the law by putting a bug in Mike’s office and costing The Carter Group billions! Take her away!”

There were still quite a few customers in the cafe, and once they saw this scene, most of them left. Only one or two customers were left sitting in the corner, using a book as a cover to videotape the scene.

Tess Baker ended up being taken to the civil court on a mandatory basis.

There was a long line of people getting divorced and married, and she thought the line could be delayed a bit, but Lucy Kid’s said good sister came over and took a few people straight to an office.

“Miss Baker, please sign here.” The Civil Affairs Bureau staff handed over a document and said with a smile.

Tess Baker clenched her hands tightly, anger flowing under her eyes, “What if I say no?”

If Bowen Carter insisted on divorcing her, she would only feel helpless. But when she was escorted to the civil court for a divorce like this by her mother-in-law, she felt nothing but anger!

“If you don’t sign the papers, you’ll never see your two children after the divorce!” Carter’s mother was determined that Tess Baker and Mike had to be divorced.

With Tess Baker around, their entire THE Carter family is not right to be at peace!

Tess Baker took a quick scan of the office, two bodyguards, her mother-in-law, Wendy Summer, and two staff members from the Civil Service, plus the chair table and a couple of potted plants.

“No need to look, you can’t get away!” Carter’s mother looked at her coldly.

Tess Baker didn’t say anything back, just violently pushed away the two bodyguards who had grabbed her, picked up a potted plant and slammed it to the ground, quickly picking up a shard of ceramic and placing it against her neck.

“What do you want?” Carter’s mother stood up with an ugly look on her face.

Tess Baker backed into the corner and pressed the ceramic shards a little harder, “If Bowen Carter says get divorce papers, I’ll agree, but you don’t make me.”

“Do you really think you can force me by killing yourself?” Carter’s mother gasped in exasperation, what had she done in her past life to have such a terrible daughter-in-law as Tess Baker?

Tess Baker is bleeding from her neck but is smiling on her face, “I’m not narcissistic enough for that. But don’t you care about me or the baby in my belly?”

She wouldn’t be crazy enough to actually kill herself to force her mother-in-law to do it, she’s just taking a gamble right now on the weight of this child in her mother-in-law’s heart!

If her mother-in-law really didn’t care, then she would have had to get a marriage license, as her mother-in-law had requested.

But the child clearly weighs heavily on Carter’s mother’s mind, and she hesitates, relief evident on her face.

Tess Baker’s eyes glazed over with a smile and she was about to say something when the door was suddenly kicked in from the outside with a bang.

Bowen Carter stood in the doorway gasping for breath, sweat dripping down his angular, handsome face, and his always-straight suit looking a little disheveled from all the running.

“Do you seek death, Tess Baker?” he asked, squeezing the words from his throat as his hawkish gaze locked on the blood on Tess Baker’s neck.
