Chapter 420 – Where the Hell is Tess Baker?
Dennis Gate smiled and said with a natural demeanor, “I’m sorry Mr. Fang, Master Carter and I had a recent collaboration as well, it’s just that the secretary mixed things up, I’m really sorry.”
“Never mind, then … how about you talk to Master Carter first?” The middle-aged man was a bit dissatisfied with this, but he also didn’t want to make too much of a mess with Dennis Gate over this matter.
Dennis Gate was about to speak when Bowen Carter took a few steps in front of him and yanked him by the collar with both hands, his eyes spitting fire, “Where’s Tess Baker now?”
The middle-aged man had also heard about the two men competing for a woman, and seeing this, he did not linger any longer, said his farewells, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
The secretary gave a wink to the others in the conference room, signaling them to hurry out.
Those people gossiped, but they also knew what to look at and what not to look at, and one by one, they went out of the conference room nimbly, and the one who stayed at the end closed the door.
“Master Carter should know better than me where she is.” Dennis Gate’s eyes were a little forlorn, since the wiretap incident, Tess Baker’s relationship with him had faded, and he hadn’t met him alone for dinner again.
Bowen Carter tugged a little harder on his collar and gritted his teeth, “Where is she?!”
“She’s gone?” Dennis Gate asked rhetorically, “What happened? When did she disappear?”
Bang!
Bowen Carter slammed his fist into Dennis Gate’s face as he took off his suit jacket and rolled up one sleeve, revealing a small, smooth arm, “Don’t play dumb with me, where did you take her today?”
“I haven’t been out since I arrived at the office at eight o’clock in the morning, much less seen Tess Baker,” Dennis Gate asked eagerly as he pushed him out of the way, “Tess Baker should be well and truly at home right now on her monthly cycle, so how could she have suddenly disappeared? ”
“You think I’m going to believe you when you say that?” Bowen Carter tugged at his collar, his handsome face almost pressed against his, “I have limited patience, and you better tell me where Tess Baker is or you won’t be able to afford the consequences!”
No wonder Tess Baker loves Dennis Gate, both are good actors and the fake ones can be played like the real thing!
“And I’ll say it for the last time: I had nothing to do with Tess Baker disappearing, I have no idea where she is!” Dennis Gate said indifferently, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people at The Gate Group, and they can all attest that I was at the office all day today.”
Bowen Carter doesn’t believe it at all, “People in your company, naturally, will lie for you!”
“Well, if Master Carter still doesn’t believe me, I can have security bring up the security footage so you can see if I went out or not.” Dennis Gate said.
Bowen Carter stared straight at Dennis Gate and jerked him loose, “Good.”
Dennis Gate called security and told them to come over with a laptop and another copy of the security footage.
The video shows that Dennis Gate did enter the office at 8:00 and never went out again.
Bowen Carter held the mouse in his hand, and there was a moment of confusion and trepidation in his eyes.
Tess Baker isn’t here at Dennis Gate, so where could she be?
If Dennis Gate hadn’t taken her, why would the guys he set up lie to him?
Dennis Gate’s face hurt from his punch, but now was not the time to be counting on that, “What the hell happened to Tess Baker? When did she disappear? Where did she go? Did you call the police? Called her?”
Without a word, Bowen Carter let go of the mouse and strutted toward the conference room door.
“Master Carter, you haven’t told me what’s going on!” Dennis Gate yanked him from behind.
Bowen Carter broke his hand a little and grimaced, “It’s not your turn to care what happens to her!”
Bang!
At that moment, Linda Mark kicked the door open and ran in, panting. She braced her hands on her knees and gasped several times before asking with both eyes blazing, “Courts, police stations and prisons, Master Carter, where the hell did you get Tess?!”
She’d gone to see Cliff Ford, and all he knew was that Tess had been locked up and that the kids had been switched, and he hadn’t the slightest idea about today’s episode!
Cliff Ford ran in after, looking at her and Bowen Carter with a complicated expression, wanting to say something, but finally just standing quietly by.
Dennis Gate’s eyes were filled with confusion and concern, while Bowen Carter frowned and tightened his lips without saying a word.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Can you say something, where the hell is Tess?” Linda Mark all but wanted to rush up and punch someone, “You’re suing Tess when she’s still in the middle of her monthly cycle, do you want her to contract a disease during her monthly cycle and then wait for her to die in jail?!”
She should have stopped Tess when she first said the company was going to A City, then she wouldn’t be in this mess now!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Bowen Carter said, wrinkling his nose.
Linda Mark really can’t help it, walked up to him, tiptoed and yanked him by the collar, said through clenched teeth, “I heard it with my own ears, a lawyer surnamed Liu said that he was entrusted by you to prosecute Tess, how can you not know where Tess is?”
“Linda Mark, calm down.” Cliff Ford stepped forward and tried to yank her away, “If Carter did this, he’ll never deny it.”
“Get the fuck out of my way or I’ll beat someone up with you!” Linda Mark kicked Cliff Ford in the calf and reared her head squarely, her eyes crimson as she stared at Bowen Carter, “Go ahead, where’s Tess?!”
Tess is not in good health in the first place, what if this time, if it is so tortured, fall a bunch of diseases?
“Where did you hear that?” Bowen Carter asked without answering; he had a general idea of what was going on.
“What do you care where I heard it?” Linda Mark’s eyes were sore at the corners of her eyes, but she forced the tears down, “Master Carter I’m telling you, we, the Mark Family, are no match for you, the Carter family, but if Tess is going to be sick and in jail because of you, I’m not going to let you live with it, even if I have to fight to the death! I won’t let you live!”
She didn’t wait for Bowen Carter to answer and turned to Dennis Gate, “And you, if you’re any kind of a man, don’t put all the blame for the wiretap on Tess and take your share of the blame!”
With that, she let go of Bowen Carter’s collar and strutted out of the conference room.
Since Master Carter won’t say where Tess is, she’ll find out for herself, and she doesn’t believe she can’t find out!
Dennis Gate’s fists clenched, unclenched, unclenched, and then clenched again with a mixed heart.
“Linda Mark!” shouted Cliff Ford, but instead of stopping, Linda Mark cursed him and ran off.
He agonized for a moment, but finally stopped and asked, “Carter, are you really suing your sister-in-law?”
“I didn’t do it.” Bowen Carter said with a frown and exited the conference room as well, he was going to go back and ask the men what was going on!
He’s the one who puts out a paycheck to support them, and how dare they lie to him!
Most importantly, he had to find out where the hell they got Tess Baker!
