Chapter 427 – She’s Become So Shameless, Too
“And?” Elder Si asked.
Tess Baker, “Two, buy me a cell phone, get a good cell phone card, and give me a million dollars.”
She had nothing right now, a cell phone and money were a must, and she could certainly get Linda to set her up with those as well.
But Bowen Carter was too vigilant a man to know that she was missing, and he would surely have the Mark Family closely watched, and it would be too risky to have Linda prepare money for her.
The request wasn’t too much to ask, and Master Si agreed.
“One last condition.” Tess Baker paused before saying, “There’s a media outlet with a good reputation under the Si family name that I’m going to borrow for a while.”
She can’t power-bar Bowen Carter, and the only way to fight for Mike’s custody, or to get back at him, is to take a shot at public opinion.
As for leaving the country to live under a new identity, that was the next best thing, and she would never do that unless she had to.
What she could think of, Master Si could naturally think of as well, and he almost jumped up, “What are you trying to do with this media? Are you trying to use it against Master Carter, and still not let Master Carter know that it’s you who’s against him?”
Tess Baker didn’t deny it.
“Impossible!” Elder Si’s voice was a bit shrill due to excessive elevation, “You’re simply crazy, there’s no way I’m going to let you act so recklessly, you’re trying to get our Si family killed, you’re really crazy, out of your mind!”
He shouted so loudly that the people outside thought something had happened inside and pushed right through the door and rushed in.
Ben Si was standing right behind a couple of the servants and when he saw Tess Baker, his whole body broke down, “Grandpa, what’s going on?”
Elder Si then realized that his voice was too loud, and he sat down sardonically, not knowing how to explain.
“All of you go down.” Ben Si shooed the servants out before he pressed his voice and said, “Tess, I definitely don’t mean to dislike you, but isn’t it inappropriate for you to stay in our Si family now?”
What exactly was going on with Master Carter and Grandma Master Carter he didn’t know, but as of last night, everyone in their circle knew that Master Carter was going crazy looking for Grandma Master Carter.
He even joked with his buddies at the time that Grandma Master Carter must be hiding out at Dennis Gate’s place, and that THE Gate family would have to be peeled off this time.
Results … results Master Carter Grandma is actually in their division!!!!
Tess Baker sat still and just laughed with a sneer, “Now you don’t say I’m one of your Si family members too? You Si family members have become quite fast!”
“No … I don’t mean that, you don’t take it to heart what I just said without thinking.” Ben Si was worried that Tess Baker would get back together with Bowen Carter and spoke extra carefully, “It’s just that you’re also a member of Si’s family and you don’t want to see Si’s family being given a hard time by Master Carter for you, right?”
“I wasn’t born in the Si family, nor did I grow up in the Si family, what does it matter to me what happens to the Si family?” Tess Baker spread her hands indifferently, if it wasn’t for Master Si and Ben Si approaching her, she wouldn’t even know that she was Master Si’s granddaughter!
Listening to this, Ben Si was extraordinarily embarrassed.
“Alright, there’s no business for you, get out.” Elder Si had calmed down by this time and commanded.
Ben Si didn’t want to leave and wanted to say something else. But after being glared at by Master Si, he finally swallowed his words, gave Tess Baker a look, and left Master Si’s small dining room.
“Getting me out of there without offending Bowen Carter to find my little girl, I don’t even know if I should be touched for my mom.” Tess Baker doesn’t want to admit that she’s a little envious of her own mom.
I don’t know what kind of psychological work Elder Si had done for himself, he was now completely calm, “It’s not impossible for you to use that media, but you’ll have to wait until I sell that media to someone else.”
“I would like to know how this sale to someone else would work and how long it would take to complete.” Tess Baker said.
Elder Si’s fingertips snapped the table, “Selling me a right-hand man will at least explicitly disassociate you from the Si family, and it will be completed in whatever timeframe you want it to be completed in.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Yes.” Tess Baker agreed without much consideration, “There is one last condition, I will be staying at Si’s house for the near future, and I will decide when to leave.”
She didn’t want to ask for help from Linda before for fear of involving THE Mark Family, but now that the Si Family is taking the initiative to stick up for her, she can’t afford to waste this good opportunity!
Si old man’s old face red and white, white and green, like a palette of colors generally change back and forth, just do not say a word.
“You might want to talk to the Si family and tell them to keep my presence here a secret.” Tess Baker lifted her hair behind her ear, revealing her white earlobe, “Otherwise I’ll get taken by Bowen Carter and bite the dust that the Si family is helping me, and no one will be in a good position when that happens.”
She didn’t like to threaten people, but someone was always pushing her over the edge.
Maybe, she’ll turn out to be the person she hates the most.
“Yes!” The word was squeezed out of Master Si’s throat, “You can say the address now?”
“Sorry, not yet. Let’s wait for you to fulfill these things you promised me first, then I’ll tell you the address, and don’t be angry, I’m just being cautious. In case I tell you the address and you don’t keep your promise, who will I cry to then?”
Tess Baker never imagined that she would one day be so brazen as to threaten people in such an unlimited way, just with a little chip in her hand.
But there was no way out for her.
Since six years ago, maybe since she met Bowen Carter as Wendy Summer, she’s been pushed by him, a little bit.
The bottom of Si senior’s eyes crawled a little bit of blood, dead waiting for Tess Baker, tightly clutching the crutch fingers hard to white.
Tess Baker looked back at him, not flinching.
“Good!” Elder Si took a deep breath as if he had used up all his strength, “Worthy of being a member of our Si family!”
“So this is a yes from you?” A fine layer of sweat broke out on Tess Baker’s nose, her heart still in her throat.
Elder Si snorted coldly, his attitude was harsh, “If I don’t agree, there’s another way back?”
“Actually, there is.” Tess Baker picked up her spoon and took a sip of porridge, “You haven’t seen your little girl in decades anyway, it doesn’t matter if you don’t see her for the rest of your life.”
Elder Si’s gaze was like a knife, and his cane swung up, but he forced himself to put it back.
“Well then, good cooperation.” Tess Baker put down her spoon and extended a hand toward Master Si.
Elder Si just glanced at her hand, stood up, and said with a dark old face, “What are your requirements for a cell phone brand?”
“No requirements, you just watch and buy. By the way, you help me to do another bank card, one million dollars exist in it, it doesn’t matter who ID card is used to do it.” Tess Baker leaned on the back of the chair and said softly.
It was not easy to calm down the emotions of the Si old man’s anger surged, almost roaring out, “Why didn’t your mom get you killed back then?!”
