Chapter 738Chapter 738
Faye received a call from the police saying that Carter had fought with someone and was brought to
the police station. Her first thought was that it was a scam call. After that, she thought that someone
was joking with her. Only a moment later did she feel angry.
When she hurriedly showed up at the police station and saw that Jennifer was also there, Faye didn't
need to rack her brain to figure out what was going on.
As Faye stared at Jennifer, her hand, which was holding her bag, trembled slightly. Back then, I went
out of my way to drive Amelia away. I didn't expect another woman who may ruin my son's career to
show up today. These vixens are eager to destroy my son's life.
Within a few steps, Faye had thought about all the ways she could vanquish Jennifer.
Faye swiftly texted Nina, asking her to come to the police station as soon as possible.
After successfully sending Nina the text message, Faye strode over and scrutinized the wounds on
Carter's face. Her heart ached for her son.
“What happened to you?” Faye asked.
Carter turned his face to the side, saying, “Mom, I'm fine.”
“You're battered and bruised. How are you fine? When you were a child, you had always been a model
student showered with praises by your teachers. Yet, you get into a fight with other people when you'renow an adult. You're a CEO. If this gets out, it'll affect your reputation,” Faye rebuked, feeling
exasperated and sorry for her son at the same time.
Carter's patience was running low.
Jennifer approached the two and said, “Mrs. Scott, this is all my fault. I'm willing to pay for all of Carter's
medical bills.”
There was a hint of malice in Faye's gaze as she looked at Jennifer, but it disappeared in a flash. Faye
forced a smile and replied, “Oh, you're here too, Jennifer. I was only worried about Carter just now, so I
didn't notice you were here as well. Did Carter get into a brawl because of you?”
Jennifer hesitated, not knowing how to reply to Faye.
“Mom, this has nothing to do with Jennifer. It's just that I've been finding someone annoying for a long
time,” Carter said.
June sauntered over and wrapped his arm around Jennifer's waist, showing his possessiveness over
her. “Mrs. Scott, nice to meet you. I'm June. This is my business card. Jennifer is now my woman. I
hope you can ask Mr. Scott not to pester Jennifer anymore.”
Faye merely glanced at the business card and did not reach out to take it. She recognized that June
was the man in the video clip.
Faye disliked June to the bone, so she didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with a hypocrite like him.
“Jennifer, you're dating him?” Faye stared at Jennifer like a snake. Although the former seemed gentleon the outside, the look in her eye showed that Jennifer was like a nugatory, broken vase to her.
Jennifer wanted to struggle out of June's embrace, but he whispered in her ear, “Do you want to get
Carter's hopes up again?”
Upon hearing that, Jennifer relented.
“Mrs. Scott, my video with him is all over the internet. Since we've done the deed, it's obvious what our
relationship is. But we were secretly filmed, and the video was uploaded online without our consent.
Mrs. Scott, you will give us your best wishes, won't you?” Jennifer put on a courteous smile on her
face.
It was only then that the malicious glint in Faye's eyes abated.
“Both of you are a match made in heaven. It's a pity that Carter didn't cherish a wonderful girl like you.
But I still treat you like my own daughter.” Faye continued putting on an act, lying through her teeth.
Vexed, Carter clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, “Mom, stop it. They're not even suited
for each other.”
“How so? Jennifer pursued you for two years, and yet you didn't accept her. Now that she has a new
boyfriend, you say that they're not a good match. Carter, as your mother, I've long taught you to be
open-minded and forgiving. A man shouldn't be petty,” Faye said, suppressing her anger.
Just as Carter was about to part his lips, Faye's attorney came over with the police, saying that the
procedures were settled, so everyone could leave now. June didn't continue to pursue the matterbecause of Jennifer's plea.
However, June and Carter were officially sworn enemies from now onward. After all, no man would like
their woman to be coveted by another man even though June had absolutely no feelings for Jennifer, a
woman whom he only had a partnership with.
Nonetheless, June was as happy as a clam upon seeing the defeated look on Carter's face.
After taking a deep breath to stop herself from losing her temper, Faye said, “Let's go, Carter. We
shouldn't bother Jennifer and her boyfriend anymore. They're dating, yet you butted in and beat
someone up. You're really a troublemaker.”
Unbudging, Carter only had his eyes fixed on Jennifer as he knitted his brows. No one knew what was
on his mind.
“Carter, let's go.” Faye spoke again, stressing each and every word.
Carter finally snapped out of his daze and retracted his gaze. “Mom, you can go home first. I still have
something else to do.”
“I will go back to the office with you. I promise I won't disturb you while you work,” Faye insisted.
With that, Carter strode out of the police station first and bumped into Nina.
When he saw Nina's beautiful, fairy-like appearance, his eyes glimmered for a split second before a
calm look filled his eyes again. “Carter, it's been a while. I didn't expect us to meet again in front of the police station. This way of
meeting is very unique. I quite like it,” Nina greeted in a gentle tone.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Carter's face. It was embarrassing for an adult to be brought
to the police station for beating someone up.
“Nina, why are you here?”
“I predicted the future using astrology and saw that something bad would happen to you today, so I
purposely came to the police station to check if you were here. Well, what a coincidence,” Nina
answered cheekily. “Would you believe me if I put it this way?”
Carter's lips curled slightly as he smiled wryly. “Don't spout nonsense like that next time. Otherwise,
other people might take you as a scammer pretending to be a sorcerer.”
Nina bobbed her head docilely.
Just then, Faye and Jennifer came out together. Upon seeing Nina, Faye gave her a warm grin. “Nina,
you're here. Why didn't you bring an umbrella with you? Your fair, delicate skin might get sunburned.”
“Mrs. Scott, it's fine. It's not so sunny today. Besides, I don't get tanned easily. Don't worry.”
“What a good girl.”
The longer Faye looked at Nina, the more satisfied the former was with the young lady. To Faye's eyes,
Nina was well-behaved, beautiful, sensible, and gentle, meeting each and every criterion Faye set for
her daughter-in-law. “Take Carter's hand. We're leaving,” Faye said smilingly.
Nina shook her head, then walked toward Jennifer. “Ms. Larson, we meet again. Is this your
boyfriend?”
Jennifer gazed at Nina with a complicated look as she replied awkwardly, “Yes.”
“He doesn't deserve you. I'd suggest you find yourself another guy,” Nina said bluntly, glancing at June
with disgust.
Jennifer didn't expect that Nina would be so uncompromisingly forthright. She thought a beautiful and
well-mannered girl like Nina would never criticize a person. I guess I was wrong.
“Gorgeous, why did you say I don't deserve Jennifer?” June asked, looking at Nina with interest. He
had never met such a good-looking beauty before. Nina seemed as delicate as a doll, and her skin was
even fairer than ordinary women.
Nina scowled. “You're promiscuous, and your body may look strong, but it's actually weak because of
your licentious behavior. That's why you and Jennifer are not a good match.”
“Oh, so you study medicine. Perhaps you can prescribe some medications for me in the near future?”
“You're lecherous.”
Nobody expected that Nina would attack him until a crisp sound brought everyone back to their senses. “How dare you hit me!” June's expression darkened.
“I don't like people disrespecting me. Giving you a slap is just a light punishment. If I see you leering at
me again, I'll break your legs,” Nina huffed.
After June's fury dissipated, he suddenly let out a chuckle.
“Gorgeous, you're really an interesting one. You look soft and pretty on the outside, and you even
speak gently. I never would have thought that you were actually hot-tempered.”
“I only get mad at a lecher like you,” Nina snapped.
After Faye calmed her nerves, she piped up, “Nina, come here. We have to go.”
In an instant, Nina turned back to her docile self. She walked over to Faye and said, “Mrs. Scott, let's
go.”
Faye nodded in response. As she walked away from the police station, she advised diligently, “Nina,
you shouldn't have acted so impulsively. If you hit other people, they might fly into a rage and beat you
to a pulp. You're so tiny; you won't be able to bear the battering.”
“Mrs. Scott, don't worry. I've learned different kinds of martial arts since I was young. I even have a rank
higher than the black belt. I can handle ten ferocious brawny men on my own.”
Nina's shocking revelation caused Faye to stumble a little. I didn't realize the daughter-in-law of my
choice was actually a tough woman. Meanwhile, June stared at the retreating figure of Nina with a darkened gaze. “Who is that girl?” He
gritted his teeth.
Jennifer shot him a disdainful look. “Why? You want to retaliate just because she punched you?”
“Of course. I never suffer in silence.”
Snorting, Jennifer walked ahead and left him behind.
June's interest in Nina was piqued. He believed that he could conquer that fiery girl. Carter was
Amelia's friend, and the girl knew Carter. I'm going to disturb all Amelia's friends so that they'll be so
overwhelmed that they don't have the time and energy to protect others. When that happens, no one
can come to the aid of Clinton Corporations.
June seemed to have his plan mapped out, but never had he thought that the seemingly harmless Nina
would make him a miserable man one day.
Because of it, he would pay the price for his ego.
“Jennifer, wait for me,” June called out from behind.
“Don't follow me.”
“Jennifer, I've never encountered an ingrate like you. I was the one who helped you just now, ensuring
that the Scotts wouldn't pester you anymore. Just be my bedmate, and I won't treat you badly.”
“Get lost.” “Jennifer, you can't be like this. Don't forget that we had a fling before.”
Feeling ashamed, she walked even faster. She truly regretted having a sexual relationship with June,
but there was no use crying over spilled milk. Thus, she could only swallow her sorrow.
Dwelling on the past will just make other people think that I'm a loser.
