Chapter 41- stronger
Charles also knew about Terrence’s relationship with Zoey, and that vulgar woman—he never really paid her any mind. Only Terrence treated her like a precious treasure in the palm of his hand, and Charles somewhat felt sorry for him.
Watching the two men with bloodshot eyes, Janet feared they might come to blows. Carefully, she stepped behind Charles and grabbed his arm.
"I won’t lose to you. Never..." Terrence shoved off Charles’s hold with effort and staggered toward the exit. Seeing this, Janet hurried after him, supporting him. She couldn’t bear to let him leave like this alone.
"What should we do? Should I call Elvira to come pick him up?" Janet looked back at Charles uncertainly. She didn’t want to go back to the Louis family again but couldn’t just leave Terrence like this.
Charles said nothing. Instead, he stepped forward and helped Terrence into his car. Janet dialed Elvira’s number. Elvira was clearly surprised to hear from her; Janet had never called anyone from the Louis family on her own before.
"I’m busy. Take him back yourself!" Elvira refused bluntly. She hated how Terrence favored Janet. Now that trouble had come, she didn’t care whether he was her brother or not.
"You..." Janet was caught off guard by Elvira’s refusal, struggling to catch her breath.
"Twenty minutes. I’ll wait for you at the Dark Night Bar," Charles said coldly as he took the phone from Janet’s hand. Hearing Charles’s voice, Elvira was already excitedly grabbing her car keys and rushing out.
Elvira arrived much faster than Charles expected. Seeing Terrence holding Janet’s hand, murmuring softly, annoyed him. Even knowing the man was her brother, it made him uncomfortable. Just like the day he saw her acting intimately with Manfred, he lost control and did something reckless to her!
