Chapter 425


    “Dad, were you helping Carson? I thought he had done it all himself. Why did you help him? I thought


    you hated him.”


    “You think I want to help you? I was helping you. You were adamant about marrying him even though


    he was poor. I can’t just let you live a life of poverty.” My father sighed. “I know your mother gave you


    money behind my back. I was going to forgive you, but after you asked your mom for money and a

    house, I hated Carson even more. You can’t depend on a guy who lives off a woman.”


    Wow, my dad could see right through anyone. He knew Carson was an asshole the first time he saw


    him. I should have listened to him, but it was toote to


    regrets.


    After a pause, my dad said, “But I can see he’s been treating you well since he got rich. He doesn’t


    evenin when you’re infertile so he’s not that bad I guess. But tell him about it. If anything


    happened to his stock, it would be disastrous.”


    “What will happen, father?”


    “At best, cash flow problems. Worst case scenario, bankruptcy and prison.”


    Jail time? Yes! This is what I want! “I will remind you, father. Don’t worry.”


    Yes, right, as if. I would never tell Carson about this. What promise? I didn’t make any promises. When


    we took a walk in the garden after dinner, my dad reminded me to tell Carson about his inventory


    problem again.


    Then my father realized what could happen. If something happened, Carson would be in trouble. Not


    wanting my dad to get suspicious, I went to my room and called Carson, but instead of telling him about


    the crisis, I told him I was going overseas.


    Carson was surprised. “This is really sudden.”


    “I also think. But Mr. Smith said he booked the ticket for me. I asked if anyone else coulde, but he


    said no. I really don’t want to go,” I said.


    he that.


    “Forget. Only do this once and tell him you’re quitting after you’re done. You’ve done more than enough


    to return his favor. No use working there if all it does is annoy you. We have enough living our lives


    “I’m not upset, honey. As for my resignation, let’s put that aside until I get back,” I replied.


    “OK dear. Be careful out there.” Carson told me to be safe before hanging up.


    I tossed my phone aside and headed to the bathroom with my clothes in hand. After the series of bad


    events that had taken ce, I wanted to ease my mind with a shower now that there was good news. I


    filled the tub with water and poured in some rose essential oil before soaking in it. Then I fell asleep. I


    woke up to the piercing cold all around me and dried off before heading outpletely changed. When


    I went to get my phone, I realized that Eric had called me several times.


    I wondered why he was calling me, and just as I was wondering if I should call him back, the phone


    rang. “Hello.” I answered.
