- Chapter 8Terrence put his arm around Krista’s shoulders and led her
inside, his cold voice tinged with a hint of indifference. “She
doesn’t get to call the shots around here!”
Krista half–heartedly followed him in.
Eliza came up. Seeing Terrence with his arm around Krista, she looked kinda awkward.
Last night, when Terrence wanted Krista to stay over, Bethany got upset and didn’t come back all day. And now he was bringing her back again.
Terrence, not seeing Bethany, frowned and asked, “Isn’t Bethany back yet?”
Eliza shook her head.
“Did you call her?”
“Yes, but her phone was off.”
Krista asked Eliza, “Where is Emery’s room?”
“This way, please follow me.”
Chapter 8
Eliza, as the housekeeper, didn’t dare say anything about
Terrence’s business. She led Krista to Emery’s room.
Terrence walked out to the balcony and called Bethany.
Bethany had just lain down on the bed when Terrence’s name
popped up on her phone screen.
Her fingers tightened.
When Terrence heard the call go through, he felt a bit relieved.
The phone rang and rang, but no one picked up. It hung up by itself after a while.
For some reason, Terrence felt a bit uneasy.
Bethany never missed his calls.
No matter what she was doing, she would stop and answer his call.
But this time, she had been gone the whole day.
Krista came out of Emery’s room.
Terrence was on the balcony, staring at his phone with a gloomy look. She pursed her lips and walked over. When she got to him, she smiled, “Can’t you get in touch with Beth?”
