Chapter 487 Oh, I Forgot That You Don't Have a Wife

Gale Group. After dealing with the old men, Carter walked into the office as he instructed Luke, "Send someone to watch over Old Collins. I'm afraid he'll do something radical." "Yes, Boss." "By the way, has the customised wedding ring that I asked you to order arrived yet?" Luke answered, "It just arrived today. I've just put it on your desk." Carter nodded slightly, and Luke hesitated before saying, "By the way, Boss, Ms. Lane… Ms. Lane is here." Carter frowned slightly, "Ms. Lane? Which Ms. Lane?" "..." Luke was speechless. He murmured in his heart, 'It's the girl you'd been with before. Don’t you know her well?' "Tina Lane. She's in your office." Carter furrowed his eyebrows deeper, and his voice was a little cold, "Who allowed her to come in?" "Well..." Luke could not understand Carter. No matter how bad Tina was, she was still Carter's ex-girlfriend. She was even his first love, and Carter did not have much of a romantic history. Apart from Mrs. Gale whose name was lawfully on Boss’s residence registration booklet, it should be Ms. Lane who had the closest relationship with him, right? Luke subconsciously looked at Carter a few times. Carter pursed his thin lips, and his eyes looked very icy. "There won't be a next time. Only my wife can enter and leave my office freely. No one else has the privilege." "... Yes." The thing was that madam would not come to the Gale Group. ... Tina patiently waited for Carter in the president's office. That morning, she was pissed off by Helen in the Gale Family Mansion. Where did Helen get her confidence from? When Carter was with her, they always ate instant noodles and lived in a small rented house. He would give all his money to her. She did not believe that Carter would completely lose all his feelings for her in such a short period of three years. Carter was just using Helen to provoke her, wanting to make her angry and jealous. She walked over to the desk and saw a small and elegant black velvet box. She became interested and opened it. She found a diamond ring with a sophisticated refractive index and cut. The diamond on this ring looked valuable. It looked like a diamond from South Africa. Every woman liked jewelry, and Tina was no exception. Tina instantly put the diamond ring on her ring finger and it was a good fit. Perhaps… Was this a gift that Carter bought her? When that idea flashed through Tina’s mind, her smile became wider. Even her heartbeat accelerated. Clicked! The door of the office was pushed open. As soon as Carter walked in with his long legs, he saw Tina standing by the desk, looking complacent. He frowned. "What are you doing?" Tina raised her head, and the smile on the corners of her lips became brighter. In her high heels, she walked over and said happily, "Carter, have you finished your meeting? I brought you lunch. You must be always ordering takeaway and it is not good for your health. I personally made you lunch instead." Tina’s action did not touch Carter, but made him feel disgusted instead. When a man saw through a woman and had no feelings for her, all the contributions of that woman became redundant and annoying, especially for a woman like Tina, who was good in scheming. Tina's feelings for him had never been pure. In Carter's view, she got close to him only because of his honorable position and status. Carter glanced at the thermos jug on the table, and his eyes looked indifferent. However, when he looked at the empty jewelry box, his eyes froze. Tina had already stretched out her hand, playing with the ring happily. "Carter, is this something you specially prepared for me? I like it so much. It's so beautiful." Carter ordered her coldly, "Take it off now!" "Carter...?" Seeing that she did not budge, Carter pulled her hand and forcibly took off the ring. "Don't think so highly of yourself. This ring has nothing to do with you!" "But… This ring fits my finger very well." Carter sneered, picked up the ring, and showed her the inside of the ring. "Ms. Lane, look closely. The inside of the ring is engraved with H and G. These are the surnames of Helen and I. This has nothing to do with you." Hearing this, Tina's face stiffened. "Carter… I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that you don’t love me anymore. Back then, you said that I was the first person who you really liked, and that you would marry me..." Tina stretched out her hand and grabbed Carter's sleeves. Carter waved her hand away coldly and said slowly, "Now, when I hear these words again, I not only don't yearn for anything, but I also feel sick. How could I have fallen in love with a woman like you back then? I was really blind indeed." "Carter, listen to me. That very year, I didn't leave you because I thought you were a poor man. Uncle Gale forced me to. He said… that if I didn't leave, he would cut off all my resources in the showbiz. At that time, you knew that I just joined the showbiz, so if I didn’t have any jobs and lose my career, how would I pay the rent?" "Enough. I'm not interested in your explanations. Also, I warned you to not go to the Gale Family Mansion and visit Helen and my dad. The Gale family doesn't welcome you." "Carter… I'm really sorry. Back then, Uncle Gale even threatened me with your future. If I didn't leave you, you'd lose everything. I did it for you..." Carter sneered. "Tina, don't you actually think before you lie? Did you really think that I was so poor that you slept with the film director and got caught red handed by my dad?" Tina's whole body trembled, and her hands and feet turned cold. "Carter… I had no choice! It's that damn pervert director who forced me to! I didn't have a choice..." Carter was too lazy to deal with her anymore. With his cold eyes, he stared at her indifferently. "There were too many things which you didn't have choices for, Tina." "Carter..." "Leave with your so-called loving lunch. Don't let me see you ever again!" Tina was helpless. She wanted to pester Carter, but she knew his character. Based on his reaction today, if she still carried on pestering him, Carter would get really angry. Tina could only pretend that she was distressed and held the thermos jug. She bit her red lips with a pitiful and weak look, saying, "Carter, I know you can't forgive me now. However, over the years, I have been missing you a lot. You're the first man I love and will be the last. You're angry now, but I won't quarrel with you. After a few days, when your mood becomes better, I'll bring lunch over again." "I give you three seconds. If you don't leave, I'll call the security guard." Carter had never seen such a shameless woman. He realised how blind he was before that he liked this kind of woman who was so capable of scheming. When Luke was about to come in to report some work affairs, he ran into Tina, who was crying and running out. "Boss, Ms. Lane..." "Don't let this manipulative b*itch who looks innocent come in next time." Carter sat on the black swivel chair and massaged his temples. Luke was stunned for a while, then he flattered him, "Boss, you're really good at identifying b*tches." Carter snorted and curled his thin lips. "Yeah. You should watch more soap operas with your wife." He watched many famous soap operas with Mrs. Gale for three years. If he still could not spot a scheming woman, he watched those operas for nothing. Luke's mouth twitched. "..." "Oh, I forget that you don't have a wife." "..." Luke, who was forced to see Carter displaying his affection, felt choked.
