Chapter 267 To Kill Or Not To Kill
Chapter 267 To Kill Or Not To Kill
Carla sat in the car, free of any suspicions on Noah.
What she didn't know was that Noah, who looked like he was driving peacefully had half a mind to kill
her. The struggle in Noah's head was completely obscure to her.
She also didn't know that this short journey which she thought to be safe, concealed a great danger
she couldn't have imagined.
The danger was specially arranged for her by Noah.
The airbag on the Hummer was specially handled, which was the reason why Noah came so late.
Noah planned for an "accident" to transpire and the moment it does happened, the airbag on Noah's
side would pop up safely, but the one on Carla's side would fail to do so.
At that moment, Noah's mind was occupied by the thought that Carla could not meet the Hua Family
since Terence was not dead.
Only when Carla was dead can he achieve his ultimate goal—be the legal heir of the Hua Family.
So he came up with a meticulous plan for Carla's death.
And Carla was completely oblivious about it.
She adjusted the stereo equipment in the car, chose her favorite songs and then enjoyed the music.
In fact, Terence had warned her to be careful of Noah before she went out that day.
But in her mind, Noah was the one who saved her life. She had since regarded him as an elder brother.
So she didn't think to be mindful with him.
She hummed a familiar song and looked at Noah with a grin. She said, "Noah, I didn't expect you to
also like these love songs!"
Carla's words interrupted Noah from his thoughts. He quickly responded with a smile, "If you like these
songs, you can enjoy them. I think my subordinates downloaded them. I don't usually pay attention to
the music."
"That's wonderful! Thank you," Carla answered. And then she saw her favorite yogurt, drinks and
snacks in the back seat. She immediately took one and asked, "Can I drink this one?"
"Of course, it's for you," Noah answered without looking at her.
Carla took a mouthful of the yogurt and smiled contentedly. "Thank you, Noah!" She reached out and
pulled at Noah's clothes lightly.
"It's really nice of you to prepare so many drinks and snacks for me!" she grinned.
Noah forced a small smile. In reality, his heart couldn't calm down at all.
Seeing Carla be so carefree and trusting with him, Noah felt extremely guilty.
If he thought deeper, he couldn't actually figure out how he felt about her now.
Back then, he originally had a clear purpose when he first approached her.
But the more he spent time with her, the stronger he was attracted to her. He started to be calm yet at
the same time, thrilled whenever he was with her. The gradual change made him think of her from time
to time. And even just the thought of her would always change his mood to relaxed and happy.
Before meeting her, he had never experienced those feelings at all.
And whenever he saw her with Terence, he would feel his heart in pain. But he never paid it that much
attention.
Especially from the start, when it wasn't that clear and noticeable. But after the accident she
encountered in HA City, such feelings only became stronger and stronger.
He was not a man who placed great importance on feelings. Most of the things that he allowed himself
to feel were based on his own interests and rights.
But since meeting Carla, the feelings he could control so perfectly was suddenly in shambles.
After a while, Carla's mobile phone rang.
"Hello, Terence..." Carla greeted after picking up the phone.
"Carla, can Noah hear me?" Terence asked. Carla felt a little surprised but she turned the volume down
while she took a glance at Noah to see if he heard Terence. Noah just turned to look at her so she
smiled at him. "No," Carla addressed Terence on the phone. "Listen to me. You don't have to answer,"
Terence said calmly. Then, he continued, "I arranged for a car to follow behind yours. If anything
happens, just dial the number that I sent to your mobile phone." Carla heard her phone beep and just
as he said, a number was sent on her phone.
"You don't need to answer me. Remember what I said. Be careful on the way. Don't sleep,"
Terence firmly told her, worry apparent on his voice.
"I see, I'll remember that," Carla answered.
Although she had no idea why Terence doubted Noah, she still saved the phone number that Terence
sent her and made it her number one emergency dial.
As a matter of fact, Terence knew more about Noah than Carla did. He had a hint about Noah's
intentions in approaching Carla from the beginning.
So when he found out that Carla would get on Noah's car, he felt worried. He immediately arranged for
a car to follow them.
Seeing Carla hung up the phone, Noah asked, "Is that Terence?"
Carla plainly nodded. She thought that Terence sounded a little too nervous which confused her
because she didn't think Noah would do anything awful to her.
"Does he know you're going to HA City with me?" Noah asked, trying to find out if Terence said
anything about him that would need him to be worried.
"Yes, I tell him whenever I'm out," Carla said casually, playing with a funny little object in front of the
windshield.
"Did he say anything to you?" Noah failed to get the answer he wanted from her expression. So he
couldn't figure out whether the woman beside him was suddenly apprehensive with him or not.
Carla shook her head and laughed. She looked at Noah with her usual smile and then said, "No, he
didn't say anything important. Why are you asking me that? Are you afraid that he will be jealous?"
Noah smiled gently and asked, "Won't he be jealous? You're his girlfriend. And now you're going to
another city with another man. Wouldn't he be bothered?"
"Well, he was a little worried about me. But you're different from other men. For me, you're like a family.
So even if he doesn't like me to go out with you, I won't listen to him!"
Carla said with a giggle.
But the truth was that Terence's attitude towards Noah was really different from when she was with
other men.
When she went out with Johnny, Terence would ultimately become jealous.
But whenever she went out with Noah, Terence would always warn her to be careful with him.
A few minutes later, Carla suddenly thought of what Terence told her the last time. So she turned to
Noah and asked, "Noah, how old is this friend of yours that we're going to meet this time?"
She wondered whether the friend that Noah were talking about were Mr. and Mrs. Hua.
She had thought about her real identity in the past two days. And she had decided that no matter what
she was going to find out, she would try to calm herself down. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Since anything that would come her way would be brought about by destiny, she thought that it would
be better to face it with a brave heart and just accept it.
"They're nearly sixty years old," Noah answered. When he thought about it, Andrea was a few years
younger than Allen who was already in his sixties. So they were all nearly sixty.
Carla nodded and thought, 'That age seems to be quite close to that of Mr. and Mrs. Hua.'
She had spent the last two days thinking about countless possibilities so she felt that she was well
prepared to face whatever might happen.
Just like what Terence said, she still had Sean, her younger brother to take care of.
As an elder sister, she must be strong to protect Sean.
Soon enough, the car had already gone a long way.
Noah began to look at his watch more and more frequently. He kept paying attention to the incoming
cars. Because according to his plan, the truck that he had arranged would come in about 10 minutes
from then.
On the other side of the highway, there was a large slope. And under that was a low cliff which was not
too high but would be lethal enough.
Noah thought that to be in the "accident" itself was the best way to get away from a crime.
Therefore, even if Andrea and Allen knew their daughter got into an accident in his car, they wouldn't
blame him. Because he was also in the car and would also get injured. They would simply consider it
as an unfortunate accident and not a crime.
Carla had been eating some snacks, completely oblivious of Noah's plans. After a long drive, she felt a
little sleepy so she took a nap.
But she didn't dare to sleep too long because she wanted to help Noah navigate through the roads.
After all, he had been driving for so long, and she was a little worried that he would be tired.
She didn't notice that Noah's forehead was beginning to sweat. At that moment, Noah saw a truck from
far ahead. Its lights at the front blinked three times.
It was the secret signal that they had talked about.
Noah turned to look at Carla. She looked so innocent and angelic while she slept so soundly. In his
eyes, she looked so cute like a baby squirrel.
At that moment, Noah felt more conflicted than ever before.
He couldn't do such a thing to Carla.
He was reluctant to hurt this woman who never did anything wrong, especially not to him. He didn't
want her to disappear in this world.
But he had no other choice.
