Chapter 331 Hi, Cousin!
Chapter 331 Hi, Cousin!
"Uncle Terence? Uncle Terence..."
Amanda looked at Terence who was leaving from the office and tried to follow him, but Rainer stopped
her at the door.
"Miss Amanda, please stop," Rainer said politely. Slightly bowing his head with a smile, he explained,
"Mr. Terence is going to an important meeting, so I think you'd better go home first, Miss Amanda."
Rainer had gotten accustomed to making up all kinds of excuses to persuade Amanda to go home
these days.
But he'd realized that Amanda was really patient. She came to Terence's office every single day even
though he didn't treat her well. If Terence wasn't here, she would stay and wait for him.
"Rainer, can you tell me why Uncle Terence doesn't like me? Is Carla really better than me?"
Amanda asked as she looked at the empty corridor in front of her in disappointment.
"Miss Amanda, there is no competition in love. And once Mr. Terence has decided on something, he
will stick to it. He's not one to change his decisions."
After finishing his words, Rainer said goodbye to Amanda and walked to the elevator.
Amanda sighed and bowed her head.
In front of the AJ Building, Terence and Nathan were waiting in the car for Rainer. When Terence saw
Rainer running out of the building in a hurry, he looked at his watch again and calculated the time it
would take from here to HA City.
As soon as Rainer got into the car, Terence asked Nathan to start the car.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as Terence had expected.
When Nathan called the staff in charge of Terence's private plane to prepare to fly to HA City, he
received some bad news. "Mr. Terence, Mr. Edmund has stopped your personal plane.
He said that you can go anywhere but HA City," Nathan said, turning to Terence.
Terence raised his eyebrows. "Ask them who their boss is! If they're willing to listen to my father's
words over mine, they can go and work for him. It's not like there's a lack of people who can fly a
plane."
Nathan nodded. "Okay, Mr. Terence."
"Drive to Seaview Villa first. Rainer, give me the Hua Group's recent progress report." Terence
temporarily put his own company's transaction documents aside.
Then, he began to look through the Hua Group's progress report.
"Mr. Terence, it seems that the Hua Group has undertaken a big project. It is rumored that Noah is
going to buy a joint venture electronics company with a large sum of money. But his motive for doing
that is confidential, so we don't have that information," Rainer reported.
Since it was a secret that only the topmost members of the Hua Group knew about, Rainer had only
been able to collect some general information. He wasn't very sure about the details.
Terence nodded and then looked at the recent transactions of the Hua Group. Narrowing his eyes, he
said, "It seems that my guess is right. Noah is daring and resolute when it comes to business. If this
product is successfully developed and marketed, the Hua Group will enter a new field."
After hearing Terence's words, Rainer became curious. "What? Mr. Terence, do you know their
motive?"
Rainer couldn't help but think, 'This is Hua Group's business secret. I've been studying and speculating
about their documents for a long time, but I still can't figure out why they're planning to acquire an
electronics company. After all, the electronics market is too large with too many products being
released.
So, how did Mr. Terence find out what Noah's motive is?'
"The Hua Group has been stagnant for the past few years. The reason why it couldn't improve was that
Allen always prioritized stability and never blindly followed the trend. Everyone kept saying that the Hua
Group doesn't care about creativity, but it still kept its leading role in this industry. That was because of
its focus on being successful in only one field," Terence answered.
Then, after a pause, he added, "However, after a point, the Hua Group stopped making progress. It
came to a standstill when Allen was in charge."
He looked out the window with enigmatic eyes. "But now, Noah is the head of the Hua Group. He is an
ambitious person. It's said that Noah proposed this project before but Allen rejected it."
"Mr. Terence, please don't keep me guessing anymore. What does Noah really want to do?"
Rainer couldn't help but ask.
But Terence just shot him an indifferent glance.
"You won't understand it even if I tell you. All you need to know is that I won't let Noah succeed in this
project. That's enough."
Terence knew that the more successful Noah was, the bigger threat he would pose to the Hua family.
And if Noah could pose great threats to the Hua family, it would be extremely difficult for Carla to get
out of his control. With that in mind, Terence prepared himself to try his best to fight against Noah.

In HA City
This afternoon, Carla gave up her cane and slowly walked by herself in the villa.
Since she hadn't put any weight on her left foot for a long time, it was necessary for her to slowly start
trying to walk normally.
Fortunately, the doctor had said that all her bones were back to normal. As long as she exercised, she
could recover in no time. The doctor's only suggestion was that she should walk slowly instead of being
too eager and overdoing it.
"Miss Carla, you've been walking for a long time. You'd better sit down and rest," Nola, the maid in
Carla's new villa, came over and said to Carla.
Carla was tired, so she agreed to have some rest. Nola helped her walk to the sofa.
"Sit down for a moment. I've made some fruit cake. I'll bring it to you!" Nola said. After helping Carla sit
down on the sofa, she went to the kitchen.
Carla was excited after hearing that Nola had made some fruit cake.
Andrea had specially picked a maid who was good at cooking for Carla. She had found that Carla
hadn't eaten well at the Hua family's house, so she wanted her daughter to eat more.
There was also another maid in Carla's villa named Vicky. Vicky was a little younger than Nola. She
was really hardworking, and she was generally responsible for cleaning.
Nola and Vicky lived in Carla's new villa. Their priority was actually to take care of Carla. Then, in the
rest of their time, they had to do housework in the villa.
As Carla ate the fruit cake, she enjoyed the natural beauty outside the window.
It was getting colder as autumn had arrived. Leaves kept falling. Carla thought that the green scenery
outside wouldn't be able to last long.
Although there weren't many people living here, a lot of cars would pass by here every day, so Carla
didn't feel too depressed and bored.
Besides, she got to sit in front of a panoramic window and eat sweet and delicious cake. What more
could she ask for? Suddenly, she saw a luxurious black off-road car coming straight toward her villa.
And right now, the door of the villa was open!
Stunned, Carla subconsciously bit the fork. Nola and Vicky also came over to the window to see who
was coming.
The two maids were both curious about who the owner of the luxurious car was.
Carla wasn't sure about who the one was either. 'Terence said he would come here after finishing his
work, so he should be arriving here in the evening. But who else would come to this villa?' she
wondered.
When she saw Rainer get out of the car and open the backseat door, she was sure that Terence was
here.
'Why has he come here so early?' she thought to herself.
"These people seem like trouble. Miss Carla, shall I inform Mrs. Andrea?" Nola asked.
"I think it's better to inform Mr. Noah!" Vicky also showed concern.
Nola and Vicky both didn't know Terence, so they were afraid that he would harm Carla.
In their eyes, this car had entered the villa in an aggressive way. Normally, guests would stop at the
door and ask the owner for permission before coming in.
Moreover, Nathan, who had gotten out of the car, had a dark and cold face. This immediately made
Nola and Vicky worry that the men in the car were from an illegal organization.
"Don't be nervous. It's my...my cousin! He knows that I've moved here, so he must have come to visit
me!"
Carla explained immediately, stopping Vicky from calling Noah.
'Both of these maids come from the Hua family and know that I'm Noah's fiancee, so I can't...
Oh, no!' she thought to herself.
Carla saw Terence step out of the car and stare at her through the window. She could almost feel the
uncontrollable flame shining in his starry eyes.
Terence began walking toward the villa in a grand mood as if he had just come back to his own house.
But right before he reached the door, he heard a strange greeting. "Hi, cousin!"This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
