Chapter 334 The Rupture
Chapter 334 The Rupture
When Terence heard Noah's words, his anger burst into flames, yet again. He clenched his fist and
prepared himself to punch Noah. But Carla came to the rescue and avoided a physical confrontation
between the two of them.
"Terence, calm down. You really can't hit him anymore!" Carla shouted, afraid that Terence just might
hit Noah to death.
Terence, who was still burning with rage, struggled to control himself. "Carla, what do you mean? Didn't
you hear what he said just? Why are you still stopping me despite that?!" he roared with his cold eyes
flashing slightly.
"…… Don't tell me what he said was indeed true," Terence stated, his face screaming astonishment
and fear concomitantly.
Before Carla could utter another word, Noah, who was sitting on the ground, opened his mouth again.
"Of course, it's true."
Noah wiped the blood around his mouth, and then continued to manufacture his long list of blatant lies.
"Carla slept with me every night when you were not with her! Oh, if you don't believe my words, I can
prove it. There is a small mole on her back, which can only be seen when she unfastens her underwear
belt. I wonder if you've ever noticed it? Have you?"
Noah looked at Carla affectionately after finishing his words. He knew the slightest mistrust he could
sow in between them was his victory.
Hearing Noah's words, Terence's eyebrows trembled. He was familiar with every inch of Carla's skin.
So he knew that there was indeed a small mole on her back, which was definitely an information privy
to very few people. And Noah definitely shouldn't be one of them.
Terence couldn't help but wonder, 'Noah Hua, how do you know that...'
Terence looked at Carla whose eyes still could not conceal her concern for Noah. But after hearing
Noah's latest accusation, she shook her head desperately.
"Terence, no! He is lying! Let me explain. Please believe me..." Carla cried.
She had panicked. She wasn't prepared for a level of personal attack to this extent out of nowhere. She
was prepared to explain because she was very sure that she had never done anything that may be
considered as inappropriate with Noah, but she really could not remember when Noah had seen her
mole. She realized that her side of the argument couldn't be effectively defended unless she can
explain that.
Terence looked at the woman before him who was trembling in fear and panic but didn't know how to
explain. Suddenly, Terence burst into a cold sneer. His deep dark eyes seemed to be filled with
disappointment and despair.
"Terence!"
"Terence An!"
Carla looked at Terence who turned around and left. She ran to him, grabbed his clothes and attempted
to utter something.
But Terence threw her hand away with total disregard.
Terence did not say a word and walked out of the room.
"Carla... Don't cry. I'm still here. I'll always be with you!" Noah said loudly, quite intentionally.
He stood up from the ground and walked towards her.
Carla pushed Noah away and rushed out of the door in spite of the endless stream of tears descending
down her cheeks and her injured leg which hadn't fully recovered. She limped down the stairs, in a
miserable state.
"Terence An, stop, please! I remember that. I'll tell you...
…… Listen to my explanation, Terence An!
…… Terence An! For God's sake, please listen to me!"
Carla shouted, her voice now sounding more hysterical than normal.
However, all she could do was to watch the off-road car drive away from the villa helplessly.
Carla collapsed on the ground at once as her face and clothes got drenched in tears and sweat. She
clutched her hair powerlessly with her hands, and sat on the ground crying, loudly. She could only
curse the merciless fate that had bought this unforeseen tragedy upon her.
When Noah made the groundbreaking revelation about her mole a while ago, she was really unable to
recall when Noah had seen her back. She didn't even know whether there actually was a mole on her
back or not.
But just as Terence was about to leave, she suddenly remembered.
When she had accompanied Noah to visit the Dragon King Temple in BH City last time, she had
suffered some back injuries. Because it was inconvenient to apply the medicine all by herself, Noah
had offered to help her once.
Carla was very sure that it was the only time when Noah had either seen or touched her back.
So it must be that time! Noah saw her mole during that time!
When Carla was sitting on the ground and crying, Noah ran down the stairs and walked over to her
side. He tried to hold her up from the ground, and he said, "It is freezing on the ground and your leg
hasn't recovered fully. Let me take you upstairs so that you can rest."
Out of the blue, a crisp slap hit him in the face!
"Don't touch me! Noah, are you satisfied now?" Carla yelled.
She moved back a little and continued, "What had you promised me earlier?"
Noah's previous words began to play in Carla's mind. He had said that the engagement was only a
temporary measure. He had also claimed that he wouldn't interfere with her freedom. However, she
had to believe that Noah hadn't honored any of his words or promises.
At that moment Carla really hated herself! She was too naive! She was regretful that she chose to
believe him before!
However, Noah still bent down to hold her up choosing to pretend as if the slapping incident never
occurred. He carried her upstairs despite her resistance.
"Since you don't like living in the Hua family and also don't want to live in my villa, I will move into here
from tomorrow," Noah offered bluntly.
He took her back into her room deliberately and cruelly ignored her tearful face. He said, "I don't mind
how much you hate me right now. I know you have planted the seeds of hatred in your heart. I will also Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
convert what I just falsely claimed in front of Terence into a reality one day."
He put her down on the bed and blurted, "I will not only live with you, but also sleep with you in the
same room and bed. You're my fiancee now, and I should have done these things earlier. I have the
right to do them."
Carla stared at him and shook her head out of disgust and astonishment. She barked, "Noah Hua, are
you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. I'm just fulfilling my obligations and desires." Noah adjusted his clothes which had
become a mess while fighting with Terence a while ago. Then he looked at Carla and said, "Carla, it's
impossible for you to be with Terence now. I hope you can realize that! I've ruined that relationship for
you.
From now on, a seed of suspicion will always be buried in his heart, and that seed will take root and
germinate eventually. And then, one day he will completely abandon you and choose to forget you!"
Carla really didn't want to listen to his words. They hurt her heart like arrows dipped in poison. She
covered her ears and shook her head helplessly.
"Do you know when a man will break and shatter into pieces? It's when he gets to know that his woman
has betrayed him! And now, Terence has left this place fully convinced beyond doubt that you've
betrayed him..."
Noah bent down and whispered in her ears, "And I'll put this betrayal into practice completely, so that
you can't go back to Terence, ever again."
After hearing his words, Carla slowly raised her head which was originally buried in her knees. She
snickered, and diverted her cold eyes at Noah.
"Noah, I believe you still don't know what I'm capable of. Even without Terence, I'm Carla Ji! You can try
to drive me crazy! I can only hope you have the strength to bear its repercussions that I shall roll
towards you!"
Purposely choosing not to heed her words of threat, Noah stood straight up and adjusted his suit. He
then sighed, "Carla, as long as you promise me that you won't meet Terence again, I won't force you to
sleep with me, as of now.
I have something else to deal with. I'll come to visit you tomorrow."
Saying that, Noah went outside and said to Vicky and Nola, "Take care of Miss Carla. If anything
unfortunate happens to her, call me immediately!"
"Yes, Mr. Noah."
Seeing Noah leaving, Vicky and Nola looked at each other, feeling frightened.
In the bedroom, Carla, as if she had parted with her soul completely, sat on the bed with her hands on
her knees. She looked out at the cloudy sky outside the window as dusk was about to creep in slowly.
Ever since she met Terence, he had been the light in her heart.
With him, she never really felt darkness. It was the first time that she felt frozen from the deepest layers
of her heart and shivered from head to foot.
As far as her memory was concerned, Terence had never gotten angry with her or treated her so
indifferently.
Even though they had occasionally argued about various issues due to disagreements, she had never
seen something that could be described as legitimate anger from his eyes. But this time...
She dared not think what she was going to do in the future without Terence.
She regretted her initial decision of having allowed Terence to come in here today. If he hadn't come
here today, all these terrible things wouldn't have happened.
Why?! She still laughed with him and called him "Cousin" until the very last moment. He also kissed her
affectionately.
But before those memories could fade, her world had been shattered like never before...
Suddenly, Carla seemed to understand why everything turned out to happen like it happened. She
looked up and sneered. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her lips tasted salty.
Carla guessed all of this was designed by Noah! She had naively fallen into his ingenious trap!
Other than that, she couldn't reckon another explanation as to how Noah had arrived at her villa as
soon as Terence decided to stop by.
So she realized that no matter when Terence came here, as long as she met him, she would inevitably
have fallen into Noah's trap!
Noah had been waiting for an opportunity to establish a level of suspicion between them in order to
separate her from Terence.
She had been so foolish that she still hold glimmer of hope that Noah would keep his word and bless
her and Terence!
Throughout the rest of the day, she stayed in the room in a daze until the grandfather clock in the
hallway chimed midnight.
Her thoughts kept wandering aimlessly in a universe filled with misery and sadness until she heard
someone knocking on her door, allowing her to escape from her endless string of thoughts into
reality.
