The Pull

The night was enchanting, and the dim lights on the road reflected the loneliness of the late comers. Once again, Carla Luo worked overtime, it was already midnight. She dragged her tired body back home. As soon as she plopped herself on the sofa, she indistinctly heard faint sounds coming from the room.

'It's already late. Could it be Harden? But he said he had a business dinner tonight, so he won't be back!'

Depressed, Carla Luo cautiously walked towards her room with a broom in her hand.

As she approached the room, she could hear passionate moans filling the air. Clothes were scattered everywhere on the floor. When the door unlocked...

On the bed, she found a man and a woman tightly embracing each other.

"Harden Liu!" Carla Luo gaped at them in disbelief and shouted hysterically, "What are you doing?"

Frightened, the two figures separated from each other.

The woman on the bed pushed Harden Liu away and impatiently got dressed into her pajamas. She walked forward and slapped Carla Luo on the face.

Slap!

"Stop shouting! Anyways, Harden and I have already finished what we were supposed to do and what we shouldn't have done. Carla, it's really unfortunate that you came at such a bad time."

Carla Luo glared in response. This woman was no other than her best friend, Wendy Tang!

"Bitch!" Carla Luo lost her mind in anger. Still holding the broom in her hand, she tried to hit Wendy Tang. But before she could hit her, Harden Liu stopped her and grabbed the broom.

"Carla, can you be more rational?" Harden Liu sighed as he straightened his clothes. "Let's break up! The person I really like is Wendy, not you."

This was ridiculous. Harden Liu just ruined their relationship after being together for five years.

And Wendy Tang was her best friend.

"When did you two get together?" Carla Luo gave at Wendy Tang a look of disbelief. "I trusted you so much. How could you do such a thing to me?"

"Why couldn't I?" Wendy Tang raised an eyebrow at her and scoffed in disdain, "Do you think that all the men in the world will be there to chase you? I've always liked Harden, but you never knew. You used to be a rich young lady, but you're only a part-time worker now. You act as if you're still more superior than I am. How dare you should so arrogant?"

Carla found it hard to process what she just said.

But Wendy Tang was telling the truth.

For the past year, the JY Group that belonged to the Luo family, had undergone many financial problems. Some time ago, her parents had gone abroad to negotiate a business transaction with foreign businessmen. However, their plane crashed and her parents died in the accident. From then on, Carla had to take over the JY Group.

She had just returned from her studies abroad and wasn't too familiar with the domestic laws or the business environment. Because of that, she left the company's affairs under Harden's leadership, just as Wendy had suggested.

It never occurred to her that her best friend and her boyfriend would have an affair!

A couple of months ago, Harden had even asked her to marry him.

"To be frank, Harden wanted to tell you the truth a long time ago, but I stopped him. I was afraid that you won't be able to accept it. Now that you've witnessed us getting it on, then I guess we don't have to explain anything else to you." Wendy Tang looked down at Carla victoriously and smirked. "If you are smart enough, you can leave quietly. Otherwise, the both of us will be embarrassed."

"This is my home. You should be the ones to leave, right now!" Carla pointed at the door in a furious rage.

Harden felt amused when he heard this. He gave Carla a disdainful look as he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He indifferently replied, "You're the one who should leave."

"What the hell are you talking about, Harden?"

The cold expression on his face made Carla feel strange. Harden was a very gentle man when they had first gotten to know each other, but it seemed that he had completely changed.

"Carla, if nothing's wrong with your brain, then you should remember that you already transferred the company and this house to me! I wanted you to stay here for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be so blind!"

Carla felt her brain buzzing, she couldn't bear it.

She clearly remembered that she had only given him the position as the CEO and that she was still the owner of the company. She also clearly remembered that she didn't pledge this house to anyone else!

Wait...
