Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 737

He's already a grown man. He should be able to deal with it himself, Amelia thought.

Meanwhile, Carter was sitting in his car as he looked at the building of a company through his window with a solemn expression. There were unknown emotions in his eyes.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally opened the door and got out of his car.

The moment he walked into the building, the receptionist stopped him. “Mr. Scott, I'm terribly sorry. But Ms. Larson has told us not to let you go upstairs. Please don't make things difficult for me.”

Carter's eyes darkened. “It's okay. I have an appointment with her. If you don't believe me, you can call her and tell her I'm here.”

“Okay, then. Please wait a moment, Mr. Scott,” the receptionist said and went to call Jennifer. The moment Jennifer answered the call, the receptionist explained the situation. No one knew what Jennifer said to her because she glanced at Carter with a strange look and said, “Okay. I understand.”

After she hung up the call, the receptionist walked over to Carter. “I'm really sorry, Mr. Scott. Ms. Larson said she didn't receive your request to meet her, so I can't let you in.”

Carter nodded and walked to the side as he dialed Jennifer's number. When she didn't answer his call, he texted her.

He wrote: Jennifer, I know you're not answering my call on purpose, but I really have to talk to you. If

you don't come out to meet me, I'll wait downstairs until you do.

Carter's heart skipped a bit when he saw that the message was successfully delivered. His palms were sticky with sweat.

He sat on the couch and was lost in his own thoughts. He didn't even know when he had started liking Jennifer. In the past, he had firmly believed that the one he loved was Amelia, and he had done countless crazy things to make Amelia fall for him. However, when he saw the video of Jennifer under another man, he noticed a shift in his feelings. At that time, jealousy, anger, disgust, and hatred filled his heart before the emotions changed to deep concerns for Jennifer. Worried that the viral video would ruin her, he had thought of everything and tried everything to destroy the video. To his surprise, another person with more authority had control over the trend of the video on the internet. Because of that, he had reluctantly begged for Amelia's help. Begging Amelia to help another woman was something that he had never done before.

Perhaps things had gotten more complicated between him and Jennifer after they had slept together.

Jennifer had pursued him for two years. Besides, with the incident after they got drunk, it was destined that they couldn't go back to the time when they were friends.

Since she didn't reply to his message, Carter actually sat in the lobby and waited for her. After about an hour, a tall figure approached him, and he looked at the figure. He couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

“Oh? You're here too, Mr. Scott. Are you here to see Jennifer?” June asked with a half-smile as he looked at Carter.

Carter got up and looked at June. “June, you'd better leave Jennifer. You don't deserve her.”

June laughed and said, “Mr. Scott, so you're saying I'm not worthy of her, but you are?”

Carter glared at June. “It doesn't matter if she ends up with me as long as she doesn't get together with you. You're involved with too many women. You don't deserve her at all.”

June smiled, but what he said next was extraordinarily rude. “Mr. Scott, I admit that I'm a playboy. But don't you forget, Jennifer has my child now and is willing to become my lover. What do you think that means? It means that I'm a lot more attractive than you. Since she's putting her dignity down, I'll just treat her as someone who warms up my bed.”

Carter clenched his fist and punched June's nose.

June staggered backward. Carter went over and continued punching him. After Carter landed two punches, June reacted and started fighting back. Since both of them were good at fighting, it was a fierce fight.

Immediately, the receptionist called the guards. However, the fight was so fierce that it was difficult for the guards to separate the two since the guards didn't dare to get close to them. Having no choice, the receptionist called the police and informed Jennifer about it.

When Jennifer reached the lobby and saw the injured Carter and June, she felt a faint headache. It never even occurred to me that two men would fight over me out of jealousy when I was younger. Who would've known I'd have a chance to experience this when I'm almost thirty?

However, she didn't feel honored about it at all. Instead, it was utterly humiliating. All eyes were on her because of the video, and currently, two grown men were fighting because of her. She reckoned she would get even more famous since those who talked behind her would insult her even more.

“Stop fighting! Stop!” Jennifer tried to approach them so that they would stop, but the receptionist held her back. The receptionist said, “Ms. Larson, calm down. If you rush to them when they're fighting, you'll get hurt.”

Jennifer looked at the guards anxiously and shouted, “Get up there and separate the two of them! What are you waiting for? Are you planning to do something only when something happens to them?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Only then did the guards man up to pull June and Carter apart. Unexpectedly, June and Carter punched the guards. At that moment, someone wailed.

Jennifer was worried sick. She struggled out of the receptionist's grip and went up to pull Carter and June apart. Carter almost punched her out of anger. Fortunately, he stopped when he saw her. However, June despicably took the opportunity to land a punch on Carter, and the latter fell to the ground because of that.

Jennifer's expression changed drastically when she saw that. She ran over and squatted down to examine Carter's face as she choked out, “Carter, are you okay? Let's go to the hospital.”

Carter was still a little stunned from the punch, but when he saw Jennifer's slightly red eyes, he felt that all of that was worth it.

He shook his head forcibly and grabbed Jennifer's wrist. “Jennifer, you still care about me, right?”

Only then did she return to her senses and retract her hand quickly. After that, she walked over to June's side and pretended to ask out of concern, “June, are you okay?”

June wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and smiled gentlemanly. “I'm fine. I think Mr. Scott is hurt pretty badly.”

Jennifer forced a smile.

Carter got up from the ground, and disappointment flashed across his eyes when he saw that Jennifer wasn't looking at him. However, that look disappeared very quickly.

“Jennifer, I have to talk to you,” Carter said.

Before she could say anything, a few police officers entered the lobby. “Who called the police? The two who were involved in the fight, please come to the police station with us.”

June approached the police and said, “Officer, that man punched me first. I hope that you Chanaeans can give me a good explanation since I'm a foreigner. Otherwise, I'll have to contact the embassy to get them involved in this matter.”

Seeing that a foreigner was beaten up, the police officers began to treat the matter seriously. One of the officers walked over to Carter's side and said, “Sir, please follow us to the police station with him. We have to take your statement.”

Jennifer walked toward the officer and defended Carter, “Officer, this is a misunderstanding. The two of them know each other. They were just fooling around. There wasn't a fight.”

June held her waist and said affectionately, “Babe, I know you're kind-hearted, but I was beaten up this time. You shouldn't let an outsider escape from the law.”

She shot him a glance as if she was saying, “You'd better not go overboard.”

Carter reached out and pulled her to him. He patted her forehead and said, “I'm fine. It's just a trip to the police station. I'll go. Don't worry.”

“Carter, you—”

“Shh... I'll be fine.”

In the end, she had no choice but to follow them to the police station.
