She Killed My Ex

Chapter 117 Antonio's Excitement

Antonio got home and was beaten up by Harrison again. His spotless white shirt was stained by blood when he walked out of the mansion.

The butler Elliot chased after him and said, "Mr. Tucker, please take this."

Antonio glanced at the medical ointment in Elliot's hand and the coldness in his eyes somehow dispersed. He reached out to take the ointment and said, "Thank you, Elliot."

Elliot hesitated and then stopped him before he got into the car, "Mr. Tucker, why do you have to insist?"

"Elliot, you can't understand this."

"But Mr. Tucker, it's just a woman. You will have plenty of women if you want."

"There are many women, but there is only one Caroline."

"Alas. Mr. Harrison Tucker won't allow that kind of woman to marry into the Tucker family. Why do you have to insist, young master? The boss of the Shawn Group is not someone to be trifled with. Besides, you have never dealt with the business of the Tucker Group before, and it had already violated the taboo of this industry as you suddenly begin to manage the company."

Elliot continued, "You've already surprised Mr. Harrison Tucker since you could take over the company and accomplish this far. But young master, I need to advise you though this advice may be harsh to the ear. When you were young, you liked to compete with Bentley on everything. And the seniors from the two families were well aware of this. But you always lost to Bentley. Now you and Bentley have both grown up."

Elliot asked straightforwardly without caring about Antonio's self-esteem, "Young master, I guess you must have been aware of Bentley's capabilities and means of doing things."

He continued, "Among all the generations of the Shawn family, Bentley was the most ruthless one. And he had horrifyingly outstanding capabilities and mental powers. Such kind of people is the most ruthless one. Young master, for such people, even if you can't be their friend, don't be their enemy. You should have known this."

He knew this but he still made a mistake.

That was the worst kind of mistake.

A wise man like Antonio had made a mistake that he was not supposed to make.

Elliot couldn't help but hold hostility against Caroline. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Antonio gradually clenched his hands which were gripping the steering wheel when he heard Elliot's words. Then he raised his head and asked Elliot with a smile, "Elliot, does everyone think that I will lose?"

Elliot had never expected that Antonio would ask this question. He was dumbfounded and didn't know how to reply. He tried to explain, "Young master, I didn't mean this."

Antonio chuckled, glanced at the sleeve of his shirt which was stained with blood, and said, "Elliot, I felt great pain when my grandfather beat me with his crutch. But if I have to give up on that foolish girl, it would be more painful than being beaten by one hundred crutches."

With that, he started the engine, waved at Elliot who looked astonished and said, "I know with my current capabilities, it's hard for me to win Bentley. But luckily, diligence will make up for the lack of talent. The current situation is not that bad. Though I couldn't recover the losses, the situation is getting better. Elliot, it's not time for me to yield yet."

With a complicated expression, Elliot asked, "Young master, does Caroline deserve to let you anger your grandfather and endure the pressure from your company, the shareholders, and the whole Tucker family? You're even unwilling to give up on her even at the cost of everything you have. Does she worth it?"

Antonio curled up his lips and replied without a moment of hesitation and in an extremely firm voice, "She deserves it." Then he continued, "Elliot, I still need to deal with some matters in the company. Please excuse me."

The car drove away slowly. Antonio curled up his lips again when he thought of Caroline and stroked his lips. This was the first woman who made his heart beat so fast when he kissed her. There were plenty of women in this world, but there was only one Caroline.

For her, he could take the pressure from his family, the company, and the shareholders.

He would never give up on her!

His heart was beating as fast as the speed of the car. He yelled inwardly, "Bentley, who do you think you are?"

Half a month later...

When Caroline saw Antonio again, she found he had lost a lot of weight. But he looked more energetic and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Come with me. I'll take you to a place." Antonio dragged Caroline into his car without even explaining to her.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know it when we arrive. Can you ask for a leave tonight?"

Caroline didn't reply.

Antonio continued, "Just today, please."

Caroline still wanted to refuse it.

"Alas, I'm so pitiful. I have treated someone to many bowls of beef noodles, but that person doesn't appreciate it at all. Tsk, what an ungrateful woman." The man sitting in the driver's seat said to himself while driving. But his voice was so loud that Caroline couldn't ignore it.

"Alas, so many bowls of beef noodles. What a waste!"

Caroline kept silent and didn't comment.

"Beef noodles, oh, my beef noodles, you died in such a pitiful way. People say gifts blind the eyes. But that woman is too ungrateful. She even refused to take a night off for me after eating many bowls of beef noodles I treated her."

Caroline felt an impulse in her heart. She hadn't had such a feeling for so long. At least she had never had such a fluctuation in emotions during the period when Antonio didn't show up before her.

"Oh, my poor beef noodles."

Caroline gritted her teeth.

"Actually..." She spoke slowly. Antonio's eyes lit up when she finally spoke. Caroline continued, "Actually, I don't like beef noodles."

The smile stiffened on Antonio's face and there was also a while of embarrassment on his face. He coughed and said, "What are you saying? I suddenly lost my hearing. I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

A hint of resignation flashed across Caroline's eyes as she said, "I said I would take the night off. But you must tell me what we are going to do."

Just as she had finished the words, Antonio turned to look at her in surprise and asked, "Really? Really? Really?"

"Mr. Tucker, didn't you lose your hearing?"

"It's temporary, and now it has recovered."

Caroline was rendered speechless. She seldom experienced mood swings and had been living like a walking dead. But at this moment, her cheeks twitched because she was shocked by his shamelessness. She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her expression.

But Antonio caught this through the corner of his eye. A smile flashed across his eyes.

Caroline thought of something and asked, "Mr. Tucker, you haven't told me why you asked me to take a night off. What do you want to do?"

Antonio braked the car and stopped it steadily when Caroline asked the question.

"Here we are." Antonio smiled at her and continued, "Get off. And you'll find out soon."

Caroline looked confused. Antonio got out of the car, walked to the door to the passenger seat, pulled open the door for her, and said, "Callie, get out."

Caroline took a glance at the building before her. It was remodeled from an old factory and was not that luxurious. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Antonio held her hand without explanation and led her inside.

She only realized that this was a place for recreation and tea when she entered the building.

"Callie, the black forest cake it offers is very delicious. We'll order one later and you can have a try."

While speaking, Antonio took Caroline to the innermost private room.

Carline thought Antonio just took her here for dessert on a whim.

But when they stood before the private room, Antonio said to her with lights glittering in his eyes, "I want to introduce some friends to you. They were my best friends when I studied abroad."

Caroline immediately became nervous when she heard his words. She declined, "I don't..."

But Antonio had already pushed open the door. He said, "Callie, come here, let me introduce them to you. I got to know them when I studied abroad. My best friends, Deloris Sawyer, and Cayne Filocci."

The three of them were all dumbfounded when their eyes met in the air.

Caroline's face instantly became pale.
