Love And

Chapter 280*

Isabella was worried about Carly moving away with Ronald. However, after hearing the Carter family’s words, she was in a trance, just like Carly. They knew the Carter family was wealthy and owned many branches in major cities nationwide. However, they subconsciously overlooked that Carly could still work at Carter’s Jewel despite leaving Hivalis. Isabella had to admit that because of the Carter family, she suddenly felt more relieved and even supported Carly’s departure from Hivalis.

With the Carter family providing Carly with a job, her life would be well–secured. Without financial pressure, it was indeed an excellent choice for her to leave Hivalis with Ronald and stay away from Connor,Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick thought for a while and said, “Carly, if you allow us, we would like to give you a piece of advice on this matter.”

Hearing this, Carly and Isabella both looked at Patrick. Debra also glanced at Patrick and was slightly confused, wondering, What else does Patrick have in mind?‘

Patrick said with a smile, “Becky and Hay got married. They will definitely live together in the future. Hoggard Technologies is located in Strico. If there’s no problem, Becky will also move out. If you’re not in a hurry, you should wait a while longer. After Becky returns from her honeymoon, I’ll discuss with her about letting you work at Hoggard Technologies. Then you and Ronald can move out with Becky. You two can take care of each other, so we all can rest assured.”

Adrian’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately came to his senses and said, “That’s possible.” Isabella and Carly remained silent.

It was impossible to leave immediately. Ronald was injured and had several stitches, so they couldn’t leave until he got better. Moreover, he also needed to attend school. At the least, Carly must let him complete the current semester before leaving. Otherwise, it would be difficult to settle the transfer procedures.

They discussed it for a long time, and the final decision was to wait. As they waited, the Zane family showed up again. However, this time, Adrian assigned several bodyguards outside Ronald’s ward. Even if the Zane family wanted to cause trouble, they could not enter the ward and only make a scene outside.

Despite this, the Zane family still made quite a scene where they shouted outside, saying Carly was malicious and beat Connor up. They demanded compensation and even tried to sue her for intentional harm.

The doctors and nurses in the hospital were displeased. After all, they would disturb other patients, especially the guests in the VIP ward, if they made such a scene. It was a hospital, after all. Even if the doctors and nurses wanted to, they couldn’t chase the Zane family out, who was being unreasonable.

Fortunately, the trouble didn’t last long because the doctor secretly sent Adrian a message when the Zane family went to Ronald’s ward to cause a scene. After receiving the message, he rushed over. As a professional lawyer, he explained the case to the Zane family on the spot and challenged them to sue.

The Zane family, especially Connor, knew Adrian’s identity and occupation best. After listening to Adrian’s explanation, Connor suddenly became scared.

This time, Connor picked a fight first and accidentally pushed Ronald into the flower bed. According to Adrian, Carly was only doing her responsibility as a mother to protect her child and defend herself, so it would not seem she was at fault.

Connor thought about it, gathered his courage, and shouted, “M–Mind your own business. This is between Carly and me. It has nothing to do with you!”

Isabella couldn’t stand it anymore and growled, “Why can’t we care about Carly’s problems?”

When Connor’s mother, Anastasia Schaupp, saw Isabella appear, she got annoyed immediately. She hurriedly walked over and snapped, “Who cares about Carly? Connor doesn’t even care about a woman who has been with many men! We only

want Ronald. He is Connor’s son and the Zane family’s grandson. If you ask Carly to let him stay here, we’ll never look for her again! Our family is so unlucky for us to have a trash like her”

Slap!

Before Anastasia could finish speaking, Carly, who suddenly walked out, slapped her hard. She had just comforted Ronald in the ward. After all, they used to be a family. She feared he would be scared when he saw the Zane family. However, what Anastasia said was so harsh that she couldn’t stand it. Finally, she stepped out and tried her best to channel all the grievances she had suffered over the years into the slap and hit her hard.

The crisp and loud slap suppressed all the noise. At this moment, almost everyone looked at Carly with confusion.

Connor quickly regained his senses, rushed over, pulled Anastasia behind him, looked at Carly with dissatisfaction, and reprimanded her in a familiar tone, “Carly! What are you trying to do?”

Carly looked at Connor coldly and muttered unhappily, “Connor, let me say it again. We are divorced. The court decided to let Ronald stay with me. He has nothing to do with your family from now on. Don’t dream about taking him away!”

Connor was so angry that he wanted to hit her again, but just as he raised his hand, the doctor grabbed him. A few minutes later, Connor was dragged back to his general ward and warned to rest and not continue making trouble. Otherwise, he would have to bear all the consequences.

Meanwhile, Carly watched the Zane family being taken away, but she still couldn’t forgive them, especially at the thought that they caused a scene in front of Ronald’s ward and that he saw them fighting again.

Carly got angry because of the matter. The more she thought about it, the more she became more determined. After Ronald’s injury healed, she would immediately leave Hivalis with him the next semester. It didn’t matter where, as long as she could be far away from the Zane family.

Adrian pondered for a while on how to prevent the Zane family from continuing to cause trouble. Thus, he discussed with Carly that he wanted to settle Ronald’s discharge procedures and bring him back to the mansion for recovery.

They were not afraid of the Zane family, but such a scene was unhealthy for a child’s growth. If possible, they should try their best to avoid such a fierce quarrel in front of children. Otherwise, it would easily leave a psychological trauma during childhood.

Although Carly thought it was inappropriate to stay with Isabella and Adrian again, she was sure the Zane family would pester her again if she kept living there. Ronald might even have an accident, just like what just happened. So, she finally nodded and agreed.

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Carly agree. She quickly comforted her, “Carly, don’t give yourself too much pressure. Adrian and I don’t mind at all. We are happy to have you move in with us.”
