Chapter 844 Photos Taken Again
After leaving the residence, Jennifer shoved Carter aside and uttered in a distant tone, “Carter, you may leave now. I can hail a taxi and go home by myself.”
Carter gazed at her deeply and said gently, “Jennifer, be nice, okay? Stop throwing tantrums. Let’s go home together. If you’re afraid that Oscar is going to do something to your parents, I can use my connections to relocate them. I promise you he won’t be able to find them. Don’t worry. I’m here for you, and you’re not alone.”
Jennifer raised her head and looked at Carter, who was gazing at her affectionately. “Carter, please leave. Oscar is right. I’m that terrible. I’ve been using you, and I really wanted to make a move against Tony. It’s just that June had betrayed me and acted first. If Oscar wants to come at me, there’s nothing I can do about it. However, I’m not going to drag you down with me. Don’t treat me with such loyalty. I don’t deserve it. I know you’re still into Amelia. Therefore, I need to set things straight. Otherwise, I’m going to feel guilty while taking advantage of you.”
With that, she turned around to leave. Carter grabbed her hand immediately.
Jennifer froze, and she was on the verge of crying.
Carter suddenly pulled her into his embrace. With his chin resting on her head, he said in a gentle tone, “Jennifer, it’s true that Amelia still holds a special place in my heart. However, I know there is nothing left between me and her. Now, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. I can protect you. It’s just that… Would you be able to let go of the grudge and hatred within you? You’re no match for Oscar.”
Jennifer responded by pushing Carter away.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.” She looked away and added, “I’ll leave now. I don’t think we can be together.”
Jennifer walked away without turning back. Carter was rooted to the spot, staring at Jennifer’s silhouette as she walked away from him. All kinds of emotions started to appear on his face, and he was trembling.
About ten seconds later, Carter chased after her. He stopped Jennifer, who had already reached the side of the car. He glared at her and gritted his teeth. “Jennifer, you got me into this. Don’t you leave me now! I’ve got my mind set on you. There’s no way you’re getting out of this.”
With that, he kissed her and whipped out his car key from his pocket. After opening the car door, he pushed Jennifer into the car and got on top of her. He took advantage of the fact that she was in a daze because of his kiss and took off her clothes.
Jennifer widened her eyes to stare at Carter in disbelief. In the next second, she tried to break free by pushing Carter away. “Carter, let me go! Let me go!” She didn’t like how he was doing this to her without any affection.
Just when the two were immersed in the passionate moment, someone broke the car window and took photos of them calmly.
After taking a few photos of them, the man said, “Mr. Scott, Ms. Larson, please carry on. I guess the netizens will be very interested in seeing you guys like this.”
Jennifer turned pale in an instant.
The man with the camera then nodded calmly at Carter and Jennifer before fleeing the scene as fast as his legs could carry him.
When Carter finally returned to his senses, he quickly climbed to the front seat and started the car. Still naked, he chased after the man.
Jennifer put her clothes on and sat quietly in the back seat. At that moment, her mind was a mess as a myriad of thoughts flooded her mind. If someone uploads unsightly photos of me again, I’m doomed.
Carter glanced at her through the rearview mirror and comforted her, “Jennifer, don’t worry. I’ll get those photos back. I won’t let you get harmed.”
Jennifer cast a glance at him and smiled wryly. “Carter, could this be retribution because I’ve fallen for you, a man I wasn’t supposed to fall for?”
Carter understood the implied meaning of her words.
I’ve played a part in everything Jennifer is going through now. Although I have no intention of making her experience all these unfair treatments, it is undeniable that I’m involved.
Carter pursed his lips in response. After a long while, he uttered, “I’m sorry.”
Jennifer lowered her head and murmured, “Put on your clothes first, will you?”
Carter took the clothes she handed to him, but he couldn’t get dressed.
Through the window, Jennifer watched the man disappear after turning a corner. Her eyes were filled with hopelessness, and she said in a sullen voice, “Don’t chase after him anymore. I don’t care if he uploads those photos. After all, that won’t be the first time something like that has happened to me. I bet I’ll have twice as much of fans after this.”
Carter stopped the car abruptly and got dressed. “Wait in the car. Don’t come out, okay?” With that, he opened the car door and rushed out of there to chase after the man with the camera.
Jennifer watched Carter quickly disappear into the residential area through the car window.
Her mouth twitched. That was most probably a man sent by Oscar. Since I’ve done something to his darling son, it’s only right that he’s trying to ruin my life. If my scandals get exposed again, I think my reputation in Tayhaven will be completely destroyed.
With that in mind, she got out of the car and left without turning back. When Carter got back empty-handed, she was already long gone.
Carter stared at the car for a long time before letting out a sigh.
After that, he went to Amelia’s house. Jolin opened the door and frowned when she saw him. “Is there anything else, Mr. Scott?”
In a cold tone, he said, “I need to talk to Amelia.”
“Boss and Mrs. Clinton are about to sleep. You may look for her tomorrow,” Jolin rejected him.
Carter rang Amelia on the phone in front of Jolin. When Amelia picked up the phone, he said, “Amelia, I’m outside your house now. Could you let me in?”
Amelia said something on the phone, and Carter passed the phone to Jolin.
Upon hearing something from Amelia, Jolin answered, “Yes, Mrs. Clinton.”
She hung up the phone, passed it back to Carter, and let him in.
While walking down the stairs, Amelia asked, “What is it, Carter?”
Carter gazed intently at her before saying in a deep voice, “Please, Amelia. Don’t let Oscar upload Jennifer’s photos.”
Amelia was puzzled. “What photos?”
Carter was having a hard time answering that question. A while later, he said, “I need to talk to Oscar.”
“He’s upstairs showering Tony.” Amelia glanced upstairs and said, “If you’re not in a hurry, just wait. Jolin and I will clean up first.”
Carter nodded.
Amelia then got Jolin to help her with cleaning up. Carter’s expression gradually turned solemn while he was looking at Amelia who was busy cleaning up.
“I’m sorry, Amelia. However, Jennifer has nothing to do with what happened to Tony. Could you stop Oscar from going after her? A woman’s reputation is important,” Carter said.
Amelia stopped cleaning abruptly and cast a confused glance at Carter. “I’m sorry, Carter. I really don’t know what you’re on about. No one said Ms. Larson was involved in Tony’s kidnapping. You guys came at us and said that.”
Carter was stumped. Does that mean we’ve just admitted to it out of guilt?
After letting out a sigh, he said, “Amelia, Jennifer and I were in the car just now, and… someone took photos of us. Apart from Oscar, I don’t know anyone else who’s capable of doing that.”
From his tone, Amelia knew what kind of photos he meant. After keeping silent for a while, she answered, “You can ask Oscar about that later, okay?”
Oscar went downstairs after putting Tony to sleep. Amelia then told him the reason Carter was there. Oscar smiled and voiced, “I didn’t do that. However, I’m happy to watch Jennifer getting her reputation destroyed.”
Carter clenched his fists and asked, “It really wasn’t you?”
“I’m an upright person. I did think of doing that, but it seems like someone has already done it for me. Now, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.” Oscar shrugged.
Carter pursed his lips. “Sorry for the disturbance.” With that, he turned around and left.
Amelia then turned toward Oscar and asked, “Oscar, was it you?”
“No.” Oscar caressed her cheek and replied, “I’m good at destroying someone I don’t like. However, I wouldn’t use the same trick twice.”
Amelia nodded and chose to believe Oscar.
Oscar gently bit her earlobe and whispered, “You’ve had a long day. Go and shower, okay? I’ll give you a massage.”
Amelia blushed and hit his chest playfully before saying to Jolin, “Jolin, you may leave now.”
Jolin nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Clinton.”
