" The push made Lauren stumble back . On reflex , she lifted her hand and smacked Adrian across the back . She lost it and snapped , " Ungrateful little brat ! I gave birth to you ! " Adrian was knocked to the floor , but he didn't cry . He just glared up at her , defiant and silent . Arielle quickly pulled him into her arms and choked out a scream , " Dad ! Dad !

" The moment Lauren heard her call for help , her senses snapped back into place . She crouched in a rush to pacify the kids . " Sweeties , I didn't mean it . I'm sorry ...

At Scott Group , Louie wasn't expecting a visit from Carter . But after giving it a thought , he figured out why . " What brings you to my office today , Mr. Jamison ? " " Answer one question for me , and I'll hand over the business of any three facilities you choose within the tri - state area . " Carter hadn't gone home . He had come straight to Scott Group from the postpartum recovery center . He thought that Rhea had gotten a little too full of herself after making a few business connections . Now , it seemed that she was treating people like dirt and humiliating Lauren like that .

There was no way he would let her keep getting away with it . Louie smiled . " That's quite generous of you , Mr. Jamison . " He figured that this must have something to do with Rhea . " Ask away , " he said . " If I know the answer , I'll tell you . " Carter's gaze turned dark and menacing . " How long have Rhea and George known each other ? " 1/3 Chapter 108 +25 BONUS Technically , this wasn't the kind of question he should be asking Louie . If word got out that Rhea had betrayed him , Louie's style of doing business meant that the gossip would be spread everywhere by tomorrow .

Louie paused . " I wouldn't know . " Naturally , he knew . After all , George had mentioned that Rhea was just like his sister . As for how that happened , he neither knew nor cared to ask . " I'll throw in two more hospital partnerships for Scott Group . " Carter stared Louie down . " Just tell me how long they've known each other . " Louie was tempted , but he also knew that there were people he just shouldn't cross . " Mr. Jamison , wouldn't it make more sense to ask your wife directly ? I really don't know . " Carter sat down , lit a cigarette , and gave a dry laugh .

" I heard that your sister's in talks to marry a member of the richest family in Ritburgh . My parents had quite the connection with them back in the day . " Louie's face darkened . " Mr. Jamison , there's no need to threaten me . I really don't know . What do you want me to say ? Make up a lie just to fool you ? " Carter's gaze had turned dangerous as he exhaled a puff of smoke . " Fine . " He stood up and headed for the door . Louie frowned , then suddenly called after him , " Carter . " Carter stopped but didn't turn around . Louie said , " I'd advise you not to dig into this any further .

" Carter turned back , a sharp glint in his eyes . " Why not ? " " You already have Lauren. So why do you care how long Ms. Ravelle and Mr. Snider have known each other ? " " That's none of your concern . " Carter walked out without saying another word . As soon as he was gone , Louie pulled out his phone and called Rhea . " Ms. Ravelle ? " " Yes , Mr. Scott ? " " Carter just left my office . He came to ask me how long you've known Mr. Snider . You might want to keep your guard up . " 2/3 Chapter 108 This was all Louie could do as he knew better than to cross George .
