“Since Carter needs you to do him a favor now, he’ll definitely come to see you again. I have Carter’s contacts. Call him now and ask him to come to see you.”
As Fabian said that, he walked to the toilet.
Evan put down his iPad and got up with a chuckle.
“I’ve asked him out, ” he said and looked at the time. “Twenty minutes later, Carter should be showing up in my cafe.”
Fabian stopped abruptly in his tracks. “What?”
Presently, it was g o’clock sharp. In a cafe on the corner of a street, the door with a windchime was pushed open, and then a man wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses entered the cafe.
A young and pretty waitress went up to him passionately and greeted, “Hello, are you Mr. Carter Gray?”
Carter’s gaze beneath his sunglasses darkened.
However, the waitress smiled and gestured to him politely. “The boss is in the private room upstairs waiting for you. Please go ahead.”
“Boss?” Carter was very curious about this address.
The waitress grinned and explained amicably, “Mr. Evan Laker. He’s the biggest shareholder of this cafe.”
Once she had said that, Carter understood. He did ask around and looked into Evan.
He was a fairly prestigious young master of a rich family in F Country. Although he was unrestrained and loved to have fun, he was truly a very professional and talented pediatrician.
There were a lot of elites in his family and almost all of them were specialists in their specialized field.
It was common to see a rich young master investing in a cafe to become the boss for fun.
Carter got rid of the doubts in his heart and walked upstairs.
When the waitress saw Carter walking upstairs, she walked to the entrance and locked the door quietly.
Carter only wanted to get an answer from Evan, so he was not thinking about other things at this moment.
However, when he walked to the second floor, Niamh’s cold and beautiful face immediately appeared in his line of sight.
Carter abruptly stopped in his tracks and his eyes scanned his surroundings sharply. Upon seeing that no one else was around, he slowly understood what was going on.
Evan was not here. He did not have an answer. This was just a trap.
Nonetheless, Carter was still surprised that Niamh was in F Country.
This was not a coincidence, was it?
He thought to himself and looked at the icy and calm Niamh, and then his lips curled into a smile.
“Mrs. Waldburg, your connections are really something else. I never expected that the person I long to contact is your friend.”
Carter’s tone sounded sarcastic.
“Since Evan can help you set up an appointment to see me, it means that your relationship is out of the ordinary.”
“ I’ve only met him a few times and we’re not that close. He only asked you out for me out of kindness.”
“Kindness?” Carter was smiling wider now. “But I don’t think there’s anything we can talk about now.”
After saying that, Carter turned around to leave.
“Carter, where did you hide my daughter?” Niamh asked straightforwardly.
Carter stopped in his tracks. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He denied, betraying no changes in his expression. “What do I have to do with your missing daughter?”
Niamh slowly stood up. “Carter, since I’m here, you should know that I didn’t come to joke around with you.”
Niamh walked behind Carter with a stern expression.
“Where are you hiding my daughter? You’re an adult in your 2os and you’re bullying a five -year- old girl? What the hell is this?”
Carter was still playing dumb to Niamh’s questions.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I don’t know why you’re here in F Country. I also have no idea about your daughter.”
Upon seeing that Carter was still denying it, Niamh decided to be direct and said, “Fabian and Evan are best friends.”
Carter’s solemn face started to change. His gaze became dark as well.
Fabian and Evan were best friends?
He never would have guessed this. At one point, he was even suspecting whether Niamh was lying. However, this seemed to be the truth.
If this was not the truth, Niamh would not be standing here claiming that he took away her daughter with such confidence.
“Carter, we’re all adults, so you don’t have to beat around the bush.”
“Alright, I won’t,” Carter finally admitted.
As he spoke, he turned around, and his sharp and deep black eyes were staring straight at Niamh.
“Eveline, you want to see your daughter, don’t you? I can make an exchange with you.”
Niamh furrowed her charming eyebrows. “What do you want from me?”
“Since you know Fabian and Evan, then it’ll be easy. Get Evan to promise me that he’ll ask his father to heal Shirley, then I’ll give your daughter back to you.”
Carter voiced such a request for the exchange.
Niamh chuckled softly. “Evan and I are just strangers coming together by chance. I can’t convince him, nor do I have the ability to convince his father.”
“You can’t, but Fabian can.” Carter’s tone was filled with absolute confidence.
Niamh also saw that determination in Carter’s eyes.
It was heinous of him to make Lillian the term for the exchange, but at the same time, it also showed how much he cared about Shirley.
“What do you think. Eveline? Do you need time to consider?” Carter’s tone sounded irreverent. At the present, Carter, no longer wanting to leave, walked over to the chair and sat down carefreely instead.
“I have all the time in the world, but I wonder, does your daughter have the time?”
Upon hearing Carter utter this statement that was so brazenly laced with threat, Niamh clenched her fists tightly. A few seconds later, she took a deep breath and unclenched her fists.
Niamh turned around and faced Carter who was sitting by the window.
His arrogant stone-cold expression was still the same as when she first met him, but the noble elegance was nowhere to be seen.
Presently, Carter was a prejudiced and heartless devil.
“Whether Evan agrees to save Shirley and you abducting my daughter are two separate things, Carter. Don’t mix these two things.”
“ So, Mrs. Waldburg, you’re saying that you don’t want to make this business deal with me?”
“Carter, my daughter is not your business capital. Do you know you’re breaking the law?”
“Do you think I haven’ t broken the law before? ” Carter asked Niamh back without hesitation.
His cold gaze penetrated her. “I don’t want to waste time with you. Just answer me, yes or no.”
Carter’s attitude at this moment was abnormally firm.
Niamh pressed her pink lips tightly.
“Yes.”
Suddenly, when Niamh was about to reject him, another voice came from the stairs.
Startled, she turned around to look for the source of the voice at the same time as Carter.
They saw Fabian and Evan walking upstairs one after another.
Carter’s gaze went from Fabian and finally to Evan.
“As long as you can convince your father to treat my friend, I can immediately release Lillian.”
Evan saw the absolute confidence in Carter’s eyes. Of course, it was not difficult to convince his father, the hard part was with Fabian.
“Alright, I promise you on behalf of Evan.” Fabian quickly answered that question for Evan.
“Let Lily go right now, and Evan will go back immediately to ask his father to arrange a time to treat your friend.”
