Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1702: Cooperation

Bang.

Carlotta crashed to the ground with a huge thud, feeling like all her bones were about to shatter.

Carlotta glared at the two trusted subordinates and cursed furiously, "Wow, so you two actually dare treat me like this? Have you forgotten? I’m your boss’s wife!"

The two trusted subordinates had already liked Celeste Linden to begin with. Seeing Celeste’s calm resolve and decisiveness in the face of danger, they had both decided she was the real boss’s wife.

As for this Carlotta—arrogant, domineering, and lacking in class—they had never truly regarded her as their sister-in-law in their hearts.

"The boss already said he’s done playing with you, so you’re not our sister-in-law anymore."

"I suggest you be rational and think twice before you act. Watch your mouth, otherwise whatever little bit of sentiment the boss still has for you will be gone."

With that, the two trusted subordinates left Carlotta lying there.

Carlotta sat collapsed on the ground alone, clenching her fists so hard her nails dug into her palms, yet she didn’t even feel the pain.

Just then, that elegant lady stepped out and sighed. "General’s wife, the General has treated you so well these past years. Every woman envies you, but you just had to be greedy and bring this on yourself. Ah..."

The friend next to the elegant lady said, "She’s not the General’s wife anymore. The General has abandoned her. We’d better stay away from her, or we might get dragged into trouble."

The elegant lady nodded repeatedly. "You’re right, let’s hurry and go. From now on, we’ll just pretend we don’t know her. Oh, and send someone to find out what Miss Celeste Linden likes. I’m guessing she’s going to be the new General’s wife."

Everyone left.

Carlotta’s eyes were burning red; she felt like a stray dog that had been abandoned by everyone.

She hadn’t had any close friends these past few years. She’d spent all her time playing mahjong, shopping, doing skincare, and having afternoon tea; the people she met in those circles were never true friends.

She never imagined that once the scandal broke, Ethan Barnes and Celeste Linden wouldn’t be hurt at all—instead, she was the first one to be cast aside.

She had never understood that everything she had was given to her by Ethan Barnes. For that debt of gratitude, he had once given up that mother and daughter.

Now Carlotta was consumed by hatred. She really hated them, with everything in her.

At that moment, a black luxury car sped over. The driver respectfully opened the back door, and someone stepped out, walking toward her.

Carlotta lifted her head to look at him. "Who are you?"

"My name is Samuel Barnes."

Ethan Barnes’s archrival, the international number-one drug lord Samuel Barnes, had appeared.

"Samuel Barnes, I don’t know you."

Samuel Barnes smiled. "Well, now you do, don’t you? It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is, I can help you get revenge."

"How are you going to do that?"

"I’ll make sure that faithless bastard Ethan Barnes dies with no grave to bury him in. And then I’ll deliver that slut and that illegitimate daughter into your hands, for you to deal with however you like."

Carlotta’s heart was instantly moved. She had already lost everything; the only thing on her mind now was that she would never let that happy little family of three live in peace.

The seed of hatred was planted in her heart like a raging fire, wild and uncontrollable.

"Come on, come back with me. Let’s work together." Samuel Barnes extended his hand to her, offering an invitation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Carlotta placed her hand in Samuel Barnes’s...

...

"Boss, we’ve already thrown her out, and everything here has been taken care of. Don’t worry, there won’t be any bad public opinion spreading out from this."
