Chapter 300: Chapter 293

Rainny White was caressing those haute couture pieces, a look of reluctance to let go on her face. Upon hearing Yuriko’s words, she quickly nodded.

"I’ve known Brother Carter for many years, he treats me like... a sister."

Hearing that, Yuriko couldn’t help but show a pleased expression.

"Then could you arrange a private meeting with him for me later? I have something important to discuss with him. I’m sure Junior President Carter and I will have a pleasant conversation."

Yuriko said with a smile.

Rainny White hesitated for a moment.

She liked Carlos, and certainly didn’t want him to be alone with other women.

"I honestly just want to collaborate with the Carter Clan, and I heard that Junior President Carter hasn’t had an easy time lately. If this project goes through, it would certainly be beneficial for him in the future."

As she spoke, Yuriko glanced at Rainny White once more; she had seen many women like Rainny who coveted vanity.

Upon hearing that she could help Brother Carter, Rainny White’s eyes lit up instantly.

She always wanted to prove to Brother Carter that she was better than Emily Parker, that she was young, beautiful, and a prestigious university graduate. f.r e\(e)(l).c om

If she could help Brother Carter secure the collaboration project with Coco this time, she could prove to the Carter Family that she is a worthy assistant.

"Alright, I’ll go find Brother Carter now."

Rainny White said as she carried those haute couture outfits and walked out.

Yuriko’s lips curled into a smile of a plan well executed...

At Carlton Grand Hotel, as the elevator doors on the ground floor opened, Rainny White, dressed in a COCO outfit, approached.

"Brother Carter! I have something important to discuss with you alone."

Carlos turned his head to look at Emily Parker beside him,

"Say it here if you have something to say."

Rainny White bit her lower lip, "It’s something very important about the Coco collaboration project."

She glanced meaningfully at Emily Parker,

"I will only say it to you alone."

"Speak if you want, or don’t." Carlos’s voice was cold and icy.

"Just five minutes!" Rainny White’s eyes reddened with urgency, "It really is something important..."

"Go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the tearoom."

Emily Parker nodded; she had just had someone gather information about Yuriko’s work achievements at Coco over the years and needed to evaluate it properly.

Carlos had no choice but to go up to the presidential suite on the top floor with Rainny White.

Rainny White opened the door slightly and stepped aside for Carlos to enter. Just as Carlos walked in, he heard a "click"— the door was locked behind him.

He turned around.

Near the suite door, Yuriko stood in seductive negligee, looking down, one could see quite a view.

Her red lips curled into a smile.

"Junior President Carter, long time no see."

As she spoke, she entwined her pale arms like vines around Carlos’s shoulders and clung to him like a conjoined twin.

She had been burning a bewildering incense in the room. The young and accomplished Junior President Carter, tall and handsome, had been coveted by her for a long time.

"Madam Yuriko."

Carlos stood motionless at the door, his eyes cast downwards, thick lashes casting a sharp shadow,

"Is this how COCO treats its guests?"

Yuriko turned around, the silk robe slipping off her shoulder with the movement,

"Why so serious, President Carter? If you stay..."

Her fingers, painted with bright red polish, caressed Carlos’s tie,

"COCO can sign immediately."

Carlos caught her wrist forcefully, "Conduct yourself with dignity."

"Pretending to be a righteous man?"

Yuriko’s expression suddenly turned harsh as she tugged open the robe’s belt fiercely,

"Didn’t you send a male model to my bed last time?"

"That was my secretary’s form of hospitality."

Carlos flung her hand away, so forceful it made her stagger backward, falling sitting on the floor. (w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m

"I also have my way of hospitality."

He forcefully pulled open the suite door, and Rainny White was just about to knock with a tray of champagne. She froze in place, the crystal glasses on the tray reflecting the disarray inside the room— Yuriko, disheveled, fell amongst the rose petals, while Carlos stood at the door, not a hair out of place.

"Brother Carter, you..."

Rainny White’s voice trembled,

"How could you do this to Miss Yuriko?"

"Shut up."

Carlos’s gaze was sharp as a knife,

"Did you conspire with her against me?"

The tray in Rainny White’s hand clattered to the ground,

"I, I was doing it for your good! If we could secure COCO, the board would..."

"Would what?"

Carlos approached step by step,

"Rainny White, it’s not your place to worry about me."

Rainny White was cornered, her back hitting the cold wall,

"Emily Parker will only drag you down, I can help you, I’m just helping you."

"What qualifications do you have to compete with her? You’re not even worth one strand of her hair. I don’t want to see you again."

Carlos stormed past her.

Rainny White was struck as if by lightning.

Did she really make Brother Carter angry?

Is he really done with her?

She trembled as she reached towards her abdomen— there was still one last card to play.

"You’ll regret this."

She murmured to herself, staring at Carlos’s departing figure,

"Once the child is born..."

Before Rainny White finished speaking, a ruckus erupted behind her— it turned out Miss Yuriko, in a fit of rage, smashed everything in the suite.

"Carlos, you dare to reject my toast? You will know the power of Yuriko. I will join with other brands to boycott the Carter Clan."

Yuriko’s heavily made-up face was now smeared, her expression twisted with rage.

If she couldn’t have him, then she’d destroy him.

In the tearoom, Emily Parker was reviewing the financial reports of COCO’s Asia division from the past two years.

Then, a news alert suddenly popped up on her phone.

"COCO announces termination of cooperation with the Carter Clan, turning to Grand Sphere Department Store! Several international brands announce they will no longer work with the Carter Clan. The Carter Clan’s stock price falls 5%..."

Emily Parker casually opened the news.

"Yuriko just posted on Twitter..."

On the screen was a photo Yuriko just posted— Carlos’s figure in the hotel suite, with the caption [Some people pretend to be serious but are actually beasts in human clothing].

Emily Parker grabbed the sofa armrest, about to stand up.

The elevator dinged and opened, and Carlos walked out.

He saw Emily Parker’s pale face and immediately reached out to support her: "What’s wrong?"

Emily Parker opened her mouth to speak but first caught a whiff of a strange scent.

Her brow furrowed instantly.

Carlos’s breathing was also slightly erratic.

He had just inhaled a lot of the incense in the room when he entered.

He sensed something was wrong immediately.

But his self-control was formidable, so he forced himself to walk out of the room and all the way down, with only one thought in mind, to find Emily Parker and get out of there.

Seeing Emily Parker now, he felt his tensed nerves finally relaxing.

"I’ll take you to a small clinic first."

Emily Parker was too concerned about the news content to notice; was Carlos poisoned?

The two hurriedly left Carlton Grand Hotel.

At the same time, Yuriko’s news was spreading online at a frightening speed.
