The Devil's Love For The Heiress

Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Exhibition Match

“What are you doing here? I said I wouldn’t cause any more trouble for you.” Monet asked, seeing Carlos at her door, together with police officers and his usual bodyguards.

“You promised not to cause trouble anymore, but you did not own up to everything.” Carlos answered. Even while he was still strolling with crutches, he made it a point to see Monet.

“What – what do you mean?” Monel asked, her voice trembling as she replied She earnestly hoped no one had learned about her involvement with Nolan. It had been weeks since Nolan’s arrest was aired on TV. Thus, Monet hoped no one made the connection between her and the pharma CEO

“It was you who ordered Venice to poison Catrina, and thus, take responsibility for it!” Carlos revealed. * While you were good at hiding your tracks, sadly, Nolan was too confident. He had all of your conversations saved on his phone. You colluded with him to bring me down?”

Monet, “!!!”

“if you had told me then, I would not have been injured! You are also part of his schemes, and thus, you are an accomplice!” Carlos resumed.

“I did not take part in it! It was only the designs, I swear – Monet cried out. “Please, Carlos Please

What about the poisoning? You also have to take responsibility for that!” Carlos reminded, “You must also pay for the damages. Catrina’s hospitalization!”

The authorities learned Venice was using a different name through Nolan’s phone. With Eihan’s connections, Venice’s whereabouts were eventually established. Venice confessed to how Monet instructed her to poison Catrina It wasn’t just stealing the designs after all

After ensuring that Monet was made accountable for the poisoning incident, the police went after Tyler He was taken into custody immediately

At the police station, Carlos and Kate spoke to Tyler From inside the police interrogation room. Carlos berated, You could have stayed away. Your schemes with Halley were never enough to lock you up. but now, you have conspired with Nolan by pointing him out who to approach amongst the US Open investors. You knew his plans, and thus, you can’t escape being put behind bars this time. Even if you fight

“I’ll give you money!” Tyler suggested. He hissed, recognizing they had learned everything from Nolan’s arrest. He never expected it. Because Carlos acted much later, he thought he had gollen away with getting linked with Nolan “I only told him who he could bride.”

“But you knew what he was planning to do! And you did not stop him! Not only that, you helped mislead us. You are partly responsible for my injury!” Carlos Shol back. “You were aiding and abetting his crimes!”

Carlos and his legal team were unsure if they had enough to charge Tyler for aiding and abetting but The Devil certainly wanted to teach him a lesson. It wasn’t about money. Carlos was tired of Tyler getting Involved in breaking him and Kate apart.

Next to Carlos, Kate sllently listened to The Devil. When he was done scolding Tyler, Kate spoke, Tyler, will your heart always hold a grudge over the past? We never caused you any harm. If you are angry because of your failed tennis career, isn’t success in tennis all about skill and perseverance? You failed because of your own lack of dedication. Don’t blame it on us.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

We are angry at you, but we know there is no stopping you from coming back at us again Should there be another capable person to try to break Carlos and me apart, will you be in on 11,1007 These conspiracy charges may only keep you locked up for a few years, given that you will be found guilty

“1 hope you’ll reflect on your mistakes. Regardless if you are found liable to the charges or not,” kate cautiously said before standing up and walking away with Carlos

The ride back to the mansion was awfully quiet for the couple. Noticing how Kate was in deep thought, Carlos held her hand and said, “I’m sorry. You should have just stayed behind.”

“No, I wanted to talk to him. I also wanted to talk to Nolan, but I understand it’s not convenient to travel yet,” kate said, recalling how Nolan was held in Washington. There is no assurance that we won’t have any more haters or people who would try to break us apart”

With a sigh, she added, “It doesn’t help that you are a superstar and many girls are out there who want to be with you.”

“Nolan wasn’t after me,” Carlos pointed. “You should try to be less friendly with the rest of the male population.”

Kate laughed. She replied, “I’ll work on that, but you know what? The best way to kill their hopes is for us to get married.”

Carlos fell silent He said, “I had planned to propose to you after the US Open.”

What’s stopping you now? Kate asked.

“I can’t get down… on one knee,” Carlos revealed “You know how I have this tendency to want perfection.”

Kate laughed at his answer, and she went al it for seconds. She recalled how he wanted his proposal to be perfect, but she supposed his accident held his plans completely. Whatever it was She wished she knew.

“Give me… a few more days when I am out of this orthopedic boot, I will surprise you.” Carlos revealed.

“I don’t know how you will surprise me when I know one day you will propose!” Kate said back She looked at the compartment pendant and demanded, “Can you just give that to me?

Carlos just smirked and claimed, I’ll still try to surprise you who knows? Just wait and see. And how would you know what’s inside this pendant? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You are assuming too much – Ouch!”

Kate punched him in the arm.

Two weeks passed

“Corpe on! You can do it!” Kate encouraged as she and Carlos wandered around the mansion. They were having their early morning walk while in their sports attire,

Carlos occasionally took off his orthopedic boot, and with mild walking, he was Irying to put weight on his left leg, testing its tolerance.

The Devil was limping as he made his stroll, his face frowning whenever he felt pain. His target was Kale. who was moving each time he achieved his sleps. He laughed, saying. You are a moving finish line.”

Kate giogled and declared, “I need you to freaking bend with one knee soon enough!”

A laugh escaped Carlos’ lps. He returned to his task and took four more steps, all while bearing the pain When he finally reached Kale, he hugged her.

Kate caressed his back, saying. You are doing such a good job. I’m so proud of you.”

Carlos pecked on Kate’s forehead and suggested, “Thank you, Kale, for being my constant therapy companion Let’s walk again this afternoon?

Kate nodded. She checked her time and suggested, “It’s time for your leg massage. Let’s head back.”

LE

After Carlos had his left leg massage, the couple went straight to the dining table for their breakfast. As they ate, Alexander arrived, announcing. “It’s set up, man!” “What’s set up?” Kate asked.

Carlos hesitated, but seeing that Alexander had spilled for him, he admitted, “Alex and I will have an exhibition match next week in New York, the same stadium for the US Open.”

Kate’s mouth fell to the floor. She pointed out, “While you are in an orthopedic boot? You haven’t even practiced running!”

“It’s a free exhibition match between Alex and me. They won’t get mad if I don’t play seriously. I’m sure my fans will understand,” Carlos suggested. “And you’ll come with me because I need you to be there in case my ankle hurt during the match.”

“I don’t like it. I am happy that you are trying your best to get back on track, and trust me, I am your number one supporter, but it’s too soon. You’break those ligaments again!” Kate complained.

“It will not be a serious match. It’s like an appearance show,” Carlos suggested, and Alexander echoed the same.

“What kind of match is not serious?” Kate asked, bemused.

This one!” Both Alexander and Carlos said at the same time, and they laughed.

Kate groaned. She just wanted Carlos to learn how to flex his limb first, but what was he thinking scheduling a match when he could not even run?
