That night, Carlos didn't return to the villa.
Emily Parker saw the message from "Time" when she woke up in the morning.
The message was sent in the middle of the night. At that time, he should have been with Rainny White.
Thinking of this, Emily's heart felt like it had been stabbed hard, making her feel even worse.
She simply threw her phone aside, ignoring the message.
At breakfast, Mrs. Carter sat at the dining table, scanning the room, but didn't see Carlos' figure, a hint of confusion on her face.
"My brother didn't come home last night. Mom, you should really do something about him," Maria Carter complained before Mrs. Carter could ask.
As she spoke, she placed her spoon heavily on the plate, making a crisp sound.
"Give him a few more companies to manage, and he won't have time to hang out with those bad friends."
Maria thought of last night's news about her brother, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.
