Chapter 300
“We had to join your family for every important occasion and celebration, and whenever I ran out of money, you’d get it from them. Whenever your parents see me, they’d tell me to never let you down, all while they stared at me with concerned looks. I’m a man, you know? I’m the man in this relationship!” Johnson growled as he smacked his chest in extreme agitation 2
Gigi was shocked and transfixed, her expression bewildered at his outburst. All these years, Johnson would visit her parents on every important occasion. Gigi would always feel blessed and lucky for that, and she would give up everything for him. Little did she expect that this was how Johnson truly felt under that façade of his!
Their daughter had never seen her father so furious. Terrified, she curled up in Gigi’s arms.
At that moment, Johnson’s phone rang. He answered the call and was instantly greeted with his assistant’s report, “Scarlet is suing a hundred million out of you for fraud. The police officers are coming t o the hospital as we speak.”
Johnson’s face morphed in displeasure as he marched away. He had no intention to even talk to Gigi.
Motionlessly, Gigi watched as Johnson left the ward, and silent tears rolled down her cheeks.
Meanwhile, at RisingHawk…
After Charmine dispersed the crowd and asked for the cars to be repaired, she went back to her office. She stared at Wendy with suspicion as she began, “May I know what brought Ms. Morrison here?”
“Mr. Bailey sent me here. He’s very thoughtful about it. Whoever came to deal with this situation might be harmed, but since I’m pregnant, l’d get to say anything without provoking anyone,” explained Wendy. 1
Admittingly, Anthony’s speculation was correct. Although the vandals were paid to carry their deed, they upheld justice and detested third-wheelers. How, then, would they have the heart to attack a pregnant lady?
Charmine frowned. Mr. Bailey? So, it was Anthony…
Wendy continued, “Mr. Bailey made me come out, and he even sent out hundreds of his staff to help search for that specific recording among others much earlier than you did. He’s very nice to you and respects you dearly. My friend, do treasure this man.” Wendy patted Charmine’s shoulder and gave a suggestive wink before she left.
Charmine’s face turned pink as a strange feeling blossomed in her heart. Although Johnson and Scarlet met up often in the company, they would still call each other for hours even when they went home. There were at least a thousand phone records over the years. Some of the calls were longer while some were shorter, and their topics were mostly unrelated. In order to pick up useful evidence from the conversations, they had to listen repetitively up to three times, and that was why her people failed to find anything despite working overnight.
Had Anthony not helped out, Charmine might only find the evidence the following day. She had told him t o not get involved in her business, yet Anthony still helped her out silently… Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Charmine’s eyes turned solemn and thought at the thought of all the help Anthon had given her. If it was not because of the incident five years ago, she would not hesitate to make him a bunch of kids!
Unfortunately, Charmine needed to end the turmoil in her…
Charmine could only thank him. She turned to Rio and Eric. “Take care of the company, and take care of Scarlet. I might be busy in the next two days.”
“Don’t worry. You’ve solved the big problems, so let me handle the small cases! I’ll be alright!” Rio patted his chest.
Charmine left after that.
As he watched Charmine leave, Eric thought of the retired Wendy and his gaze darkened. It seemed that Anthony Bailey had helped Charmine. Was Charmine ready to love once more?
