Chapter 50
“There must be some misunderstanding, Peace.” Anna tried to ease the tension between them. Besides, she couldn’t believe that Karl would really do such a thing
Although she hadn’t been in this company for a long time, she knew that Karl had a good reputation. He liked to flirt with others, but she never heard that he really did something bad.
“I saw it with my own eyes. I knew he wouldn’t admit it, so I took a video.”
Seeing that Anna didn’t believe her, Peace took out her phone and played a juicy video for them.
The scene of the crime was at the backseat of the BMW behind them. In the video, the car door was half open. Karl put his arms around a woman’s shoulder, their clothes in disarray. As the camera zoomed in, they saw that Karl was going to take off his pants and that the woman suddenly struggled and shouted “Help”.
Karl was about drop his pants. “It’s..” Anna couldn’t look at it anymore. She lowered her head and put her hand on her forehead with one hand pushing Peace. She said in a low voice, “It’s enough. Stop it.”
“Hey, why do you still keep this video? Delete it.” Karl shouted furiously, “This is a violation of my privacy.”
Peace raised her eyebrows, “Violation of your privacy? You p*****t. You would’ve succeeded if I weren’t there. You think you can buy your way out of trouble and avoid being detained? I’ll beat you whenever I see you.”
“You crazy woman. You‘re talking nonsense. If you don’t stop, I’ll sue you for slander
Anna and Wayne pulled them apart since they were going to fight again.
“Okay, okay. Peace, please, ease up a bit.” Anna was extremely embarrassed now. Even if Karl was a bad guy, she would still meet him in the company. How could she face him if Peace beat him up again?
“That’s Karl’s girlfriend, Raven Snow.” Wayne explained, with one hand pulling Karl’s arm,“She’s not a passerby.”
“Girlfriend?” Anna was surprised. The atmosphere was less tense now.
“Of course she is my girlfriend. Do you think I’m crazy? What do you think I wanted to do?r**e a woman and then go to jail?” Karl shouted to Peace in sheer exasperation,“ Besides, I didn’t initiate it. It was her scheme.”
All of them were stunned.
In order to prove his innocence, Karl took out his phone to show them the photos of him and his girlfriend and reluctantly explained them how they had an ugly breakup before.
Then they finally understood him.
From Peace’s perspective, when she just went to the parking lot from the airport and was going to put her suitcase into the trunk, she saw the car opposite her was shaking. She looked at it again and heard a woman’s struggling. She took out her phone and filmed the process and captured the scene of a pretty woman being forced to lie under a man. The woman suddenly started screaming for help. Peace couldn’t ignore her, so she pulled Karl out of the car and beat him up and eventually pushed him to the airport police department.
However, it was a completely different story from Karl’s perspective.
“I have just come back from a business trip. Before that, I broke up with Raven. She said that she had something to give me, so she came to pick me up. But she suddenly started touching me in the car.
When she saw this woman, she suddenly screamed. She must have borne grudges against me because of the break-up, so she came here to set me
up.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Anna nodded. That‘s possible. On second thought, even if Karl really wants to do such an evil thing, he won‘t choose the parking lot to do it with so many people walking around and all the CCTV cameras.
“How can we be sure that she took the initiative? You said she’s your ex-girlfriend. Maybe you want to have break-up s*x with her.” Peace said in an offhand manner and gave Karl a withering look.
“You…”
“Okay, that’s enough.” Anna held Peace’s arm. She said, “Now we have made it all clear. Great. Mr. Xavier, you’re injured. You’d better go to the hospital now. I should also go back .home.”
Peace was not a fool. Although Karl didn’t look like a righteous man, she knew she did a wrong thing today, so she calmed down and stopped talking.
When Anna and Peace turned around to leave, Wayne suddenly said, “Tam is staying at my house tonight. I’ll send her to the kindergarten tomorrow.”
Anna stopped walking. This was the reason why she was in a hurry to leave just now. This was exactly what she was afraid of.
Not surprisingly, Peace smelled a possibility of gossip and didn’t want to go now. She turned around and asked, “Tam? Why is Tam at your place? What’s the relationship between you and Anna?”
“We were in the supermarket. She got your call and needed to pick you up, so she let me take care of Tam. I also got Karl’s call, sol let the butler take the children to my place.” Wayne explained expressionlessly. But the thing he said was quite interesting.
Karl was stunned. I have only been on a business trip for a month. Why does it seem that the whole world has changed? Did I mishear? Wayne looking after someone‘s kid?
“Wayne, why do you look after her kid? You two…”
On hearing this, Anna hurriedly pulled Peace to go, “Thank you for today, Mr. Wright. And for tomorrow. See you.”
Before Peace realized, she had been pushed into the car. Anna quickly climbed into the
driver’s seat and locked the door. Never had she started a car as quickly as today. In the twinkling of an eye, she had driven out of the parking lot.
“Anna, are you dating Wayne Wright?” “No. That’s nonsense.”
“Then why are you so nervous?” Peace gave her a penetrating gaze, “I haven’t asked anything yet. Why did you wanted to leave so quickly? Why do you act like this if there is nothing between you two?”
“I was afraid I would lose my job if you kept talking.” Anna glanced at her angrily, “It’s like this every time. You just beat others without figuring out what happens and let me clean up your mess.”
“Don’t change the subject.” Peace folded her arms and said expressively, “You trust him with Tammy. There must be something special between you two.”
“You’re overthinking it. I saved his son before. He is thankful to me. That’s it.”
“Well, how to thank you for saving his son’s life?” Peace fingered her jaw thoughtfully,“ I guess he wants to give himself to you to show his gratitude.”
“Oh, God. Enough.” Anna rolled her eyes, “I’m done with this topic. Believe it or not, there’s nothing between us.”
“Well great, because I find him very attractive. Can I pursue him?”
Anna’s heart lost a beat on hearing Peace’s words. She thought for a second and said,“ Go for him if you like. F.Y.I, he was born with a cold face. I’m afraid you’ll only get the cold shoulder no matter how passionate you are. With that hot temper of yours, you will give up on the first day.”
Peace eyeballed her and didn’t make any comments about Anna’s kind advice. Then she suddenly blinked and said seriously, “Anna, according to the theory of behaviorism, the fact that you hesitated for a few seconds just now means that you want to refuse me. And then you kept talking after that only to cover up your real thoughts deep in your heart. You do have a crush on him.”
