Chapter 74 : A Single Man and a Single Woman
Eugene and I were identifying the murderer at the police station, Dean and Jacqueline were waiting nervously in the office lobby.
I saw Jacqueline ‘s brother Yuan Haoran, I couldn’t help but break out in a sweat. The way he looked at me was so fierce, and the hatred and malice bursting from his eyes made people afraid to approach him.
Eugene made a simple record in front of me. When we were about to leave the hut, Yuan Haoran suddenly yelled at me through the iron railings: “People like you will not die well! You ruined my sister! I will not let you go!”
Obviously, he seemed to have a big misunderstanding of me.
Eugene stretched out his left hand, grabbed my shoulder, and pushed me out. My heart was pounding and I could hardly breathe.
When the roar disappeared, the atmosphere in the office hall was obviously much more lively. Although people kept coming here to report or make trouble, it was still a lot more relaxing than having to endure Yuan Haoran’s threats in the quiet room just now.
Eugene and I were about to leave the police station, and at this moment, Dean came running over with Jacqueline . They had been waiting for Eugene and me in the rest area , hoping to get Eugene ‘s pardon.
Dean stood in front of Eugene humbly and pleaded, ” Mr. Johnson , Jacqueline ‘s brother’s crime does not deserve the death penalty. Can you be magnanimous and give him a lighter sentence…”
Eugene seemed to have lost his patience with Dean . He said angrily for the last time, “I’ve already said that this matter is up to Candice to decide.”
After that, Eugene walked around Dean and walked out of the compound. I hurried to catch up, but Dean pulled me hard from behind and said anxiously, ” Candice ! Are you so cruel? Yuan Haoran didn’t kill anyone. Besides, he didn’t hurt you! Do you have to…”
I interrupted him right away, “Don’t argue. If it weren’t for Eugene last night , I would have been in the coffin by now! Eugene’s arm was cut so big to save me, and now he can’t work normally. Who do you think suffered the most in this matter? I’m afraid that your lifetime income will not be as much as Eugene ‘s benefit in one hour!”
I turned around and was about to continue walking forward, but Dean held me tightly. This time, his tone was relatively calm, “Then tell me, what exactly do you need to do to let Yuan Haoran go? What exactly do you need to do to make Eugene calm down? Money? Or something else? As long as you say it, I can definitely do it!”
Dean is right to say this. His mind is full of interests and money, and he smells like money from the inside out!
I shook off his hand and stood straight in front of him. At this time, Jacqueline was hiding behind Dean with a fierce look in her eyes. She stared at me without saying a word, waiting for Dean to help him deal with it.
I smiled and said, ” Dean , I have to say, this is the first time I see you working so hard for others! When we got married, you were not so attentive! The mistress is worthy of being a mistress . I admire you for being able to use my husband so humbly!”
Dean suppressed his anger and said nothing, but Jacqueline behind him could no longer stand. She took a step and said in a low voice with gnashing teeth, “I’m not as good as you. I can actually make Eugene , who is so high and mighty , speak for you. I don’t know what kind of bewitching means you used to get into the boss’s bed…”
I knew she was trying to provoke me, so I pretended not to get angry and fought back with a wry smile, “Yes, I am really honored to be recognized by your mistress Yuan ! Unfortunately, the difference between our two in choosing men is too big. What about you…” I looked at her and Dean with contempt , “You chose a junk stock that I don’t want, and I chose the CEO of a group that you can’t afford.”
I laughed out loud, “That’s probably the difference between us!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jacqueline was about to hit me. I stood up to her and shouted, “Go ahead and hit me! Beat me half to death! That way I can make you and your brother eat jail food together!”
Jacqueline was choked by me and was speechless, and Dean was the same, not daring to do anything rash to me.
I took a step back and said calmly, “Well, you guys want to save Yuan Haoran, right? Since Yuan Haoran’s life and death depends on me, I will make a request. It’s not too much. As long as you can agree to it, I will let Eugene reduce the punishment for Yuan Haoran.”
Dean asked very unconfidently: “What request…”
I smiled and said, “Tomorrow morning, as soon as you get to the company, you take a pen and come to my office to find me. We’ll sign the divorce agreement and our deal will be done.”
There was a flicker of reluctance in Dean ‘s eyes. I knew he didn’t want to agree, but the current situation didn’t allow him to make the decision at all.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
After leaving the police station, I got into Eugene ‘s car. Eugene sat in the passenger seat and looked at me impatiently and said, “Are all you women so slow?”
I buckled my seatbelt and shook my head. “Who told you to give me such a privilege? You also said that Yuan Haoran’s life and death is up to me. Now Dean wants to kneel down for me.”
Eugene snorted and laughed, “So you’re mad at Jacqueline , saying that you’re better at hooking up with men than she is?”
I turned my head with cold sweat on my head, “You… you heard everything just now…” I shook my head hurriedly, “Don’t get me wrong! I didn’t say I was trying to hook you, I did that just to piss off Jacqueline !”
Eugene leaned back in his seat nonchalantly, “Stop talking nonsense and drive.”
I sent Eugene back to the villa and parked the car, I planned to take the subway home. But before I was ready to leave, Eugene stretched out his left hand and grabbed my collar. I shrank my neck and stood still, and asked carefully: “Um… is there anything else?”
He bowed slightly and whispered in my ear: “Didn’t you say you would be my right hand?”
I laughed guiltily twice, “Haha… well… don’t you have David at home …”
He continued with a hint of sarcasm: “It’s inconvenient for the elderly to use it.”
It’s inconvenient for the elderly to use?
The more I think about this sentence, the more creepy it seems!
I laughed with a trembling voice and said, “Hahahaha… then I’ll make dinner for you before we leave?”
He had no intention of letting me go, and he carried me into the house with great strength. As we walked, he said, “Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You can do whatever you want.”
I cried with a depressed face, “Yes, yes, yes… I will repay you well, repay you well…”
After entering the house, there was no one at home. Kim was still at Shirley ‘s house, and David had gone back to his hometown on a temporary leave.
Eugene and I in the huge three-story villa. I don’t know where Jackson , who used to come and eat and stay with us , has gone. I really miss him now. After all, it ‘s so awkward for Eugene and I to live under the same roof as a single man and a single woman!
