Chapter 327: He’s Completely Foiled

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

The most important thing is lost. And, in this lifetime, it will never be recovered …

He thought that after this punishment, the anger in his heart would dissipate a lot. He told himself over and over again, fortunately did not fall in love with her, but just a little bit of heart, even more, but just not willing, things, perhaps far from what he thought it was so bad.
But, damn! Instead of feeling a little better than he just did, he was in a worse, harder mood …
Forced himself not to look in the rearview mirror, not to go to how the woman was doing, let alone think about how she was going to get out of here if he left her alone. Since he’d already said he’d never see her again, how could he get hung up on it.
From today, Jerry Xiao and Zoey Baker are just two strangers. In the future, they may even be enemies!
Stepping on the gas again, he rushed onto the viaduct without looking back. The wind rushed in through the window and hit his face, he felt painful and cool …
Especially the chest, which was empty, as if it had been ripped out of its heart …
Late at night, Zac White was awakened by a pounding on his door. He pulled open the door and was startled to see Jerry Xiao at the door.
Where was his old handsome self in such a way? On the contrary, he was so haggard that people could not bear to see him.
Zac White wasn’t stupid, he had noticed the news early this morning. So when he saw him like this, without saying a word, he pulled on his clothes and followed him out, “Come on, let’s go get a drink!”
It wasn’t until he got to the bar and saw him drinking himself to death that Zac White finally realized how important Zoey Baker, a woman, was to Jerry Xiao.
He used to think that Jerry Xiao loved Nabi Yan deeply, but when Nabi Yan left five years ago, he was not even as disheveled and despondent as this. Sitting at the bar, like a poor abandoned child, it made him, as a brother, unable to look at him.
“Hey, isn’t it just one woman? Drink this and let’s forget all about them damn it!” Zac White had another drink brought over.
Jerry Xiao poured it all into his mouth without thinking. He just wanted to get himself drunk, and when he was drunk, he would forget everything. Once he woke up, he would never remember the words ‘Zoey Baker’.
But …
His drinking capacity was damn near becoming surprisingly good at this point! He couldn’t get drunk and he couldn’t forget those three words.
“Sir, would you like us to have a drink with you?” There were two slender women carrying wine glasses, smiling over.
“Go go go, none of your business.” Zac White goes to blow those two away. jerry Xiao, however, raises his hand and hooks one of them.
“Want a drink?” The woman looked over with a big smile and stared at him.
Jerry Xiao, however, just narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly, “Getting laid?”
The woman froze for a split second, and in the next, turned around, slung both arms around his neck and rubbed her forehead seductively against his chest, “Yeah. Where are we going?”
She said, tiptoe to touch Jerry Xiao’s lips. But the unfamiliar scent, accompanied by the smell of wine, came, but he subconsciously turned his face away to avoid it. What flashed through his mind was another fresh scent. He was extremely angry and secretly cursed lowly. Was he really damned poisoned? Obviously betrayed and hurt by her, he actually still acted like a fool, being entangled in everything she did at times.
With that thought, he spun around and pinned the woman hard against the bar. He couldn’t believe that he couldn’t escape Zoey Baker’s chains. He’d at least prove that any woman other than her could too! She, for one, had never been special!
He forced himself to ignore the perfumed odor of the woman beneath him that disgusted him. But, not even waiting for further action …
Frustrated, he pushed the woman away, not knowing whether to gamble with himself or the other man, and growled an annoyed, low, “Get out!”
“Shit! You’re crazy! If you don’t lift, you don’t lift, and you’re still running around molesting people!” The woman was yelled at, and cursed in a bad mood. Originally when she pressed on herself, she felt out that this man had no reaction at all there. It seems that there is really a man with a hidden disease who came here to vent. Cut! What a waste of a good skin.
Zac White resisted the urge to burst out laughing and coaxed the woman, “Don’t get on my brother’s bad side, he’s crazy today. You guys can order whatever you want to drink, it’s all on my brother tonight.”
“Go away.” Jerry Xiao didn’t want to be here any longer. With only two words, he took the lead from the pandemonium of the bar and headed out. He had discovered the fact that he couldn’t get drunk even if he drank more tonight! He really wanted to pull a random woman and get back at her like she had betrayed him. Instead, damn it! He realized that he simply didn’t react the way he should to those women.
This time, he was completely planted!
Zac White was afraid to give him the car for fear that he would go crazy and run himself over, ending his life. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he asked, “Where to?”
Jerry Xiao leaned wearily against the passenger seat, his hand resting painfully on his brow. He didn’t want to go back to that home, or rather, that big house. There, too many memories and scents lingered that he damn well didn’t want to think about anymore.
“Take me to the drugstore first.” His head, it hurt like a crack.
Zac White gave him a sideways glance at his pale face and was shocked, “Another headache? That’s so damned! I forgot about that and made you drink so much.”
Jerry Xiao grunted, “Don’t worry, it won’t kill you.”
Looking at his disheveled appearance, Zac White tentatively asked, “I’ll take you to buy the medicine first, after buying the medicine, why don’t we go together to find Zoey Baker? Solely ask for a clarification of everything.”
“You mention those three words to me again and we won’t even be brothers anymore!” What else needs to be explained? No matter what, she had betrayed herself, and that was a fact that could not be hidden! Based on this alone, in this life, he should loathe and hate her for the rest of his life!
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m not saying anything.” Zac White made a gagging gesture. It was the first time the kid had ever said something this nasty. When he and Nabi Yan had a bad time before, he had never heard him look like this before, no matter how much he said. Looks like Zoey Baker really got played this time.
In the carriage, there was a moment of silence. The streetlights outside the window, accompanied by neon, crossed Jerry Xiao’s face. Because of the recurrence of the old disease, at this time his face looks more and more pale, the pain and suppression between the eyebrows, no clearer.
After a long interval, as if making a difficult decision, he spoke, “I’m needed back over at headquarters.”
Zac White glanced sideways. “You planning on going back to England?”
“Uh-huh.” The original purpose of coming back was, one, the Baker family group and Zoey Baker. and two, Nabi Yan.
Now Baker family side, just a little bit short of taking it abroad as usual. And Zoey Baker … failed to retaliate, and was instead played by her. This is the shame of his life! But, that is no harm. In a short while, she would regret that she had done this. As for Nabi Yan…
For her, he had only the last bit of guilt left.
“When do we leave?” Zac White asked.
“In the near future.” Jerry Xiao added, “It will be as soon as possible.”
Zac White glanced at him and nodded in agreement. It wasn’t a cop-out, it was just that whoever it was always needed a space to lick their wounds. No one could afford such an outright betrayal.
“Will it come back?” Zac White asked his brother.
“Of course.” The day he acquired the Baker family, he would be back. He cast his eyes far away from the window, without a hint of emotion rising or falling, “And, it will be soon.” .
Her head, heavy as lead, ached so much that Zoey almost immediately fainted again. She didn’t know how she woke up, just stared blankly at the ceiling, her body cold and stiff.
With not much consciousness, could feel the familiar scent of the place, the familiar surroundings. She … went home?
How she came back, she had no idea at all, only still vividly remembered the emotionless possession on the beach, and the cruel and bone-chilling farewell at the end …
Now, finally, home. But will there be room for her here?
Outside the door, the sound of two children sobbing could be faintly heard, “Grandma, when is Zoey going to wake up?”
“It’ll be quick. Be good, stop crying now. When Zoey wakes up later and hears you crying, he won’t know how sad he’ll be.”
“Well, we’re not crying!”
Zoey’s whole heart is twisted in knots.
The door, right at this moment, was pushed open from outside. Seeing her, Chen Ma was shocked and happy, “Master, ma’am, Second Miss has woken up!”
Everyone, at once, like fish in a row. The room was filled to overflowing, and Zoey could clearly see the reddened eyes of her mother and children, as well as her father’s …
Standing there, harsh and heavy look. She, the bottom of her heart tightened, moved her lips, want to say something, the room, but once again slowly step in two police.
“Ms. Baker, we’d like to take your statement.”
Zoey looked at them somewhat strangely, and then, looked at her parents beside her. Yami Hu glanced at his daughter painfully, and pushed the two children, “Chen Ma, take them out first.”
“Eh.” Chen Ma bent down to take the children, Nini and KK had red eyes and refused to leave, Yami Hu could only softly persuade them, “Be good, baby, go out and play first, the police uncle here has to work, don’t disturb them. The police uncles here have to work, don’t disturb them. Go on!”
The two children looked at Zoey , and then looked at the two majestic police officers before going out. Sam Baker looked at his daughter with a complex expression of heartache, helplessness, and disappointment. In the end, he still turned around and went out to avoid it.
All of a sudden, only Yami Hu and the two policemen were left in the whole room. Yami Hu sat down at the head of the bed and helped Zoey to get up, “Come on, can you sit up?”
The soft voice made Zoey’s nose turn sour as she looked at her mother. She thought that no one in the family would forgive her after this incident. However, things didn’t seem to be as bad as she had imagined. Yami Hu could see her daughter’s guilt and sighed deeply, “Let’s talk about those things later, for now, let’s do what’s in front of us.”
Zoey eyed the two officers suspiciously.
“Ms. Baker, you were passed out on the beach when we found you. The eyewitnesses to the play said that you showed signs of having been violated all over your body, and we’d like to find out what happened at the time.”
Hearing the police say this, Yami Hu’s tears instantly ‘snapped’ down. The family had searched for her for a whole day, but they didn’t expect to be notified by the police that they had found her on the beach. Originally, the family was still angry because of the ridiculous things she and Owen had done, but once they saw her appearance, who could still be angry?
Passed out on the beach, the whole person curled up weakly. The clothes on her body were disheveled beyond words, and even, those marks of violation were still that obvious. Whenever I think of that scene, Yami Hu feels like his heart is cut to the bone.
