Alex Brown also stood outside the door, as promised, and waited.
At the side door of the hotel, the waiter on shift was pulled by the reporter and an envelope was shoved into his hand before he could open his mouth.
“There is money and shopping cards inside, take me in, there are benefits afterwards.” The reporter had a camera around his neck and looked around as he spoke, afraid to be discovered by the Wright Family’s bodyguards.
“No, no, if you want to go in, just go to the front desk and get a room, why sneak around?”
The reporter’s face was not very good: “I’m not waiting to be thrown out if I go to get a room openly and honestly? Please help, big sister, absolutely not to involve you.”
He said, he also took out a few bills from his pocket and stuffed them to the waiter.
Money can do all things, this is indeed true. The reporter entered the hotel without any problem, and after parting with the attendant in the stairwell, he started searching and finally found Alex Brown outside the fancy meeting room on the top floor.
He originally just wanted to take a picture of Emma Rosy, and then add more fuel to the story and post it on the Internet to make himself a little hot.
He didn’t expect to have a surprise.
The reporter hid in the corner and happily took pictures of Alex Brown, who was preoccupied with the situation in the conference room and didn’t notice anything different.
Inside the conference room, two clerks and Emma Rosy sat opposite each other, their shoulder patches gleaming in the sunlight, signaling a serious atmosphere at all times.
The clerks passed over the situation at the time of the accident – Emma Rosy was not there, after all – but when the topic came to the specifics of the project and the attitude of the Wright Group, it immediately became more pointed, and eventually even involved personal life.
“Although according to the rules, your love life has nothing to do with this case, but the current network public opinion, I think you also have some understanding, so I suggest you openly and honestly about this matter, so that it is also beneficial to the direction of future investigations.”
Emma Rosy mouth quivered, the hands on the lap slowly clenched: “online rumors are all slander, I only with Alex Brown … that is, my ex-husband, we have been in contact because of the issue of daughter support. ”
The investigation is finally over and after walking out of the conference room, Emma Rosy is physically and mentally exhausted and desperately wants to flop into bed for a good night’s sleep, who knows that the clerk saw Alex Brown and actually offered to talk to him.
Alex Brown was not a party to the case, so it was up to him to decide whether or not to be questioned.
Within half an hour, he was shaking hands with the clerks in the hallway and parting ways.
As he was about to take the elevator down, he passed the stairwell and found Emma Rosy standing in the shadows, waiting.
“What did they ask you?” Emma Rosy leans back against the wall, as if it takes all her strength to fight her way up to speak.
Alex Brown walks over to her and tries to reach out to help her, but is unceremoniously avoided. The arm froze in mid-air and slowly dropped after a moment, laughing easily, “Nothing, probably just asked if I had any contact with you and why I was here.”
“How did you answer?”
“Not much contact, the kid was worried that you had to ask me to come over.” Alex Brown took a few steps forward and braced his hands on either side of Emma Rosy, trapping her in a corner in front of him, “Did you get a passable answer?”
Alex Brown is much more experienced than Emma Rosy in dealing with sensitive questions, and this is just a small matter.
But compared to his ease, Emma Rosy’s nervousness did not subside for a moment.
Raising her hand to push the man away, Emma Rosy took a few steps to the side, took a deep breath and then negotiated with him seriously: “Thank you for coming to see me, but in this situation, your presence with me will only make things worse. Can you go back first? After this is over, we’ll talk about our relationship.”
Since this morning, Emma Rosy’s intention to drive people away has been clear. Alex Brown at first played dumb, then turned into a scoundrel, and just refused to leave.
“Emma, I want to help you.” He leaned over and hugged Emma Rosy, his heart was full of pain, even overflowing from his eyes and tone: “Even if I can’t show up, let me stand behind you to give you something to lean on or not, I don’t want you to bear all this alone, you can’t hold up …”
The problem in front of her is actually more difficult than she imagined, if no one accompanies her, it is impossible for her to solve this matter unharmed.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he said, Emma Rosy still said the same thing.
“I don’t want to get anyone else involved, please go!”
He hugged Emma Rosy tightly and told her firmly, “I don’t want anything but you.”
At these words, Emma Rosy’s struggling movements gave a pause, and her heart felt as if it was being gently rubbed, sore and indescribable at the same time, accompanied by deep emotions.
If only this confession had been made when they were reunited, how wonderful it would have been. It is a pity that the timing is not right, and the rest is all wrong.
“I won’t see you again!”
Emma Rosy shouted, holding back her heart’s reluctance, fiercely pushed Alex Brown away, and then ran away without looking back.
When they fought in the past, Emma Rosy also often avoided seeing him, but in the end, she could not withstand his insistence, Alex Brown thought it would be the same this time, but he did not expect that in the following days, he really could not go near Emma Rosy again.
Fearing that he would be discovered by journalists, he visited Emma Rosy late at night, but the other side closed the door, so he had to take the risk of following her during the day and protecting her secretly.
Eric Chan couldn’t resist persuading him to go back.
“Emma and I think of each other, that’s true love, you don’t understand!”
–Get ready, I will ask you to meet in the next few days.
Alex Brown and Eric Chan were out of town, and the company’s affairs were all on Ivy Smith’s shoulders. Yesterday, she worked late into the night and woke up at sunrise, but when she opened her computer, she saw this email lying inside.
After many attempts and delays, the other party finally offered to meet, and Ivy Smith immediately called Alex Brown to ask his opinion, but only heard the beeping of the phone being turned off.
She had already heard about Alex Brown from Eric Chan, and guessed that he must be chasing Emma Rosy like a stalker again, and had no time to charge his phone.
She called Eric Chan again, but he was on the line for half an hour, probably dealing with some overseas cooperation.
The email was sent this morning, and it had been delayed for a long time, so if she didn’t respond, she was afraid that the other party would change its mind again.
–Okay, any time.
A line appeared on the screen, the woman sitting in front of the computer narrowed her eyes, satisfied, and pressed the shutdown button, and then raised her voice and called Candy Hall, who was cleaning in the living room.
“Go to this place tomorrow, meet someone, and pick up something in the process.”
Taking the note, Candy Hall mechanically turned around and walked out of the room, picked up the mop on the wall, and continued to bury her head in mopping.
Her face was pale, her cheeks deeply sunken, and her head had begun to lose its hair. Whenever she was awakened late at night by a nightmare, she would feel sore all over, and the child in her womb would no longer kick her occasionally as it once did, but was quiet and eerie, as if it had died in her womb.
How could the baby be healthy when it depended on its mother for nourishment and she lived in the shadow of self-fear all day?
She wanted to escape, but Marisa Miller’s grim face, broken eyes, and crazy yellow hair were etched in her mind, a constant reminder that there was no way out.
Gradually, even the idea of escape was worn out, and she became a puppet on a string, at the mercy of Marisa Miller.
This kind of life, may only be the end of the death …
At this time, the city of S, another radical change has taken place.
The reporter finished taking photos and secretly contacted several media and newspapers, not expecting that they were all rejected. But the more such moments, the more he has to reveal the truth, so that he can become a first-line reporter with influence!
With deep hopes for the future, he secretly registered a nickname on his website and posted photos and “details” of Emma Rosy’s rendezvous with Alex Brown on it.
After the news exploded on the Internet, the public’s anger was completely ignited, and even Emma Rosy’s personal information was exposed, as if everyone had become a messenger of justice, holding the banner of justice in their left hand, and holding a knife in their right hand, wanting to lynch her.
“Dead people are still lying in the morgue, and you have the face to date men!”
“Didn’t you claim to cooperate with the judicial investigation, and this is your way of cooperating?”
Phone calls and text messages were bombarded by justice minded netizens, Emma Rosy hid in her room, not even daring to leave the door.
After her phone was turned off and she had a moment of peace, the hotel landline rang, and she huddled in the corner, buried under the covers, shivering. But the caller was too patient, ringing non-stop tormenting her ears, her scalp tingling, and finally broke down and rushed over to answer.
“Yes! I’m a vicious woman, I’m a slut, I deserve to die! Come and kill me, come on!”
After her vociferous roar, she pressed her chest and sat weakly back on the ground, waiting for the other party’s insults and sneers.
A few seconds passed and a cold voice came over the receiver: “Miss Richard, this is Prosecutor Wang from the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Last time you and Alex Brown agreed that you had little contact with each other, so how do you intend to explain those photos circulating on the Internet?”
“I …” Emma Rosy opened and closed her lips, barely able to make a sound in her hoarse throat.
The prosecutor on the other side didn’t seem to care about her response, just said coldly, “We will re-investigate this matter” and hung up the phone.
Re-investigate?
He might as well just say that she cheated the prosecutor’s office, the judicial side no longer have trust in her.
Everyone was blaming her, it was useless to explain, it was useless to fight, even the last straw had kicked her away, what was left?
Standing in the middle of the room, she finally couldn’t help but drop the quilt to the floor, throwing her head back and screaming …
When Alex Brown arrived, the secretary was still banging on the door, but there was no response.
When Alex Brown arrived, the secretary was still persistently tapping on the door.
“How can this work? The guest is staying in the room, and if I open the door without permission, won’t I get a complaint?” The manager was a middle-aged man who had been in the business for many years, and the secretary almost knelt down and begged him, but he just wouldn’t agree.
Alex Brown threatened in a deep voice: “The photos on the Internet were taken here, and it is already a dereliction of duty on the part of your hotel not to protect the privacy of the guests, and now you are ignoring the safety of the guests. Listen carefully, if something happens to the woman inside, you and your hotel will die without a burial!”
The manager’s face changed dramatically when Alex Brown poked him in the heart.
From the first moment he saw the photos on the Internet, he recognized that the place where the photos were taken was his own hotel, and he was extremely angry because he had given a deadly order before that no staff would be allowed to let the reporters in, otherwise they would be fired directly, but he didn’t expect that someone would dare to do that.
He thought the public’s attention was attracted by Emma Rosy, no one would pay attention to this aspect, Alex Brown’ words, completely broke his fluke.
After a few turns of his eyes, he couldn’t find an excuse to shirk his responsibility, so he instantly changed his face and bowed to Alex Brown to apologize.
“Sorry Mr. Brown, I will definitely find out the traitor as soon as possible, to help you and Miss Richard !”
Now is not the time to calculate, Alex Brown cold eyes stared at him: “still not open the door?”
“Oh, yes, yes.” The manager quickly took out his spare room card.
The heavy curtains blocked out all the daylight and the room was unlit. Alex Brown entered the door and took a moment to adjust to the light before he saw Emma Rosy, who had retreated to the corner at the sound of the voice.
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, not a hair out, but her body was trembling violently, as if a small beast facing its natural enemy.
Crossing the mess on the floor, Alex Brown crouched in front of her, and before he could reach out and touch the blanket, she screamed in terror.
“Go away! Don’t come over, you stay away!”
The sharp female voice was particularly horrible in the dark room. Alex Brown’ persuasive voice was completely drowned out, and finally he could only forcefully take her into his arms, heartbreakingly reassuring: “Emma don’t be afraid, I’m Alex Brown, calm down Emma … it’s only me,…”
The woman in his arms struggled violently, the quilt gradually slipped from the top of her head, revealing a tragic white face covered with tear marks.
Alex Brown cupped her face, his eyes actually flooded with bouts of sourness, and when he spoke again, his voice became choked: “No one can hurt you anymore, with me, everything is left to me to solve.”
She has fallen off the deep end and cannot pull Alex Brown down with her. She has been abused many times before, but now for the first time she feels the horror of online violence.
Ring-ring-ring
The phone rang like a switch, piercing the most fearful place in her heart. She bounced off the floor in shock and ran around like a fly on the wall, clutching the blanket, and finally went into the bathroom, curled up in the bathtub and started shivering again.
Looking at her like this, Alex Brown’ heart seemed to split in half, hating himself for not being able to protect her and not knowing what to do to make her feel safe.
After unplugging the phone and asking Eric Chan to send a bodyguard to guard the door so no one could come in, he stepped into the tub and picked her up as he had just done, without refusal.
This time Emma Rosy didn’t struggle for too long, perhaps because her brain’s nervous system had gone on strike after a long period of high tension, and she soon fell asleep in Alex Brown’ arms, but even after she fell asleep, her brow was furrowed.
Alex Brown gently carried her back to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and changed the clean quilt to cover her, then contacted the manager and asked him to send some oral glucose solution over.
Emma Rosy was quite cooperative in her sleep, and after drinking a few glucose drops, she slept much more peacefully.
After a long time, Alex Brown woke up with a vibrating cell phone. He straightened up and took a gentle look at Emma Rosy’s sleeping face before getting out of bed and walking to the living room.
Afraid of waking Emma Rosy, he tried to keep his voice as low as possible when answering the phone, “Mr. Lee, is there a situation with Keira?”
When the kindergarten teacher called, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, and it turned out that his feeling was fulfilled.
“It’s like this, Keira’s mother’s case is so serious that many reporters came outside the school in the past two days, insisting on interviewing Keira. Such a small child, what if they are frightened, the school certainly did not agree to the reporter’s request, but they …”
The teacher was talking for half a day, just wanting to ask Alex Brown for a solution, after all, the reporters were blocking the door, the parents of other students have long had opinions.
Alex Brown said in a quiet voice: “Call the police, and keep Keira safe no matter what.” S City.
When Alex Brown returned to the bedroom, Emma Rosy was also awake, having received a call from her teacher a short time ago, and at this point she was in a panic.
