Joe Wright was in the office to talk about something, the strange phone call came in subconsciously refused to answer, but did not expect the other party persistent bombardment, had to frown to answer.
“Joe, is that you? Save us, I know I’m wrong, for the sake of the child, give me another chance, okay?
Hearing Candy Hall’s voice, Joe Wright immediately grimaced, coldly shouted: “You still dare to contact me?”
“I’m sorry Joe, I really know I’m wrong!”Candy Hall emotionally excited, trembling voice of a strong fear: “You can save me out, after giving birth to a child you kicked me out or, please …”
Joe Wright sneered, meaningful back: “Well, you come back to Wright Family, see how I ‘save’ you!”
The word “save” was deliberately aggravated, full of threats, and then he hung up the phone in annoyance and slammed it on the sofa.
Emma Rosy, sitting next to him with the contract book, witnessed his shocking behavior and finally came back to her senses, asking afterwards, “Whose phone is that?”
“Hmph!” Joe Wright hooked up his lips, but his eyes were cold to the core, “Someone you would never expect – Candy Hall!”
Emma Rosy thought carefully, but felt that Candy Hall’s reaction that day did not seem to be fake, out of caution, but urged Joe Wright to call back.
He couldn’t resist her, so Joe Wright went to the sofa, leaned down and picked up the phone, and opened the call log with a sullen face.
Waiting for a few moments in the long beep, until Joe Wright was about to lose patience, the other party finally answered.
“Hello!” The voice that rang out from the receiver was clearly not Candy Hall.
Joe Wright was alerted: “Who is this?”
“Beep beep beep …,” Joe Wright said, and the phone was immediately hung up.
In the ward, Marisa Darcyslammed the phone against the wall in anger, and then picked up Candy Hall’s collar and said viciously: “You dare to contact Joe Wright, what, you also want to deal with me?
She didn’t expect Marisa Darcyto come back so soon, and she didn’t expect Joe Wright to call her again. Candy Hall was so frightened that her face turned pale and her brain raced under the tension, finally finding a reasonable excuse.
“I don’t know, he might … want to see the baby!”
At that, Marisa Miller’s ruthless face eased, but still unsure, sternly pressed: “You had contact with him before?”
The line of sight crossed from the broken phone in the corner, Candy Hall swallowed and blatantly lied: “Yes … he found out my number and took the initiative to ask me about … and the baby, but I was afraid he would try to trick me back, so I never …”
It looks like Joe Wright still cares about the bitch and the kid, whether it’s true or not, it’s always okay to gamble!
Marisa Darcychanged her previous angry face and revealed a smile more frightening than that: “Leave it to me, I promise to get you back to the Wright Family in peace and to take back all that was lost!”
“What?!” Candy Hall’s heart shook and asked incredulously in return, “You’re sending me back?”
Marisa Darcyput her arms around her chest and looked confident: “Don’t worry, I have a way to make the Wright Family trust you again.”
“But …”
Candy Hall pursed her lips and wanted to retort that she was already hated by Joe Wright and that there was no possibility of turning the tables, but finally chose to remain silent.
It’s good to take a gamble, even for the sake of the child’s future, we have to fight!
“Hello!”
“Who is this?”
The call was recorded in just two seconds, and Joe Wright listened to it several times, but couldn’t figure out who the familiar female voice belonged to, while Emma Rosy took the phone and listened only once, and her eyes widened.
“Marisa Miller!” Emma Rosy handed the phone back to Joe Wright and slowly sat back down on the sofa, her face becoming more and more serious: “Her voice, I can never hear wrong.”
After the reminder, Joe Wright also clarified, followed by a strong anger.
“That woman really has no good intentions, colluding with Marisa Miller, must be to get back at you and the Wright Family! The snake hearted women!
Compared with Joe Wright’s agitation and indignation, Emma Rosy seemed very calm, she always felt that she could not be wrong, at that time in the hospital, Candy Hall was really begging her for help.
After considering for a long time, she shook her head and advised, “Don’t be so quick to judge, maybe Candy Hall was controlled by Marisa Miller, and Marisa Darcywanted to use her hand to do evil?”
“Then what about the phone call she just made? Did Marisa Darcyforce her to make the call, too?”
“From Marisa Miller’s reaction, she should not know that Candy Hall made the call, otherwise why would she make a sound to expose herself?”
“This is also part of their plan!”
“You’re being arbitrary …”
“You’re the one who thinks the human heart is too simple!”
They siblings inexplicably argued, and after noticing that each other’s voices were getting louder, they looked away in embarrassment.
After a long time, Joe Wright said slightly self-deprecatingly.
“You see, just a phone call, almost let you and I fall into the trap.
Marisa Miller’s mind is meticulous and vicious, must be very careful.”
Emma Rosy nodded: “I totally agree with you about Marisa Miller’s plot, but Candy Hall and the child in her belly … are after all two human lives that should be saved no matter what.
Joe, if we treat human lives like dirt, then what’s the difference between us and Marisa Miller?”
A good person is not just a person who has done many good deeds, but always has a good heart.
“Suit yourself. I won’t save her, but if you make a move, I’ll certainly protect you.” This was the biggest concession he could make.
Emma Rosy smiled and was left with only a bitter smile.
After half a day of talking, the result was still the same.
She was not familiar with Candy Hall, and there had been a lot of unpleasantness, whether Candy Hall could trust her was still unknown. Unlike Joe Wright, Candy Hall did not know that he had already suspected the child’s origin, and would trust him more if he had the child as a bargaining chip.
The next day.
Randall Harrah, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, returned from abroad, and just got off the plane, he ran to Brown Group to deliver the latest news.
TIEN had signed a letter of intent with a major player in the industry, and the contract would be signed within half a month, making TIEN famous and becoming a leading multinational company in Europe.
Everything was expected by Alex Brown, but he couldn’t contain his joy when he heard it from Randall Harrah.
“TIEN’s success is also a satisfactory explanation for me to Emma, but don’t disclose this matter yet, I will surprise her when the time comes.”
Randall Harrah nodded and leaned forward, his expression was a rare serious: “Didn’t you ask me to pay more attention to the Brown Family’s uncle who lives abroad? Recently, there seems to be some movement on his side, it is said to have sent undercover agents to plant in TIEN.”
“Oh? After so many years of persistence, he finally can’t hold back?” Alex Brown hooked his lips in a meaningful way.
His distant uncle Ben Brown, many years ago a stroke coma, still has not woken up, in order to find medical treatment for him, the family relocated abroad, and has not appeared in the country since, it seems that his children, all have no desire to compete for the estate.
However, the more they pretend not to care, the more suspicious they are.
Randall Harrah continued: “According to the investigation, the person who did it is likely to be Ben Brown’ adopted daughter. What do you think, if you need to get rid of her, I can help.”
“Stay put for now.” Alex Brown smiled playfully: “Whether Ben Brown is really sick, or pretending to be sick to fool everyone, now can not be determined, we might as well leisurely watch the show.”
“That undercover …” Alex Brown has always thought things through, Randall Harrah rarely disagree with his decisions, but many things, he had to consult him first.
“It’s okay to do the game.”
Alex Brown gestured for Randall Harrah to come over, and after a moment, sat up straight and said, “Give him the fake news, and then we’ll see what happens.”
Randall Harrah raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs up.
–.
Hospital, examination room.
After the examination, the nurse helped Candy Hall to rest on the chair, sorted out the used disposable instruments and took them to the next room for a new one. The doctor was still sitting in front of the computer, briefly explaining Candy Hall’s current physical condition, and then the same old story, advising her not to exercise strenuously, to keep her mood relaxed, and so on.
At this moment, Candy Hall’s mind was not on the medical advice.
With a wary glance toward the door, she quickly drew a folded square of paper from her pocket, covered it with her body, and shoved it into the doctor’s hand.
“You …”
“Don’t make a sound, listen to me!”
The doctor looked into his palm in confusion, but Candy Hall pressed his finger and lowered her voice to plead, “I’m in a dangerous situation, you do what the note says, that will help me, please, don’t let anyone outside know.”
The doctor frowned, recalling that when Candy Hall entered, a man did try to follow him in, and he habitually assumed that it was the patient’s husband, but now it seemed that he was mistaken.
“But I’m just a doctor, you …” He was a doctor, she should have called the police if she was really in danger, but unfortunately, before he could finish, the patient in front of him had already turned to leave.
Open the door, Marisa Darcyarranged the bodyguard immediately appeared, Candy Hall inclined her head, her eyes on the doctor’s face for a few seconds, which is full of prayer.
Then the doctor unfolded the note, which contained only a phone number and a shaky line of handwriting written in an obviously nervous state.
When Joe Wright answered the phone, Emma Rosy was chasing after him, begging him to come back to the office to oversee a project, and they were both panting from a chase in the living room.
After hearing the other party’s words, Joe Wright, who had been smiling, instantly became serious.
“What did you say, Candy Hall asked you to contact me?
Across the phone, the doctor stared at the note spread out on the table, doubt and worry in equal measure: “The patient’s name was registered as Candy Hall, and the note did ask me to call this number, but she only said she was in danger, and I don’t know anything about the rest.”
Joe Wright looked at Emma Rosy with a stony face, and after a brief silence, cautiously asked, “How did she react at the time?”
“Just … was very scared, by the way, if I remember correctly, a man has been following her, it does not look like her husband, but I am not sure ah.”
At that, Joe Wright’s mind flashed a face, hurriedly pursued: “Is that man yellow medium-length hair?”
If the person accompanying Candy Hall was yellow-haired, then the note and the phone call were, most likely, her new conspiracy.
“No, the man had short dark hair.” This time the doctor answered quickly, then added: “Of course, changing hairstyle is everyone’s freedom, so I’m not sure …”
Careful wording is the doctor’s professional habit, so Joe Wright is difficult to get more valid information from his narrative, had to stabilize him first, and then find a way to investigate.
“In this way, we will arrange a time to meet, you do not call the police first, so as not to alarm the snake.”
Whether this is a conspiracy by Candy Hall and Marisa Miller, or really desperate, reporting to the police is useless and will only spoil things. joe Wright finished and asked Emma Rosy for advice with his eyes, and Emma Rosy agreed.
After a moment’s consideration, the doctor agreed to Joe Wright’s proposal.
The meeting was scheduled after the doctor’s shift and at a roadside cafe, again to prevent detection.
Emma Rosy came along with Joe Wright, a woman with a more delicate mind, to help identify whether the other party’s words were true.
Ten minutes late, the doctor arrived in style, handing over the note as soon as he was seated, with the look of a hot potato being thrown.
“Sorry, there are a lot of patients today, so I had to work overtime.” After ordering a cup of coffee and sending the waiter away, he took a closer look at the man and woman across from him, dressed like a rich man or woman, and not acting like a bad person, but out of caution, he asked about their identities.
Emma Rosy has a natural affinity for medical practitioners: “We are friends of Candy Hall, and it is normal for you to be wary of us. But since she asked us for help, she has proved that she trusts us, don’t you think?”
The doctor, obviously half-hearted, asked again, “If she’s a friend, why didn’t she come to you directly, but through me?”
Joe Wright, who was clearly better at lying without changing his face than Emma Rosy, duly took over, “If I’m right, she’s probably being held captive by her husband and his family. Her husband had a history of domestic violence before, we advised her to divorce, but she always refused to listen, always thinking that the man would change, who knows …” said, to match the situation, a deep sigh.
The doctor nodded hesitantly: “The man who followed her that day, was it her husband? Why not just call the police?”
He did not expect the doctor to be curious, Joe Wright looked down and touched the bridge of his nose, casually perfunctory: “We have not been in touch for some time, many things are not quite clear.”
Seeing the doctor’s fading suspicions rekindle, Emma Rosy hastened to explain: “We guess she was imprisoned by her husband precisely because she could not be found for a long time, if you don’t believe us, why don’t you go to her again to confirm whether we need to help?”
Emma Rosy’s offer was reasonable, and after exchanging contact information, the doctor left a note.
Joe Wright was a little confused: “Why not just go to the hospital? We’ll know if the woman is lying or not when we get there.”
Joe Wright’s response was based on the fact that Candy Hall had lied, but Emma Rosy thought more comprehensively than he did.
“Leave it to me first, and I’ll send someone to confirm the handwriting.” Emma Rosy spread her palm and gestured toward the note in Joe Wright’s hand.
Confirming whether the note was written by Candy Hall was the only way to narrow it down and get closer to making sure it wasn’t a plot by Marisa Miller. Of course, whether Candy Hall and Marisa Miller’s relationship is one of captivity, or collusion, still needs to be investigated.
After realizing Emma Rosy’s real purpose of delaying the doctor, Joe Wright couldn’t help but be full of admiration and gave a thumbs-up shake: “Miss. Richard is cautious, I’m completely relieved to leave the company to you in the future.”
Knowing that he intended to tease, Emma Rosy pursed her lips and smiled, not answering.
Late at night, the Wright Family home was still a lively scene, but outside the window, the clouds were already overcast, and a thunderstorm started the show, leading to a heavy rain.
Marisa Darcystumbled to the tombstone and fell to her knees in exhaustion and despair, her wine breath dispersed by the pouring rain, but tears rolling down her face.
On the stone table of the headstone were wilted white chrysanthemums and fruit snacks of indistinguishable colors. She reached out and pushed them down, roaring with hatred: “A bunch of hypocritical bastards, how dare they come to visit the grave? What, are you afraid of retribution for your bad deeds? Dad, Mom, if you’re alive in heaven, help me kill them, these bastards, they’ve caused your daughter so much trouble!”
After Matthew Miller’s death, the estate should have been owned by Marisa Miller, but she was hiding from the police and had no time to take care of the estate, until recently, she secretly contacted a shareholder of the Miller Family, but the other party was perfunctory and refused to give her any money!
The property that belonged to her was taken away from her, and was abandoned by Abbott Hawk to hunt her down, and even the house that she used her body for, was also seized this morning.
“What the hell did I do wrong, how did I become like this? I was originally Ms. Miller ah!”
Marisa Darcyslumped on the stone platform and howled along with the sound of rain: “Mom and Dad, you must understand me, right? I was just unlucky, I was just set up by that bitch Emma Rosy, what’s wrong with taking back what’s mine?”
She should have been the envy of all, the heiress of the Miller Family, the beloved wife of Alex Brown, giving him an equally wonderful child, leaving Emma Rosy to suffer and die in prison five years ago.
