Chapter 71
Karl stood up slowly and looked at Trevor with a cold look: “You are getting older, so don’t fight for these trivial matters anymore.”
The subtext is that he doesn’t need Trevor Adams to manage his business.
What a clever and wise person Trevor was, and he understood what he meant at once.
He was so angry that he would throw something again, but he abruptly held back.
Powell stepped forward and poured him a glass of water: “Sir, drink a glass of water to calm down, he is still young now, and he will understand your good intentions in the future.”
Trevor sighed, “I hope.”
Coming out of the tea house, Karl took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Alyssa.
He took the phone out and put it back in.
He was a little looking forward to how Alyssa would handle this matter.
…
Alyssa was almost late.
When she sat down in the grid, she keenly felt that everyone was looking at her, and the look in their eyes was strange.
Alyssa took out her phone and took a photo of her face. There was no dirt on her face and she looked normal!
A female colleague sitting across from her, seeing her look out of shape, kindly pointed to her mobile phone.
Alyssa came to understand, smiled at her, and turned on the phone to surf the Internet.
She usually has the habit of getting up every morning and surfing the web to watch entertainment news. Today, because she overslept, she never watched it.
The headlines in the entertainment section turned out to be related to her.
She clicked in and found that it was the photo of her and “Luther” outside the restaurant yesterday.
After Alyssa was surprised at the beginning, she calmed down instead.
“Luther” is arrogant and unscrupulous, and it was a matter of time that it would be photographed by others.
She is not afraid of the shadow crooked, but what will happen to the people in the Adams’ family when they see this news?
What if Karl saw it?
At this moment, Colin called: “Come to my office.”
…
When Alyssa went there, he was the only one in Colin’s office. Isabel was beaten and swollen into a pig’s head yesterday. It is naturally impossible to come to work in the company today.
When Colin saw her, he didn’t have a good face: “What’s the matter with you and Luther?”
Alyssa curled her lips and said in an indifferent tone: “It’s okay.”
“It’s okay, then what is this?” Colin put the phone in front of her with a “slap” on the phone, with pictures of her and “Luther” on it.
Alyssa leaned over, put her hands on the desk, and said in a slow tone: “You should ask Isabel about this question. She took the photo. She should know the best.”
On the way to Colin’s office, she thought carefully about it, except that Isabel had the courage to take pictures and send them to the media, no one else dared to provoke her.
Besides, there are still a few people who know her and “Luther”.
“Alyssa, when did you become so ignorant? She suffered so much for you yesterday, and you still want to blame her!” Colin stood up fiercely in anger.
Alyssa backed away, a cold light flashed under her eyes, and her smile became more brilliant: “What you said yesterday, whether I will help you depends on how you deal with it.”
Colin said yesterday that he asked her to persuade Karl to inject funds into the Hunt family. She was still hesitant to find Karl to give it a try, but what Colin said directly made her make up her mind.
Yesterday, Isabel clearly deserved it, but in Colin’s mouth, he said it was because of Alyssa’s suffering.
Knowing that there was a misunderstanding about the skipping shift, Colin just calmly exposed the matter afterward, without a decent apology!
Of course, Alyssa could not help Colin.
However, soldiers are not tired of deceit, to see who plays first!
Even if they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, once there is no emotional bond between them, they will never scold each other again.
…
Throughout the day, wherever Alyssa went, she would hear someone discuss this matter.
But she ignored them, and those people didn’t dare to ask her if they wanted to.
At the end of getting off work, the hot search about her and “Luther” has been removed, but there are still many people discussing in major forums and post bars.
Tina also called her.
“The next time you go on a hot search, can you pick me up too? I think you can make a debut with your level of appearance and popularity after a few hot searches.”
Alyssa wanted to cry without tears: “Do you think I’m willing to go on a hot search?”
Tina suddenly said in a serious tone: “To be honest, I saw that photo. Although there are a large number of troll army underneath that the photo was taken on loan, I can tell at a glance that the photo was not taken at all. Bit! I have long felt that the man named “Luther” is plotting against you, are you really…”
“No, nothing!” Alyssa retorted anxiously: “You come back after the filming, I’m going to get off work first, bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief and packed her things to get off work.
As soon as she exited the office gate, she didn’t know where a lot of reporters came from before she could react.
“Ms. Alyssa, are the rumors about you and your husband’s cousin on the Internet true?”
“In addition to being with your husband’s cousin, do you have contact with other men?”
“…” There is you-mummy!
Fortunately, Alyssa responded extremely quickly and covered her face for the first time.
She never expected that she would be intercepted by reporters.
In the chaos, Alyssa put on her hood, then raised her head, and said in a cold voice: “There is nothing to tell about the chasing of the wind and shadows. I am not a member of the entertainment industry. I have no obligation to answer your questions.”
Some reporters grasped the keywords in her words very carefully.
“Miss Alyssa, you just said, ‘You’re’ not a member of the entertainment industry yet.’ What you mean is that you will make your debut in the entertainment industry as an artist?
Immediately afterward, other reporters also started to draw inferences: “It is rumored that your husband may not be able to inherit the Adams’ family due to personal reasons, so you entered the entertainment industry to find a way out for yourself?”
“In the past few times you went on hot search, it was actually a hype?”
“…”
Alyssa was surrounded by reporters and couldn’t get out at all.
Suddenly, a series of intensive footsteps sounded, and a group of security guards came and drove all the reporters away.
Before Alyssa realized what was going on, Norris suddenly came out, pulling her wrist and striding towards the parking lot.
When Alyssa thought of touching his hand on Isabel’s body, she felt nauseous in her heart and squeezed away his hand forcefully.
Norris was stunned for a moment, and then patiently said to her: “Alyssa, those reporters will catch up at any time, get in the car first, and I will take you away.”
Alyssa hesitated and followed him into the car.
She didn’t dare to underestimate the media’s combat power, so she left here first.
Chapter 72
After Norris drove the car out, Alyssa saw that the entertainment notes had disappeared, and said, “Thank you for this.”
Norris parked the car on the side of the road in silence, Alyssa reached out to open the door, tried twice but found that the door could not be opened.
She turned her head to look at Norris: “The door is locked.”
Norris also turned his head to look at her, his eyes a little weird: “Alyssa, you choose Karl’s cousin, it is safer to choose me.”
“???” Is that what he understood?
Seeing that Alyssa didn’t interrupt him aloud, Norris’s tone became more confident: “We are happy together, we will be happier together, and more importantly, I will not let others discover our affairs.”
“You and me?” Alyssa pointed at him and at herself.
Norris nodded, showing a smile that he thought was very fascinating, and he reached out to touch Alyssa’s face: “You have worked so hard to guard Karl’s cripple. I can understand you and his cousin, I do not blame you.”
Too hard?
It’s really euphemistic, doesn’t he mean that she is guarding Karl, an impot3nt cripple, and can’t stand loneliness, so she went to find Karl’s cousin!
People who are nasty will always see others as nasty too!
Alyssa began to avoid the hand he stretched out, with a look of disgust: “You mean, let me be with you with Karl on my back?”
Norris also saw the headlines on the Internet.
Alyssa always liked him, if he took the initiative to find Alyssa, Alyssa would definitely dump Karl’s cousin with him without hesitation.
Norris didn’t mind Alyssa turning her head and avoiding it, instead, the more he said it, the more vigorous he said: “Karl is not worthy of you in the first place, we really love each other.”
“Who really loves who? Isabel is the one who really loves you. If you don’t open the door, I will call the police if you don’t open it now?” Alyssa leaned against the car door, looking at Norris with alert.
Why hadn’t she discovered that Norris was so extreme before?
Alyssa’s evasive attitude towards him made him a little anxious, and he moved to Alyssa with a little excitement: “How can Isabel be compared to you!”
Alyssa didn’t talk nonsense with him and directly took out her mobile phone to call the police.
Norris still wanted face, stepped back a little distance, and opened the door for her.
Alyssa opened the car door and looked back at him, with an alienated tone: “Norris, I used to like you before. Maybe I don’t even understand what I liked you before, but from now on I will never like you again. , Let alone cheating with you behind Karl’s back.”
Norris’s expression worsened as he heard it, Alyssa turned and left, no longer looking at him.
After not getting far, another car stopped beside her.
She thought it was Norris again, walking very fast with the wind under her feet until a familiar voice came from the car.
“Young lady…”
Alyssa turned her head in surprise: “Smith? Are you back?”
Smith, as Karl’s special assistant, usually follows Karl wherever he goes.
After Karl went abroad, she didn’t see Smith in the villa again, so she guessed that Smith went abroad with Karl.
When he got off the car at night, he respectfully replied, “Yes, the Sir told me to come and take you home.”
Alyssa looked forward to meeting Karl inexplicably, but she knew in her heart that Karl might still show her his back.
Even so, Alyssa got into the car happily.
After getting in the car, once the excitement passed, she calmed down and she couldn’t sit still.
How could Karl come back at this time?
Did he just come back or did he arrive in the morning? Did he see the news about her and “Luther”?
If… If he saw the news, would he…
No, if this is not true, even if he doesn’t see it, someone will tell him.
She was certain that the person who appeared to press with the news was the Hunt family.
Adams’ family knew it, and Karl must know it too.
…
With anxiety, the car stopped in front of the villa.
“Madam, please come out of the car.” Smith stepped forward and opened the door respectfully.
Alyssa got out of the car, took a look at the location of Karl’s study on the second floor, and asked Smith, “Is Karl in the study?”
Smith: “No, Sir is resting.”
Alyssa nodded, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw “Luther” sitting leisurely in the lobby drinking coffee.
She was angry, but because Karl was still there, she didn’t have a good attack, but she gave him a cold look and went upstairs to the room.
As soon as Alyssa left, he walked to Karl and said respectfully: “Sir, Norris went to see Madam.”
Karl said lightly, “Oh? What does he want her for?”
Smith keenly caught a trace of unusualness from his faint tone.
Smith remembered that he saw Norris and Alyssa very close in the car, and their behavior seemed a little intimate, so he naturally did not dare to say anything.
So he chose a statement that he believed to be very safe: “The two stayed in the car for a while, and the young lady got out of the car.”
“How long does it take to stay for a while?” Karl Adams put the coffee in his hand on the coffee table, leaned back, his long legs folded together, and the whole person was lazy.
Smith said that he would suffer: “Just for a while, like ten minutes…”
“Oh? Only ten minutes? You picked up someone for more than an hour before coming back.” Karl’s eyes suddenly became very sharp.
Smith dare not speak anymore.
Karl narrowed his eyes and did not ask any more, as if he did not intend to hear a satisfactory answer here at Smith.
…
When Alyssa went downstairs, there was no “Luther” in the hall.
She ran and asked the bodyguard at the door: “Where is your he?”
The bodyguard said with a serious face: “Sir is out.”
“Oh.” Alyssa nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.
“Luther” is not at home, she feels that the air at home has become much fresher.
Karl had just returned and had a hard journey, so she decided to do something light for him.
Before the meal was ready, Smith came in and said, “Madam, I want to go out to do something. Could you please send the meal to Sir later?”
Alyssa was a little puzzled, it was almost night, where did they guys have so many things to do?
“Okay, I’ll send it to him as soon as I’m done.” Alyssa was happy to do something for Karl.
Before long, she prepared the food and served it upstairs, and went directly to Karl’s study.
She stood at the door and knocked, no one answered, so she pushed the door directly in.
She planned to put down her things and go out, but she turned around and met “Luther”.
