Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 1554 I Wanted to Pursue Her



The man who stood transfixed in his colorful jacket was fully aware that everyone present came from a long line of influential people. Through their very assembly, they exuded intimidation. So he dared not offend them. He had to confess the truth immediately because this was the only right thing to do in this situation. "Well, it was Baron who told us, " he began politely, "to investigate Angela's working life, and to escort her back to him... He told us his main attraction to her was that she seemed like the kind of person who knew how to have some fun...and so he wished to have fun... with her."

"You're lying I never said anything of the sort! Take it back this instant!" Baron convulsed rigorously from his bound position on the bed. He suddenly broke free with a jolt and stood up facing his accuser. Next, he launched into an attack of the man.

Arvin issued a command to Kent by way of a cold glare, and Kent set to peeling the two men apart.

When the man had enough breathing-room again, and felt at ease to continue his account, he said, "It was when we arrived at the hospital..." And from here, the man was at liberty to speak his truth, and he did so quiet calmly. Every wrongdoing Baron had done came to light in an unexaggerated manner so as to preserve the sanctity of the facts. When the man finished, everybody in the ward became like Roman statues, quiet and still.

Who was right and who was wrong - the deliberation didn't take long. It was obvious to everyone.

Haley's face turned pale; the heated stares fell like daggers on her son, but still, she had to do something to save his reputation and his dignity. "It doesn't matter what he says, " she bargained, "she still should never push people into lake! It's by a stroke of luck that my son was saved! Would you imagine what would have happened if no one came to rescue him? Would you condone murder? I, his mother, may never be able to see his face again!"

"When she becomes a murderer, she will be liable to apologize, " said Arvin with nerves of steel. "For now, she owes you nothing." There wasn't a hint of contrition behind Arvin's icy eyes, all that lay there was indifference and impartiality, and he didn't give a toss over what other people thought. He said his piece, and finally dragged Angela out of the ward.

They were followed shortly after by Teresa, and slowly the others filed out in twos.

Left alone with Tessa, Parker, and Baron, Haley went berserk and smashed the cups and kettle. The clangor of the metal echoed throughout the corridor.

Tessa walked towards Haley and clamped her arm like a vice. "Mom, listen. You don't have to be so mad, alright? Let's just put it all behind us. There's really no point getting angry."

The point Tessa was tacitly hinting at was that Baron's wr

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

r. She would always like to solve her own problems using Kung Fu.

"Don't try to solve your problems alone next time. If you meet someone like Baron again, tell the bodyguards to drive him away. I will take care of the rest for you." The door of the elevator pinged opened, and they walked out.

"OK, I will." Angela hurriedly promised him. To avoid bringing trouble on Arvin, she had to start using the bodyguards!

After leaving Arvin, Angela hummed and skipped along to the Research and Development department.

Arriving, someone was there demanding her to stop and turn around.

Angela turned back, it was Professor Cheng. It was strange; he usually ignored her, why did he call her now?

Angela greeted him politely enough, with a confused look on her face.

"Tell me, did you invent this?" he demanded of her immediately, skipping such pleasantries. He took out a glass bottle behind his back.

There was blue liquid inside it. Yes, Angela had to admit she was familiar with it; it was the fruit of her labor, the super drug she'd been working on for the past several days. "Swish!" Angela ran to him, "Professor Cheng, how could you take my belongings without my permission?"

But he didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed, instead, he put the glass bottle into his pocket and waved at her.

"Tell me, how did you go about inventing this? What inspired you, hmm?"

It was totally imprudent for a professor to act so interrogatory to Angela. "I won't tell you!" she said, inciting his anger. "It's business secret!" If she finished it, she would be able to apply for another fortuitous patent!

Stevens Cheng thought for a while, "It's okay if you refuse to tell me. But if you have any questions, don't expect any answers from me anymore."

Now Angela felt embarrassed, because she had just asked him a question before she went to see Baron.
