"Don't call the police. Now Icehive has had enough trouble."
Ernest stopped Theresa from calling. Thinking of the press conference, he asked, "How is the matter going now?"
Jocelyn suddenly came up today and left after ruining the press conference. He chased her with some men. Not only didn't they get her, but also he almost destroyed by her.
In addition, what she said at the press conference had had a very serious impact. All the media were reporting the news of the accident at the press conference. Up to now, there were still lots of reporters outside the Icehive building, waiting for the explanation from Icehive.
Theresa was dealing with Ernest's wounds. She sighed, "Ernest, what should we do now? I thought it was just like last time at the engagement ceremony. Why is she that powerful? How can she do those?"
"She was not powerful at all. I doubt that there is someone in Icehive helping her. Otherwise, those videos wouldn't be exposed."
"Who would that be?"
"I'm looking into that. But the biggest concern now is how to recover the credit crisis this time. The situation is so tough for us. We have no choice but to find out Jocelyn and negotiate with her!"
"Glenna sent me a message saying that she had met her in the mall before, but I don't know where she is now."
"Keep in touch with Glenna. I don't believe that she will not return to the Murray family after coming back. As long as she goes to the Murray family, I'll catch her!"
At that moment, there was a knock at the door in the office. Ernest said come in, and then Veronica appeared at the door, "Mr. Cloutier, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Ms. Gaspar, come in. I have something to ask you." Ernest called Veronica in.
Veronica walked in. She glanced at Ernest and Theresa. Both of them looked not very good.
"You used to be Jocelyn's agent. Has she contacted you after coming back?"
Ernest stared at her eyes and asked. There had been two accidents. He thought that there must be an inside man. But whether that was Veronica or not needed to be confirmed. And he also wanted to know where Jocelyn was.
"No. She hasn't come to me, and I don't have her phone number. I wanted to ask her what her plan was after coming back and why did she fight against you. But she didn't contact me."
Veronica said it calmly without blinking or feeling guilty. Ernest stared at her for a while, then felt relieved.
"If she contacts you, you must tell me in time. I have something very important to tell her." Ernest told her.
" Got it, Mr. Cloutier. Is there anything else?"
"No, you can leave work now!"
Veronica left the office and closed the door. When turned around, she gave a cold hiss.
"Stupid man and bitch, I won't tell you it was me who helped Jocelyn did all those. So what?" She thought.
You did so many dirty things. God wouldn't help you!"
...
After finishing everything, Todd hurried to Fallcastle to see Jocelyn, but was stopped by the guard.
"Hey! Look who I am. Are you stopping me?"
Todd was a little angry. Everything was not going well today. First, he received a phone call from his home saying that his grandpa's condition was not good. He hurried back. Then a lot of things happened to the company. He had been busy all day.
Now he had finished everything and wanted to see Jocelyn. But he was not allowed to go in.
How absurd!
"Sorry, Mr. Garner. This is the order of Mr. Austin. He asked you to go back today. If there is anything, come tomorrow." The guard told him.
"Oh, no, what does he mean? I'm his cousin. How can he not let me in?"
Todd thought Calvin was a little unreasonable today. Why couldn't he go in? He wanted to see his wife!
How could he rest assured before seeing her?
"Sorry, this is the order of Mr. Austin. You can call him and ask him directly."
"OK!"
Todd called Calvin. After the phone was answered, he complained, "Calvin, let them open the door and let me in! How can you stop me from going in?"
"It's too late. Go back first! Come tomorrow!"
Calvin said without any expression. He looked down at Jocelyn who was leaned on his shoulder and sleeping. He didn't want Todd to destroy the atmosphere now. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"How is my wife? Is she seriously injured? I haven't seen her yet! How can I go back?" Todd cried.
"She's all right. She's already asleep. That's it!"
Calvin hung up the phone directly. Todd was full of sulks. How could Calvin be so unreasonable? Did he take Jocelyn as his wife?
How could he didn't let him see her! He was so depressed!
Todd didn't give up and called Jocelyn, but her phone was off. So he could only call his son.
Jeffery answered the phone and asked angrily, "Daddy, where have you been today? Why didn't you come to see mommy?"
"I'm sorry, son. Daddy has something to deal with. Now daddy is here, but I can't go in. How is your mommy now? Is she better?"
"Daddy, mommy is better, but Mr. Austin was strange. He doesn't look like a serious man. I'm so worried that he will bully mommy!"
Jeffery complained to Todd. Todd was anxious after hearing that.
But he thought about it. He knew Calvin.
He didn't like women and had never been close to any woman. It was impossible for him to do anything to Jocelyn. It should be exaggerated by the little guy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Austin is not that kind of person. I'll see you tomorrow."
Todd trusted Calvin. He absolutely believed that Calvin wouldn't bully Jocelyn.
After a long time, Calvin had seen enough of the night and was about to enter the room.
However, he was sad to find that the consequence of indulging her to lean on him was that he had to keep a posture and stay still, resulting in the numbness of his half shoulder.
Oh... Women were really troublesome!
Calvin pushed her head away slightly, but she fell into his arms again.
Damn!
Looking at the sleeping woman, Calvin was at a loss.
Worried about her wound, he hesitated for a while before reaching out to hold her in his arms and took her back to the room.
When putting her on the bed, his leg was accidentally tripped by the edge of the bed. And he fell down. His lips touched Jocelyn's soft lips.
Calvin stared with surprise, as if there was an electric current all over his body.
He wanted to get up, but an inexplicable attraction stopped him and made him unable to help but sank more.
