Telling Lies, loving you

Chapter 222 Heartache

She stared at the message. It was short, only one word.

"France."

Michelle felt a dull pain in her heart. She was not used to the way Wyn talked to her.

But she was sure that it must have something to do with Zoy. As her husband, Michelle believed that Wyn must know it.

She wanted to call him, but found that there was something wrong with Wyn. To ensure security, she quickly sent a message. Based on her relationship with Wyn, she believed that he would tell the truth honestly.

In order to protect her from being hurt, Wyn took Zoy abroad.

But no one had expected that something bad would happen not long after they left.

And it was the Jiang Group.

"Did she do it?"

Michelle typed on her phone, and soon received a reply, but the content of the message was still very short, only one word this time. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes."

But this word gave Michelle unlimited hope. She finally knew who did it, but why did Zoy frame the Jiang Group?

She was also a member of the Jiang Group. As the daughter of Scott's uncle, shouldn't she help the Jiang Group at this time?

But on second thought, it was wrong. It was impossible for Zoy alone to do anything to the Jiang Group just by herself. The Jiang Group was one of the most famous companies in the world. If someone really wanted to destroy it, he would not stay until now.

In a hazy state, Michelle wanted to get more information from Wyn, but she found from the text that he seemed to be not safe now.

Her heart clenched. 'Did Zoy abandon her beloved Wyn for benefits?

It was impossible. Zoy loved Wyn so much that she would never have the heart to do such a thing.

But if Wyn was in a meeting in the company, he wouldn't have time to reply to her. Since he had time to reply, it meant that he was not busy now. Michelle just didn't know what was going on around him.

"Michelle, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Michelle was in a daze, Emily asked her immediately.

"Nothing. I'm a little tired."

Just now, Michelle was hesitating whether she should tell this to Scott or not, but how should she face him now? It was because of her. If it weren't for the past between her and Wyn, it wouldn't have made Zoy hate her.

Emily thought she was really sleepy, so she went out and went back to her room to have a rest.

Michelle didn't sleep for almost a night. On the next morning, she rushed out. She was going to the company and told the news to Scott. After all, it was related to the interests of the company. She couldn't ignore the truth.

She believed that Scott had been extremely anxious these days?

After getting in the taxi, Michelle went straight to the company. She wanted to rush upstairs as soon as possible. Although she was not sure whether Scott was in the office or not, she still wanted to have a try.

As soon as the elevator door of floor 23 opened, Michelle rushed out.

She rushed to the CEO's office and opened the door, only to find that Scott was sleeping on the table. It seemed that he was very tired.

It turned out that he hadn't been home all night.

Hearing the sound from outside, the sleepy man woke up from his dream. He raised his head and looked at the person standing at the door of the office. Suddenly, he became in high spirits!

He didn't expect that Michelle would come.

He immediately stood up from the chair, ran to her excitedly and held her in his arms.

"You are finally here. I thought you would never come to see me again." Scott buried his head on her hair and felt the fragrance of her hair. The taste was still the same as before.

Michelle didn't push him away, but let him hold her like this.

She knew that he must have suffered a lot these days.

Since they loved each other, why did they hurt each other?

After a while, Scott suddenly walked out hand in hand. Michelle didn't know what happened and asked, "what's wrong?"

"I'm hungry suddenly when I see you."

Scott said it casually, but when Michelle heard the last word, her face suddenly turned red for no reason.

She lowered her head and followed him out of the company.

The two of them went to a restaurant near the company. Michelle ordered fried rice and a cup of hot pearl milk tea and handed the menu to the waiter here.

However, Michelle didn't expect that Scott ordered the same thing as hers.

Things came up soon. There were few people in the restaurant, so they didn't wait long.

She began to eat with a spoon. Although it was not good to have fried rice in the morning, this was the cheapest and the most delicious food in the restaurant.

Obviously, Scott was not used to eating it, but he was still willing to eat with her.

Because he wanted to experience her life and habits.

During the breakfast, the two of them didn't talk. The slow melody played in the restaurant was refreshing.

Drinking the milk tea, Michelle glanced at Scott secretly. She hadn't seen him for so many days and suddenly found that he looked much haggard. This was not the look what a 25 year old man should have.

Michelle's heart ached when she saw him like this.

Aware of her gaze, Scott raised his head and looked at her. The moment their eyes met, Michelle felt her heart beating so fast. She lowered her head again and drank the milk tea in her cup.

The atmosphere became awkward again. They didn't talk to each other except for the music playing in the shop.

"Let's go."

Michelle knew that it was not a good way to go on like this. She put down the cup in her hand and was about to leave, but she was stopped by the waiter at the back of her feet. "Hey, you haven't paid yet."

Michelle stopped and realized that she hadn't paid for the meal. Her face flushed again.

She took a look at Scott, who walked over first, took out an ordinary bank card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter, saying, "can I use the card?"

When they walked out of the restaurant, Michelle still kept a distance from Scott. They didn't look like a couple at all, but like friends in embarrassment.

Friends? That's right. When did their relationship become so stiff?

Michelle couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was all her fault?

Seeing that Michelle didn't want to talk to him, Scott chose to take the initiative. He ran up to her in parallel and walked towards the company. Anyway, the two of them had already got their marriage certificates, and they only needed to hold a wedding ceremony. So legally, they were a couple.

If something hadn't happened, his relationship with Michelle wouldn't have become so embarrassing.

"Honey..." He called her from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that she didn't stop, Scott changed his words, "Michelle."

"What?"

Michelle stopped and turned to look at him, as if waiting for more.

Scott scratched his head awkwardly, and his mouth became clumsy as well. It seemed that he didn't know what to say to her.

"Have you found out the truth?"

This was the main street and there was no one around, so Michelle went straight to the point. That was also the reason why she didn't sleep all night. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to speak it out, or she might forget it later.

Scott shook his head helplessly.

"They seem to be very powerful. I have sent someone to look for them, but there is no news."

Speaking of this, Scott looked a little helpless.

Seeing him like this, Michelle couldn't stand it anymore.

She wanted to tell him the truth, but the next second she felt that her body suddenly fell to the ground, and then she heard a gunshot.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the man on top of her.

The gunshot was so loud that her ears were buzzing.

"Scott Are you okay? "

She called his name, but she couldn't hear her own voice. She was a little unconfident, because she didn't know if what she said was what she thought.

Scott frowned and tried to get up from her, but he fainted the next second.

Michelle's hand touched his back and felt sticky. She looked up and found that her hand was stained with blood!

It was the blood of Scott!

"Scott, Scott! Please answer me, Scott... "

At this moment, Michelle was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She looked at the man lying on her and shouted his name.

In the corridor of the hospital.

A group of people pushed Scott towards the emergency room, and Michelle followed them. Tears blurred her sight, making her unable to see Scott's face.

"I'm sorry, miss. You can't go in. Please wait outside."

At the moment the door was closed, Michelle covered her mouth with her hand and forced herself not to cry out.

Upon receiving the news, Walter and Emily rushed over. Seeing the woman squatting on the ground and crying, Emily trotted over and held her in her arms.

"Michelle."

After getting some warmth, Michelle cried even harder.

Standing aside and looking at Michelle, Walter also felt bad.

"Michelle, what happened? What's wrong with Scott?"

Emily looked a little anxious. She couldn't wait to ask Michelle when she felt better.

At this time, Michelle stopped crying and sobbed, "he was shot to save me."

"What? How dare someone shoot in C City? How dare he! Let alone in the daytime! " Hearing the news, Emily was stunned. She had only heard that it was chaotic abroad before, but she didn't expect it to happen in C City.
