She Killed My Ex

Chapter 43 The Reason That Made Bentley Goes Abroad

Chapter 43 The Reason Why Bentley Goes Abroad

"Caroline, tell me the truth!" Marissa wasn't someone that could be easily fooled by Caroline. She asked with a grim look, "So, you aren't getting days off because you are feeling tired?"

After saying that, Marissa picked up her phone and looked at Caroline, "It's fine that you don't want to say anything. I'll call Mr. Shawn directly."

Marissa was very worried and therefore she thought of such a stupid move.

"Marissa, Mr. Shawn won't care about me."

Marissa was stunned for a moment because what Caroline had said was so true.

Marissa suddenly recalled that Bentley was the one who treated Caroline most cruelly.

She was afraid that if she called and told him that Caroline hit her head and got injured, he would just be indifferent.

"Okay, Callie. You win. I won't call Mr. Shawn. I'll call the manager of your PR Department."

Caroline's face turned pale instantly. Then she said, "Don't call Ms. Zachary." Marissa was stunned. She didn't know that Caroline was so afraid of Ms. Zachary. Caroline looked pale and begged Marissa, "Marissa, please don't call Ms. Zachary."

Ms. Zachary already didn't like her in the first place. If this caused more hatred from Ms. Zachary, Caroline would be transferred from her PR department. Then, she would be unable to raise the huge sum of 7 million dollars to pay back that man.

"I hit the doorknob."

"How did you bump onto the doorknob?" Marissa was very shrewd. How could a person bump onto the doorknob suddenly?

"When I went back that day, it rained suddenly. I felt dizzy and light-headed after I got caught in the rain." After all, Caroline wanted to cover everything that Madison did.

She wasn't trying to protect Madison nor did she feel sorry for Madison. She just didn't want to be hated by anyone because of that.

She was scared.

Just Bentley alone was enough to make her life upside down.

The feeling of being hated by someone was killing her.

Marissa looked at Caroline, who was in front of her thoroughly as if she was weighing the reliability of Caroline's words.

After a while, Marissa changed to a softer approach and said, "The injury on your forehead hasn't healed yet. You should go back and rest. Only come back to work after it's completely healed. I'll inform your manager."

"I don't want to."

Except for drinking, Caroline, who had always been obedient to everything resisted Marissa face-to- face. Marissa was stunned and said, "Listen to me."

"I don't want to. I'm fine."

"You are not in good health and you still have stitches on your forehead. "

"Marissa, if you really care about me, please offer me more jobs."

It was the sentence that made Marissa feel distressed and sorry at the same time for the person in front of her.

Though people all considered Caroline as a shameless and unprincipled person, Marissa knew she was unyielding in nature. Marissa rubbed her brows and said, "You may leave now." Even if she stopped Caroline this time, she would probably try another way to make more money.

Marissa did have the 7 million dollars that she could give to Caroline. But, she knew that if her boss, Bentley found out, he would be giving her a hard time.

After Caroline left, Marissa glanced at the check on the table. She transferred 14 thousand dollars from her account immediately to the bank card that Bentley gave to Caroline.

Although the bank was closed, people like them always had connections to get their business done outside of working hours.

As for the check, Marissa stuffed it into her safe box.

In New Xoford.

It wasn't in the same time zone as Lehcaster. It was daytime.

The meeting room of the New Xoford branch was located on the 65th floor of the skyscraper. A man was sitting in the power seat of the meeting room. When the mobile phone on the meeting room table vibrated, the man glanced down at the screen of his mobile phone. Then, he narrowed his eyes.

While the blond-haired Clodonese was presenting his report, that man reached out to pick up his mobile phone on the conference table and clicked on the unread text.

That was a bank remittance text message. The man seemed to be upset about the amount of money.

He stood up in a switch and gave the audience a shock. They all sat upright immediately and the Clodonese, who was reporting was so frightened that his voice stopped abruptly. He was worried that he might have said something wrong and offended his boss. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

That man paced to the French window, stretched out his hand, and dialed a number. "Du-doo", after two rings, the call was connected.

"Who gave her the money?"

The cold voice was transmitted through the microphone to Marissa who was in Royal Club.

Marissa was caught in surprise. But then she understood in the next second. It was about the remittance of 14 thousand dollars given by Caroline to Mr. Shawn's bank card. The mobile phone that was linked to the bank card belonged to Mr. Shawn himself.

Once the money was remitted, Mr. Shawn would be able to receive the remittance text after a while due to the time difference.

"It's a new customer."

Marissa tried her best to speak in a business-like manner without hiding anything.

"What did she do this time?"

The question sounded a bit inexplicable, but Marissa understood Bentley's implication. He wanted to know why someone gave Caroline the 14 thousand dollars and what she had done in exchange.

After hesitating for a while, Marissa didn't know whether she should say it or not.

The handsome man started to be impatient with Marissa's hesitation and silence. He asked, "Are you trying to hide something on her behalf?"

"Caroline didn't do anything that crosses the line." Marissa couldn't figure out what Bentley was thinking. Her boss was a deep thinker. But she also knew that if Bentley became ruthless, no one in Lehcaster could bear it. Therefore, she tried her best to say euphemistically, "Caroline just kissed that man."

Marissa felt that shouldn't be a big deal. In Royal Club, a kiss wasn't really a big deal. Although she was a little worried, she didn't think that Caroline could provoke her cold boss again by only that.

In New Xoford, the man cut off the call coldly.

His expression turned even colder. He looked out the window and no one knew what he was thinking. In the meeting room, everyone was frightened. He was a deep thinker and no one could read him. The oppressive atmosphere at that moment was overwhelming and it was enough to make an eight-foot-tall man out of breath.

A big guy like the Clodonese had also shrunk his shoulders and tried not to make any movement.

Bentley stared out of the window with a cold expression. His handsome face looked as cold as ice. A smirk flashed on his face when he thought of the sentence "she didn't cross the line".

There was sarcasm showed on his face as well as irrepressible anger.

Looking out of the window, he thought of the night before coming to New Xoford. He also stood in front of the window of the hotel-style apartment on the 28th floor of Royal Club and looked out of the window. He couldn't explain why but he just hated seeing that woman belittle herself and lose her self-dignity. He didn't want to see Caroline in that condition!

He understood better why Caroline couldn't affect his mood three years ago, but she could make him so angry after she was released from prison three years later. As long as he saw Caroline like that, he couldn't help but feel angry. Since he didn't want to see that anymore, he came to New Xoford.

He thought that his mood swings in those days were just because he wasn't used to facing that poor woman, who was completely different from his impression.

Maybe after coming to New Xoford, he didn't have to see such a humble and pitiful Caroline for a while, and those inexplicable mood swings would disappear automatically.

But, how could she kiss someone else?

Was she really being so cheap and so shameless that she could do anything without any limit?

"Cyrus, get ready for return." Bentley gave the order with a frosty expression.
