Chapter 137


    Chapter 137


    Under Christian’s cold stare, Michael put his cappino down and sat with his arms crossed. “Anyway,


    based on my two-year investigation, Miss Spritz is truly terrifying. You would be in trouble if you married


    her, despite her good looks and family education.”


    “The police havepared the recording and determined that it was Victoria’s voice. The recording is


    genuine.” Christian stood up, looked down at Michael and said, “If the recording is genuine, you can’t


    prove Victoria is innocent, right?”


    Being stared at by Christian made Michael uneasy. He moved around before standing up and coughing


    lightly. “I suspect that the recording was made at random in the past, when Miss Coleman and Miss


    Spritz were ying around. But this is just my suspicion. I need more time and effort to investigate, just


    as I suspected the car wasn’t Miss Coleman’s.”


    It wasn’t long after the rain stopped but the sun was already out, shining brightly against the vast blue


    sky.


    Christian stood with his eyes lowered, the sun’s rays reflecting on his eyshes and casting shadows


    on his face. He was in a bright spot, but he appeared so gloomy that those around him were terrified.


    The café was cozy, with green nts that were visually appealing. The aroma of coffee pervaded the


    entire space. It was rxing to sit in the café with a hot beverage.


    However, Michael, who was standing in front of Christian, found nothing enjoyable about it. Finally, he


    couldn’t keep quiet any longer and broke the silence. “This is already the most I can do, Mr. Thatcher. I


    understand your dissatisfaction, but I can only refund half of the payment. After all, I can’t work for


    nothing for the past two years…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, Christian sat down and wrote a cheque before standing up and


    stuffing the cheque into Michael’s palm. “Continue with the investigation.”


    Michael looked at the figure written on the cheque and smiled right away. “Rest assured that I’ll contact


    you right away if I manage to get anything.”


    Christian responded with a nod. He exited the café with a solemn expression, his silhouette gloomy.


    …


    Meanwhile, what happened to Mr. Sharp was only the beginning of a long night at the Delta Club. The


    onlookers’ party was just getting started.


    Daisy was cursing as she was led downstairs. All of the expletives she used seemed to be in stark


    contrast to her stunning appearance.


    “Let go of me! Don’t you all hear me? Let me go!”


    “B*stards! I’ll kill all of you!”

    That made Vincent sneer. He approached Daisy, who was still swearing, with the vase in his hand and


    asked, “So you’re the one who locked the rooftop’s door?”


    Daisy, in return, raised her head and replied arrogantly, “Do you have any proof of that? If the answer is


    no, you should keep your mouth shut!”


    Gabrielle had returned and was also in the lobby. When she heard that, she took a few steps forward


    and asked with a grim expression, “If it wasn’t you who locked the door, why did you tell me Victoria is


    nevering back then?”


    “I do whatever I want. It’s none of your concern!” Daisy broke free from the guards and dashed towards


    Gabrielle, a ferocious expression on her face.


    But before she could reach Gabrielle, Vincent kicked her on the legs. With that, Daisy wobbled a few


    steps backwards before leaning on the big vase and falling to the floor.


    Jessica came downstairs not long after. She tried to strain her neck among the crowd to see what was


    going on. In an eerie tone, she then said, “Isn’t it not confirmed that she was the one who locked the


    door? What if Mr. Coleman got the wrong person?”


    Vincent had always been an impulsive man who relied on his fists more than logic. When he heard


    that, he raised his fist threateningly and said, “If you dare, do continue!”


    He was never reasonable, and it didn’t matter if he was beating a woman or not. As a result, Gabrielle


    simply moved her body indignantly, but she did not dare to say anything else.


    However, there were some people in the crowd who were not afraid of him. Jessica’s words were


    picked up by a young man, who continued, “Mr. Coleman, aren’t you acting like a tyrant here? How do


    you intend to resolve the situation if you truly have the wrong person…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, Daisy stood up from the ground and yelled at Gabrielle, “Yes! I was


    the one who locked that woman on the rooftop! What can all of you do to me?”


    Everyone in the crowd was speechless when they heard that.


    The young man who hadn’t even got the chance to finish his words went silent with his face flushed.


    “You asked what we could do, didn’t you?” Vincent approached Daisy and punched her on the nose


    hard, his eyes red. “I can make you wish you’d rather die!”


    Daisy felt dizzy after getting punched. Her eyes went nk and blood gushed from her nose, smearing


    half of her face.


    She wiped her face quickly with her right hand. Seeing her own hand covered in blood, she was about


    to begin her scolding when Teresa suddenly grabbed her hair.


    Teresa was so enraged that she wanted to grab Daisy’s hair and p her on behalf of Victoria.


    But, to her surprise, Daisy’s entire piece of hair fell off the moment she grabbed her beautiful curls!


    Everyone, except for Gabrielle, was stunned before bursting outughing when they saw Daisy’s two-


    inch hair and the dents on her head.


    Charlotte, too, curved the corners of her lips, attempting to keep her smile in check.novelxo fast

    Vincent and Teresa, who stood in front of Daisy, were both angry and amused.


    Meanwhile, Daisy, who had been yelling at the top of her lungs, flushed instantly, and no one knew if it


    was from anger or embarrassment. Her hands covered her head and her lips pursed as she swept her


    gaze across the crowd. Then the tears began to fall.


    She tried to straighten her back as she looked at Charlotte. “Miss Charlotte, I work for the Delta Club;


    are you going to stand there and watch me get bullied?”


    Charlotte smiled even wider when she heard that. “Of course,” she replied casually.


    Laughter erupted once more among the crowd.


    Daisy was at a loss for words. Her expression was terrible, changing from one of rage to one of


    embarrassment in seconds while wiping the blood from her nose.


    Shamefully, she swept her gazes across everyone once more and yelled, “Stopughing! Don’t you all


    know who I’m serving? I’m Old Mr. Ford’s woman! He would not let you all go if he knows I’ve been


    bullied!”


    “Mr. Ford?” Vincent asked, mockingly. “What Mr. Ford? Even if Mr. whatever-you-call-him shows up, I’m


    not afraid!”


    Hearing that, Charlotte raised her brows and revealed stunning information. “It’s too early to say that,


    Mr. Coleman. Do you know who Mr. Ford is?”


    “Who?” Vincent asked reflexively.


    “Henry Ford,” she answered with a smile while ncing at the crowd.


    Everyone was shocked when they heard that.


    …


    Victoria simply wanted to rest for a while, but she fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, Evelyn


    was sitting beside her, with Christian and Gabrielle standing in front of her.


    “You’re awake!” Evelyn smiled. She then winked at Christian, signaling him to leave the room.
