Chapter 144: Return To Work


    Seeing that the situation was out of control, Estelle pulled Reba’s sleeve and whispered,


    “Reba, you have already embarrassed them. Let’s go. Don’t go too far. I’m afraid that Gretchen


    will take revenge on me and hurt my children again.”


    Hearing this, Reba snorted and said, “How dare she! I won’t let her hurt you! If she wants to take


    revenge, just let here at me. Besides, you don’t need to worry about the children. Mr.


    Mysterious is powerful, and he will protect you.”


    “Reba, you don’t know how vicious Gretchen is. She...”


    “No matter how vicious she is, I’m not afraid of her.” With one hand on her hip, Reba pointed at


    the fitting room door and said loudly, “Listen carefully, Gretchen. What I did has nothing to do with


    others. If you want to take revenge, juste at me. I’m not afraid of you!”’


    “Reba,” Estelle sighed and didn’t know how to persuade her.


    The silence in the fitting room contrasted sharply with the noise outside.


    Still standing there with an indifferent expression, Cristofer stared at Gretchen and waited for her


    reply, looking rather calm.


    On the contrary, Gretchen was anxious and at a loss for what to do.


    She had dated many men, and she was clear that when a man showed such an indifferent attitude


    toward her, it meant that they would never be reconciled.


    In her previous rtionships, when those rich men wanted to dump her, she would drug them


    secretly and have sex with them. Then when she got pregnant, she would ckmail them by


    threatening to tell their wives about their affair and her pregnancy.


    However, even though she had drugged Cristofer that day, Cristofer still refused to have sex with


    her. Ultimately, she had no choice but to take off their clothes, creating a false image that they had


    sex that night to deceive Cristofer.


    Today she asked Cristofer out to make thest effort to get him back, but she didn’t expect to meet


    Reba and fall into such a situation.


    “Gretchen,” Cristofer took a deep breath and said. “Fifteen minutes have passed. The reporters


    should be arriving soon. Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?”


    “Are you sure you want to know?” Gretchen asked in reply.


    “Yes. And don’t lie to me. I have told you that I hate to be deceived most.”


    “Okay. Since you want to know it, I’ll tell you,” Gretchen said with a sneer. “The car ident was


    indeed not an ident. Someone tampered with the car’s brake system, and I found it when I did


    car maintenance. But before I could tell your parents about it, they drove the car and went out, and


    then... the car ident happened.”


    Hearing this, Cristofer stood straight at once and said, “Who tampered with the brake system? Don’t


    tell me it was Estelle. It couldn’t be her.”


    “Do you trust her?” Gretchen asked with a frown.


    “Yes, because she has never lied to me. And she said that she didn’t expect that the car ident


    would happen. I believe her.”


    “You are right. It was indeed not her,” Gretchen sighed and said with a bitter smile.


    “Then who on earth was the one that killed my parents?”


    “Estelle’s father, George.”


    “Estelle’s father? What’s the difference between what you said and the result of the police’s


    investigation?” Cristofer sneered and said coldly. “Gretchen, are you kidding me?”


    With a cold expression, Gretchen hurriedly said, “The police’s investigation determined that


    George’s driving under the influence caused the car ident. But that’s not the case. George had


    long wanted to kill your parents to pocket your family’s properties. However, the car ident was so


    serious that he also died. And in the end, York became the one who benefited from the car


    ident.”


    After a few seconds of silence, Cristofer frowned and shook his head, saying, “That doesn’t make


    sense. If George had the motive for the crime, he should be clear that I would fall out of love with


    Estelle once he did that. I know how much he cares about Estelle. No matter how greedy he was,


    he wouldn’t sacrifice his beloved daughter’s happiness for his own interest. Besides, you are the


    one who was responsible for maintaining the car that day. Compared with him, you were more likely


    to be the one who tampered with the brake system.”


    “Cristofer, are you suspecting me? What good would it do to me if I killed your parents? I had noThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    motivation to do that!” Gretchen retorted.


    With his mouth tightening into a thin line, Cristofer stared at her with sharp eyes for a while and


    said, “You had the motive. By staging the car ident, you could make me fall into despair and cast


    in a bone between Estelle and me. And only in this way could you have the chance to get close to


    me.”


    “Excuse me!”


    “Bang!” The door of the fitting room was suddenly pushed open.


    The next moment, several reporters rushed in with microphones and cameras. They focused their


    cameras on Gretchen’s face and couldn’t wait to ask her.


    In a fluster, Gretchen immediately hid behind Cristofer, but it was toote. The reporters reacted


    quickly and took a lot of photos of her.


    “Wow, it’s Mr. Hans! It’s really Mr. Hans!”


    “Mr. Hans, is thisdy your new lover?”


    “We heard that you were going to marry the daughter of the Hudson family, Estelle, and you two


    grew up together. Does Miss Hudson know about the affair between you and thisdy?”


    “Mr. Hans! Mr. Hans, look over here!”


    Seeing the reporters and the crowd gathering at the fitting room door, Reba couldn’t help


    laughing and said, “Hahaha! I’ll let Cristofer, the bastard, know how it feels when his reputation is


    completely ruined! Now Gretchen has been regarded as a notorious shameless woman. No rich


    man will want to keep a mistress like her in the future! Estelle, I’ve taken revenge on them for you.


    Are you happy?”


    Looking at the crowd, Estelle nodded and said, “Well, I’m indeed in a better mood now.”


    “That’s good. The most important thing in our life is to be happy. The scum and the bitch don’t


    deserve to be forgiven. You work so hard and raise the children alone, but they enjoy a good life


    and even go shopping together leisurely. Damn it! Thinking of this, I can’t hold back my anger!”


    Reba said.


    Estelle looked at the time and said, “Reba, I must return to work. The lunch break is about to


    end. I have to meet a client this afternoon. Tim is waiting for me.”


    Hearing this, Reba nodded and said, “I’ve achieved my goal of punishing them. Now, we must


    wait to watch their affair hit the headlines in the afternoon. Let’s go. I’ll drive you back first.”
