Chapter 56
All of a sudden, someone with a long, slender leg stepped out of the car. Gisele merely nced at
the scene, then quickly turned around and tried to dive into the bushes.
A man’s voice suddenly called out, “Gigi!”
Gisele stiffly turned around and let out a sigh of relief when she realized that it wasn’t Dorian.
She forced a smile on her pale face as she looked at Bernard’s towering physique. “Oh, it’s you,
Mr.
Murray.”
Bernard nodded in assent as he smiled gently and said, “We just left the police station. My car
conked
out, so I took Dorian’s car instead.”
Gisele’s nervousness red up again. Did that mean Dorian was also in the car?
When he noticed Gisele’s expression, Bernard calmly exined, “You don’t have to be so nervous.
Doge went to apany his sweetheart. Where are you going? Do you need a lift?”
Gisele broke out in a cold sweat. She was unsure whether she should reject the offer.
However, there wasn’t a single cab nearby, and the situation on Angie’s end was very pressing.
Bernard chuckled softly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Doge about it. You’re someone I look up
to, so I’m really happy to be able to help you.”
Gisele thought about it for a moment and then said firmly. “Thank you for your help then!”
Once they were in the car, Gisele gave Bernard the address, and they immediately drove to
Angie’s
apartment. Besides that, Bernard also filled her in on the police’s findings.
“It was determined that Mr. Doug’s death has nothing to do with you. It was done by a caretaker
who was
caring for him. She wanted to be his significant other, so she took this drastic measure.”
Gisele fell silent when she heard that.
Did that excuse even make any sense?
When he noticed herck of response, Bernard continued, “Michael identally found out about
the caretaker’s n and took a liking to you, which eventually led to that incident.
“Both he and the caretaker were turned down by their respective love interests after all. Oh, that

1. me. This matter is connected to Sierra as well,”
Gisele, who had been silent all that time, turned to look at Bernard’s dimly lit side profile and
tentatively asked, “You mean, she has something to do with this incident?”
“The caretaker bought that medicine from Sierra. McMin Group owns a pharmaceuticalpany,
and Sierra asionally goes there to perform free consultations.”
Bernard frowned as he said that, finding it quite incredulous. “She’s such a pampered youngdy.
It’s hard
to believe that she would provide free consultations for people in need.”
Gisele nced at the pitch–ck night outside and chuckled softly.
It was truly incredulous. After all, as long as Sierra asked him, Dorian would have everything sorted
out for her. Therefore, even if she didn’t do anything, she could still have a good reputation.
Gisele was used to such things by now.
Bernard saw that she was still silent, so he changed the topic. “Filming for the show may be
postponed due to Mr. Doug’s incident. I will notify you once we’re back on track. Okay?”
“Alright.” Gisele readily agreed.
After all, she had already epted the payment. Although the money was in the frozen back
ount, she still had to uphold her end of the bargain.
Meanwhile, Angle was anxiously pacing back and forth at the apartment’s entrance.
When she noticed Gisele getting out of the Maybach, she approached her with a look of
astonishment. Gisele, did that bastard-
“Why is it you? What are you doing here?”
Angle’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Bernard, and she instinctively took a few steps
back.
Although there was a certain distance between them, Angle felt a sense of difort enveloping
her. Every inch of her was covered in goosebumps!
When Bernard caught sight of Angie, his previously handsome face turned fierce. “I haven’t even
asked you what you’re doing here yet! Do you think you own this whole ce? Why can’t Ie
here?” “Why, you!” Angie was so agitated that she could barely speak
