Chapter 3
After I left the lab, I got on the Dexter’s car and headed for the restaurant.
Ten minutes later, the Dexter signaled me to look ahead. “That’s it.”
I looked up and saw an antique building, which was built near the river and carved with dragon and Phoenix in the distance. It was quite charming.
The name of the restaurant was Wilk.
After Dexter parked the car, he and I walked towards Wilk’s door one after the other.
When I arrived at the private room with Dexter, the staff of the research institute had already arrived.
He sat beside me and introduced, “many people have seen Aimee in the daytime, but now we still have to solemnly introduce her to you.”
Everyone looked in my direction. I nodded indifferently as a greeting.
“This is Aimee Miller. Everyone knows her name. She is Professor Baldwin’s student.”
“I admire you very much. I have read every thesis you have published abroad. I really like you so much!”
“It’s our honor to work with you!”
I said with a smile, “thank you for your appreciation. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future.”
The dinner went on very well.
Many people came to propose toasts, and I accepted them .
I’m not bad at drinking, but there are a lot of people here. Unconsciously, I’m a little drunk.
Seeing that the dinner was about to end, I excused myself to go to the bathroom and washed my face to wake up.
When I came out of the bathroom and went back to the box, my cell phone suddenly vibrated.
I opened it and found it was from my two babies. They asked me when I would go back.
When I saw the message, a warm smile appeared in my eyes. I was about to stop and reply to them.
Suddenly, my shoulder was hit hard and my phone almost flew out.
I clenched my phone and apologized immediately, “I’m sorry…”
Before I finished her apology, the man questioned angrily, “are you blind? Damn it! What a bad luck!”
As he spoke, a strong smell of alcohol spreaded.
I frowned and distanced myself from him.
“I’m really sorry. Are you okay?”
Seeing that he was a drunkard, I was on the alert and apologized again.
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front suddenly laughed maliciously, and his voice was somewhat erratic. “Little beauty… If I’m okay, you can drink with me for two glasses. I’m glad to make you happy, and I won’t haggle with you today!”
Hearing this, I knew that the man in front of me was obviously drunk and unreasonable, so I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I lowered my head and tried to get past him.
As soon as I walked to the drunkard’s side, the drunkard’s voice sounded again, “don’t go, little beauty! I’m very rich. As long as you agree to marry me, I’m sure you’ll live a rich life for the rest of your life!”
As he spoke, he laughed lustfully. Seeing that he reached out his hand, my face was slightly cold. I took a step back and kicked the man in the belly.
Because today is the first day I came to the research institute to report. I am wearing formal clothes with a pair of stilettos on my feet. The force of my kick is absolutely not light.
The man was drunk and his face turned pale in an instant. He shook his stomach and fell to the ground.
“Bitch, shame on you! It’s your honor that I like you. How dare you kick me!”
After lying on the ground for a long time, the guy gritted his teeth and raised his head, with his eyes red.
I glanced at him in disgust and was about to walk past him.
The man suddenly shouted at the corner, “come on! This bitch dares to hit me, bring her to the box! I’d like to see how she can be rude to me tonight!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two tall and strong bodyguards rushed out from the corner. Seeing the man’s embarrassed look, the bodyguard hesitated and said, “Master…”
“Leave me alone! Catch her!”
When I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer behind me, my heart tightened. I put one hand into my bag and tightly squeezed the powder. This is the incense making material I took today. It will cause a strong pain when it touches my skin.
If these people dared to approach again, I would let them know that life was worse than death!
When I turned around with the powder, a bodyguard who was about to touch me suddenly screamed and flew out beside me.
The next second, another man also disappeared in front of me in the same way.
I was stunned and then realized that there seemed to be a figure behind me.
I turned around and saw a slender figure standing a few steps away.
When I saw the person, my heart tightened and I felt my scalp was about to explode. Instinctively, I turned around and wanted to run away.
Penn’s pov
I looked at the woman in front of me with burning eyes.
In the middle of the dinner party, I felt the room stuffy and decided to go out for some fresh air.
ihad never expected to see this woman.
–Aimee!
It was her!
When I was about to say something, I saw this woman raise her leg and want to run away.
Without thinking too much, I dashed forward and grabbed her wrist. “Aimee! Where else do you want to hide?”
Noticing her struggle, I exerted more strength to my hand.
“Let me go!”
She turned around, gritted her teeth and glared at me.
“Let you go?”
I stared at the face in front of me.
We hadn’t seen each other for six years. Her face looked more mature and charming, as usual.
However, she was not as obedient and gentle as she used to be. Instead, she was more aggressive.
There was even a hint of alienation in her eyes!
Realizing this, I was furious. I looked into her eyes coldly and said word by word, “do you think I will let you run away again?”
Seeing Bill, “get rid of these bastards!”
Then I grabbed Aimee’s arm and strode into a box.
There was no one in the room.
When I came in, I closed the door.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that we could only hear each other’s breath.
“What do you want? Let me go!” She struggled violently.
I pressed her against the wall effortlessly.
There was dead silence in the room.
Suddenly, I found that the woman in my arms stopped struggling. She said indifferently, “Penn, let go of me. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Hearing her indifferent tone, I was slightly stunned. A moment later, I took half a step back, but I still did not let go of her.
“Don’t you have anything to tell me?” Seeing the change of her expression, my eyes narrowed slightly.
She said indifferently, “Mr. Carter, we’ve divorced for six years. I… I don’t think I have anything to talk to you.”
“What did you call me?”
I pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head.
But she looked away and said nothing.
Seeing her silence, I was even more furious.
Mr. Carter?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Yes, it had been six years!
Wasn’t this woman always so cruel?
She was so cruel that she even abandoned her own son and took him as a passer-by!
No one was more cruel than her!
“Aimee, don’t pretend to be a stranger in front of me.”
I tightened my grip.
Seeing her eyes were full of resistance.
I lifted the corners of my mouth sarcastically. “Wasn’t it you who said you liked me and loved me? Now you pretend to be a stranger to me? Have you forgotten what you have done to me? Have you forgotten, I haven’t forgotten!”
“I remember. What’s wrong? Mr. Carter now feels that he has suffered a loss and wants to take it back? Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you? To be honest, you were unconscious that night, and I didn’t feel anything about it. Now I remember, it’s just so so. But I did do harm to you, so if you want to compensate, I won’t have any objection.”
Well, a few years had passed, and this woman knew what to say to piss me off.
That night, I really didn’t have any consciousness, and I couldn’t remember the specific situation.
I raised her chin and said coldly, “but since you misunderstood me, I don’t mind serving you again.”
Then I kissed her red lips.
“Penn, let me go! Are you crazy? This is a private room! Someone may come in at any time!”
Feeling her struggle, I stepped back a little. Hearing this, I pulled my lower lip coldly. “So what? Didn’t you say that you would compensate me? I want you to pay me back. Are you afraid?”
Seeing that she didn’t respond, I leaned over and kissed her again.
Feeling her soft body, I stopped moving and almost pressed against her lips. “Don’t you feel it? Why is it so soft? Aimee, your body is much more honest than your mouth!”
she pushed me away and slapped me!
“Penn, didn’t you say that you wanted to marry Bonnie? What are you doing now? Are you revenging on me? If so, you did it! I was thoughtless and used such a fierce method to hurt you back then, but as you expected, I didn’t pester you anymore, and I won’t bother you from now on! So, let’s call it a day!”
After saying that, she gave me a hard look, opened the door and ran out without looking back.
“Sir, are… Are you okay?” It was Bill.
With a gloomy face, I touched my face and rubbed the corner of my mouth with my thumb, and my fingertips were wet.
Looking at the blood on his fingertips, I gritted my teeth and replied, “I’m fine.”
Then she walked out of the room.
When I walked out of the room, the drunkard and his men were still lying on the ground, holding and screaming.
I cast a cold glance at the person on the ground and turned around to order Bill, “which hand has touched her? Make it all crippled.”
“Yes, sir!”
Without saying anything more, I turned around and left.
After the dinner, I was about to go back with Bill. When I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I saw Aimee get on a man’s car.
As the car slowly drove away, my face was gloomy and my eyes were tightly locked on it.
After a while, I looked away and ordered Bill, “go and find out who that man is and what’s his relationship with her!”
