Chapter 43 – Slander
It was only when the man got up and left and the door to the room closed that Linda breathed a slow sigh of relief.
She couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart; she had done nothing wrong just now, and Eric must have believed what she said, and now he must have gone to help himself out and to clean up Cindy.
She just needed to wait beautifully for the good news!
“Linda, why did Mr. Miller leave? Is he angry because you came to the reception?” Lily hurriedly walked in and asked worriedly.
Eric was now Linda’s big backer, if their relationship fell apart, it would be difficult for Linda to receive commercials and plays again.
Linda lifted her slender wrist and blew gently on the wound, full of joy, “He shouldn’t care to be angry with me.”
…
Cindy unwrapped the last of the crab legs, shivering the tender meat, leaned back and took another big gulp of beer.
Noman sat across from her and was not surprised to hear her belch.
“This place, is it to your liking?” Noman asked with amusement.
Cindy had eaten almost all of the food at this table.
“Not bad.”
Cindy propped her chin up with her hand, graciously took a card out and slapped it on the table, “It’s embarrassing to always eat your food, this meal is on me.”
The phone was on the table and vibrated with a buzz.
She saw the number on the caller ID and was stunned for a while.
“Who is it?” Noman saw that she did not answer and asked in passing.
“No one, a harassment call.” Cindy squeezed out a smile and hung up without hesitation, “Let’s go, I have things to do tomorrow.”
She carried her bag and headed straight out.
That number has long been burned into her heart, this life, next life, afraid that can not be erased.
Cindy shivered and waved her hand to Noman, “There’s a cab over there, I’ll go first!”
Noman finished his check and came out, but she had already disappeared.
He stood on the steps and sighed helplessly.
At that moment, in front of Cindy, four men in black suits, holding umbrellas, stood in front of her like a wall.
Cindy smiled, her eyes bypassed them and looked behind her at the black car parked on the roadside.
“Such a big show to invite me into the car, Mr. Miller really looks up to me.”
With the luxurious leather blanket under her feet and the air conditioning in the car, Cindy felt much warmer, and then looked at the man beside her, but she still looked so uncomfortable.
“Are you trying to get justice for Linda?”
Eric leaned back in his chair, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, his voice cold, “You just got out of jail not long ago, don’t make trouble. If you are targeted by reporters …”
“Don’t bother.”
Cindy leaned back in the same chair, smiling brightly, but also clear and cold, “You should hate my death as much as Linda does, no need to pretend.”
“I’ve lost more than one child; Linda can’t stand it after experiencing only this little bit?”
Outside the window, the rain fell even harder.
“Mr. Miller, not here to avenge your little petite wife? If not, then I’m getting off.” She reached out to push the door.
But just before her whole body could react, there was a huge force that pulled her back again.
Cindy subconsciously lifted her head and saw Eric’s cold eyes.
She couldn’t help but shrink back when such eyes stared at her.
Eric never said anything, just stared at her, even the breath sprayed on her face, also with a chill.
This chill made Cindy’s back densely crawl with a layer of cold sweat, she subconsciously wanted to hide, but in the next second, Eric suddenly lowered his head and directly blocked her lips.
“Woo!”
But the man’s hand did not hesitate to rush to her dress zipper to strip.
Cindy instinctively struggled, “You let go of me!”
Eric stopped moving and looked into Cindy’s eyes for a moment, “Haven’t you always wanted to get back at me? Is that all you can do? What’s the point of being so petty?”
His voice was still cool, but the words he spoke were venomous. “Just one word from me and you can disappear completely in New York. Cindy, don’t make any more unnecessary struggles. Be good, okay?”
Cindy’s hand, fiercely clenched into a fist.
Humiliation, he could always humiliate her so lightly.
“Yes, I do want to get back at you, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet. These are just appetizers, Mr. Miller. Don’t be in a hurry.”
The air in the car was condensed to ice.
Combined with the somewhat small space, the two breathing just leapt together, rising and falling.
“What, first you invest in a car race, then you follow me to the hotel, and now you strip me of my clothes. Mr. Miller, you’re not short of women, are you? Linda can’t satisfy you? Or …” she paused, “are you in love with me?”
Cindy’s shirt was ripped to shreds, her beautiful collarbone reflected in the man’s eyes, and he suppressed the last impulse, his dark eyes staring at the bright face.
Love her? This woman really dares to think. But these few words seemed to poke through him, stabbing him with pain and irritation.
“Get out.” He finally suppressed that anger.
Seeing that he was angry, Cindy responded indifferently, anyway, she was not willing to stay in the car for a moment, she slowly organized her clothes, directly pushed open the car door and walked into the rain.
The muddy water wrapped around her ankles, cold and stinging, but she didn’t seem to feel half of it.
That back, Eric looked through the car window for a long time …
” Brown, the surveillance video, pulled out?”
“Mr. Miller, it’s been sent to your phone.”
The man clicked on the play button.
The surveillance video cannot lie.
When the picture ended, Eric’s eyes were already cold to the extreme, his eyes glanced in the direction Cindy left and tiredly ordered, “Go to the office.”
She is really stubborn, not even a word of explanation.
