Chapter 28: The Man's Heart Is as Cold as a Stone
"Honey, you must have friends at the police station, right?" Amy looked at Paul expectantly.
It was not her first time to call him honey, but she was still shy and her ears turned red.
Paul answered coldly, "Yes.’
"Then can you ask your man to keep an eye on her? Don't allow her husband to visit her.’ Chris had a bad temper, but she had a good husband, who was honest and good to her.
She was emotional and fell in love with her husband.
She tried her best to have a baby with him.
If Chris met her husband, she would find Amy's lie.
She was in despair now.
But if she met her husband, she could hold on.
So Amy should make sure that Chris had no hope.
The moment she was pushed into the water, she swore that she would avenge herself as long as she was alive.
Paul glanced at her and did not say anything.
He acquiesced.
Amy was like him.
The fastest way to defeat a person was to destroy what he or she cared about the most rather than kill him or her.
Amy stopped talking.
She was waiting for Paul to carry her upstairs.
She couldn't move her legs at all.
So she could only go upstairs with Paul's help.
Paul didn't seem to carry her.
He lowered his head and was thinking.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't speak.
Paul was impatient.
He didn't like to be close to women.
He felt strange when he carried Amy.
He grabbed a blanket and covered her head with it.
And then he carried her upstairs.
Amy couldn't see anything.
What did he mean? Did she embarrass him? Paul put her on the bed and lifted the blanket.
"Sleep here tonight."
Amy thought that Paul would affection her after saving her.
It seemed that he didn't change.
‘‘This man's heart is as cold as a stone”
Since Paul didn't like her, it meant that the two-year contract was valid.
She didn't need to be involved in the property disputes.
When it expired, she could just leave.
When the door was closed, she touched her face.
She didn't know what is beautiful or ugly, but many people said that she was beautiful and her skin was fair since she went to school.
Paul didn't stare at her or change his expression from the beginning to the end.
He had the status.
He must be ascetic.
She smiled and fell asleep peacefully.
A foreign expert came to the Howard Family to check her legs the next day.
The expert said that she would recover in two months.
She was relieved and didn't grip the sheets hard.
"Tim, is Yvonne back?"
"Yes.The members of the Legal Department are in a low spirit.Our company's failure is written in the news.Each employee is thinking about a remedy.’’ Amy nodded and called Yvonne.
Yvonne sat in her chair unhappily.
When she saw Amy’s call, she frowned impatiently.
"What's the matter?"
"Miss Jeffreys, I'm Amy Turner.I've come up with a solution.We can change the cause of action from plagiarism to violation of competition restrictions in the domestic court.I've researched the two games.We'll definitely win and the Grand Group will get much indemnification.’’
When Yvonne heard her, she was furious and looked fierce.She couldn't even win the case.
Why was Amy so confident? And now she was interfering in her work.
"Amy, I didn't see you in the department, nor did I see your written request for leave."
"I've sent you an email to ask for leave."
Yvonne snorted, "Really? But I haven't approved it."
"I'm sorry.My feet were injured.I asked Tim to approve the leave because you were abroad" Yvonne was angered.
She suspected that Amy could work in the Legal Department because of Tim.
Now Amy asked Tim for leave and ignored her.
"Amy Turner, Tim is Mr.Howard's assistant and does not manage the Legal Department.You didn't ask me for leave and broke the rule.I know that you are supported by someone.Come to my office this afternoon if you don't want to be fired."
After Yvonne finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
She was angry for the past few days.
Now a new employee, who got the job with others’ help, called her and taught her how to do her work! Amy looked at the phone.
She pursed her lips and put it aside.
She researched and considered it carefully and told Yvonne.
She was certain that the Grand Group would get much indemnification if Yvonne did as she suggested.
The Grand Group was rich, but the case was about their reputation.
She took a deep breath.
She took the phone and sent a message to Yvonne sincerely. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
She analyzed her suggestion and told Yvonne why she couldn't go to her office.
She was sincere and admitted her mistake.
But Yvonne didn't reply in two hours.
Amy had no choice but to stare out the window on the bed ina daze.
During this period, the servants changed the medicine for her several times.
Nicholas also came to her for a talk.
However, he had to take medicine, so he left after a while.
"It's said that the Fallert Family's company has been shut down.It's really fast."
"Yes, a lot of police officers went there.Old Mr.Howard is as quick as before."
During nap time, Amy overhead two servants' conversations.
They must think that she was asleep and talked in a low voice.
She blinked and felt warm.
She asked Nicholas not to interfere in it, but he still helped her.
The Fallert Family's company was shut down and many affairs were exposed.
The people in charge were imprisoned and the assets were confiscated.
The news was spread over the city in the afternoon.
Although it was not a big company, it was rare that all the people in charge were in prison.
It was a hot topic and no one noticed the case of the Grand Group.
When Vera read the news on the Internet, she was frightened.
It was the consequence of provoking the Howard Family.
Fortunately, she asked Jane to do it.
She gritted her teeth.
Although she was unwilling to surrender, she didn't dare to play hardball before Amy was kicked out of the Howard Family.
"I heard that Old Mrs.Howard was about to come back.I can get close to her and ask her to kick Amy out."
Old Mrs.I loward had a bad relationship with Nicholas.
When Nicholas was young, he didn't want to marry her.
But at ast, he was forced to marry her for the cooperation with her family.
Mrs.Howard was considerate at first.
Nicholas was cold to her for decades, and she became cold and mean.
She would depreciate whatever Nicholas liked.It was a good chance for Vera.
She remembered the humiliation she suffered at the banquet.
So she wanted to avenge on Amy, no matter what it cost.
