Chapter 24 Quit the Job, I will Take Care of You
There was another wave of pain. Kristen frowned and her face was pale. She could vaguely feel the blood flowing down from her forehead and her palms were badly mutilated.
It hurts!
“Kristen? Are you all right? Let’s go to the hospital!” Anna rushed over to help Kristen up. Seeing that something had happened and all the security guards of the mall were there, everyone stopped chasing after Kristen.
……
At this time, Taylor had dolled herself up and was heading to the TNK Group.
She did not have an appointment. Even though the other party knew that she was the Miss Oliver of the Davis family, they still did not give her any face.
“I’m sorry, Miss Davis. Many people like you visit our president every day, but he won’t see them.”
Looking at the receptionist’s disdainful expression, Taylor’s face was ashen. She clenched her fingers, unwillingly stepped on her high heels, and left.
Taylor looked at the tall building behind her. The words “TNK Group” clearly came into view. A glimmer of determination flashed through her eyes. The position of Mrs. Wharton must be hers!
As Taylor was about to leave, Jacob opened the back door and a man in an exquisite black suit got out.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly straightened her clothes and walked over in high heels with elegant steps.
“Hello, Mr. Wharton. I’m Taylor Davis. We’ve met a few times before. Do you remember me?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Ethan’s entire body exuded an unapproachable aura, and his handsome face was cold.
“I remember. You were jealous of Kristen and framed her for falling off the horse. You even broke into the restaurant rudely yesterday.”
Taylor’s expression froze, and she hurriedly smiled. “Mr. Wharton, the previous incident was a little misunderstanding. I want to talk to you. I’m not sure if it’s convenient…”
“It’s inconvenient, I’m very busy, you’re not welcome for TNK Group, just get out,” Ethan spoke indifferently.
She didn’t know how many times this man had told her to get out. She was the Miss Oliver of the Davis family. When had she ever been treated like this? Ethan was able to eat with Kristen, so why was he treating her so coldly? What was wrong with her?
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Taylor summoned up her courage and hurriedly said, “Mr. Wharton, Kristen has approached you on purpose. While pursuing my younger brother, she is also seducing Iszard in the production team. She has a backer supporting her, and who knows how many men she has tantalized in private. Now that the news has spread online, you shouldn’t be fooled by her appearance.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ethan stopped moving, and his voice carried a dangerous tone. “What did you say?”
Taylor thought that he had taken her words to heart and continued, “Mr. Wharton, I’m telling the truth. Kristen is not a good person!”
“And who do you think you are?” Ethan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Standing next to her, Jacob hurriedly said, “Miss Davis, please leave quickly. Our president has his judgment.”
“How dare she slander Kristen in front of Ethan? Does she want to die? If she goes on acting like this, Taylor will be finished.”
While Jacob was complaining in his heart, his cell phone in his pocket rang.
Not only did Taylor not leave, but she also continued, “Mr. Wharton, I believe you can tell my feelings for you. I like you. If you’re willing to try to know more about me, the piece of land that you want recently, and the person in charge of their company is a friend of my father’s, I can help you…”
“You don’t deserve it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan wanted to warn her not to offend Kristen again, but Jacob carefully leaned in and whispered in his ear, “President, something bad has happened to Miss Healey.”
Ethan’s expression changed. He ignored Taylor and drove away.
Kristen did not go to the hospital because she was entangled in scandals. If she went to the hospital, she would probably cause trouble again. So, she went straight back to the villa and a private doctor was invited.
At this time, the wound on her forehead had been bandaged, leaving only her palm.
“Ah… It hurts, it hurts. Doctor Wood, can you stop using it?”
Xenos said helplessly, “Miss Healey, bear with it. If I don’t clean up the wound, the wound on your hand will be infected in the future.”
Kristen had been spoiled since she was a child, so she was afraid of pain the most. At this moment, she was screaming and her face was pale.
Ethan quickly arrived at the villa. As soon as he entered the living room, he heard a woman’s voice and he quickly walked over.
“Boohoohoo… Ethan, it hurts!” The moment she saw Ethan, Kristen felt even more aggrieved.
The man’s face darkened when he saw the wound on her palm. Pulling her into his arms, he said in his mellow voice, “Be good and bear with it.”
With these words, he looked at Xenos, who was disinfecting the wound, and said sternly, “Be gentle.”
Xenos, “…”
By the time she was done tending to her wound, Kristen’s face was contorted in pain.
“Well, I’ll come and change dressings every day in the future. Don’t touch the water in the next few days to avoid infection. It won’t take long to recover.”
Xenos immediately put away the first-aid kit.
Kristen looked helplessly at the bandage wrapped around her palm. She wanted to cry but had no tears. Her face was bitter.
“Thank you, Doctor Wood.”
At this time, Anna walked over.
“Mr. Wharton, Kristen, we’ve investigated. The person who threw the vase was Jason’s fan. She’s already been sent to the police station, but she’s only 17…”
Seventeen years old, and still a minor. She would probably be released within a few days.
Hearing this, Ethan’s face darkened as he looked at Kristen’s wounds.
He pursed his lips and said, “Seventeen years old. It’s time for her to be sensible. She has to pay for what she has done.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Anna understood what Ethan meant. She called the police to explain the situation.
Kristen remained indifferent.
She was no saint, so what if she was a child? Everyone had to bear the consequences of what they had done!
After Anna finished the phone call, she spoke unhurriedly.
“In another two hours, those things can be sent out.”
“Okay, Miss Oliver.”
After they left, Kristen was surrounded by Ethan’s arms. Ethan touched her face, with his eyes full of heartache.
His deep voice was gentle. “Does it still hurt?”
“It hurts. I haven’t been hurt for many years.”
Kristen felt wrong but she was not being unreasonable. She had protected herself well since she was a child and had never been hurt.
In the next second, she was held even tighter by Ethan.
“It was my negligence. I failed to protect you properly.”
For the first time, he didn’t want Kristen to appear in the outside world.
“Kristen, Quit the job, I’ll take care of you.”
After that, Kristen froze for a few seconds and broke free from the man’s embrace.
“What are you talking about? Did I enter the industry for money? That’s my dream! Besides, it’s not your fault today. It’s all Taylor’s fault for exposing my whereabouts to the reporters. I only had a small wound and nothing serious happened!”
She, Kristen Oliver, did not want to be the object of protection.
Ethan glanced at her helplessly. He knew that this matter wouldn’t make sense.
He could only say, “Okay, then I’ll secretly send two bodyguards to protect you.”
“No, no, then you will know where I go and what I do in the future, won’t you?”
“What? What do you still want to do behind me?”
