Chapter 591

Carter, still seething from Wendy's earlier confrontation, replied irritably, "No.""So you've slept together then."Me: ...Wendy was always so blunt."Mind your own business!" Carter sensed Wendy had an ulterior motive for asking and grew wary."You didn't deny it, proving my guess was right.""Wendy...""You, shut up!" Wendy, having gotten the information she wanted, quickly dropped her smile. "Keep yapping, and I'll slap that big mouth of yours!"Having known Wendy for a long time, I wasn't surprised by how quickly she could switch expressions.Carter, however, was different. He forgot he was still on the phone, his mouth slightly agape in disbelief at Wendy's rapid mood change.Wendy glared at him, looking menacing. "What are you staring at? Want me to gouge out your eyes and use them as marbles?""You...""You're just asking for it!"Wendy slapped the chair, making as if to stand up. Perhaps still shaken from the earlier confrontation, Carter's body involuntarily shu

"I'm not falsely accusing you. The police officer saw you try to hit me first."Wendy innocently covered her face. With her already slender frame and hunched shoulders, she appeared weak and helpless, evoking sympathy.Wendy had always been a skilled actress. As she turned the tables, Carter's still-raised hand clenched into a fist.The veins on his hand and forehead bulged. Like a raging beast, he seemed ready to pounce and tear Wendy apart.When the police and guards weren't looking, Wendy made a grimace at him.In an instant, her expression shifted back to one of distress.Wendy had a knack for infuriating people. Her quick grimace made Carter lose all reason. Even with the police present, he was ready to lash out and assault Wendy to vent his anger.With the police nearby, this would only escalate the situation. They quickly restrained him, warning, "Don't move!""Thank you, I was so scared just now," Wendy said as she removed her hand from her cheek.Her right cheek was n

"Yelling at us won't do any good. We base our investigation on facts," the police officer said firmly.Carter's words caught in his throat, and his face turned red with frustration. "I'll say it again: Wendy struck first!""We've questioned people, and no one can confirm that for you.""Even if no one can confirm it, that doesn't prove I provoked them first!" Carter was furious at being unable to clear his name. "How many times do I have to repeat myself? Wendy's a drama queen. She beat me up before you arrived at the hospital. I didn't fight back while she was hitting me!""Based on your description, we've found several eyewitnesses, but none can confirm that Wendy struck first.""You're the police! If they can't prove it, find a way!" Carter pointed to his own face. "I'm a man. If I had fought back, could she have beaten me up like this? Come on, use your brains!"Taking taxpayers' money without doing any real work!Carter wanted to curse but feared leaving a bad impression on

Chapter 594

When Carter learned that Stephen was Wendy's representing attorney, he cursed, "That bastard just won't leave me alone."Crystal had repeatedly warned him not to mess with Stephen.Carter sat in his chair, his face dark and his eyes bloodshot, looking terrifying."Mr. Kingston...""Go tell Wendy I'm willing to settle," Carter said reluctantly.Carter was known for his vicious character and ruthless methods. When someone crossed him, he would do everything in his power to make their life miserable.Wendy had publicly beaten him, causing him to lose face completely. In front of the police, she had twisted the facts with her silver tongue. Carter absolutely refused to swallow this insult.His lawyer was no match for Stephen and couldn't gain any advantage against him.The lawyer was about to advise Carter to settle and pretend nothing had happened, but before he could speak, Carter voluntarily suggested a settlement. The lawyer was overjoyed."I'll contact the other party immedia

Chapter 595

From their conversation, it was clear that the relationship between Carter and Joey was complicated. However, we couldn't glean any more details. If the two of them were to have a falling out, many hidden facts would likely come to light—impossible to keep secret.I had to admit, Wendy's move was brilliant. I gave her a thumbs-up. "Wendy, you're so smart!""That good-for-nothing is harassing you, and Luke didn't react?" Wendy asked."Why are we talking about him again?" I sighed.Luke and I were aware of our feelings for each other, but due to practical reasons, we were both at a standstill.Wendy knew about this, but even so, I didn't want to discuss this budding yet fragile relationship too much."Sweetheart, you're his employee. If a lowlife is targeting you, he should take some measures to ensure his employee's safety as your boss," Wendy pressed."He's busy with work. There's no need to bother him with such a small matter," I deflected."You're truly a considerate employee

Chapter 596

Stephen had been Joey's protector for years. Even without romantic feelings between them, defending her had become his instinct.His voice was cold and full of warning. "Miss Smith, you can eat your fill, but you should watch what you say.""Mr. York, you're such a smart guy. How have you been so stubborn about this for so long?" Wendy gazed at the blurry reflection in the window. "Joey is the editor-in-chief of First Media Magazine. She has influence at the magazine and connections in the industry. With social media being what it is today, hasn't she ever thought about using public opinion to expose Crystal's true colors?""There was a popular Netflix show about school bullying recently. What was it called again? Let me look it up." Wendy pulled out her phone and searched. "Ah, 'The Glory.' From the comments, you can see how much people hate bullying. This show got everyone talking.""Joey's a media-savvy person. If she really wanted payback, she would have used this chance to tak

"Come on! Just take us a few hundred meters further," Wendy said, clearly satisfied with Stephen's reaction.She leaned back against the seat, smiling at him. "Mr. York, let's be frank. You don't want to drive us because you're afraid I'll reveal more truths, right?""The car is nearby; it'll be here in a minute. You can wait outside," Stephen insisted, having just finished ordering the ride.Mr. York urged us to get out after calling the car."There's a saying: 'You can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep.' It fits you perfectly," Wendy remarked as she unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to exit.I followed her lead, opening my door as she got out.We had barely closed the car doors, not even having a chance to say goodbye to Stephen, when he sped off, clearly eager to avoid any further interaction with us.Wendy pursed her lips at his retreating car. "Men, huh!""Stephen knows the truth. He protects Joey because he feels responsible for her," I explained.Stephen was a ma

"She knows her limits. I'm going back to work now," I said, about to enter the CEO's office.Luke interjected, "There's a business dinner tonight. You'll come with me."I usually memorized Luke's schedule by heart, and he didn't have any engagements tonight.The schedule must have changed!I needed to quickly jot down the guest's name, preferences, and taboos.This was my first time accompanying Luke to a business dinner since becoming his assistant.Nervous, I asked sincerely, "What should I prepare for the dinner?""You're fine as you are. Just leave with me after work," he replied."Yes, Mr. Walker.""Get back to work now."With that, Luke walked past me, one hand in his pocket.Luke was tall and lean, his 6'1" frame impressively statuesque.His posture was impeccable, his gait unhurried yet purposeful, more striking than any runway model.I was lost in thought, watching him leave, until Brian's voice snapped me back to reality."What are you looking at, Ms. Middleton?

Chapter 599

Luke's guess made a lot of sense.Carter had many tricks up his sleeve when it came to charming women.Take how he gave me gifts and changed his image to engineer our "chance" meetings. After ditching the slick hair and flashy clothes, he looked much more put-together.He was polite and friendly then. If Luke hadn't shown up unexpectedly, I might not have felt wary talking to him.If we had met more often after that, I probably wouldn't have refused when he asked for my contact info. We could have become familiar that way.He was generous and skilled at creating surprises, making it easy to win girls over.When it all went down, Joey was still in high school—quite young. During her bullying ordeal, if a kind, gentlemanly guy had suddenly appeared...The thought made me feel conflicted."It wouldn't be hard to get to the bottom of this," Luke spoke again. "Carter's arrogant. People like him usually like to keep trophies.""You mean successfully winning over those girls is his '

Chapter 600

"Stephen is up against a formidable opponent," I said, then realized that wasn't quite right. "If we could prove that Joey refused to transfer schools because she was involved with Carter and had ties there, then what happened to her later couldn't be blamed on Stephen!""If that were proven true, Stephen would feel like everything he's done all these years was a joke," Luke replied.His words gave me pause."So, would it be better if it were proven true or not?""Better to be a joke than to carry a burden that isn't yours for a lifetime."As Luke spoke, he glanced at his watch.I suddenly remembered that Luke had mentioned a business dinner tonight.I quickly stood up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. I've held you up. Let's go now.""No rush."Luke started walking towards me. As he got closer, my heart began to race like a frightened rabbit.The thunderous beating in my chest kept me rooted to the spot, afraid Luke might hear it.He passed by me and bent down near my desk to pick u
