Chapter 188 Rock Saved Her
Feeling a bit worried, she leaned against his arm and coquettishly said, "Mr. L, come back early too. I might wake up in pain during midnight."
"Hmm, I need to sober up," Darcy said.
Darcy carefully examined his words and expression, unable to tell if he cared about what happened with that jerk Winnie tonight.
Darcy pondered as he closed the car window and instructed Jeffery, "Keep an eye on L tonight and report his whereabouts to me."
"Lawrence R, you're blind!" Olivia rushed down from the nearby car, watching Darcy drive away in his Bentley.
Clearly, she had seen the friendly conversation they had just had.
On her phone, Laura's call continued. Laura had been waiting outside the hotel all night and heard half an hour ago that Winnie was humiliated inside by everyone!
She hurriedly tried to find her, but couldn't locate Winnie.
Olivia, with burning eyes, confronted Lawrence R, whom she used to fear. But in this moment, an invincible anger made her curse him.
"Lawrence R, how can your heart be so cold!? You heartless creature, she's carrying your child!"
"When Winnie risked everything to save you during your functioning neurological disorder episode, she suffered so much, yet you treat her so cruelly. Where is she now?!"
Olivia unleashed a furious roar that slightly darkened Lawrence R's complexion.
So again, she saved him? Well, her friend would certainly speak up for her.
His gaze became ominous, "Are you finished?"
"No, I want to curse your whole family! You tell me, where is Winnie?!"
"Where is she? Why don't you ask her, ask her suitors." Lawrence R sneered faintly, though a red malice flickered in his eyes, and Luke noticed his hand moving slightly at his side.
Luke sensed the danger. Just now, Mr. L was already the calm before a storm during the social gathering.
Not understanding Lawrence R's words, Olivia angrily approached him.
"Miss Smith! Please stop speaking!" Luke suddenly shouted, blocking her way and hastily said to the dazed Lawrence R, "Mr. L, please get in the car. I'll drive you to sober up."
Without saying a word, Lawrence R untied his tie and threw it on the ground, striding quickly into the car with long legs.
Olivia's pupils contracted as she watched him get in the car, feeling something strange, especially regarding the tie he threw on the ground.
Could this be the state Benjamin mentioned, Lawrence R's illness?
She bit her lip and suddenly didn't dare to approach, watching Lawrence R take the driver's seat and the car speed away.
Laura followed behind, catching her breath and saying, "I found out, Winnie was later saved by the CEO of the Harrington Group, Rock."
Olivia was stunned, her expression complex as she glanced at the departing sports car.
No wonder Lawrence R lost control like that.
However, who made him treat Winnie so heartlessly and viciously?
"Can we find out Rock's phone number? How do we find Winnie?" Olivia anxiously asked.
The sports car nearly flew off the road, constantly crashing into the roadside railing, sparks flying.
Luke's eyes sparkled, gripping the seatbelt tightly, while Lawrence R continued to accelerate.
He was too scared to make a sound. The car abruptly screeched to a halt near a luxurious apartment in the city center.
Lawrence R quickly got out of the car, his long legs stepping in an uncontrollable manner as he rushed into the elevator.
Luke trembled behind, secretly sending messages to Jeremy and Benjamin.
Rock took Winnie away, and Mr. L's surface calmness is likely to be worn thin, possibly triggering an episode.
The man stormed into the two-story apartment and locked himself in the study.
Luke stood guard downstairs, following his orders to bring up some wine. He immediately brought several bottles of wine, and as the door cracked open, Lawrence R, tall and poised, sat in the chair, looking somewhat serene, but with a vacant gaze, his beautiful elongated eyes filled with redness.
As Luke handed him the wine, he could already see the self-inflicted wounds on Lawrence R's arm.
Luke gasped, "Mr. L..."
Lawrence R expressionlessly touched his temple, his gaze deep and profound, and suddenly instructed him, "Bring Jeremy here."
"Mr. DeRoss is already on his way," Luke replied.
"Whoever touched her tonight, deal with them," Lawrence R said, his eyes closed.
Luke inwardly sighed, both puzzled and helpless.
The study door closed.
Jeremy and Benjamin arrived quickly.
They had just heard about what happened at the summit, and although Benjamin now despised Winnie, he still thought what L did to her at the summit was pitiful for her.
"I never expected L to be so heartless. He truly lives up to his reputation as a person who does great things," Benjamin said.
"But Mr. L also had Mr. DeRoss take care of those who humiliated Winnie," Jeremy shook his head, pinching his brow.
"His insane behavior is somewhat understandable. On one hand, he forces himself to be heartless and destroy Winnie. On the other hand, he can't let go, tangled between love and hate. It's the most painful, tormenting only himself," Jeremy explained.
"Darn it, if only the incident with Madam Rodriguez hadn't happened!" Benjamin cursed, burying his head in his hands.
While they were talking, a loud noise suddenly came from upstairs.
Something fell to the ground, and the study door was kicked open. Luke immediately ran into the room, his face turning pale. "Mr. L was already in bad condition, he's probably having an episode!"
"L?" Jeremy rushed upstairs.
The man in the study leaned against the door frame, his fingers trembling slightly, breathing heavily. He half-closed his eyes, staring at the clock on the wall.
One circle, two circles, marking midnight.
Lawrence R's thin lips formed the words indifferently, "Go bring her back."
He turned around and walked away.
As Luke entered the bathroom, the blood dripped from his fist all the way.
He sighed. Mr. L had been restraining himself, enduring tonight, but maybe he and Mrs. L were truly going their separate ways.
But in the end, he couldn't do it.
Luke picked up his car keys and ran out while making a phone call.
At Rock's villa.
The man carried Winnie into the bathtub. "You were frightened tonight. I had the maid adjust the water temperature. The doctor will examine you after you wash up."
He stood outside the bathroom, smoking a cigarette.
Soon, he heard the muffled sobs of a woman.
Rock frowned, his expression cold.
After about half an hour, Winnie finally changed her clothes and came out.
Seeing her tremble, Rock took her coat and draped it over her. He also brought ginger soup. "The doctor said pregnant women can drink this."
"Thank you, Mr. Harrington. Thank you for tonight," Winnie choked.
He looked at her with complicated eyes, a hint of regret shining in his gaze. "In just one month, how did you transform yourself like this? And how did you almost make Triton go bankrupt?"
Winnie hesitated. He knew about Triton's situation?
