Chapter 207 Scandal breaks out
Was it raining that night?
Lawrence R didn't dwell on it and didn't bring up the topic again.
He watched her quietly as she finished two bowls of porridge. The phone rang, and the man got up and went upstairs, saying, "I'll go sign a document."
"Oh," Winnie hesitated, he spoke to her again. Will they make up?
She felt excited but also afraid it was just a fantasy.
After putting the dishes away in the kitchen, Winnie went back to her room to get her phone. To her surprise, many people had called her! Rock, Laura, Triton's Manager Nelson, even Olivia had called more than ten times?
She was about to return the calls when the phone started ringing again. Winnie answered with a rare good mood, "Why are you calling me so many times, Olivia? Is something wrong?"
"Winnie! Don't you know about the recent news? You're in big trouble," Olivia's voice sounded anxious.
Winnie was taken aback. What news could involve her?
She immediately opened today's hot search and saw the headline: "Lawrence R's Wife Caught Cheating and Engaging in Intense Video with Another Man."
"...!"
Winnie was inexplicably stunned and anxiously watched the video. After finishing it, her vision blurred.
The room was warm, but she felt like she had suddenly plummeted into an icy abyss. How could this be...
"Winnie, how could you book a hotel room with Rock? The video is timestamped on the 28th before the New Year... Weren't you in Perugia City? Have you been framed?" Olivia was in a state of urgency. "Now it's trending, I can't delete it. Even if I believe you're not pregnant and not fooling around with Rock, Lawrence R might not..."
As she was speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the rooftop.
Winnie shivered and slowly got up, her face pale. She realized too late and rushed out!
At the stairwell, Lawrence R walked out briskly and stopped, fixing his extremely cold gaze on her.
Winnie's mind buzzed, almost freezing.
Outside the villa, Darcy glanced at the hot search that had stirred up the city in an instant, narrowed her eyes, and made a call, "Jeffery, have the Public Relations Manager from Island Electronics come to the villa estate."
She walked into the house and just caught Winnie in a panic, "Lawrence R, I..."
"Mr. L!" Darcy immediately rushed to him, pretending to be concerned, "You haven't seen any news, have you? Your health is not good to begin with. Don't look at today's news. Let's go for a walk."
She appeared to be peacemaking, but it was obvious.
Lawrence R held his phone, the page frozen on the video, with Rock's panting sounds clearly audible.
Winnie's face turned pale.
She shook her head, "Lawrence R, this is a misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation..."
"On the 28th before the New Year...
"You saved Mr. Lancelot in Perugia City and had a fling with Rock. You're telling me this is a misunderstanding?" Lawrence R walked down slowly and stood in front of Winnie. His eyes were cold and piercing as he pushed his phone against her nose. "How intense it was, you even kissed each other! Where did I get the confidence that you wouldn't dare to cross the line, you wretched woman? Is this some kind of game you're playing with me?"
"It's not like that!" Winnie explained, her scalp tingling.
"That day, Rock was drugged by his opponent and he called me in a panic to save him. Because of the strong effect of the drug, he lost control and mistakenly kissed me a few times in the bathtub. I quickly subdued him using Dry Needling. Do you trust me? Nothing happened between us, really!"
"Do you think I'm blind?"
Lawrence R scoffed. "An eight-second video, look at how shamelessly you clung to him, like you couldn't bear to let go. And you say nothing happened? So it turns out you two slept together so early on, I was a fool to be deceived by you!"
"I didn't, I don't love him. I love you! Back then, it was because he helped me infiltrate Mr. Lancelot's ward, I couldn't just let him suffer..."
"Winnie, you're so hypocritical. You've cuckolded Mr. L with such a big hat on your head, what else can you argue?"
Darcy rushed over and looked at the man with concern. "I can't stand it anymore, Mr. L. You might not know, but Rock is Mr. Lancelot's closed-door disciple. That night, Rock asked Winnie for help to save Mr. Lancelot. She didn't go to Perugia City because of you. Maybe she and Rock were already involved in an illicit relationship!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, Darcy!" Winnie exclaimed angrily.
But the man's gaze completely changed.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Darcy added fuel to the fire. "Mr. L, I've been wanting to say this. Winnie has been playing you from the beginning to the end! When Elliott retaliated against you, she joined forces with Alan and found a replacement, Rock! They have been sleeping together for a long time. She cheated on you during her pregnancy. These days she insisted on staying to take care of you, who knows if it's because Rock already knew you had Island Electronics, and Winnie wants to take advantage of Island Electronics!"
Lawrence R was struck like thunder. All his rationality vanished when he saw this video of Winnie and Rock actually sleeping together.
Darcy was right, she had a previous record of aiming for Imperial.
But it was too dirty, how could she dare to be this dirty to him? Wretched woman.
Lawrence R raised his hand and gripped the woman's throat.
Winnie held his cold hand and pleaded, "Darcy framed me. Please don't believe it. That night, I really went to save Mr. Lancelot because of you, it had nothing to do with Rock."
"Shut up, you harlot," Lawrence R sneered, his eyes piercingly cold. "Just ten minutes ago, I asked you what you were doing that night."
"And how did you answer? You spent the whole night with Mr. Lancelot. How disgusting," he scoffed.
"And didn't Rock see you in a sorry state? Finally, I know where he witnessed it!"
"Lawrence R, you've gone too far," Winnie's face turned pale, how could he say such things about her?
"Too far? You came to see me that morning, clothes soaked and dirty. Filthy," Lawrence R lost control, raising his hand to slap her across the face.
His eyes turned red, filled with deep resentment. He pushed her to the center of the room, staring at her swollen belly. He felt like his spine was being crushed, a piercing pain in his head. "The child in your belly is mine, you wretched woman. Defiled by another man, where does that leave me? I, Lawrence R, have never experienced such humiliation. I want to kill you right now."
He became almost frantic, losing control and raising his hand to seize her.
Darcy laughed cruelly, wishing he could immediately step on Winnie's belly and crush that bastard.
"Imperial Jewelry's CEO! What are you doing, Imperial Jewelry's CEO?" Luke rushed in from outside, followed by the managers of Island Electronics' PR department.
Luke quickly stopped Lawrence R and anxiously glanced at Winnie, who was barely conscious. "Imperial Jewelry's CEO, it's not good. The scandal has implicated Island Electronics in the hot search results. You need to handle the company's affairs first!"
