Chapter 700 Fooled by Layman
Thinking of the frozen property and the confiscated recreational vehicle, Layman's anger kept burning.
He stepped forward, raised the stick in his hand, and was about to hit him a few more times to relieve his anger, but was stopped by one of his men.
"Layman, it's not good to do it now."
Layman glared at his man, full of rage.
The man beside him advised, "Layman, have you forgotten our plan? When he wakes up later, the show will officially begin. You want him to lose his reputation, don't you?"
Layman's eyes widened. "I just want him to die!"
"Layman, if he's dead, his legacy will be passed down to his wife. If Eliza finds out the truth, she will deal with your daughter. Even if it's not for yourself, you must think for her!"
Hearing that, Layman stopped and looked at his man.
"Beau didn't come alone. His men will probably catch up soon. Although we have intercepted Beau's text, this is not a long-term solution."
"Even if you are investigated now, you still have a time limit. You will be locked up for a few years. If you really kill someone, the result will be different!"
The man's earnest words finally made Layman give up the idea of killing Beau. But the hatred in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, waiting for the day when it would burst out.
At this moment, Beau, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved. He looked like he was about to wake up.
Layman and his man looked at each other. They quickly took off Beau's shirt and threw him onto the bed.
Layman walked to Sonya and tore off the tape on her mouth. He threatened her in a low voice, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll kill your whole family."
Sonya was so scared that she kept shaking her head. Only then did Layman hide in the closet with his man.
The man took a walkie-talkie and said something. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Valentine? Are you there?"
"Mr. Valentine!"
"Bang bang bang."
Beau was finally woken up. He covered his forehead and sat up from the bed. His first reaction was to check his own body.
When he noticed that he was not wearing his clothes, his expression turned serious. He hurriedly took his coat and was about to put it on, but he saw Sonya on the other side.
Beau was stunned. He immediately covered Sonya with the quilt, and his face gradually darkened.
He was fooled.
Beau's mind was racing as he tried to think of a way out. The knocking on the door was getting more and more intense.
Before Beau could think of a solution, the person outside the door couldn't wait any longer and kicked the door open.
A moment later, a large group of reporters rushed in and took photos of Beau, who had not yet put on his clothes, and Sonya, who was on the other side.
"Oh my god! Beau is actually having an affair!"
"He was caught in bed! Sure enough, men are all the same."
"It's big news that he's caught cheating his wife!"
"Rich people are really good at playing, and he even tied her up."
Beau was blocked by a group of people. They kept taking his pictures and his face became darker and darker.
"Mr. Valentine, you came out to have fun with another female celebrity. May I ask if Eliza knows this?"
"Mr. Valentine, do you have anything else to explain now?"
"This woman is Sonya! She's the person who blackmailed Eliza before!"
Some bold reporters rushed over to lift the quilt and recognized Sonya. The crowd was amazed again.
Beau's face darkened as he explained, "I didn't do anything."
"Nothing? You didn't get a room with anyone, and you didn't cheat?"
"You've already taken off your clothes. Isn't it a little fake if you continue to deny it?"
The reporters weren't easy to fool, and the one who made a mistake was Beau. Everyone was actually not afraid of him anymore. Instead, they were full of momentum. Some of them were even Eliza's fans. Now, they were even more indignant.
Beau was surrounded by the crowd, unable to defend himself.
Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the door. They separated the crowd and stood in front of Beau.
"Mr. Valentine!" Noah's face darkened and he felt very guilty.
"Let's get out of here first."
"Okay."
This time, Noah brought the security guards of the hotel. They forcefully pushed away the reporters aside and protected Beau out of the hotel.
When the car was driven out of the hotel, there were still many reporters chasing after it.
"Mr. Valentine, what's going on?"
"I was fooled by Layman."
Beau pressed down on his forehead. There were still traces of a stick hitting him, leaving behind a dark bruise.
The pain couldn't compare to the regret in Beau's heart.
It was such a simple trap, but he didn't see it through. He even let someone like Layman to plot against him. He was really annoyed at the thought of it.
Noah looked serious. "What's the relationship between Layman and Mr. Hughes?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. By the way, how did you find me? Did you receive my text message?"
"What text message?"
Beau took out his phone and found that the message had not been sent at all.
He was very annoyed, but Noah explained to him, "I went to room 1803 to look for you, but I didn't see you, so I knew something was wrong. But there were too many rooms here. It took me some time to check the surveillance. Only then did I know that you had gone to the 16th floor."
Beau was shocked and asked, "Have you backed up the surveillance video?"
Noah nodded. "There is a backup, but it only showed you getting out of the elevator. The surveillance video in the corridor is broken, so..."
He brought his men to the 16th floor. When he heard the noise here, he rushed in.
Beau's face was dark. "Give me the computer."
Regarding this matter, he wanted to block the news. He absolutely couldn't let others know what had happened today. Otherwise, it would be a serious blow to Eliza.
Noah handed out the notebook, and Beau quickly turned it on. After he checked the Internet, he found that it was too late.
Among the reporters just now, someone had actually started a live broadcast.
Now, everyone on the Internet thought that he had cheated on Eliza and was scolding him.
Numerous curses filled the air. Many people were saying that the relationship between him and Eliza was fake and their love was just an act.
"Mr. Valentine, we will suppress the hot search and block their IDs!"
Noah also saw those discussions, and his face was very ugly.
Beau shook his head. "It's too late. Blocking at this time is equivalent to going against everyone on the Internet."
"But..." Noah couldn't bear it. "If Mrs. Valentine sees this..."
Beau's entire body shook. "Eliza... Yes, she's being interviewed right now. If anyone sees the news and makes things difficult for her with this matter..."
Thinking of the consequences of this matter, Beau couldn't care less.
He didn't care about being misunderstood or insulted.
As long as Eliza trusted him, as long as she was not hurt, everything could be solved.
"Stop the car! Turn around!"
"Mr. Valentine?"
"I'm going to find Eliza. I'm going to explain it to her in person."
Noah quickly pulled Beau back.
"Mr. Valentine, there are reporters following us!"
Beau frowned and looked back. Sure enough, there were reporters, who were not afraid of death, following their car. They poked their heads out from time to time and took photos with their mobile phones or cameras.
Beau's eyes were full of anger, but he had to calm down and think of a way.
"Go to the intersection in front. You two get out of the car. The driver will pretend to be me and lure away the reporters behind."
"Mr. Valentine, let me follow you!"
Beau shook his head. "We won't be able to fool them if only one person gets off the car."
"But..."
"Cut the crap. Get out of the car!"
