Chapter 124
Through the glass, I saw Jenny's panicked expression. She replied: [What? I didn't hide anything from you!]
Mighty Tiger: [You're lying!]
Mighty Tiger: [If you had a social engagement, you should just tell me, but you didn't!]
We had previously agreed that if there were any issues, we would inform each other in advance to avoid any potential exposure on my part.
Jenny: [Ah, I... the social engagement was urgent; I forgot for a moment.]
She was still lying.
Mighty Tiger: [I believed we wouldn't deceive each other, but now I realize it was just wishful thinking on my part, a form of self-deception. ]
Jenny: [Darling, I... I really didn't!]
Mighty Tiger: [Enough, I don't want to hear anything more. I just wanted to see if you would be honest with me, but you lied.]
I sent a heartbroken expression.
Mighty Tiger: [I guess that’s the end of us.]
My hands were shaking when I sent that message, but they say fortune favors the bold. If I didn't clear things up today, who knows how many roles I would have to play in the future?
While I may be flirtatious, I wouldn’t fall for just anyone.
I’d rather spend the money for fun in clubs.
In the office, she was in a state of panic. She stood up from her seat and closed the window to prevent anyone outside from seeing what was happening inside.
She sent a voice message: [Please, darling, don't leave me, I... I swear I didn’t lie to you, I...]
I put on my Bluetooth earphones and listened to her slightly tearful voice, but I didn't feel anything in my heart; I was just impressed by how convincing her acting skills were.
Mighty Tiger: [When trust is gone, there is no point in continuing anything. Thank you for the company!]
I gritted my teeth and deleted her from Facebook, but I didn't block her.
As expected, she kept sending me friend requests.
Jenny: [I'm sorry, darling, I am sorry!]
Jenny: [I shouldn't have hidden things from you, I... I will tell you everything.]
Mighty Tiger: [It's too late.]
Jenny: [No, it's not. It's never too late, where are you now? I'll get there right away.]
Jenny: [I'll tell you in person, is that okay? I'll explain to you in person. Don't you love me anymore?]
She sent seven or eight consecutive messages, but because we weren't friends, she was limited in the number of messages she could send before being restricted from further communication.
Feeling angry, I wanted to leave her waiting. If I didn't show her the consequences, she may repeat the same mistake. That was especially crucial when two people have not yet established a strong relationship.
After a few minutes, Lily suddenly got up and entered the director's office.
She stayed inside for more than twenty minutes before coming out, and I didn't know what they were talking about inside.
At that moment, I received a message from Lily from the other account: [Mighty Tiger, are you online?]
I smirked; it turned out that Lily was coming as a mediator!
I deliberately waited for a few minutes before replying: [Yes, what's up?]
I deliberately kept a cold tone, so she would know I wasn’t in a good mood.
Lily: [Are you in a bad mood today?]
Mighty Tiger: [No.]
Lily: [No? Did you have a quarrel with Sexy Kitten?]
Mighty Tiger: [No!]
Lily: [Well… She had to do so, you know.]
She sent a sighing expression.
I remained silent, waiting for more information.
Lily: [Sexy Kitten is divorced, and lately she's been dealing with harassment from her despicable ex-husband. At a social event last night, he unexpectedly appeared and even went as far as threatening her not to compete for clients. Ultimately, she was injured by him in the restroom.]
I furrowed my brows slightly, pondering whether what Lily said was true.
Lily: [I am telling the truth. She came to my house late last night, and I helped her apply medicine.]
Lily sent an angry expression. [I knew that scumbag wasn't a good person from the beginning, but he disguised himself too well, and Sexy Kitten fell for it.]
I thought, It's likely true; if it were a game, there wouldn't be such clear marks on her face and neck.'
Then it occurred to me that she didn't want to video chat, likely because she had something to hide.
Mighty Tiger: [Is she badly injured?]
Lily replied: [She is covered in bruises all over her body, that scumbag has a serious history of domestic violence. He beat her severely.]
Mighty Tiger: [Why didn't she report it to the police?]
Mighty Tiger: [It would be a lose-lose situation. That scumbag won't let her go; he's wealthy, influential, and well-connected. She's in a vulnerable position now; I hope you can provide comfort for her on my behalf.]
She said tactfully, "I was thinking, when Jenny went in earlier, she probably already told Lily about our relationship, right?"
But it was also for the best, to prevent any unnecessary complications in feelings between Lily and my alter ego.
Mighty Tiger: [I'll try, but I can’t promise.]
Lily: [Thank you, you definitely can, because you're the all-powerful Master Tiger!]
I chuckled and opened my contacts, accepted Jenny's friend request, and then typed a line: [I apologize for my suspicions towards you!]
She replied instantly: [I did something wrong too. I... shouldn't have hidden things from you. (Crying)]
Jenny: [Do you know, when you deleted me just now, I felt like I couldn't breathe.]
Mighty Tiger: [Actually, I feel the same way.]
Mighty Tiger: [I swear, I will never delete you again.]
Jenny: [I swear never to hide anything from you again.]
She sent a voice message; her voice choked up. Obviously, she had been crying.
I felt a bit guilty, wrongly accusing her.
Mighty Tiger: [Does it hurt?]
Jenny: [It hurts, it hurts so much I can't sleep.]
Mighty Tiger: [Can you show me the injuries?]
After a few minutes, she sent seven or eight photos showing her forehead and neck with the concealer wiped off, revealing the original marks. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing bruises on both hands, as well as on her mouth, collarbone, and thighs. It was evident why she was hesitant to take photos, as they exposed her injuries.
Anger welled up inside me. Damn, what a despicable person to harm a woman.
And to hit her so severely, even if they weren't divorced, would he still beat her to death?
I felt sorry for her.
Mighty Tiger: [I am gonna kill that scumbag!]
Jenny: [I'm in pain. Can you hug me?]
I wished I could rush in and hold her, gently massaging her bruises and dispersing the blood clots.
Mighty Tiger: [Tonight, is that alright?]
Jenny: [I look so ugly now. don't want you to see me in such a miserable state. I want to present my best side to you.]
Mighty Tiger: [Silly, no matter what happens, you're always the most beautiful girl in my heart.]
I knew she still didn't want to see me, but I couldn't pass up such a great opportunity.
Mighty Tiger: [Let's meet, okay? I promise not to touch you, if you're afraid, how about we both wear masks?]
Although online relationships are good, if you want to continue, meeting in person is inevitable. An online relationship without meeting is just playing tricks.
I felt a bit nervous, not knowing if she would agree.
