Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

After a moment of silence, Adele calmed down a little and asked, “Why do you ask?”.

Damon casually closed the documents on his knee and said indifferently, “If you don’t lack money, why do you have to work overtime so late?”.

Yus uf Group was a company that paid great attention to humanities and care. He never advocated working overtime. Unless there was an emergency, there was no employee who chose to work overtime for a long time. And Adele applied for fifteen days as soon as he applied. It was really suspicious.

Moreover, according to his understanding of her, she was not the kind of workaholic who was keen on work. Therefore, after several deliberation, there was only one possibility left, which was that she lacked money.

Although Adele was not very clear that she had been seen through by Damon, she could not help but feel a little guilty when she heard him say this. Her hands, which were placed beside her, slightly tightened. She took a deep breath and denied, “No, I just want to focus on my career.”

As she spoke, she unconsciously reached out and tucked the hair on her cheeks behind her ears.

Damon looked up and happened to see her subconscious action through the lens in front of him. His eyebrows raised imperceptibly.

Perhaps even Adele himself did not know that she had such a subconscious action when she was lying. She stroked her hair and touched her nose, and he was very clear about her actions.

After a few seconds of silence, Damon said indifferently, “If you need any help, you can look for me.”

Although his words did not explain, they gave enough hints that if Adele really lacked money, just based on the old feelings he had before, he would also help her.

However, when the same words fell into Adele’s ears, they had another meaning.

She frowned and turned to look at the man beside her. His expression was normal. The words he said just now were as flat as asking about the weather. Immediately, an indescribable anger surged in her heart, and even her cheeks were slightly hot.

This sentence, coupled with his question just now, made her feel inexplicably humiliated, as if there was some improper relationship between them. As long as she opened her mouth, he would give her a large sum of money without saying a word.

Adele bit her lips, and a sense of shame emerged in her heart.

She turned her eyes away and looked out of the window. She watched the rain fall on the window and slowly slide down, blurring the outside world. She clenched her fists slightly and said nothing more in silence.

The atmosphere was cold to the extreme in the following journey. Ben drove the car, not daring to make any unnecessary movements. She held her breath and drove the car downstairs of the apartment.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Adele turned slightly to the side and said in a soft voice, “Thank you, Mr. Yusuf, for sending me back.”

As she spoke, she pushed the door open and got out of the car. Without looking back, she plunged into the rain and quickly walked toward the apartment building.

Damon paused and frowned. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the way the woman had addressed him just now.

Calling him “Mr. Yusuf” in a businesslike manner was deliberately keeping a distance from him?

He frowned unhappily and inadvertently looked up. He saw Ben looking at him through the rearview mirror.

“Drive back to the villa,” he ordered coldly.

Halfway there, a call came. Damon glanced at the screen and his expressionless face became a little more serious.

He raised his hand to pick it up and put the phone to his ear.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Boss, we have found out that those photos are synthetic. These things were made by the Ye family’s Young Master Zeyu who bribed people.”

Hearing this, Damon’s dark pupils emitted a cold aura. After a few seconds of silence, he said lightly, “Yes, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes revealing a dangerous light.

It was actually Xie Zeyu. This result surprised him a little.

“Mr. Yusuf, what happened?” Ben asked as he noticed Damon’s expression.

Damon pursed his lips into a cold line. He paused, and his thin lips parted slightly. “Has the Ye Family made any moves recently?”

“Ye Fengpeng has been busy with the Jade Water Garden project recently, but the progress is not very smooth. Ye Zeyu only cares about finding flowers and asking willow, and he can’t help.”

The business of the Ye Family in recent years has been neither big nor small. It is also considered as the middle level of River City. It has a reputation, but the strength is not enough. Everyone knows that the reason why they give the Ye Family face is mostly because of the old man who was in the business world at the beginning. But the old man has already been buried. The Ye Family relied on the previous glory and can not be proud for long.

In order to pave the way for his son, Ye Fengpeng was anxious. He wanted to find someone to cooperate to take down the land of the east city and develop the high-end commercial district Jade Water Garden. However, with the strength of the Ye Family now, he was afraid that his heart was not enough.

Damon was well aware of the situation in the Ye Family. The reason why he had not attacked them all this time was only because of Clara. He did not expect that before the old grudge was avenged, Xie Zeyu could not hold back anymore and extended his hand to him.

After a moment of silence, Damon finally spoke, “It is time to give Xie Zeyu a warning.”

He could fake those photos to Wes family. It meant that he had already investigated the matter between him and Adele. He dared to do it once and dared to do it a second time. If he did not care, Xie Zeyu would be even more savage.

Hearing Damon’s tone, Ben knew that he was serious. He quickly asked, “Mr. Yusuf, what do you need to do?”

“There’s no hurry. Check the places he often goes and the people he often looks for. Collect some photos.”

Since he wanted to fake photos to frame others, he would use the same method to let him have a taste of this feeling.

After working overtime for three or four days, Adele felt like a snail every day, turning back and forth. Although she was busy and did not have enough time every day, the money she gathered was far from what she expected.

This was not good. She had to find a part-time job and take some extra money. This way, the money could be faster.

When it was time to rest at noon, Adele finally had some free time. Just as he was about to lie down on his desk and take a nap, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

It was a call from Emily.

“Hello? Emily.” Adele answered immediately.

“Adele, why haven’t you been looking for me these past few days? I was so bored at the orchestra rehearsing that I went out to eat hot pot at night. How about it?”

“I’m afraid I can’t. Emily, I have to work overtime…” Adele looked up, turned his neck, and said softly.

“It’s fine, I’m waiting for you!” Emily said disapprovingly.

Adele sighed softly and explained to her, “Emily, I’ve been working overtime until past nine in the evening. I really can’t go with you. I’ll treat you to a meal in a while.”

“Nine o’clock? What happened to your company recently? Exploiting employees and squeezing out labor!”

Listening to Emily’s exaggerated tone, Adele couldn’t help but curve his lips and say softly, “No, I’m willing.”

“Voluntary? Adele, what’s wrong with you? Is your brain fried?” Emily asked in surprise.

Adele hesitated for a moment. When she thought of her father who was still lying on the bed, her heart could not help but tighten. She bit her lips and mustered her courage to say, “My father is going to have an operation. I’ve been gathering the surgery fees recently.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the other side fell silent.

Two seconds later, Emily’s laughter, which was a little awkward to ease the atmosphere, came over. “Is that so? Then don’t you have no time recently?” she asked.

As Emily spoke, she turned to look at Owen, who was standing to the side, and rolled her eyes at him.

Her brother had forced her to make this call, but she did not expect that Adele would not have the time recently.

In this way, her brother’s plan would probably go to waste.
