Chapter 73 Eugene ‘s Privilege
After learning more about the situation, I found out that Jacqueline ‘s brother, Yuan Haoran, is 22 years old, three years older than Jacqueline . The two siblings are half-siblings.
Sadly, both of these men’s fathers and their respective mothers died when they were very young.
When I saw Yuan Haoran for the first time, I really felt that he was about the same age as Jacqueline . I could even say that his eyes were much simpler than Jacqueline ‘s.
Perhaps it was because he had been serving his sentence in prison in the past few years and therefore had not experienced much of the filth of society, so he looked a little more clear-headed, and even the look in his eyes when he committed the crime was simple and clear.
Twenty-two? At this age, I was still a senior in college.
Now , Jacqueline stood in front of Eugene and me in surprise . She looked at Eugene ‘s arm in a trance, and then said: “Teng… Mr. Johnson … How could you…”
Officer Lin’s face immediately turned serious. “The person your brother injured is Mr. Teng in front of you. Miss Yuan, I really can’t do anything about this matter. Your brother is suspected of burglary and attempted murder. In addition, he just got out of prison and has a criminal record. Even if you find the best lawyer, there is still nothing you can do! You also saw Mr. Teng’s injuries. Half of his arm was cut open. Do you still think your brother is innocent?”
Eugene didn’t say anything. He turned around, put his arm around my shoulder, and said, “Go to the officer’s office.”
I was about to leave when Jacqueline grabbed Eugene ‘s arm from behind and shouted, ” Mr. Johnson ! There is a misunderstanding! My brother… he didn’t mean to kill anyone, and he didn’t rob anyone. This matter…”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jacqueline looked really anxious and worried, and I could also see that she was particularly flustered.
Dean came over from the other end of the hall. I knew he was there, and I also knew that he was here to help Jacqueline .
Eugene and I stood there without moving, and Dean yelled at me angrily, ” Candice ! How can you be so vicious! Breaking and robbery? You are really good at accusing others of crimes!”
I looked at his ferocious appearance in confusion, and Eugene , who was standing next to me, spoke in a deep voice, “If the murderer was not a robber, then could it be you?”
Dean was stunned for a moment, and timidly didn’t say anything else.
Eugene put his arm around my shoulder and was about to leave, but Jacqueline stood in front of us again and begged, ” Mr. Johnson ! This is a misunderstanding! My brother definitely didn’t mean to hurt you! Can you please spare his life? Please!”
Eugene remained silent. His attitude was cold and his position was firm. He was not prepared to back down at all.
The two of us continued walking towards the office, but Jacqueline didn’t catch up with us. Instead, she stood there and made a phone call.
Eugene and I were about to reach the office, Jacqueline and Dean came running over for no apparent reason.
As the two of them ran over, Eugene ‘s phone suddenly rang. I glanced at the screen with confidence, and saw the words “Ye Wei” written on it.
Ye Wei…
I remember this person, he was the CEO of the cosmetics company that Eugene was working with, and he was the one who specifically asked Jacqueline to play the role of the rich second-generation playboy in this new endorsement. During the last meeting, he even teased me in a boring way, saying that I looked better without makeup.
why Ye Wei called Eugene at this time was most likely because of Jacqueline .
Eugene glanced at the screen, then frowned and looked up at Jacqueline .
I thought that, with Ye Wei’s face, Eugene would answer the call, but Eugene was smarter and more cold-blooded than I thought. He directly handed the phone to Jacqueline and said, “Did you ask him to call me?”
Jacqueline was so guilty that she was speechless. She held the phone with shaking hands and her eyes were dazed.
” Mr. Johnson … Mr. Ye’s call, I don’t think I can answer it…”
Eugene sneered, “Aren’t you two familiar with each other?”
Jacqueline glanced at Dean nervously . It seemed that there was really something going on between her and Ye Wei.
Eugene at such a coincidence . It must be that Jacqueline asked Ye Wei to plead with Eugene on her behalf and ask Eugene to let her brother go.
Soon, the call was automatically hung up, and then Ye Wei called again.
Eugene ‘s phone was still in Jacqueline ‘s hand. She held the phone carefully and said, ” Mr. Johnson … Mr. Ye called again…”
This time, Eugene pressed the answer button, but at the same time, he also pressed the speakerphone button.
As soon as the call was connected, Ye Wei on the other end said in a very polite tone: ” Mr. Johnson , are you busy? Why don’t you answer the phone?”
Eugene said coldly, “What is it.”
Ye Wei on the other end of the line came straight to the point, ” Mr. Johnson , given our relationship, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I heard that you were injured, and… it was Jacqueline ‘s brother who injured you…”
Eugene didn’t say anything. Ye Wei on the other end of the phone continued, ” Mr. Johnson , he’s just a kid in his early twenties. Don’t bother with him! Jacqueline is at a critical period of her debut in commercials. It would be terrible if reporters found out that her brother had been in prison! Our Jacqueline has such a pure image, she can’t stand any negative news!” He laughed twice in a weak tone, “I’ll come to see you tomorrow! I happen to have some cigars that my friends brought back from the United States. I’ll send you some!”
Ye Wei’s attitude was quite polite, but there was a hint of filthiness in his politeness, especially when he said the word ” Jacqueline “, as if he was calling his mistress.
I could clearly see that Dean ‘s face turned very bad when he heard the call.
Oh, I can foresee that in the future his head will turn into an endless grassland, green and lush, where sheep can be grazed.
I thought that since Ye Wei had stepped forward in this incident, Eugene would give the other party some face, but who knew that he didn’t take Ye Wei seriously at all. After saying casually, “I’m busy,” he hung up the phone.
Jacqueline was left standing there with a gloomy face, at a loss.
Eugene was pulling me into the office, and suddenly, Dean came up to me. He looked at Eugene with pretended sincerity and pleaded, ” Mr. Johnson , if Jacqueline ‘s brother goes to jail again, she will collapse! You don’t want something to happen to the model’s family in your company, affecting your work!” He bowed, ” Mr. Johnson , how can I make you calm down? How can I make you forgive that kid?”
Dean finished his arrogant words, Eugene ‘s eyes changed subtly. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at me and said with contempt: “Tang Youshou, the man you chose is really…” Eugene paused, then turned to Dean and said in a stern tone, “Are you teaching me a lesson? Or are you ordering me?”
Eugene ‘s aura was so strong that it immediately intimidated Dean . Dean took a step back unconsciously, swallowing nervously.
Eugene opened the office door in front of him, but he did not go in. Instead, he stood there straight for three seconds. Then, he turned around indifferently and asked Dean with a hint of meaning : ” Jacqueline and Candice , which one is your wife?”
Dean was stunned and said nervously, “Of course… Candice .”
Eugene nodded pretentiously, raised the corner of his mouth wickedly, and said, “Then ask your wife’s opinion on this matter. My opinion is her opinion.”
After he finished speaking, Dean looked at me with a grim face, and I didn’t expect that Eugene would do such a thing.
Having given me such a great privilege, I took the opportunity to slap Dean hard in the face.
I decide? That depends on how Dean begs me!
