Billionaire’s Mistress

Suddenly, my phone rang.

I picked up the phone and saw the caller ID. It was Alvin.

“Hello, Mr. Alvin.”

“Miss Leanna, where are you?”

“I’m..”

“Forget it. I don’t care where you are now. Anyway, you must appear in front of me before two o’clock this afternoon.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?” I’m confused.

“What happened? I have to ask you. Anyway, you are in big trouble this time. Show up quickly!” After saying that, Alvin hung up the phone.

I looked at my phone, confused.

I’m in big trouble?

What kind of trouble was it?

“What’s wrong?”

Although it’s hard to say, I have to look up at him and beg in a low voice, “Mr. Edmund, could you lend me some more money? I want to buy a ticket back to City X.”

“What happened?” He asked.

“I don’t know. Anyway, Mr. Alvin asked me to appear in front of him before 2 p. m.”

He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Sofia, book me a ticket to City X in two hours. I’ll send you the name and ID card number right away.”

I immediately edited my name and ID card number into a message and sent it to Edmund’s mobile phone. Edmund forwarded it to the secretary.

When I stood up and was about to leave, Edmund took out his wallet and handed me all the cash. “I’m not used to carrying too much cash with me, only so much. Take it.”

Looking at the stack of bills, I waved my hand and said, “no… don’t bother. Two hundred is enough. I just want the fare.”

“Take it.” He put the money in my hand, walked out of the restaurant and got on the car.

I took the money and was grateful to him.

Although he pretended to be a mean man a few minutes ago, he was so generous now. I don’t know what kind of person he is and why he changes so fast.

“What are you waiting for? Get in the car.” In the car, he was urging.

“No, thanks. I can take a taxi.” The airport is too far away. I know how precious his time is. He has been delayed for a whole morning because of my father. Now I really don’t dare to bother him anymore.

At this time, Edmund’s phone rang again.

“What’s the matter?” He answered the phone.

“master, it’s me. Old master is in good spirits today. He wants to see you. Can you go back to the mansion now?”

“Okay.” He put down his phone and turned to look at me. After saying “be careful”, he stepped on the pedal and the car drove away from my sight at an extremely fast speed.

I got off the plane and went straight to the club.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the club, I felt the strange gaze from my colleagues.

Everyone was pointing at me and whispering.

I don’t know what happened. I took the elevator to the five floor.

As soon as I entered Alvin’s office, I saw two men in suits sitting on the sofa. One of them was in his forties and the other was in his twenties.

“Mr. Alvin, what happened?” I walked up to Alvin and asked him directly without taking a rest.

When Alvin saw me, he immediately stood up and pulled me to the sofa. He said to the two men, “two leaders, this is Leanna. If you have anything, just ask her.”

The two men also stood up, looked at me up and down and asked, “are you Leanna?”

“Yes, sir.” “Who are you?”

“We are from the investigation team of the Municipal Commission of police investigation. I have something to ask you.” Said the middle-aged man. He took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it to me. “Is the woman on it you?”

I took a look at the photo. It was a photo of me playing cards published in the newspaper.

Although I didn’t understand what he meant, I still nodded and said, “yes.”

“Okay, please come with us. We need your cooperation and investigation.” The man said and was about to take me away by force.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Seeing this, I turned to look at Alvin, hoping he could help me.

However, in this situation, it seemed that Alvin could do nothing to help. He just looked at me sympathetically, but didn’t dare to say anything more.

Edmund’s POV

I will accompany old master to have lunch and send him upstairs to rest.

As soon as I helped old master lie down, my phone rang.

I took a look at the caller ID. It was Oarlan.

“What’s the matter?” Answer the phone and I’ll ask directly.

Oarlan was on holiday today. If there wasn’t something important, she wouldn’t have called.

“Mr. Lucian, something happened in City X. I just got the news that someone posted the information of Miss Leanna on the Internet. It was found that she was the woman on the table. In addition, when the Commission for inspection was investigating the case of corruption in the bidding of the Moon Island, Nigel firmly believed that you were also there at that time, and that you were on your side. Now, the Moon Leanna has been taken away and assisted in the investigation. I’m afraid that she will betray you … ”

“Book a ticket to City X right now.” I frowned.

Leanna’s POV

I saw a man and a woman wearing casual clothes in front of me. The two staff looked a little impatient. “I have told you many times that I know nothing. Please don’t ask me again.”

“Miss Leanna, I advise you to cooperate with me. There are some things that you can tell us by yourself. They are two different things that we can find out. I hope you can understand.” Said the female staff.

“I didn’t refuse to cooperate with you. I’m telling the truth. Mr. Edmund is a VIP of our club, and I’m just his butler. He’s not familiar with City X, so he asked me to take him to the scenic spots. I’m just a guide, and I don’t know anything else. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Edmund.” I was about to cry. I had said the same words more than fifty times, but these people were just patient and kept asking.

“Well, you said you were just a servant. Do you know the two people who played cards with you?” The man probably knew that I didn’t lie, so he asked again.

I shook my head. “No, I don’t know those people. When can you let me go? What crime have I committed? Gambling? But I didn’t gamble money, and I just hit and lost. Is that okay?”

Hearing what I said, the two looked at each other and said, “do you know the development bidding of the Moon Island? Did Edmund mention it to you?”

“No. we were going to the museum that day, but Mr. Edmund seemed to have received a message and then changed his route to the Moon Island. I don’t know what kind of bidding it is. Mr. Edmund has never mentioned it to me.” I tried to recall what happened that day and answered in detail.

“You said he received a message? Do you know what it is?” The man asked as soon as he heard the new clue.

“I don’t know. How could I peep at a guest’s phone?” As soon as I answered this question, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside. A man came in and bent over to whisper in the staff’s ear. The expressions of the two changed, and their expressions became a little strange.

“Stay here and think about it carefully. Call us when you make up your mind.” The two of them stood up, turned around and left.

After a while, they came back and let me out.

I didn’t know how I got home. The moment I got out of the car, I felt my legs weak and almost knelt on the ground.

When I entered the corridor, I didn’t notice that there was a black luxury car parking downstairs.

I went upstairs, walked to my apartment with my head down, bent down, took out the spare key under the flowerpot, and was about to open the door.

“You are back.” A familiar low voice sounded in front of me. When I looked up, I saw Edmund standing straight in front of me. His handsome side face was reflected by the setting sun, casting a perfect shadow on the wall.

I don’t know why, but the moment I saw him, I just felt a lump in my throat, and all the grievances hidden in my heart surged out. I rushed in front of him, clenched my fists, raised my hands and punched him in the chest.

While beating, I cried, “it’s all your fault. Why did you take me to the Moon Island? Why did you get me involved in your mess? Do you know how scared I am? I can’t go to jail. Hannah is studying abroad, and my father is like that. I still owe you so much money. What should I do?”

He didn’t dodge. He just reached out and held me directly into his broad and warm arms, letting me vent my anger.

I’m tired, lying on his chest and crying sadly, as if I’m going to vent all the grievances and pain I’ve suffered these days.

His embrace was very comfortable and gave people a sense of relief. It was not until I cried enough that I suddenly realized my improper behavior. I raised my head in a hurry and broke away from his embrace.

What did I do just now?

I was so angry that I punched him.

Turning around, I didn’t dare to look at his face anymore. I took out the key and opened the door. When I was about to walk inside, my arm was firmly held by a big hand. I was pulled to a wall from the door and supported by the other big hand beside my head.

“Who told you that you could turn around and leave after beating someone?”

I was frightened by this sudden move. My back was against the wall. I looked at the man in front of me with a trace of timidity. His eyes were gloomy. I didn’t dare to breathe heavily. My heart was beating fast, as if it could jump out of my chest at any time.

He opened his thin lips again, and his eyes softened a little. “Why don’t you speak? Wasn’t you very powerful just now?”

I opened my mouth and wanted to apologize.

It was him who got me into trouble. I was taken away and asked for a long time. Shouldn’t he apologize?

Besides, although I just beat him a few times, I didn’t use much strength. As a man, he shouldn’t be so narrow-minded.

I bit my lips and looked at him stubbornly. “Then what do you want from Mr. Edmund? Do you want to fight back?”

A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, and the aura around him became colder than before.

The two good-looking thick eyebrows frowned together, and lips were slightly downwards.

“I won’t hit women!”

After a long time, he opened his mouth, let go of his hand on the wall, turned around and pushed the door beside him. Then he stepped in with his long legs.

“Hey… You…” seeing him enter his own house like this, I was anxious and followed him in.
