Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 114 Ten Million Dollars, Leave Him

As soon as Malcolm finished his words, Hugh suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock. "You are the first one?"

"Yes." Malcolm answered in a low voice. "I didn't realize how I felt about her until you appeared… It seemed that she couldn't go on like this. I met a rival in love. I fell in love with her before you. " He had led an easy and comfortable life in the past three years, and he was satisfied with the feeling that Poppi was always around him, as if she would do everything for him. But all of a sudden, Hugh appeared, and Benson returned back the country… He suddenly became a little panic. He was afraid that he could not control Poppi any more. He was afraid that if she really left with anyone, he would regret saying that he could let her find a boyfriend…

"Rivals in love… Although I don't want to admit it, but on the second thought, it seems to be true! " After a long time, Hugh was speechless. He shook his head with a smile and said with self mockery, "when? When did you fall in love with Poppi? Shirley said that you saved Poppi once four years ago. From then on, did you not contact her anymore? "

"Sort of." Malcolm touched his pocket and suddenly wanted to have a cigarette.

"Well, take it please!" Seeing this, Hugh took out his cigarette and lighter and threw them at Malcolm.

Malcolm reached out his hand, held it in the air and said smartly, "thank you." He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he opened the lighter and lit it. After taking a puff, he looked a little hazy as curling smoke.

Feeling that the sitting aura was too weak, Hugh moved his body and stood up straight, "then why do you pretend not to know Poppi?"

Taking a heavy drag on his cigarette, Malcolm said, "I don't mean to lie to you, Hugh. I only see you as my younger brother. But I have done too much wrong in the matter of Poppi. It's all my fault. Don't

blame her. It's all my fault. I pretended that I didn't know her because I didn't expect things to develop like this. "

"What do you mean?" Hugh frowned.

He paused for a while and continued, "I've known her for a long time. I threatened her with Celine, so she had to listen to me. I told her not to be with you. " Then he looked at Hugh and repeated, "as soon as you arrived at Ye city, I warned her not to be with you."

"Malcolm! you are a fucking bastard!" Hearing that, Hugh was so angry that he stepped in front of Malcolm and grabbed his tie, "why didn't you tell me! Is it interesting to watch me being a fool? How dare you stab me in the back! Didn't we agree to have a fair competition? Is this called fairness? "

Malcolm, with a cigarette in his hand, let it slowly burn. He frowned, not as excited as Hugh was. His eyes darkened but firm. "This is wrong. It was wrong to propose a fair competition at that time. Because there is no comparability between you and me, let alone fairness. " Seeing that Hugh seemed to be angry, Malcolm added, "Hugh, three years ago, Poppi and I had got married. Now, she is my wife."

Hearing that, Hugh loosened his hand and took one step away from Malcolm. He could not help but open his mouth in disbelief, while the blue veins on his forehead suddenly jumped up. The corners of his mouth twitched a little, as if he was going to cry out or laugh. It was a long time before he said slowly, "what did you say?"

"I have got married with Poppi." Hearing this, Malcolm swallowed and snuffed out the cigarette. He didn't need the cigarette as he felt relieved. It turned out that to tell the true would make him feel so relieved, even joyful.

"Get married..." His throat was very dry. Since he could remember, he had never been so shocked. "How could this be? You got married without telling anyone? "

"Yes." Malcolm nodded, "if you calm down, I'll tell you."

"I am very calm." Without thinking, Hugh gnashed his teeth and said, "go ahead."

"Quit?"

On the other side, in the magazine, Poppi screamed inconceivably, "Miss Pei, did I hear it wrong?"

"What do you think?" Emily pointed at Benson's desk casually. "It's good for the three of us if you leave. I believe you will find another job which is quite easy for you. " After a pause, Emily raised his eyebrows and turned to Poppi, "if Miss. Poppi asks for money, I wonder if ten million dollars is enough."

Ten million dollars?

Poppi couldn't help being surprised. After a while, she came to herself and smiled, "I'm so valuable."

"Really?" Emily looked at Poppi disdainfully. "For me, ten million dollars is just a little bit. Ten million dollars. Leave him. "

Looking at Emily like a child who was playing with his teeth, Poppi smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Pei, if the magazine office wants to fire me, I certainly have nothing to say. But now it's you who want me to leave and give me a sum of money. If this matter goes out, it will inevitably cause a discussion. People who don't know me will think that I really have something to do with Mr. Ji. I won't take the money. I won't leave the company. "

"Do you really have no relationship with him? !" "Don't pretend that you know nothing! You are so hypocritical! "

Poppi's heart sank. "Maybe there was really something between me and Mr. Ji in the past, but now, the relationship between me and Mr. Ji has nothing but work. Miss Pei, please don't believe those nonsense news. When Mr. Ji is here. If he wants to fire me, I will leave immediately."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

What she said was not on impulse. If she continued to stay at the magazine, she would have to be scolded and admired by her colleagues. In that case, she might as well leave. But she had to leave in an aboveboard way! If Emily did take her money, people who didn't know the truth might think that she was found by Benson's fiancee and driven away.

"Do you think you can do whatever you want with the support of Benson? !" Emily was even more angry, "you..."

Bang! Patrick's words were interrupted by the sudden sound of door opening. Both Poppi and Emily turned their heads to the door at the same time, seeing that Benson stepped into the office. He looked at Poppi and Emily, and pointed to them, "get out!"

Poppi was a little surprised. This was the first time she had seen him like this. He looked angry and disgusted. It seemed that they were at odds with each other.

"You want me to get out?" With her eyes wide open, the exquisite makeup on her face seemed to have a crack, revealing her true face of sorrow and resentment. She pointed at Poppi and said, "you ask me to get out in front of her?! I'm your fiancee, Benson! How can you do this to me! "

"I've told you that I won't let you mess around with my magazine. Do you think you're doing the right thing by secretly coming here when I'm not here?" "Now, please leave here. Can you do this for me?" He asked, frowned.

Biting her lips, Emily glared at Poppi but didn't move.

"I, I'll go out first." Poppi took a deep breath and felt she was stuck between Benson and Emily so she said to leave quickly.

"Why did you leave? !" Emily walked up to her and pulled her abruptly. Taking advantage of her height advantage, she raised her hand in an attempt to slap her.

On hearing this, Poppi lost her balance and turned around to see Emily's slap on her face. There was no time for her to dodge, but someone had already advanced to her and Emily.

Slap! The next second, a crisp slap fell on his face.

He turned his head, and five fingerprints suddenly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Ji!"

"Benson Ji!"

Both of them shouted out Poppi and Emily at the same time. Looking at her hands, Emily shivered back and shook her head unbelievably. Her nose twitched and her eyes were red. She raised her head and looked at him, "Benson, what the hell do you want to do?"

"Are you feeling better now?" Standing in front of Poppi, Benson touched the slap mark on his face and laughed at himself.

"You defend her everywhere. Where do you want me to live?! How dare you lie to me! " Emily was about to cry.

With no mercy, he continued, "it's our problem. Don't get others involved. Don't you know what I've done to you in the past few years? "

"The reason why you don't care about me is because of her!" "What's so good about her that you can't forget her for four years!" Emily shouted with his fingers pointing directly at Poppi.

Think constantly of me? Poppi gasped and forgot to move.

"None of her business!" Clenching his fists, he yelled at her, "she's already with another man. Don't make trouble out of nothing! No matter I miss her or like her, it's my own business! "

"Well, well, I'm making trouble out of nothing!" Emily raised her hand and wiped her tears quickly. Her expression became fierce again. Her glanced at Poppi, waved her hand and strode away.

The door of the office was closed with a bang. After letting out a deep breath, he stood up and let out a deep breath. "Sorry."

"Nothing." Poppi smiled awkwardly, "It is me make Miss Pei misunderstand me. I should say sorry."

"She was born spoiled. Her father and mother doted on her very much. And she was born abroad with unruly character. No one dared to go against her, which resulted in her current situation." Turning around slowly, he explained, "what happened between me and her has nothing to do with you. I hope you won't mind. Did she do anything to you just now? "

Poppi shook her head and said slowly, "Mr. Ji, I want to resign. I am very calm this time. "

"Obviously, this is not a good time." Benson Ji said in a hurry, "now, the rumors are very much everywhere. Even if you take the initiative to resign, it is inevitable that some people misunderstand you. If I help you clarify it, I'm afraid that it is harder for it to do that. So, you just stay here and I promise that everything will be handled well. I promise. "
