A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 96

Soon enough, a doctor of the Cordova Group was called to the multimedia conference room.

After a careful examination, the doctor said, "Mr. Russell's wrist tendon was lacerated. He must be sent to the hospital immediately."

Although Russell embarrassed Elvis, he was still Elvis's brother-in-law. So, Elvis asked the doctor to send him to hospital right away.

After he left with the doctor, Elvis raged at Audrey.

"You vicious bitch! How could you lacerate Mr. Russell's hand? Are you insane? How can someone like you become a lawyer?"

Audrey looked at Elvis innocently and explained, "Mr. Elvis, I am also shocked that Mr. Russell had his hand tendon lacerated.... You cannot blame it on me."

"We all witnessed that you did it." Elvis said furiously.

Audrey said tonelessly, "Mr. Elvis, I really don't know why you accuse me of lacerating Mr. Russell's hand. Luckily, we have surveillance here. You can check the surveillance footage to see whether I did this to him."

Elvis glared at Audrey, with his eyes burned with rage.

"Alright, since you can only show your remorse at the end of your rope, Mr. Bryson, let's check the surveillance footage and see how vicious this woman is."

Bryson calmly nodded.

Elvis sensed something weird in Bryson's attitude.

Audrey was appointed by Bryson personally. Wasn't he supposed to be partial to her in every way possible?

However, Bryson had never spoken a word for Audrey, nor had he broken off this competition. Elvis didn't know what he's up to.

With Bryson's instructions, the surveillance footage was quickly sent here.

Elvis asked the people in the monitoring room to play the footage on the screen. Meanwhile, he said to the shareholders and executives present, "As the saying goes, women are the most venomous. Let's see what happened between Ms. Audrey and Mr. Russell. The footage won't lie."

Then, the image of this competition appeared on the screen.

Everyone stared narrowly at the image.

Soon, it came to the last scene between Russell and Audrey.

As was shown on the screen, Audrey accidentally slipped and fell to the left while Russell suddenly wielded a dagger, aiming at Audrey's heart.

Audrey didn't notice that a dagger was about to pierce her heart. She was merely afraid that she would fall. So, thinking that Russell was helping her, she got hold of his hand. However, grabbed by Audrey, Russell swerved the dagger and it slashed his own wrist.

Audrey finally regained her balance. Actually, she just had a narrow escape. Meanwhile, Russell twitched from the unbearable pain on his wrist.

At first, Elvis was about to expose how Russell's wrist tendon had been slashed by Audrey. However, after seeing the footage, everyone fell silent.

Everyone saw that at that time, Russell wanted to stab Audrey's heart. If Audrey hadn't grabbed Russell's hand just in time, she would have been stabbed and very likely, had died on the spot.

To everyone's surprise, when Audrey grabbed Russell to regain balance, he accidentally slashed his wrist.

Seeing this, Elvis was also stunned.

What was going on?

Audrey didn't viciously slash Russell's wrist? On the contrary ... Russell obviously wanted to kill Audrey. Was this simply unintentional?

Compared to Audrey's carelessness, which caused Russell's injury, Russell was more vicious for almost being a murderer.

Shareholders and executives were even more shocked after they saw this.

"Who would have thought that Mr. Russell is so evil? He wanted to have Ms. Audrey killed on the spot."

"Clearly, he is no match for Ms. Audrey. That's why he wants to kill her. Otherwise, why did he suddenly take out a dagger during the competition? I think it is all premeditated."

"That's right. If Ms. Audrey hadn't accidentally grabbed Russell's hand, Ms. Audrey would have fallen to the ground, dead."

"Mr. Elvis even accused Ms. Audrey of being vicious just now. It was clearly Mr. Russell!"

"I heard that Mr. Russell is a relative of Mr. Elvis."

Elvis was struck numb.

'Everyone, stop talking!'

He asked Russell to kill Audrey. But how can he be that bold? It was okay if Audrey had died at that time. But now that Audrey was alive and well, it was impossible to protect Russell.

Russell, what a trash!

Embarrassed, Elvis hurriedly explained with a smile, "This is a misunderstanding. After all, Mr. Russell's tendon is lacerated. It is inevitable that people will suspect Ms. Audrey because they were having a competition that time. Now that the truth has been revealed, I have wronged Ms. Audrey. Ms. Audrey, please forgive me."

Audrey looked at Elvis with a faint smile. "It's good that the misunderstanding was cleared up. I'm a lawyer and a guardian of the law. Naturally, I won't commit any crime."

Elvis hatefully glared at Audrey.

Elvis thought that she must have done this on purpose. However, there was nothing in the surveillance footage that can prove it. He could not accuse Audrey of anything.

'Damn it, this woman is just like a cunning fox.'

She was such an evil woman.

Elvis's phone rang.

Someone called from the emergency room.

Elvis asked how Russell was doing.

Someone replied on the phone, "Mr. Elvis, Mr. Russell's tendon can't be repaired, so..."

Elvis said, "You mean..."

"Mr. Russell's right hand is disabled from now on."

Elvis fell silent.

Russell's right hand was disabled.

Without a hand, he would not be able to perform his work as a lawyer. Namely, Russell was doomed in his career.

What to do with his wife when he got home?

Because he had supported Russell and recommended him in public, everyone now gazed at Elvis in a strange light.

After hanging up the phone, Elvis stared viciously at Audrey.

It was all because of this woman.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have lost an assistant and wouldn't have become the laughingstock of the company.

At this moment, Ean announced to the public.

"I hereby declare that Ms. Audrey has won this competition and become the consultant lawyer for the Cordova Group."

Everyone present applauded for Audrey with admiration.
