Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 132

Wendy was about to walked forward to them. But Avril lying on the ground shouted out first, "You ba*ter. You can stay here longer. When the police arrived here, I will tell them that you attempt to murder me. Anyway,I have many witnesses here."

Hearing this, Johnson spat at Avril and left quickly.

He didn't want to get into trouble.

People were still gathering around to watch at Avril.

Wendy then squeezed a way to her and helped her up.

At the sight of Wendy, Avril's eyes reddened as she still forced a smile at her.

"I recognized your voice." said Avril.

There were too many people around, some of which were even taking photos. So Wendy decided to support Avril to leve here.

She brought her to the coffee shop next to the Nicholson Group.

Maybe because it was still the lunch time now. there were only a few many people there.

They took the seats under the parasol in front of the coffee shop.

Avril said, "Wendy, what coffee do you like? Actually, I wanted to ask you out for a long time. You have helped me find such a good and stable job. I should have treated you a meal long before. But... I am sorry, I spent most of my salary on the hospital fee for my father last month."

Saying this, Wendy smiled bitterly and said, "So I don’t have enough money to ask you out after that. But since we have met here, I can at least treat you a cup of coffee first."

Wendy frowned, "Thank you, but I don't need coffee. It's just a small help."

"I just knew it a few days ago that you're really not the one who revealed the photos of me and Johnson. I have wronged you for a long time. Sorry."

"Did you know who did that?" asked Wendy with confusion.

"It's Lily. She found out my relationship with Johnson. She may thought I had played a trick on her, so she posted those pictures on the company's forums at that time."

"Did she tell you this?"

Avril nodded.

"You've seen her recentlly?"

"Yes… She almost breaks down for Johnson's tortures. She then came to find me and had a long talk with me. We cleared up the old grudges between us. In truth, after I leave Johnson, we won't be able to have any new grievances."

"But I heard that Johnson hated women very much recently. He said women are all evil monsters. Lily besmirched his reputation by exposing the relationship between he and me.

My thing led an investigation from company to him. In the end, he lost his job."

"You mean Johnson was fired? "

"Yes."

There were many bruises on Avril's temples and the corner of her mouth. Judging from the colors, Wendy guessed it's probably not caused by today's fight. She then asked, "This isn't the first time he hit you, right?"

Avril bit her lip and nodded.

"Why didn't you call the police before?"

"He said if I called the police, he would tell the police that I was his mistress and blackmailed him for money. Then I would end up in jail. You know I have to earn money to save my dad’s life. So I could only endure his beating."

Avril looked at Wendy sadly, "Anyway, I've fallen down to the hell.  have nothing else to lose anymore. Now I worry you more. You know I could recognize you by your voice. So could Johnson. Did he see your face? If he did, I am afraid he will revenge on you for this. He's crazy now. You must be careful now."

"He can't do anything to me."

Avril seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "By the way, the person in the photo from yesterday's hottest new was you, right?

Wendy was surprised to hear that.

Yes, Ken and Julia could recognize her. But how could an unfamiliar old colleague Avril recognize her too?

But before she could ask her first, Avril continues, "The black leather shoes. I know you also have ones"

Wendy heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, not too many people would still wear that outdated shoes nowadays.

She bought then about two years ago. Back then Judy even praised her for such an ugly pair of shoes actually looked like a vintage on her. 

"I was shocked first, but I finally understood the whole thing. Joye did not have a love relationship with Mr. Charles, or she would have been promoted long ago."

"It's you that attracted Mr. Charles to come to our department. Every time he came to our office, you were there. You guys hid so well that we were all tricked by you."

"Skip the photo thing. I can deal with it. But about your thing, what are you going to do?"

Wendy made a tacit 'Yes' to Avril and changed the topic.

"I... I did not know yet. "

Wendy sighed. "When did he start beating you?"

"The day after he was fired, he came to my place to find me, asking me to sleep with him. I didn't even let him walk into my house.

He went angry and beat me for the first time."

Avril said as she made a wry smile, "This's the fourth time. This time, he chose to make a racket here. I think this might be my retribution. I have to pay for what I did in the past. I know I deserve it. "

"Don't be so passive. Even if you still keep silent, he will not let you go easily. But if he comes here to spread rumors about you, you will probably lose your job. And, no matter what you've done before, he can not hit you now. it's illegal. If you don't resort to law to protect yourself, he will still go on pestering you and make things hard for you."

"But if…" Avril became slightly absent-minded.

"There's no 'if' in this thing. You and Lily must retaliate against him. Or, he will bully you two for your whole life. If you give up asking for help this time, you might not be able to have enough courage to do speak for yourself again in the future. You can’t be a coward now."

Wendy learnt it well from her mother.

"Sorry, Wendy, I'm in a mess now. I really don't know how to do with him now. Do you have any good ideas for us?"

After thinking for a while, Wendy replied, "You should at least go find Lily now. You and her can work together on this thing. If Johnson come to find you or her again, you both should stay calm and get evidences to prove that he commits crimes. After that, you can sue him."

"But if he sues us as a return, what can we do? We did take his money."

"If so, he had to show evidences to prove his words. You don't make any contract or sign any paper with him before, then how could he say you blackmailed him before without any evidence? He was your admirer. So he helped you to pay the bills for father's treatment. He just wanted to win your heart. You did not force him to do that. There's nothing you should be afraid of."

Hearing Wendy's words, Avril regained some confidence. Yes... Wendy was right.

She gazed at Wendy with a grateful expression. She had to admit that Wendy's indeed braver, tougher then her. Wendy deserves people's love. lightnoveldaily.com
