My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 67

Zoe was indeed loyal to Allison. She didn't turn Allison in even when she had to bear the consequences herself.

She hoped that Allison would return her favor and help her out when necessary. After all, Richard liked Allison, while things between Richard and Amy were just a fling. Everyone knew that Richard had been in love with Allison since he was young.

Allison heard that Richard fired Zoe, and that Zoe was beaten up by Hannah and Hilary. Many people saw that, and Richard was even present. But he didn't stop them.

'Amy, you are so annoying.' Allison was furious!

Everything was well planned, but Amy messed it up. Allison could have posted the video online and ruined Amy's reputation so that Richard would lose interest in Amy.

Holding a pencil in her hand, Allison had a gloomy face.

'Amy, you're really lucky. You survived when your tongue was almost bitten off. Why don't you die?'

The plan failed, and Zoe got involved. Allison lost her right-hand man.

No, she would not spare Amy.

Richard opened the door and entered the office. Allison immediately changed her look and put on her beautiful and gentle expression.

"Richard, you're back. Let me get you some tea." Allison immediately stood up and walked up to Richard, helping him straighten up his clothes.

Richard immediately held Allison's hand. Allison's cheeks flushed and she lowered her head sheepishly.

"Richard," Allison said in a shy yet sweet voice. No man would resist the temptation from the way Allison behaved.

Allison looked up. With watery eyes, rosy cheeks and pink lips, she stared at Richard.

Richard did not have the slightest reaction to such a beauty, although this was what he had always dreamed of.

"Allison, don't play these tricks anymore." Richard released Allison's hand.

Allison hugged Richard's waist and cried.

"Richard, I know it was my fault back then. But when I was abroad, I missed you every day. I've given up my career and came back. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Allison cried, looking so weak that people felt that she could collapse at any moment and wanted to protect her.

"Allison, I have never blamed you. Don't think too much. I have to go to work now." Richard touched Allison's hair. Ever since he was young, he had been loving stroking Allison's hair.

His behavior caused Allison feeling as if they had gone back to the happy old days.

Richard was old-schooled. After being in a relationship with Allison, he never crossed the line, except holding Allison's hands and hugging her.

Allison felt that she was not attractive. When she asked him about that, Richard would answer affectionately, "Allison, I want to make love to you on our wedding night."

At that moment, Allison believed that Richard's love for her was real and unique and she could not be replaced by others.

But now, although Richard cared about her very much, she found they were distant.

"Richard, I'll get you some water." Allison wiped her tears.

Richard no longer loved her like before. Allison's tears used to wring Richard's heart, but now he chose to ignore them.

"Alright, thank you." Richard walked to his desk. He spent much time with Amy every day and the work to be dealt with was piling up. He needed to deal with it as soon as possible so that he could go to visit Amy in the evening.

"Richard, you seem to be haggard lately. How is Amy? How poor she is! Why don't we go to visit her tonight?" As Allison served water for Richard, she pretended to be concerned about Amy.

"Allison, it's kind of you. Amy has come to herself. She's fine. You don't have to worry about her. I have my plan tonight. I will go to visit her if time allows." Richard did not agree to visit Amy with Allison.

In Richard's mind, it felt that he was showing off his mistress if he went to visit Amy with Allison.

"But I'm worried about her. I'll go to visit her in the afternoon. She's my colleague. I should go and take a look at her after such a horrible accident happened to her." Allison insisted.

Seeing that Allison insisted, Richard agreed.

"Alright then, just go. Take care of yourself." After Amy’s incident, Richard began to pay particular attention to girls' safety when they went out alone.

"I will. Richard, you're the best." After saying that, Allison happily returned to her seat.

Richard smiled at Allison. Allison was always considerate.

Allison returned to her seat. She got a message from Zoe, saying that Brent had been crippled and asking Allison to be careful. Zoe suggested she should keep the video and make it public when time was right.

Allison deleted the message after reading it. She texted Zoe that she had received her message, and reminded her to delete the messages as well. Then no one would find the truth.

Allison stole a glance at Richard and saw that he was indeed busy with his work. He had been absent from work for several days. Except showing up on the day Zoe was fired, Richard hadn't come to the company again. Over the past four days, Richard had been staying in the hospital.

Amy was no match for Allison at all. Things between Richard and Amy were just a fling. After all, Amy was a careless woman, completely different from Allison. Once Richard lost interest in her, he would change his mind.

Allison calmed herself down, but she still couldn't let down her guard. She had to force Richard to marry her one way or another.

*****

Amy had been in a coma for four days. Therefore, she didn't doze off during the day now. She was recovering and could take a walk, but she couldn't speak. She learnt from Hannah that there were more than twenty stitches on her tongue. After all, Amy really wanted to end her life back then.

Richard got the best ward for Amy, which Amy was grateful about. The expenses were borne by the HD Group.

Sitting on the sofa, Amy turned on the TV and watched it.

All TV dramas were soaps. After switching among channels, she didn't find anything she liked. Amy then turned to the news channel.

"Amy, are you feeling better?" Someone pushed the door open and came in with a basket of fruit.

Amy took a glance, finding it was Allison. So she continued watching TV.

"Amy, I heard that your tongue was almost bitten off. Why are you so hard on yourself? How pitiful you are!" Allison felt even angrier since Amy ignored her.
