Second Marriage novel Chapter 185

The complexion of the crowd changed and Nathan scolded angrily.

“How dare you use drugs in the company!”

Ivy was scared and almost cried, “Sorry, it is really not my business. It is Arthur let me do so, he is my direct superior, I dare not disobey at all!”

Nathan felt anger in his chest, “Walk quickly, do you want me to peel your skin?”

Ivy led them around the corner, crying, and then she stopped suddenly, staring blankly before her.

Nathan pushed Kennedy around corner and saw the scene too, so he stopped his pace suddenly.

Only Yanis cried out in surprise.

“Charlotte... Mr. Manfred, why are you here?”

Manfred was holding Charlotte. With her head up, Charlotte closed her eyes. A clear palm print was on her cheek and bruise was on her neck.

The door of the room was open. Arthur was beaten half alive on the door, with injuries on his face. Mandy was next to him, looking terrified.

After she saw Ivy, she immediately was to walk toward her, but she stopped when she saw Kennedy not far away from Ivy.

Charlotte was still wearing the red dress, but the fabric on it had become so tattered that it was obvious that it had been torn. A large male suit wrapped her around.

Manfred held her petite body in his arms. The drug was too strong, so Manfred directly knocked her out.

This scene pricked Kennedy’s eyes.

They all did not expect to see this scene. It took a long while for Yanis figure out what had happened.

She had not seen Manfred, so she went to Kennedy.

But now before they hadn't arrived, Manfred had already rescued Charlotte, that was to say, Manfred came early?

“You moved fast.”

A long time later, Kennedy said with sarcasm.

Manfred wrinkled eyebrows. Although Kennedy was here, he did not put down Charlotte, but held her more tightly, and he said in a cold voice, “I know you don't like her, but she is your wife, as her husband, you should protect her.”

Kennedy pressed his lips and there were sharp light in her dark eyes.

“Didn't you protect her well?”

“She's your wife!”

Seeing that Kennedy did not care about it, Manfred suddenly feel wronged for Charlotte, so he shouted aloud!

Kennedy’s eyes were deep and no one could see through them.

“So what? I don’t want a woman lying under other’s body.”

“You!”

Manfred who had been always gentle was angry. If not for holding Charlotte, Manfred would rush forward to grab his collar and paunch him.

Suddenly, Charlotte moved and whispered unconsciously. Manfred leaned over to listen and heard the name of Kennedy......

His pupils suddenly contracted and he looked at Kennedy.

She called the name of Kennedy lightly, with grievance and distress, but her eyes did not open, it was obviously subliminal behavior and action.

“Do you hear that?” Manfred’s eyes were like hooks. “She keeps calling your name.”

That clutched Kennedy’s heart. He dangerously narrowed his eyes.

“But you?”

Kennedy darkened his eyes and said, “Give her to me.”

“Kennedy,” Manfred said and tightened Charlotte more tightly, “If you do not have the ability to protect her, get divorced.”

With that, he turned around directly holding Charlotte.

“Mr. Manfred!” Nathan stopped him before he took his first step, “What are you talking about? That's Mr. Kennedy’s wife, please put her down!”

“I'm sorry, but I have to take her to hospital. You can come along if you really want to save her.”

Nathan, “You...”

Manfred walked away.

Nathan anxiously looked at Kennedy, “Mr. Kennedy!”

Kennedy showed a cold face, emotionless.

“Mr. Kennedy!”

Holding Charlotte, Manfred moved forward and suddenly stopped, because Charlotte in a coma suddenly clutched his clothes tightly, “Put me down.”

“Charlotte?” Manfred frowned and stared at her unpleasantly.

“Put me down.” Charlotte begged quietly. She finally opened her eyes and looked at Manfred.

Those cold eyes were as red as the color of blood. Because of the drug, she looked soft and weak. Just now he had no choice but to beat her fainted, now she woke up, would the drug take effect again?

“Stop that.” He whispered to her, “You've been drugged. I'm taking you to the hospital now.”

Charlotte shook her head. “I don't want to go to the hospital.”

Her voice was small but firm.

“Do you have to stay? Even if he leaves you alone, and you still want to stay?” When Manfred asked this question, he suddenly hated himself that why he had asked his grandpa to advocate this marriage.

She was so tired now.

“Yes.”

Charlotte clutched at his shirt, “Put me down, or... he'll only misunderstand me.”

“I don't want to...” Charlotte's forehead broke out in sweat, and she said with difficulty, “Let him misunderstand me again.”

Manfred’s legs were like filled with lead. He did not move but held her tightly with hands and did not put her down.

“Manfred.” Charlotte's voice was with plea and her eyes were with tears.

Manfred’s heart softened. He had to put her down, and then helped her stand.

“Do you really want to stay? You're drugged now, and if you don't go to the hospital...”

“I know.” Charlotte nodded, “I know...”

But so what, if she really left with Manfred tonight, she would be misunderstood.

So, she had to stay.

“Kennedy!” Manfred had no other way since she insisted on staying. He could only turn to Kennedy and said in a cold voice, “Did you see that? The woman you misunderstand doesn't want to leave with me at all. She's drugged now. If you're a man, take her to the hospital.”

Kennedy’s eyes were cold, but Charlotte was hot as if she was in fire, so she could not feel that.

All of a sudden, Kennedy curled his lips and sneered, “Who said she has to go to the hospital?”

“You like to help her so much, why don’t you help her?”

“Kennedy!”

Manfred was completely angry and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Charlotte.

Charlotte pulled his clothes, and then step by step she moved forward and came to Kennedy.

“I am not a slut.”
