The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 258

"I have met Miss Ye before, and I knew that she was capable and hardworking. But what I didn't expect is that... her personality would be so different from her ability. Miss Ye came here and told me that she thought the budget given by Light House Company was way too low. And she hoped that that I would convey her suggestion to provide more funding. She then gave me a room card and promised that she'll do anything for me as long as I do her this favor."

Seeing that Hoada Masahiro was tarnishing her image with such a vicious lie, when in fact the room card was actually in her hand, which became an essential evidence, Autumn was growing more and more impatient to explain. As the people's suspicion grew, she was about to break down.

"Don't be scared. Everything will be okay." Charles stood behind Autumn, as he cast a cold look at Hoada Masahiro, who was pretending to be the victim.

Moments after he comforted her, Autumn felt less worried.

Even though she was still upset, she was not intimidated by the situation anymore.

"Mr. Seitan, you know that now I'm in my forties, and I have a happy family. My wife has also been exceptionally good to me, I won't do anything wrongful to betray her trust. To be honest, I am quite disappointed and appalled by what Miss Ye has done." Hoada Masahiro pretended to laugh bitterly as he continued to narrate his fabricated story, "Then I refused her offer and tried to return her room card back. However, Mr. Lu misunderstood my intention and hit me. That's the entire scene."

After Hoada Masahiro said that, he turned at Charles and added, "Mr. Lu, it is all actually a mistake. Please don't bear it in mind. While Miss Ye is indeed beautiful and many men might want to woo her, I am not one of them."

Charles still didn't say anything, which made Hoada Masahiro feel a pinch of guilt.

Autumn felt wronged. She immediately explained to Mr. Seitan. "This is not true! Please listen to the reality of what actually occurred!"

Do all the men act like this? Even though they have a gentle, loving and dedicated wife waiting at home for them, they still wish to seek pleasure outside of those sacred walls. And once their affairs come to light, they pretend to be the victim and conveniently shift the blame onto others.

That's why Dakki, the imperial concubine, was blamed for letting Shang Dynasty perished.

Autumn felt like a voiceless victim of the situation. She wanted to explain, but it seemed like Mr. Seitan had made up his mind to stand by Hoada Masahiro.

"Miss Ye." He gave her a cold glance. There was no appreciation in his eyes, but only indifference. "I used to appreciate you and your nature. But now, I only see woman motivated by money. Even though I have spent many years in business, I thought I had gained enough experience to tell right from wrong. However, I guess I have misjudged you. You are a greedy woman."

Seiten then whispered something to the assistant behind him, and then faintly said, "To tell the truth, I do really like your proposal. How about I buy it from you? But the following execution will have nothing to do with you, what do you think?"

Hoada Masahiro smiled as he stood beside him.
