The Luxury of Discount King novel Chapter 43

The two continued to eat then. But Conrad noticed that Ashley kept staring at him with a smile on her face.

Conrad knocked on the table with his fingers, "Hey, why are you always staring at me? I am not the food."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She suddenly asked.

"No. What's the matter?"

"Then why don't you be my boyfriend?" Ashley suddenly made a surprising statement.

Conrad was drinking his soup and almost spit it out when he heard that. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said helplessly, "Hey, we've only known each other for a few hours, right? How can we be lovers so quickly?"

"It doesn't matter. For example, the hero and heroine of the movie Titanic fell in love at first sight and had sex within two hours in the movie." Ashley indulged in sophistry.

"Sorry, I don't think so. Feelings need to be cultivated over time."

Conrad refused Ashley's proposal. Although Ashley was beautiful and had a good figure, Conrad just appreciated her. He was not someone who would make a move on a girl, even though the girl was beautiful.

"You don't even take advantage of the opportunity you're given. What a stubborn man."

Ashley lost her interest and finally started to eat.

After the meal, Ashley paid the bill and they left the restaurant.

Just as they walked out of the restaurant, a police car stopped on the side of the road. Four police officers got off the car and came straight to him when they saw Conrad and showed their IDs.

"Are you Conrad?" a policeman asked.

"Yes. What is wrong?"

The policeman said, "You are suspected of hurting others. Please come with us to the police station."

Conrad understood at once. It must have something to do with beating Maddox. These rogues actually took the initiative to call the police.

The rogues who were well-educated were hard to deal with. When they met someone who was honest, they bullied him. When they met someone they could not beat, they just called the police. They were really shameless.

Conrad could easily break away from the police. But they were public servants after all. He also needed to make this matter clear. So, he followed the police into the police car. Ashley was also involved in the case. So, she also went to the police station together.

In the police car, Ashley whispered to Conrad, "You just put the blame on me. They will not do anything to me. It was the leader of the rogues who tried to cop a feel first."

"It's okay. I can handle it." Conrad said indifferently.

When they arrived at the police station, a police officer came to question Conrad and Ashley, saying that fourteen people, including Maddox, were injured to varying degrees. So, Conrad was involved in the crime of intentional injury and they would place him in administrative detention.

Conrad argued, "Sir, you are mistaken. They attacked me with weapons first. I just defended myself. According to what they said, I hurt fourteen of them by myself?"

The policeman was also speechless and said after pausing for a while, "According to Maddox Graham’s words, you intimidated and beat them with wooden sticks. They chose to swallow insult and humiliation silently and not to fight back. However, you went even further and injured them."

Words failed Conrad. He did not expect that there were such shameless people in the world. They confounded black and white. Maddox, the perpetrator, became the victim instead.

"Sir, they are the perpetrators. The leader wanted to molest me and said that he would rape me. To protect me, Conrad fought back. If you do not believe it, you can watch the video."

Ashley took out her phone and started to play the video she shot. The police could see that Maddox and his men held sticks and surrounded Conrad. However, they were beaten by Conrad one by one, which was completely inconsistent with Maddox's words.

In fact, the police all knew it well. Maddox had many criminal records and most of the police knew him. Since Ashley had a video, it was easy to handle. The police next went to question Maddox and other people. It turned out that Maddox had indeed said that he would rape Ashley.

Then the nature of the case changed. Maddox and his men wanted to commit a crime against Ashley in broad daylight. Then, Conrad fought back. The situation immediately reversed.

Conrad was still waiting for the results at the police station when Jennifer suddenly called him.

"I heard you beat up Maddox?" Jennifer asked.

"Yes, and then he sued me." Conrad said.

"I know. You'll be fine soon. Maddox is over this time." Jennifer hung up the phone.

Conrad got the important information through this brief call. Jennifer must take action. Perhaps she was annoyed with Maddox who always harassed her. But it was not convenient for her to teach him a lesson directly. Conrad created an opportunity now. Then, Jennifer would make use of an opportunity to punish Maddox.

Conrad was no longer worried. Instead, he began to comfort Ashley and told her to relax.

Sure enough, after ten minutes, the police informed Conrad that he could leave. His act was defined as a brave act. Not only was he OK, he would also get a bonus and a certificate later. On the contrary, Maddox had been taken into custody. He and his men were identified as underworld. They might spend a few years in jail.

"Great!" Ashley praised the police for what they did. But Conrad knew well that this was the result of Jennifer's efforts behind the scenes. Otherwise, the case would not be qualified so quickly.

It seemed that Jennifer had a great background. After all, she was the heiress of a well-known top 500 enterprises.

After walking out from the police station, Ashley lost her interest in going shopping. So, Conrad took her home.

Unexpectedly, Ashley was actually living in a hotel and had been there for more than a month. She really took the hotel as home.
