Oscar was totally stunned, unable to utter a single word.
âThis company, under your leadership, hasnât made any progress. I was originally planning to shut it down. But since my daughter is on holiday with nothing to do, I thought Iâd let her run it.â
So casually handing over such a big company to his daughter.
Hearing Kenneth Collinsâ words, Oscarâs mouth hung open wide enough to fit two eggs.
âI never expected her to be so responsible, finding all these problems within the company! Iâve seen the evidence of your betrayal myself! Arabella Bennett didnât falsely accuse you! Youâre here ranting and raving, slandering her, and wanting to put her behind bars. Do you really think the Collins family wouldnât protect her?â
âNo, no, Mr. Collins, youâre mistaken.â Oscar was instantly scared out of his wits. âI, I didnât know that girl; no, I didnât know Ms. Bella is your daughter.â If he had known, he would never have dared to act rashly!
At that moment, he looked at Louisaâs icy face and suddenly realized that she and Arabella did bear some resemblance!
Only that, Arabella exuded a stronger aura and was even more charming.
âMr. Collins, I was confused for a moment and did something to let down the company, to let you down.â Oscar simply admitted his guilt, hoping for a more lenient punishment.
But before he could finish, Kenneth kicked him away, saying, âYouâre a repeat offender; since the company opened, youâve been messing up for a year!â âMr. Collins, I was wrong! I was so stupid; you can hit me and scold me, but please donât let me go to jail.â Oscar crawled over again, desperately begging at Kennethâs trousers, âI have elderly parents, young children.â
âLet go!â Kenneth kicked him away again, impatiently saying, âWhen you did those things, didnât you think about your family?â
Regretting now? Too late!!
âI heard he often bullied Arabella in the company.â Louisa glanced at the man on the ground, then turned to the police officer beside her and said, âPlease handle it properly; heâs been with our company for a while.â
âYes!â The officer nodded, his gaze on Oscar turning frosty.
âNo, maâam, please take back your words; I know I was wrong.â Oscar tried to grab Louisaâs skirt.
Fortunately, Kenneth pulled Louisa behind him just in time: âYou dare touch my wifeâs dress?â
âNo, no, I didnât.â
âIf I donât teach you a lesson, you wonât realize your mistakes!â Kenneth rolled up his sleeves and gave him a good beating.
âMr. Collins, please stop, stop.â Oscar covered his face with his hands and said, âYouâre getting old; if you get hurt, I wonât be able to explain. If your sons come to settle accounts with me, I canât bear it! Let someone else handle me. You calm down, calm down.â
âWho were you just cursing?â Kenneth was panting, but he had no intention of letting him go. âSay it, who were you cursing?â
âI, I, I was cursing myself.â
âIf you want to protect your family, admit to what youâve done!â
âYes, Mr. Collins, whatever you say.â Oscar had no intention of resisting.
Kenneth kicked him again, sending him into a corner.
Getting old indeed, feeling tired just from a bit of action.
âAlright, youâre getting on in years; stop exerting yourself.â Louisa stepped forward, wiping the sweat off of her husbandâs face, then gave Oscar a disgusted look.
âIf he really touched your dress just now, I would have cut off his hand! This shameless man is doing all kinds of evil deeds! And still trying to escape punishment?â
Heâs a beast!
Kenneth turned back around, glaring angrily at Oscar, saying, âStay here and reflect on your actions!â
