Seeing Gideon, Debra, who was emotional, froze.
âMr. McKinney?â
Debra shrank back and turned to escape.
However, the security guards quickly caught her. The head of security looked at Lena, and Gideon spoke first. âThis woman deliberately collided with my fiancée, knowing she is pregnant. Itâs a suspicion of intentional harm. Please take her to the security office. Iâll contact lawyers and the police to handle this.â
The head of security glanced disdainfully at Debra. She was proud of herself for being Lenaâs assistant and disrespected the security personnel, while Lena was always more amiable.
Now, having made a mistake, she was trying to frame Lena?
Not only the others but even the head of security looked down on her.
Debra then became sober. She was so angry that she blamed Lena for the consequences.
Debra realized she shouldnât have done this, at least not so blatantly.
She immediately put on a pitiful expression and, with a thud, knelt in Lenaâs direction. âMs. Jenkins, I was just momentarily blinded by anger. Please, spare me! Donât send me to the police station!â
Those who were angry just a moment ago were now influenced by Debraâs miserable cries, feeling that they could not bear for her to be so pitiful.
Lena furrowed her brows, preparing to retort, but Gideon held her back.
âAre you willing to gamble with my childâs life just because you were momentarily blinded by anger? If Lena hadnât dodged, you would have killed an innocent child. Do you think Iâd spare the one who nearly killed my child just because of a few tears?â Gideon said resolutely, staring at Debra in disgust.
Debra was stunned, looking at Lena pleadingly, but Gideon blocked Lena solidly.
âNo matter what Lena says, I wonât agree,â Gideon spoke firmly.
The head of security didnât give Debra another chance to speak and escorted her away.
Gideon took Lena away amidst varied gazes. It wasnât until they were in the car that Lena looked at Gideon with a complex expression. âWhy did you say that just now?â
He clearly saw her intention to speak, yet he preemptively said everything unpleasant, making Debra perhaps hate him the most now.
Gideon gently helped Lena fasten her seatbelt and then smiled, âAlthough we can confront them directly, considering your personality, you probably wouldnât want to take a leave until delivery. In that case, itâs better to let them have a good impression of you. In case you need help, theyâll be more willing to lend a hand.â
Lena looked at Gideon in shock. She hadnât expected that Gideon would say those words for this reason.
Given his original character, he could have kept silent about these matters.
Lowering her eyes, Lena realized that, although it was a small matter, Gideon could think about even these details.
Perhaps she could try to trust him more.
The incident with Debra stirred up discussion in the company but quickly subsided.
