Chapter 352

Bella’s POV:

At this moment, Connor walked in front of me “Miss Stepanek, shall I send you home?”

“No, I can go home by myself!”

With that, I carried my bag and strode forward.

When Connor saw this, he hurriedly followed. “Miss Stepanek, Mr. Wharton ordered me to send you back home safely...”

Hearing this, I couldn‘t help sneering. “Humph, his heart is full of Linda now. How can he have time to care about me?”

I walked out of the lobby of the hotel. When I went down the stairs, I tripped and immediately fell to one side.

Connor reacted and quickly came forward to support me. Feeling dizzy, I reached out to hold my head and closed my eyes. When Connor saw that I was truly drunk, he didn‘t say anything and helped me to the parking lot. Ten minutes later, I was already sitting in the passenger seat. The cool wind outside blew on my face, and I opened my eyes. It seemed that I was getting sober.

“Didn‘t I tell you that I can go home by myself?” I said. “I‘m just following orders. Miss Stepanek, don‘t make things difficult for me.” Connor laughed helplessly.

Hearing this, I turned my head away and looked at the bright lights outside the window, feeling a little headache.

“Miss Stepanek, Mr. Wharton cares a lot about you. He and Linda… had no choice.”

Hearing this, I found it funny and said, “Your words make me feel strange. Is someone forcing him to contact Linda with a gun? Forget it, it’s none of my business.”

“Miss Stepanek, you‘ve misunderstood Mr. Wharton.” Connor said.

“He and I are only ex-wife and ex-husband now. What’s there to misunderstand?” I asked with a sneer.

Connor glanced at me, then said, “I know that given my status, I don’t have the right to discuss the relationship between you and Mr. Wharton. After all, this is your private affair, but I am a bystander.

Seeing how hard-working and patient Mr. Wharton is with regards to your matters, I am truly moved.

Actually, he came in contact with Linda for your sake!”

Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but stare at Connor with questioning eyes. “What do you mean by that?”

Connor hesitated for a moment. Two minutes later, he said, “Originally, I wasn’t allowed to reveal this to you, but today, I really can‘t hold it back anymore. You know that if we want to investigate your case of being wrongly accused, we have to obtain Linda‘s support. As for Linda‘s feelings for Mr. Wharton, you should also know that if he doesn’t satisfy some of her needs, Linda will definitely not do her best to help him obtain the most crucial evidence against Selina and Jeremy.”

“What does Herbert want Linda to help him with?” I asked in confusion.

She knew that it was not easy for Herbert to clear her name, but she didn‘t expect that Linda was still an important part of it.

Following that, Connor replied, Selina and Jeremy are extremely crafty. They won‘t leave behind any Obvious évidence that will arouse people‘s suspicions. Through Linda, we found all of their surveillance footage in Stephen Firm. Of course, there was also a maintenance worker who repaired the surveillance footage of your computer, as well as all of the phone records on the office phone. We found extremely important clues from these.”

Hearing this, my brain went blank. It turned out that Herbert contacted Linda for my sake?

At this moment, Connor continued, Jeremy didn‘t have any acute appendicitis at all, but he still went to the hospital. He faked the medical record he gave to Linda. Also, the classmate you met in the cafe was actually one of Selina‘s accomplices Selina sold the information of the QT company to her. They colluded with each other to let you take all the responsibilities.”

At this moment, I could still remember the female classmate who used to have a g with me. She used to be so innocent and lovely. I didn‘t expect that she would try to kill me when I met her again after so many years Sure enough, some people could do anything for benefits “You should know that Linda had always been in love with Mr. Wharton. If he didn‘t cooperate with her, she wouldn‘t go against the rules and provide assistance. As for this matter, he had to proceed in private, because he‘s afraid that if this matter was leaked out, he would alert the enemy. At that time, all the evidence would be destroyed. Connor said.

“Mr. Wharton has never promised her anything. It‘s just that Linda had previously made a request to him, and only after he had agreed did she agree to help,” Connor explained.

“What request?” I asked with a frown.

“She wanted Mr. Wharton to accompany her on her vacation to Puji Island. In fact, it‘s a one–on–

one trip.” Connor replied, Hearing this, I frowned. Linda was a very proud person. I didn‘t expect her to make such a request.

No wonder she heard from outside the conference room that he would fall in love with her as long as he spent some time to understand her, It turned out that Linda hoped that they could create sparks of love in the process, but her hope was ruined. Maybe she was too confident?

For a man like Herbert, he had seen all kinds of beautiful women. Any encounter with a woman was easy to get. How could he fall in love with a beautiful woman like any ordinary man after spending a few days with her?

I was silent for a long time. Only then did Connor say, “Today, Mr. Wharton has taken good care of Linda. It‘s just because of the guilt in his heart. He doesn‘t want others to think that Linda has been dumped. It‘s out of courtesy. Thus, Miss Stepanek, I would like to ask you to be considerate of him. Don‘t be angry with him.” “How can I... be angry with him?” I held my head and felt a sharp pain. Maybe I drank too much today.

“Actually, in recent days, it hasn‘t been very good for Mr. Wharton either. Every day, he‘s engaged in social activities with Linda and the police. Recently, he‘s been drinking a bit too much wine, and his stomach problems have also recurred.” Connor said with a frown. Connor‘s words made me couldn‘t help but worry about Herbert.
