Chapter 163 Mr. Walpole’s Wife

As he looked at the few people who had suddenly barged in from outside the lounge, Andrew’s facedarkened.

Elisa had originally been trapped in another room by Andrew. After Gustave found her, she explained thesituation and came over with Gustave.

Elisa was a photographer and a part–time reporter. She had the habit of carrying mini cameras with her.Now, the camera she had on her was just in time to be used.

The video she had shot was the scene of Andrew approaching Darlene who had fallen to the ground witha fierce expression. He then rudely reached out and pulled her up,

wanting to slap her.

Andrew’s words were also recorded together. “Whether you admit it or not, Darlene, Avery’s matter mustbe blamed on you. If something happens to my grandson, I will be the law. I can punish you however Iwant.”

Gustave quickly walked in and helped Darlene up. When he walked over, he pulled a pair of sunglasseson Darnell’s face and threw it at the knife in the bodyguard’s hand.

The knife that the bodyguard was holding was originally meant to threaten Nigel. The sunglasses flewover too quickly and he did not react in time. The knife in his hand was hit to the ground.

Darnell quickly went over and controlled the bodyguard. He laughed, “Didn’t Mr. Walpole say that mysunglasses are kind of pretentious? Isn’t that useful?”

Andrew looked at the stunned bodyguards and angrily said, “Stop them. What are you. all standing therefor?

My grandson has become like this. Today, Darlene can’t leave here. Mr. Walpole insists on meddling inother people’s business. Don’t blame my people for accidentally injuring you!”

Elisa shook the camera in her hand and laughed sarcastically, “Tsk, tsk. You are the law? Don’t eventhink about leaving this door? Those who don’t know what happened will think that you are filming somegangster movie.

“I think it’s better to keep your mouth shut. My camera is still recording.

Andrew was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He finally remembered that Elisa was still holding acamera in her hand. He immediately pointed at her and couldn’t speak clearly. “Hurry up and take hercamera away! Don’t let her continue to shoot

me!”

A bodyguard quickly walked over to Elisa. Elisa grabbed the camera tightly and dodged backward whileraising her voice.

“Everyone, look. They are feeling guilty and want to destroy my things. If not for the fact that my cameracan automatically preserve and upload videos and photos, no one would know what happened in thisroom today.”

The bodyguard approached with a furious face. Darnell grabbed his shoulder behind him. The otherbodyguards also came over and quickly started fighting.

Gustave helped Darlene out. He looked at Elisa and said in a low voice, “Upload the videos and thephotos on the Internet.”

Andrew was a little panicked and said harshly, “Gustave, how dare you!”

Gustave laughed, “Thank you for your grandson’s hard work. I am no longer the CEO of the WalpoleGroup. There is nothing to lose. Do I need to consider the consequences of doing something?”

Andrew was speechless for a moment. Gustave turned around and looked at him mockingly. “Oh, Ialmost forgot. I have a father, Mr. Cassius, and my mother, who is

mentally ill.

“The Gallard family always uses relatives to threaten others. If you are capable, you can

also try and threaten the Walpole family. See if you can hurt my parents.”

Andrew dared to bully Darlene without any evidence. It was only because Darlene had no power, andshe had been raised by the Gallard family for so many years.

But the Walpole family was not something he could ruin, not to mention Gustave’s

parents.

Andrew had no other choice but to watch Darlene being taken away, and then the videos. and photosthat Elisa had taken were uploaded online, which quickly caused a great uproar on the Internet.

In less than a few hours, the Gallard family began to be attacked by public opinions on

the Internet. The stock price plummeted, and the group had to launch a crisis PR to try to suppress thenews and public opinions on the Internet.

However, the result of this action was obviously minimal, and even because of the

deliberate suppression, he shot themselves in the foot.

After Gustave brought Darlene back to the ward, when Darlene’s condition had basically stabilized, theothers left the ward and stayed in the corridor.

Aleena, Darnell, and Elisa sat in the corridor of the hospital, looking through the comments on theInternet that were full of complaints about Andrew and the Gallard Group, and they were in high spirits.

Elisa had worked in a company below Gustave before. Aleena had recently been filming a TV dramaseries “Star and You” in Gustave’s Company, so she could be considered to have some interaction withElisa at work. They were kind of colleagues.

Elisa also scolded Andrew as a passerby. She spoke to Aleena.

“This damn old man actually dared to imprison my friend and me just now. My friend is still lying in thesick room in fear.

“When it spreads again, I will expose the fact that he forcibly took us away in the elevator. When he triesto whitewash, I will give him a fatal blow!”

Aleena nodded in agreement. “I support you. It is an honor for the media industry to have a reporter likeyou who sticks to justice and is not afraid of power. You are the role

model of the industry!”

Darnell nodded in agreement. “I respect you!”

Elisa suddenly panicked. “I am just an ordinary employee. I am also afraid of power.

“Isn’t Mr. Walpole inside? If any of you are familiar with him, let him help me. If

something really happens to me, you must ask for his help.”

Aleena and Darnell looked at the ceiling together and said in unison, “Not familiar.”

Elisa was so angry that she took out her phone and was about to contact the reporters to delete thenews. “It turns out that you guys are just watching the show. Don’t you think it’s dangerous for me? Thephotos are no longer posted and I will stop writing the news. My life is more important. I will withdrawthem now!”

Darnell saw that she was really going to withdraw and immediately stopped her.“I was just joking withyou. Don’t worry. Since Mr. Walpole asked you to send it, if anything happens, he will be the one to bearthe consequences. If you are implicated, he will definitely help you solve it.

“Even if he doesn’t protect you, you can ask Darlene.” He pointed at the ward.

“I heard from Ms. Spence that Darlene and you were high school classmates. In the future, she might beyour boss‘ wife. Ms. Emmy, if you have the chance, why don’t you use your identity as her classmate toget along with her? By then, you don’t need to worry about yourself!”

“Mr. Walpole’s wife?” Elisa’s eyes immediately lit up. “What breaking news! Darlene and I haven’tcontacted each other for several years. She is actually in a relationship

with Mr. Walpole?

“Big news! Hurry up and tell me. I’m going to get the headlines and achieve fame!

As she spoke, she took out the recording pen and notebook that she had brought along with her,excitedly wanting to write an article.

Aleena also came closer. “Why didn’t I know? They have already become a couple? Darnell, don’t youlive at Mr. Walpole’s place every day? Quick, tell me. How is it going on? Did they kiss or live together?

“It’s fine that she can’t divorce Avery as she can just move abroad. When Darlene is cured, she canchange her name and live a loving life abroad. Avery, that scum, is going

to be so angry.”

As she spoke, she saw Dakota, who was standing in front of the nurse station not far

away.

Dakota was negotiating, “Two months is a bit short. If you really don’t let me donate

blood, can you help me and Ms. Garcia do a blood test?

“If she needs a blood transfusion in the future, I can donate blood to her directly.”

The nurse looked troubled. “Mrs. Swale, this is really against the rules.”

Dakota quietly stuffed cash over. It was already nighttime, and there was only a middle–aged nurse onduty at the nurse station.

“I’ll have to trouble you with this. It’s just a test. This can be considered as my test fee.”

As she spoke, she lowered her voice. “Don’t worry. My husband has this hospital’s shares. I’m familiarwith it. The surveillance camera can’t shoot us from here.”

The nurse pursed her lips. “Alright, it’s a routine test before the blood test. We can’t do anything else.You can just take a look at the result.”
