Fall For “My Husband’s Uncle” By Janet Macadam
Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Blushed by the compliment, Edith scratched her head awkwardly and said guiltily, “I’m sorry”

“No, you’re quite awesome to stand up for me! I thought you would only be bullied.”

Those words stunned Edith whose body stiffened.

Edith thought, “In fact, I refuse to be bullied. When I got to know Vanessa and Johann were together before, I was bursting with anger and directly made trouble for them.

“I could be mean to Vanessa and treat Johann ruthlessly. Why am I cowering now?

“Perhaps those sufferings make me scared from the bottom of my heart.

“I have been betrayed by my fiance.

“Even my cousin hates me and has hostility toward me.

“My uncle is cold and ruthless to me.

“Also, my new workplace and sudden marriage. It has been unfortunate for me since I returned to the country. I have no idea what Carlos will bring to me, luck or misfortune.

“All of them have overwhelmed me. For a moment, I replace it too hard to deal with.

“Therefore, I turn reserved, more precisely, cowardly.

“In fact, Carlos is right. Save my mercy when others show no mercy to me.

“I will sincerely repay people’s kindness.

“But I will definitely revenge myself on others for their hatred and malice.

“All lay load on the willing horse.

“Just like just now, if I didn’t behave aggressively, my colleagues would regard me as a pushover. Even worse, anyone could bully me in the future.

“Despite my willingness to get along with them, I refuse to subordinate my wishes to theirs and even be bullied.”

Edith took a deep breath and cleared her thoughts.

She hugged Summer seriously, which startled the latter.

“What’s wrong?”

“It turns out that what my teacher taught me doesn’t work. I have to practice it myself. Thank you for standing up for me. Thanks.”

“Why are you thanking me? No one can stand to be bullied! Without any evidence, others accuse you. Besides, you are qualified to work here. Emma is thirsty for talent and doesn’t care about these matters.”

Edith was deeply moved.

Edith thought, “Unexpectedly, apart from Sarah, I could also replace a good friend like Summer.

“I am already very satisfied.”

Edith didn’t go to work in the afternoon but asked for leave to calm down.

For the whole afternoon, she slept on the bed, as if she would not have those troubles if she fell asleep.

In fact, Carlos knew everything about her.

Robert sent the latest information over and called Carlos.

As soon as the phone was connected, Carlos‘ tired voice came.

“How is it?”

“Of course, it’s done. I investigated their financial reports in previous years. There will definitely be no problem with this acquisition.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

Carlos massaged his temple to ease his fatigue.

Robert pretended to be confused and deliberately asked, “Not about work? What else could it be?”

Carlos was silent for a moment and said, “How about we go boxing? I haven’t been boxing lately!”

The words made Robert pale. He quickly said, “The rumors in the company are getting more and more outrageous. I can’t replace any surveillance footage. So I check the street surveillance camera and replace a suspicious person. It’s a colleague of the company. Out of jealousy, the one made trouble.” Although I have found the evidence, I haven’t had time to make it public yet. I have handed it over to my sister and she will help Edith.

“But your wife is quite tough. Today, she directly told them that a big shot supported her and she threatened them. In other words, if they dare to bully her, she will definitely retaliate against them. It is interesting.”

Carlos could even imagine her clenching her fists and straightening her back.

He thought, “She must be very scared and hopes to be protected.

“But I am abroad now and cannot rush back to her.

“Originally, I’ve already put someone else in charge of the acquisition, and it’s not a rush. However, because of a mistake in the bidding. I have to rush. over. After all, it is worth tens of billions of dollars and important for Lawstom’s future development. I have to meticulously deal with this matter”

As soon as Carlos arrived, he threw himself to work and was exhausted.

Although he missed Edith very much, he couldn’t get in touch with her.

He was afraid that he would miss her so much that he could not concentrate on work.

Carlos thought, “I can endure all hardship but now, I hope to unbosom myself to her.

“How could I be like this because of a woman?”

That was also the reason why Carlos had been avoiding her for so long. He had asked Robert to look after her and got all information about her from Robert.

Fortunately, Carlos was about to go back.

“Then what is she doing now?”

“She asked for leave in the afternoon. I called and knew that she was in her room and hasn’t come out yet. It seems that this matter and your sudden disappearance are a big blow to her. She is so pitiful. Carlos, do you have to be so serious? You really made up your mind not to contact her?”

“No, I’m going back tomorrow. I’ll solve her problems myself.”

“You’re truly heartless. Why?”

“Do you know how to be jealous?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I will easily be jealous and soft–hearted because of Edith. I’m a man and destined to protect her. Others can be soft–hearted, but I can’t and have to be tough. It’s just a moment of absence. Although I miss her, it’s not enough to make me panic.”

Robert was startled, thinking, “Is this girl so charming? She’s even more charming than Natalie from before…”

“I’ve never compared her to Natalie, just like the one in your heart. No one can replace her.”

Carlos‘ deep voice slowly came, making Robert fall into silence.

Robert thought, “Well,

“How could Carlos be so smart?

“This secret has been hidden in the bottom of my heart for so many years. No one, including her, knows anything about this secret. However, Carlos easily sees through it.

“Alas, he is foxy”

“Carlos, it’s not a good habit to expose other people’s secrets.”

“I didn’t say anything. Well, I have an emergency meeting here. I’ll hang up first,”

“Well, then I won’t interfere in her affairs. I’ll wait for you to come back and solve it.”

As Robert hung up the phone, a face appeared and lingered in his mind no matter how hard he tried to get rid of it.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head gently, and cleared his thoughts.

He thought, “I can pretend not to fall in love with her, or fantasize about her love.

“In this way, I will never be heartbroken.”
