You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 799 Smash Her Car
Confusion clouded Victor's face. He asked, "What business card, Mr. Shen?"
"I don't know," Tim said coldly, casting the other man a silencing glance. Victor shut up immediately.
As soon as they arrived at the parking lot downstairs, they soon realized that their car was really gone. The whole place was empty. There were only the two flying dead leaves blown over by the winter wind. Victor was left speechless by the turn of events.
He put his hands on his hips as he looked around, exasperated. There really was no trace of a car. "Damn it! Our car has been dragged away.
Look, Mr. Shen. The car is really gone!" He angrily pointed at the open space before them.
"I'm not fucking blind, okay?" Tim shouted. His chest heaving in fury.
The sudden outburst of anger was enough to silence Victor once more. He was stunned.
He couldn't help but think, 'Mr. Shen hasn't been wearing and shouting ever since he decided to pursue Michelle.
But why is he being so rude again?'
Victor didn't know that Tim had been holding on to this rage ever since they were still up in the ward. The disappearance of their car was simply the last straw.
All he knew was that the Tim he knew was back.
Unbidden, he laughed and slapped himself on the face. "My fault, Mr. Shen.
But what should we do now? Mr. Shen, this woman was so bold that she had our car dragged away. We need to teach her a lesson. Just say the word, and I'll have our people smash her car while she is inside it."
Tim had treated Caroline politely because he had been afraid she might say bad things about him in front of Michelle.
But now that Michelle and Leon professed their love for each other in front of him, he could only feel anger boiling inside him. It threatened to spill over.
His one true love had been taken away from him. So now, he was no longer afraid of Caroline.
"Go ahead and smash her car," Tim hissed through gritted teeth.
"Very well then. I'll do it right away, Mr. Shen. She'll never replace out who is the one behind this." Victor started rubbing his hands together as a plan steadily took shape inside his head. Tim narrowed his eyes at him.
It was a silent command that Victor should go do it now.
Victor turned around and was about to walk away when Tim stopped him. "Hold on. Make sure you don't hurt her."
"Mr. Shen? Does this mean you care about her? If you like, I can get her into your bed instead." Victor grinned. An obscenely sly look glinted in his eyes.
"Fuck off! I just want you to be careful. She isn't someone we can mess around with. We might get into trouble, understand?" Tim said seriously.
This seemed to sober Victor up. "I see. Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I got this."
On the way home that night, Caroline was driving by herself. There weren't many cars on the road, and she noticed some suspicious ones tailing her. Soon, these cars were running alongside her, forcing her to park at a blind spot.
She already knew that something bad was going to happen. She started closing her windows and locking her doors.
Once done, she took out her smartphone and clicked on the camera app to start recording a video. She also dialed the police's number on her other phone.
When the police arrived, Caroline's car was smashed beyond recognition. Fortunately, she was safe and unhurt inside it.
The police looked over her destroyed car, taking note of the flat tires that were punched by steel nails. They also discovered a black plastic bag that contained thick wads of cash.
The money was probably a compensation for the damages.
Caroline found herself speechless.
The policemen were also quite stunned.
She took in the damage her car had sustained after the frightening encounter. The front was completely sunk in. Her headlights and tail lights were smashed to pieces, and the rearview mirrors were completely ripped off.
And there was also a bag of cash.
Placing her hand on her forehead, she thought, 'What is the meaning of this?'
It was as if this was simply a child's revenge. But a child wouldn't offer a huge sum of money as compensation.
Funny enough, she could only think of one person whom she had offended today.
Tim!
As soon as she left the hospital, she made sure to check on Tim. It turned out that he was the big shot who monopolized the entire entertainment business in Lexingport City and its surrounding areas. He was the owner of Silverhall Nightclub, which had chain stores across the country.
It was also rumored that he was a powerful and influential presence in the government and the underworld. No wonder he was so arrogant. He never mingled with the upper class nor did he show up in public events. He was also very moody.
More than ten million subordinates worked for him. Most of them were well-known fighters. His kill count was also high. Moreover, all his entertainment establishments were only fronts for his illegal business. It was also rumored that he had an affair with Vivian. But he eventually lost interest in her and even sent her to prison.
He was heartless.
There were more rumors about him, but Caroline just laughed it off. After all, she had been in the fashion circle for a long time. She knew better than to believe everything that the Internet said. In the end though, she didn't believe it.
At least, Caroline didn't believe Tim sent Vivian to prison. She knew more or less the truth. It was John who had Vivian imprisoned.
With Tim's men smashing up her car but leaving her entirely unscathed and a large sum of money, Caroline doubted the rumors more.
Tim wasn't heartless. He was just childish.
'Why would he send people to smash up my car only to leave me with a lot of money afterwards?'
Holding the bag of money in her hands, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Knowing who owned the Silverhall Nightclub, she decided to go there and have a good chat with Tim.
Michelle was sitting in her bed, playing on her phone. When she saw Caroline's post in Moments, she was shocked. "Oh my God, Leon! Cara was attacked by some terrorist! Her car was smashed into pieces." "Terrorist?" Leon was working on his computer, dealing with some C Island business. The time difference between C Island and Lexingport City always forced him to work late into the night.
However, he immediately stopped what he was doing to listen to what Michelle was saying. He tore his eyes away from computer screen and looked at her.
"Yeah. Look!" Michelle turned her phone so that the screen would face Leon. But they were too far away from one another. He probably couldn't see her phone screen clearly.
She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, saying, "That's strange. Why would her attacker leave money afterwards?"
"Don't move. I'll go there instead." Leon stopped her before she could move. He stood up and walked over to the bed. The mattress dipped down under his weight as he sat down beside her. He looked at Caroline's post and smiled. "She's right. He is a man with moral integrity."
Michelle tilted her head to one side. Confused, she asked, "Cara said she is going to meet him. Do you think she knows who her attacker is?"
"Maybe." Leon was never interested in other people's business. Out of habit, he raised his hand to touch her head, but the hat was in the way.
He withdrew his hand and asked, "Why do you wear that hat?"
As soon as he mentioned the hat, Michelle put down her phone and grabbed both sides of the hat with her hands. It was as if she was afraid Leon would take it off her. "Doesn't it look good on me?"
"You look good in it. Just wear it. So put your hands away. I won't tell you to take it off." Leon caught her wrist as he spoke.
Her eyes then strayed towards the laptop on the table. She said apologetically, "Did I interrupt your work, Leon?"
He followed her gaze before turning back to look at her red face. He said softly, "Not really. It's still too early anyway. I'll deal with it later."
Her eyes suddenly lit up. "You can sit beside me while working. I promise I won't disturb you or read any confidential information. I'll mind my own business the whole time."
"No. You'll definitely distract me." As much as he wanted to sit next to her, he knew that wouldn't be able to help himself.
Hence, he gently refused her request.
"Okay." She looked thoughtful for a while. Indeed, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from talking to him if he sat beside her. Take this scenario for example. She disrupted his work to show Caroline's post. "Okay. You should probably get back to work if you want to finish it soon." She was a little hesitant to let him leave, but she had to.
Nonetheless, she still felt like they hadn't spent much time together today.
If it was possible, she would have stayed with him forever. For now, she just wanted to sit next to him for a while more.
Leon smirked. "Are you saying you want me to stay the night?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
