Chapter 160
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 160<\/p>\n
Audrey smiled and watched Alex leave.<\/p>\n
When he walked out the door, Alex looked back and noticed Audrey’s smile. He felt his heart beat faster.<\/p>\n
He wondered, “How naive! She falls for me so soon. When I find her keys, she will like me more.”<\/p>\n
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and began to look for the keys on the ground.<\/p>\n
Keys were generally not small. It should not be too hard to find.<\/p>\n
He didn’t find it in the corridor, so he walked towards the stairs.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.<\/p>\n
This was the third floor. Why did Audrey take the stairs rather than the elevator? That was weird.<\/p>\n
However, for rich people like Audrey, it was normal to have some quirks. He thought he shouldn’t think too much. His priority was to find Audrey’s keys.<\/p>\n
Thinking of this, he went down the stairs and searched it.<\/p>\n
Alex didn’t find it on the stairs leading to the second floor, so he went down the next staircase.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a man with black shoes appeared in his way.<\/p>\n
As he was crouching down, he did not see who it was. He was about to look up when a black bag enveloped his head. Then he was hit hard in the head and his vision blurred.<\/p>\n
He wanted to resist, but that man held his hands and legs. He wanted to shout for help but found he couldn’t make a sound.<\/p>\n
He lay on the ground and got beaten up.<\/p>\n
It lasted for five minutes.<\/p>\n
After that man left, Alex took off the black bag on his head.<\/p>\n
Alex moved a little but ached all over.<\/p>\n
This was the first time he had been humiliated like this.<\/p>\n
He immediately went to the lobby and asked the waiter to get the surveillance footage on the stairs.<\/p>\n
However, the surveillance cameras didn’t record what happened within ten minutes. So, he wouldn’t know who assaulted him.<\/p>\n
Alex was so angry that he wanted to sue the cafe. However, they drove him out for disruption and slander.<\/p>\n
Only when Alex gave up did they allow him to stay.<\/p>\n
He looked a real mess, his face all beaten and black. So, he tidied up a little before returning to the private room that Audrey was in.<\/p>\n
Audrey was savoring tea. Noticing the door open, she looked over and saw Alex was covered in bruises.<\/p>\n
She asked in surprise, “Mr. Huntley, what’s wrong with you?”<\/p>\n
“I accidentally fell,” Alex explained awkwardly.<\/p>\n
Of course, he couldn’t tell Audrey that he had been beaten up for no reason. That was so lame.<\/p>\n
Audrey looked at him worriedly.<\/p>\n
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”<\/p>\n
“No, no. Ms. Elliana, don’t worry, I’m fine.”<\/p>\n
“That’s good.” Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Alex said guiltily, “I’m sorry. I didn’t find your keys.”<\/p>\n
Audrey pretended to panic and walked to the staircase. She deliberately pressed his broken knee and said, “Mr. Huntley, how are you?”<\/p>\n
“Oh, it hurts!” Alex twitched in pain.<\/p>\n
Audrey hurriedly called the waiter over, and the waiter helped Alex up and took him to a taxi.<\/p>\n
Audrey stood outside the taxi and looked at Alex apologetically. “Mr. Huntley, I’m sorry. I still have something to do, so I can’t go to the hospital with you.”<\/p>\n
Alex covered the wound on his forehead with gauze and waved his hand.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter. Ms. Elliana, do what you need to do.”<\/p>\n
What the hell was going on? How unlucky he was today!<\/p>\n
Audrey watched Alex’s taxi leave.<\/p>\n
Alex would never have thought that Audrey was behind everything that happened to him.<\/p>\n
The clothes and shoes that she had worn when she beat Alex were just in the bag.<\/p>\n
When the taxi disappeared from view, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Behind Audrey, a figure suddenly approached.<\/p>\n
Audrey turned around and saw Bryson.<\/p>\n
“You were in the box next door, weren’t you?”<\/p>\n
Kolby drove over and stopped in front of them.<\/p>\n
Bryson looked calm, but there was a sense that this was the calm before the storm. He said lightly, “Get in. I’ll take you home.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3491","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
