Love’s Unexpected Arrival The Bride Who Came Knocking Chapter 10



Chapter 10 Scheme

Chris cleared his throat, gritted his teeth, and glared at Hawk. How could he kiss Maria so intimately? But when Chris met Hawk’s eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Hawk’s eyes are so cold. “Well, you almost hurt my wife. Don’t you owe me an explanation?” Hawk sounded more and more impatient. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know she was married,” Chris explained. “You mean you can humiliate and throw out an unmarried woman at will?” Hawk asked aggressively. Chris frowned and clenched his fists until his joints turned pale. He suppressed his anger and said to Maria, “I’m sorry. I think I mistook this lady for someone else. I’m so sorry,” Chris apologized and strode out of the private room without looking back. Chris never thought that he would be humiliated and questioned like this. Maria didn’t expect that Hawk would step out to save her. It had nothing to do with him. “Thank you,” She thanked Hawk sincerely. “You are welcome. We agreed to respect and help each other! “Hawk slightly raised his lips. When Ruby chased Chris out on her ten-centimeter high heels, she happened to hear Hawk’s words. She was even more jealous of Maria. Why was Maria so lucky? Three years ago, Ruby forced her to leave Chris. Unexpectedly, Maria got married to a man even more handsome than Chris. Judging from his nobility, she guessed Hawk was higher in status than Chris. Mutual respect in marriage was such a luxury for women, especially for women who were from humble families. Wasn’t that the case between her and Chris? Despite the engagement, she knew how hard she had lived in the past three years. She had been working hard to soften Chris and his mother up to get engaged to Chris. She didn’t dare to think about what the future would be like. She simply did not dare to think about it. Hawk got delayed because of Maria. He said goodbye to Maria and stepped into the private room where Keith was. Keith had an evil smile on his face. “Well, this is the second time this week that you have been unpunctual. Well, you simply canceled the appointment last time. I’ve told you that in this world, someone will make you lose your sanity. Do you believe me now?” He was interrupted by Hawk. “No one will. I just met an acquaintance and talked to her for several minutes.” Keith curled his lips and snorted. Hawk sat down. His face suddenly turned cold. “Who is it?” “Read it for yourself!” Keith smiled and pushed a file bag to Hawk. Hawk had asked Keith several times on the phone, but Keith just kept it secret and insisted that Hawk read it for himself. Hawk opened the file bag and took out a stack of materials. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Keith. “Nell isn’t a part of it?” “You question my investigation results? Hawk, who am I? I’ve watched many detective fictions. In the ten years since the detective agency was founded, I had no mistakes in any case. That day, Nell was abroad. Do you think she could fly back and forth? Carl drugged you that day and arranged for a woman to stay at River Hotel. He intended to take some pictures of you sleeping with that woman. That miniature camera was in the file bag. See it for yourself. Carl wanted to use those photos to threaten you of helping him win the exclusive right to supply the White Group’s building materials.” “How did he dare to do this?” Hawk’s eyes were dark. He sneered, put the documents back into the bag, and stood up. “I’ll take the materials with me. I will handle it myself!” “Oh, I won’t help you handle it, unless you ask me personally.” Keith still wore a sneer on his face. “Such a pity that Carl didn’t succeed. I can’t wait to see your performance in bed, Mr. Cullen…” Hawk sharply glared at Keith. Keith quickly shut up, but the smile on his face grew stronger.
