Drowning Him In Regret

Chapter 94 Don't Interfere With Me

Of course Aiden didn't understand design. And there was only one director in the design department, me. Plus, our entire team was united now, so there was no way he could wedge himself in. He had no choice but to slink away

I didn't know if he'd go complain to Ewan, but I wouldn't back down.

If I did, those two key departments would fall under Aiden's control, and Jude's position would be hanging by a thread.

Before I got off work, I received a call from Perla. She'd already arranged everything

She exclaimed, "Ada, your good luck has arrived!"

She was practically buzzing on the other end of the line for ten minutes before finally dropping the news. Her cousin was working on anti-cancer medication overseas. He had returned recently.

She said, "He got back yesterday, and I just found out today. I've already got him locked in. We're having dinner tonight!"noveldrama

Before I could even say yes, she sent me the address.

Thinking this might actually be a turning point, I agreed to meet them.

When I told Jude I was seeing Perla, he looked a little annoyed.

He asked, "Why are you still meeting her? I thought you two didn't get along?"

"Who told you that? We've been close since school." I spoke without a trace of guilt.

Jude just gave me a helpless look. In the end, I had to say Perla was a major client of the company and couldn't be neglected. Only then did he reluctantly

agree.

Now that we were putting on the act of a loving couple, going to and from work together every day, I was honestly suffocating.

Getting a bit of personal space had me feeling way better.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I immediately saw a man in a striped shirt and glasses sitting beside Perla.

No matter what she said, he kept the same deadpan face, which clearly left Perla feeling defeated.

Perla said, "Edmond, you're back in my territory now. Can you at least smile?"

"I sell knowledge, not entertainment." The moment I walked over, this poker-faced guy threw out that line. I nearly stumbled.

Perla cheerfully waved at me. "Ada, you should've waited till we were done eating before showing up! Do you even need to clock in at Carson Group? Who dares say anything if you slip out?"

I gave her a helpless look, then turned to the man beside her. "This is the doctor you mentioned?"

"Edmond, my cousin. He was doing cancer drug research in Kasenland. Behold, the man who holds your fate in his hands!" Perla beamed like sunshine, while I just smiled awkwardly.

Edmond didn't say anything. He simply started eating.

Perla said, "Hurry up and eat. My cousin's brain needs nutrients. Or it'll crash like a system error."

Strangely, he didn't get mad, just nodded in agreement. Their back-and-forth was kind of funny, and I felt more relaxed. But we were only halfway through the meal when Perla got a call, a friend of hers had run into trouble. She rushed off, leaving just me and Edmond.

He didn't show the slightest discomfort, which helped me relax too.

He asked about my illness, my family medical history, and the possibility of a second surgery.

The conversation was going well until a man suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Well, well, isn't this the bald beauty? The boss lady of Carson Group? I've seen your video before." He reeked of alcohol, clearly drunk.

His friend quickly pulled him back, apologizing profusely, but the man wouldn't give up. He kept tugging at me.

The drunk man said, "Come on, Baldie, why are you still wearing a wig? Let me see how you really look."

As he reached to yank off my wig, Edmond grabbed his wrist. Before the drunk could say a word, Edmond punched him right in the abdomen.

It didn't look like much of a punch, but the mar dropped like stone His

was soaked in sweat, unable to even

I stared blankly at Edmond. The drunk's friends looked equally stonbed Edmond calmly wiped his hands with a wet napkin. "His liver's not doing well. That area's highly sensitive to pain. Take him

to the hospital. Value your life. Don't go knocking on death's door, and don't harass women."

The group scurried away in a panic. Someone nearby even clapped.

Edmond looked at me as if nothing had happened. “So, your aunt's cancer was in which stage, again?"

I stared at his poker face in disbelief and continued answering.

Dinner felt like a thriller, but when he said he'd help me review my medical

records and come up with a treatment plan, I finally exhaled.

Still, that face of his looked like he might reject me at any second.

What I didn't expect was to get a call from Ewan before I even made it home. He

told me to come to the Carson residence immediately.

I didn't know what was going on until Perla messaged me.

It turned out that someone had filmed the whole scene of Edmond punching that guy, and the video had gone viral.

I knew I couldn't afford any more scandals right now, so I kept a low profile when I arrived at the old mansion.

When I arrived, I didn't expect to see Vivian sitting next to Ewan. The moment they saw me, they started their little duet of scolding.

"Ada, you represent the Carson family. You should know how to behave yourself."

"Ada, why are you going out with strange men again? Aren't you causing trouble for Jude?"

Watching them perform their little show, I suddenly lost all patience.

Ignoring Jude's eye signal to me, I directly retorted, "If you want me to keep playing the role of Mrs. Carson, then stay out of my personal life."
