The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Chapter 388 Hunters and the Yellow Bird

“Mrs. Hoyle’s concussion is moderate. You may have headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision, but it’s not serious. With medication and examination, it will generally disappear in three days. Don’t worry.”

Fortunately, it was not serious. Everything was under control.

Fortunately, she had always been driving carefully, never sped up.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and decided to drive the car where there were less people and car.

It would be dangerous if she had driven back to the city on the street where the traffic was cramped, only to find that the brakes failed. He dared not think of what might happen.

He took his phone and called Kent Bai, “Where are you?”

“Where else could I be? Unlike you, I don’t have a woman and children here. People like me, although I have many houses but none of them feel like home. Although I have many women but none of them is to marry. As for children, they are still somewhere faraway in the future. So, I decide to stay in the hotel.”

“Wait for me.”

“I will, but you’d better bring me breakfast on your way here. The breakfast in this hotel is extremely poor. I’d rather eat your woman’s cooking.”

“I can ask her to give you 20% discount.”

“Mr. Hoyle, you’re too stingy. I run errands for you and you don’t even give me a comfortable place to live. You even let your wife to take my money. Ah, married men are different.”

Alan Hoyle smiled and hung up the phone.

In the hotel suite, Kent Bai walked out of the bathroom. His waist was wrapped in white towel, water dropped off his wet hair, and he stepped out barefoot.

Seeing the breakfast in Alan Hoyle’s hand, he grabbed it immediately, sat down, and devoured it.

Alan Hoyle frowned, “You look like you just bailed out of prison and didn’t eat for a few days.”

“I shouldn’t talk when I eat or sleep. If you have something to say, you can wait for me until I finish eating.” Kent Bai snorted. This man hailed from the street. Although he lived a glamorous life now, but he was still a big fans of commoners’ food.

Alan Hoyle waited patiently.

“The noodle’s good, so is the beef. Where did you buy it?” Kent Bai hadn’t eaten authentic rice noodle soup for a long time. Now that he did, he swept the bowl clean.

“I bought it in Bainian Restaurant. My wife loves it. I think it’s not bad either. I know you love this kind of food, so I buy it for you.”

“I didn’t expect that your wife’s liking is so similar to mine. How is she by the way?” Kent Bai asked.

“Nothing serious. She’s clever. She managed to save herself.” Alan Hoyle smiled.

“I can see you’re quite proud to say this.” Kent Bai teased him.

“Well, she always has something that makes me proud of her.”

“Are you trying to make me jealous?” Kent Bai covered his mouth and threw the disposable tableware into the trash can. The cheap scent from the food floated in the gorgeous suite. It was rather a misfit.

“Why don’t you bring home a woman? What happen with you and your little lover?”

Kent Bai’s face changed when he heard the question, “Let’s not talk about this. I’ve never seen a woman so stubborn that she doesn’t yield to persuasion or coercion. Let’s talk about you. When things are over, what are you going to do with Ophelia? To say the least, she’s also your childhood friend.”

“Childhood friend?” Alan Hoyle sneered, “She doesn’t deserve that nickname.”

“Watch her for me. Don’t let her play her tricks or else, I will let her spend the rest of her life in prison.” Alan Hoyle said coldly.

“You’re so heartless.” Kent Bai said, “At least, she is crazy about you.”

Alan Hoyle gave him a look, “There can be many women who are crazy about you. Do you have to be responsible for each one?”

“It’s nothing but a wishful thinking for them for they are not at the same level as you.” said Kent Bai. He knew that for Alan Hoyle, whether their feelings were true or not, it was only a game. It was impossible to be responsible for each one.

He rubbed his nose out of habit. Alan Hoyle would do anything to escape his responsibility, while Kent Bai, the woman he loved asked him to piss off. What clownery was this?

“How much money in Finn Meyer’s possession now?”

Kent Bai smiled through the pain and went back to his senses.

“Not much. This old fox is bitching around and he’s proud about it. He hypocritically invested his money in Hoyle Group and secretly established a company to buy shares of Hoyle Group and sell it to W.T. He thought that he had done it perfectly, but in fact, we saw it through. After earning a lot of money from W.T., Finn Meyer put a lot of money in Southeast Asian Market. He didn’t know that we’re digging a

hole there and waited for him to jump. Moreover, W.T. Company sold those shares again and the buyer was you. Hoyle Group belonged to you again. Although the returning price was a little higher, but we managed to kick the hassle out and you became the dominant one. Your losses will be covered by the SEA market. We’ll just wait until the money is all in place and we’ll kick his ass. Alan, you’re much more of a fox that the old fox. They say that there is always a yellow bird behind a cicada, but most people forget that behind the yellow bird is a hunter. You make an excellent hunter. Finn Meyer is basically handing the Meyer Group to you.”

Alan Hoyle walked to the wine cellar and poured himself a glass of wine. He gently swayed his glass and smiled, “Maybe, there is another person who will find this unexpected. I’m dying to see the look on his face.”

“Why do I feel like this is going to be sour?” Kent Bai teased.

“That’s because you’ve been jealous lately. I heard that your lover will soon be engaged to another man.”

“She dares not.” Kent Bai grunted. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Dare or not, that’s on her, but whether or not you can win her back, that’s on you. I know you have just enough experience, but still, I think I need to advise you.” Alan Hoyle patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, “Take it easy on her, will you? Don’t rub it on her face too much, or you will scare her away. If you insist, she will look at you as a rogue uncle and she will hide as far as she can.”

“You know I don’t eat people.” he was not a beast and God knew he loved her.

Alan Hoyle laughed, “Sometimes you do. If she stays by your side, she will put her guard up all the time. If she makes a mistake, she will fear for her life. Do you think she will be interested in you that way? You have to learn a thing or two from me. She has to meet Olive. I’ll ask Olive to speak on your

behalf. It’s easy for women to have a heart-to-heart conversation. Maybe, your girl will listen to her. But still, it’s a gamble.”

“I cannot afford to exile myself on a dessert island for a month.” it was hard for him to believe it.

After leaving the hotel, Alan Hoyle didn’t rush back to rest. Instead, he asked Ophelia Meyer out and called Mrs. Hoyle.

He sat at a quiet corner in the coffee shop and waited patiently.

At a distance, he saw Ophelia Meyer coming up with his mother, chatting and laughing like an innocent girl. Her demeanor was confusing. People who didn’t know her would think that she was a simple girl with a simple mind.

Mrs. Hoyle was still upset with Alan Hoyle. She saw down with ugly face, “Is the sun rising from the west today? When you take a break from accompanying your precious woman, you ask you mother and your abandoned fiancé for coffee.”

“Was it you yesterday?” Alan Hoyle lifted his eyes and looked at her faintly.

“I don’t follow. What are you talking about?” Ophelia Meyer said.

"You don’t understand? You did something to Olive’s car and almost killed three lives. Do you want me to say it clearly?” Alan Hoyle reminded her.

Mrs. Hoyle didn’t believe it, “How is that possible? Ophelia was with me yesterday. She never left my side.”

“I met Olive in Baohua Temple yesterday, but I was with mother all the time. I never left her side. Alan, I know you don’t like me, but it doesn’t mean that you can blindly accuse me”

Alan Hoyle was disgusted. When he looked at her face, he felt disgusted, “This is my mother, not yours.”

Ophelia Meyer’s face turned black and blue, she was at loss for words.

Mrs. Hoyle slammed the table, “If you still consider me as your mother, don’t talk to Ophelia like this.”

“Mom, I know that you have a woman for me in your heart, but my wife by law is Olive. You shouldn’t embarrass yourself. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

His light glance made Ophelia Meyer shivered.

Mrs. Hoyle’s face didn’t look any better. Although his statement was understandable, but his attitude pissed her off, “Do you invite us to come today to accuse us? Do you think I’m involve in this?”

Ophelia Meyer wiped her tears, she asked, “Olive had an accident and you suspected me without any evidence. It’s true that Olive Steele and I are enemies, but are you sure that I’m the only one she offended?”

“It’s best not to let me find out that it has something to do with you.” Alan Hoyle gave her a warning look. He got up and walked away. The question somehow reminded him that there was another person who had motive to retaliate against Olive Steele.
