Chapter 73 Fooling Around in the Company

Seeing her weep bitterly as if she had been hurt deeply, Mark Pattinson looked at her coldly.

Kathleen Turner—this woman had been with him for six years.

When he first got to know her, he already knew that she was no more a virgin. Despite bleeding, she was very good in bed and he would not believe it was her first time.

All these years, she had more or less settled down. Mark Pattinson was not a cold-blooded animal; he had noticed the changes she had made for him. He knew it, but…

He had never fallen in love with her.

At that moment, Mark Pattinson softened his look and gazed at her. “Kathleen, if you’ve never done anything, no one can accuse you!”

In other words, if you did it, no matter what, you could not escape from it!

“It’s not me. Mark, you have to trust me!” Kathleen Turner sobbed. It was such a pathetic look to behold.

“If you’ve never done it, you don’t have to come over and ask me if I trust you or not. You know yourself well!” The way Mark Pattinson spoke was like a two-edged sword. No one could guess if he trusted her or not.

Kathleen Turner looked into Mark Pattinson’s eyes. In her opinion, Mark Pattinson did not believe in her. Looking at his gaze, she felt a chill running down to her spine.

She shook her head non-stopped like a rattle drum, with her watery nasal and bitter tears, she choked, “Not me, it’s not me. Someone must have set me up! It’s Lyla Lowe, must be her, it must be her, she’s jealous of me…” Kathleen Turner started to talk nonsense.

Initially, Mark Pattinson still had some patience for her. But, when Kathleen Turner put all the blame on Lyla, he frowned in frustration.

Men hated women’s jealousy. It was a blind feeling.

Kathleen Turner’s jealousy was excessive.

At that moment, Gretel who was beside them could not bear to listen to her anymore.

The unjustified accusation was real. She could simply put the blame on Mommy even when Mommy was far far away from her!

How could Gretel bear with her like this?

At that moment, she could not help but opened her mouth and said, “That’s not true. I heard from others that those photos are real, not a hint of fakeness!”

Once she had spoken herself, the room fell silent.

Erica Thomson and Kathleen Turner stared at Gretel, “Kid, don’t say anything if you know nothing!”

“What I just said is real!” Gretel repeated herself persistently.

For some reason, she felt that she saw Lyla in her. Kathleen Turner’s gaze was filled with hatred. “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Seeing Kathleen Turner shouting at her, Gretel pretended to look scared and hid behind Mark Pattinson. “Mister, I’m so scared, this Madam is very fierce!”

Kathleen Turner stared at her. Her pair of eyes were burning with hatred!

This child…

“Kathleen, why are you shouting at a child?” Mark Pattinson questioned her.

“I…” Kathleen Turner gave Mark Pattinson a look of not knowing how to explain herself. Her heart was fuming with fire yet, there was no means for her to work out her anger.

“Mark, I…”

“Kathleen, do not simply make accusations without any evidence. If you do and are overheard by others, you’ll be sued for committing a defamation crime!” Mark Pattinson said.

Why until this moment, he was still siding with that woman?

She admitted, she purposely said so just because she could not afford to hear another word from Mark Pattinson that sided with Lyla!

It would only excite her even more!

“You don’t trust me? Kathleen Turner asked.

“I only trust what I see!”

Kathleen Turner was speechless.

She lost for words.

Indeed, if Mark Pattinson no longer trusted her, even if others did, they no longer matter to her.

The scandal was a fact, but it was the way Mark Pattinson treated her that sent a shiver down to her spines again.

Seeing her fall and sat on the ground in a sluggish look, Mark Pattinson frowned.

“Mark, no matter how, you should believe in Kathleen, right? She loves you so much, how would she commit the scandal. Aside, even if the trap was not set up by that woman, it could be someone else!” Erica Thomson was giving her best to clear Kathleen Turner’s name.

Kathleen Turner did not say anything.

Mark Pattinson thought for a moment. At that instant, he thought of Neil Isaac’s words. He then opened his mouth and said, “Ms. Turner, I understand that Kathleen was good to me. I knew it!”

Ugh?

The sudden change in his greeting manner caught them by surprise. They were not used to his new manner and wondered at his abrupt change.

However, Erica Thomson reacted swiftly to the situation and said, “What do you plan to do then? The scandal is getting out of control!”

Mark Pattinson thought for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth and said, “Since the scandal has occurred and the reporters are waiting outside, if there’s not much impact on your health, you might as well go home and get a few days of rest!” he replied.

As she heard this, Erica Thomson looked at Kathleen Turner. She frowned and did not know how to reply to him.

“I’ve asked the doctor, her body is back to a healthy state and can discharge from the hospital at any time. Also, she can stay at home till the fuss dies down!” Mark Pattinson said nonchalantly, “I still have some work on hand in the company, I need to go back and settle them!”

As they listened to Mark Pattinson’s words, one could judge that he was already considered a good man, given the current situation, since he was willing to show up, as well as give some constructive advice. If another man were to be placed in his shoes, that man would have stirred up the issue and not easily given up on the matter.

As such, from this incident, one could notice that Mark Pattinson was indeed unlike any other ordinary man. No one knew what he was plotting in his heart.

Hopefully, it was for Kathleen’s own good!

She nodded. “Let’s go with the flow!”

Nonetheless, Kathleen Turner shook her head like a madwoman. “No, I’m not leaving. Mother, you’ve got to help me, you have to help me. I was set up…”

Mark Pattinson did not bother to say more. He looked at Gretel. “Come, let’s go!”

Gretel nodded happily and the two of them walked out one behind the other.

The reporters remained in their positions at the entrance. Mark Pattinson turned a blind eye to all of them and brought Gretel out. Such an atmosphere greatly satisfied Gretel’s vanity.

Mark Pattinson could provide a special sense of security for her, which was irreplaceable.

After they boarded his car, Mark Pattinson looked at her. “When is your Mommy clocking off work?”

“What time is Mister clocking out from work?” Gretel asked.

They worked in the same company. Therefore, his off work hour was no different from Mommy’s.
