Chapter 43 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

“I know. I know.” Anna sighed, “Since it‘s all over, I‘ll go sign the paper. Let‘s go. Tammy is waiting for me at home.”

Peace had a hot temper and a strong and agile body with the experiences in the army. She could beat several men by herself. The first time Anna met her she was fighting a guy to help a girl outside a bar. After she knew more about Peace, she realized that it was a common thing to get her in the police station.

“Where is your luggage?” Anna asked Peace after they walked out of the police department.

With only a purse in her hand, Peace suddenly thought of something and said in a harry, “Ah, I left it in the parking lot!”

At last, the staff in the airport took them to the left luggage area and found it. It was a burgundy aluminum suitcase, which stood out among the pile of lost ones.

“I told you we will find it.” Peace pulled the suitcase calmly and mocked at Anna‘s overreaction, “Alright, I‘ve had a good day today. We can pick Tammy up later and eat some delicious food.”

They went back to the parking lot. Peace would always park her car in the airport here before she travelled so that she could drive home after she came back.

Peace put the suitcase into the trunk, and they were going to get into the car. Anna suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind, “You should go to the hospital.”

“No, I should go find my lawyer. Raven Snow is a lunatic.” “Are you sure you‘re alright?”

The deep voice echoed in the parking lot. Anna turned around with her hand on the car door, and she saw two tall men talking in front of a BMW. One of them was Wayne.

“Wayne Wright?” Anna shouted in astonishment. Isn‘t he supposed to be at home with the two kids now? What is he doing here?

Wayne also heard Anna‘s voice and looked over at her. His face changed at the sight of her.

“Why are you here?” Anna closed the door and walked to him. Then she saw a man hiding behind him, with bruises on his face that couldn‘t cover his laddish manner.

“Mr. Xavier, what‘s wrong with your face?”

Karl Xavier covered his face with both hands and said bitterly, “How do you know who am with my face covered? You‘re wrong. I‘m not Karl Xavier.”

While Anna was still wondering what happened, Peace walked to Anna and put her hand on Anna‘s shoulder and said with a smile “What? You know them? Is this your friend?”

“Well,” Anna soon introduced them, “This is my boss, Mr. Wright, the CEO of Carousel Group. And this is…”

“I‘m Peace Brooks.” Peace directly interrupted Anna and reached out her hand to Wayne, “I‘m Anna‘s best friend. You‘re Wayne Wright. I‘ve heard a lot about you.”

Wayne glanced at Anna and shook hands with Peace politely, “Nice to meet you.” “And this is?” Peace‘s gaze fell on the man behind Wayne. Meanwhile, Karl Xavier slowly raised his head.

They looked at each other in the eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

“Lunatic!” “p*****t!” Peace and Karl almost shouted at each other almost at the same time.

Anna immediately pulled Peace back who was going to lose her temper, “Hey, what are you doing?”

“It‘s him.” Peace pointed at Karl, “He‘s the p*****t I told you about in the airport police department.”

“Who‘s p*****t?” Karl shouted angrily and blushed though he was still hiding behind Wayne, “You lunatic. Look at my face. Look what you‘ve done to me. Wait for my legal letter. Now I remember you, Peace Brooks, right?”

There were bruises on his face, and his eyes were black.

Even Anna gave him a pity look though she was used to Peace beating others. Wayne took a few steps back to keep a distance from Peace.

“You‘re not a p*****t? Wasn‘t that you who tried to r**e a woman here? I‘ve seen you take off your pants! Oh, disgusting!”

Both Anna and Wayne looked at Karl in astonishment.

Karl looked gentle and polite. Although he liked to flirt with the women in the company, no one would expect that he would do such a filthy thing.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Karl said anxiously, “Do you believe her? It‘s not like that at all!”

“There must be some misunderstanding, Peace.” Anna tried to ease the tension between them. Besides, she couldn’t believe that Karl would really do such a thing

Although she hadn’t been in this company for a long time, she knew that Karl had a good reputation. He liked to flirt with others, but she never heard that he really did something bad.

“I saw it with my own eyes. I knew he wouldn’t admit it, so I took a video.”

Seeing that Anna didn’t believe her, Peace took out her phone and played a juicy video for them.

The scene of the crime was at the backseat of the BMW behind them. In the video, the car door was half open. Karl put his arms around a woman’s shoulder, their clothes in disarray. As the camera zoomed in, they saw that Karl was going to take off his pants and that the woman suddenly struggled and shouted “Help”.

Karl was about drop his pants. “It’s..” Anna couldn’t look at it anymore. She lowered her head and put her hand on her forehead with one hand pushing Peace. She said in a low voice, “It’s enough. Stop it.”

“Hey, why do you still keep this video? Delete it.” Karl shouted furiously, “This is a violation of my privacy.”

Peace raised her eyebrows, “Violation of your privacy? You p*****t. You would’ve succeeded if I weren’t there. You think you can buy your way out of trouble and avoid being detained? I’ll beat you whenever I see you.”

“You crazy woman. You‘re talking nonsense. If you don’t stop, I’ll sue you for slander

Anna and Wayne pulled them apart since they were going to fight again.

“Okay, okay. Peace, please, ease up a bit.” Anna was extremely embarrassed now. Even if Karl was a bad guy, she would still meet him in the company. How could she face him if Peace beat him up again?

“That’s Karl’s girlfriend, Raven Snow.” Wayne explained, with one hand pulling Karl’s arm,“She’s not a passerby.”

“Girlfriend?” Anna was surprised. The atmosphere was less tense now.

“Of course she is my girlfriend. Do you think I’m crazy? What do you think I wanted to do?r**e a woman and then go to jail?” Karl shouted to Peace in sheer exasperation,“ Besides, I didn’t initiate it. It was her scheme.”

All of them were stunned.

In order to prove his innocence, Karl took out his phone to show them the photos of him and his girlfriend and reluctantly explained them how they had an ugly breakup before.

Then they finally understood him.

From Peace’s perspective, when she just went to the parking lot from the airport and was going to put her suitcase into the trunk, she saw the car opposite her was shaking. She looked at it again and heard a woman’s struggling. She took out her phone and filmed the process and captured the scene of a pretty woman being forced to lie under a man. The woman suddenly started screaming for help. Peace couldn’t ignore her, so she pulled Karl out of the car and beat him up and eventually pushed him to the airport police department.

However, it was a completely different story from Karl’s perspective.

“I have just come back from a business trip. Before that, I broke up with Raven. She said that she had something to give me, so she came to pick me up. But she suddenly started touching me in the car. When she saw this woman, she suddenly screamed. She must have borne grudges against me because of the break-up, so she came here to set me up.”

Anna nodded. That‘s possible. On second thought, even if Karl really wants to do such an evil thing, he won‘t choose the parking lot to do it with so many people walking around and all the CCTV cameras.

“How can we be sure that she took the initiative? You said she’s your ex-girlfriend. Maybe you want to have break-up s*x with her.” Peace said in an offhand manner and gave Karl a withering look.

“You…”
