Free Web NovelChapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Mr. Bennet, Please Behave Yourself
Watt Bennet seemed not to hear, stubbornly holding her and continuing to walk his own way.
"Adrian Walyon, I’m telling you to let go! Let go!" Summer Sutton was truly angry, swinging her arm and slapping him randomly.
"No way!" Watt turned his head to look at her, resolutely replying, "Not for a lifetime!"
Hoisting Summer Sutton over his shoulder, their path ahead was blocked by a black Rolls-Royce.
Summer Sutton paused, lifting her face in astonishment.
Through the car window, Watt Bennet looked at the person sitting inside, and his expression instantly darkened.
It was already night, and the lighting on their road was dim, so he couldn’t actually see who was inside the car.
However, the person had not yet stepped out, but Watt Bennet had already guessed his identity.
Manuel Ink!
Sure enough, when the car door opened, Manuel Ink’s face appeared in front of them.
"Mr. Bennet, to keep a woman now, is this the only method left?" Glancing at Summer Sutton, who was slung over his shoulder, Manuel Ink remarked with a faint sarcasm.
Although his tone was flat, his words were remarkably sharp.
As if Watt Bennet had nothing left for a woman to willingly stay, to hold onto a woman, he had to rely on force.
His words were like a dagger in Watt Bennet’s heart, causing a certain lingering pain.
Taking advantage of the moment, Summer Sutton slipped down from him and moved toward Manuel Ink.
"If Mr. Bennet can’t explain this incident clearly, we will no longer have any relationship. Please also refrain from intruding in the future." Throwing him this line, Summer Sutton bent down to get into a passing taxi.
Manuel Ink had come to pick her up, but she didn’t get into his car.
Summer Sutton understood Watt Bennet’s mood now, and by doing this, she was just avoiding stabbing another dagger into his heart.
Not choosing Watt Bennet, but also not following Manuel Ink, this made Watt Bennet feel a bit better.
Even if he and Summer Sutton were temporarily apart, no other man would get involved!
He actually trusted Summer Sutton; if she didn’t want to return during this period, she wouldn’t go back.
As long as she doesn’t disappear forever, Watt could accept a temporary separation.
He could just use this time to properly investigate Lorraine Hughes’s incident.
...
Summer Sutton really had nowhere to go, so after getting in the taxi, she headed straight to Ariella Sawyer’s place.
She had no relation with Manuel Ink, and after leaving Adrian Walyon, she certainly wouldn’t stay with the Ink Family unless the Old Master Ink pursued those five years with her.
After receiving her call, Ariella Sawyer specially left work early to wait for her at home.
She opened the door for Summer Sutton, and once inside, Summer curled up on the sofa without saying a word.
"What do you plan to do?" Ariella Sawyer followed her inside and sat down beside her.
"I don’t know." Summer Sutton shook her head.
Ariella Sawyer’s brows furrowed tightly; she found this incident hard to comprehend, "To speak of it, Lorraine Hughes doesn’t even know what Watt Bennet looks like. The two have had only a few interactions, even if Watt was drugged that night and Lorraine wasn’t, she was sober, how could this happen?"
Summer Sutton bowed her face, pondering this question as well.
She really hadn’t understood this point.
While Watt Bennet is outstanding, Lorraine Hughes has barely interacted with him a few times, and Lorraine’s own conditions are not lacking—rich family daughter, a top-tier actress—why would she willingly let this happen?
