Chapter 325 Love Watching Dogs Bite Each Other
Zane’s sudden shout startled everyone in the room.
“Zane!” Pippa immediately rushed forward with a coquettish expression, wanting to reach out and pull him, but Zane avoided her.
“Why are you here?” He frowned, looking very unhappy.
“I came to see you, but I didn’t expect to run into Willette and Nydia arguing, so I couldn’t help but say a few words,” Pippa explained.
Nydia ignored them and looked at Willette. “Sis, let’s go outside and talk.”
Willette was thinking about Nydia’s words just now. Was it really Pippa who instigated it? Otherwise, how could she appear so coincidentally right after Willette arrived, especially since she had never been to the company before?
“Zane, bring your fiancee and come to my office,” Willette said, feeling the need to clarify things.
“Fiancee?” Zane’s attention was completely focused on the word.
“She claims to be your fiancee!” Maddie pointed at Pippa.
Zane’s face instantly turned pale.
“Pippa, what nonsense are you talking about? When did you become my fiancee?” He glanced at Nydia unconsciously, but Nydia just curled her lips in a mocking arc.
Pippa was stunned. She didn’t expect Zane to deny her in front of so many people.
“Zane, we…” she tried to explain.
“Please call me Mr. Porter. We’re not that familiar,” Zane interrupted her coldly.
Everyone present looked like they were enjoying the show. They didn’t like Pippa’s arrogant attitude earlier, but they didn’t say anything because she was Zane’s fiancee. Now that Zane had denied it directly, their eyes all turned mocking.
Pippa’s face turned pale. She bit her lip and said, “How could you do this to me!” She stomped her foot and was about to leave, but Willette stopped her.
“Miss Wagner, there are some things I need to clarify with you. Please come with me to my office.”
“Get out of my way, you dog!” Pippa couldn’t do anything to Zane, but she could vent her anger on Willette.
“This is my company. Who are you to act wild here?” Willette said coldly. “I have reason to suspect that you instigated Jasper to ruin my wedding.”
“Are you crazy? I don’t even know Jasper!”
“Just because you say you don’t know him, doesn’t mean you don’t know him,” Willette retorted. She was filled with anger and needed a way to release it.
Zane didn’t want them to keep arguing, so he spoke up and suggested that everyone go to the office to talk things out. They arrived at Willette’s office, where Pippa had a sour face. But when facing Zane, her eyes turned resentful again. “Sis, I never had any contact with Jasper, so I really don’t know how he found out about your pregnancy,” Nydia spoke first. “Could it be someone he knows at the hospital?” This reminded Willette that she hadn’t thought of this when she went to the hospital for a checkup.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, Willette. Do you have a thing with Jasper?” Pippa didn’t want to let Willette off the hook.
Willette sneered, “Whether or not I have a thing with Jasper is none of your business. But do you have any shame pretending to be engaged to Advisor Zane? Just now, Zane said he wasn’t familiar with you!”
Pippa was instantly furious. “Willette, wait. I won’t let you off the hook! Is this shabby office even worth my time?” She opened the door and left, stomping away in her high heels. Indeed, the Wagner family looked down on Willette. But the Wagner family knew that if they kept going like this, their family wouldn’t make it. They had to form an alliance with the Porter family, and Zane was the person that Pippa had to catch.
“I’m sorry that my personal relationship has affected my colleagues in the company,” Zane apologized.
“Zane, this has nothing to do with you,” Willette couldn’t vent her anger on Zane, “There’s nothing left to discuss. You can go back to your work.”
Zane walked out.
Nydia was concerned about Willette. “Sis, did Barclay bully you?”
Willette’s face stiffened for a moment, then she shook her head. “No, I just feel bad for him. A perfectly good wedding was ruined like this.”
“As long as he believes in you, there shouldn’t be any problem. Rumors stop at the wise. Just don’t see Jasper again in the future.”
“Okay.” Willette grabbed Nydia’s hand. “Nydia, you have to testify for me and prove that I have nothing to do with Jasper.”
“Sis, don’t worry! I will never testify for you.”
“Nydia, I misunderstood you earlier. It’s just that so much has happened recently that I don’t trust anyone anymore. Don’t blame me.”
“I understand. Don’t worry about it.”
After calming Willette down, Nydia left her office. She didn’t expect to gain anything unexpected. Was Pippa going to have a conflict with Willette? But just now, Zane’s attitude towards Pippa was very bad, completely not giving her any face. What’s going on? She thought about it for a while but quickly lost interest. Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, it seemed that the rain was not going to stop, and the next few days would be bad.
At the end of the workday, her phone rang.
“Mommy, have you finished work? We’re here to pick you up,” said the children.
Nydia was surprised, “You’re here to pick me up? At the building downstairs?”
“Yes, Mommy, come down quickly, it’s raining heavily,” said the children.
Nydia quickly packed her things and asked, “How are you getting back, Maddie?”
“I… I don’t know if I should call a taxi,” Maddie replied.
“Come with me, I’ll take you back,” Maddie said.
“Okay, thank you!” Maddie didn’t hesitate to accept.
They went to the underground car park, and after Nydia drove her car out, she parked it on the side and saw Jesse’s car.
It was raining heavily, and even with an umbrella, their pants were wet.
“Mommy, come up quickly,” Vergil got off the car to hold the umbrella for Nydia, to prevent her from getting wet when she was closing it.
“Vergil, you drive my car back home.” Nydia handed him the car key. “Okay, Missus.”
The heater in the car made them feel comfortable once they got in.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Molly had brought a clean towel to wipe the water stains off their clothes.
“Sis, you should wipe yourself too.” Molly handed the towel to Maddie.
“Thank you, you’re so cute!” Maddie wanted to pinch her cheeks.
“First, let me drop off my colleague at home. It’s not convenient for her to take a taxi in such heavy rain,” Nydia said to Jesse, who didn’t object.
“How come you came to pick me up?” Nydia pinched Molly’s face.
Maddie wanted to pinch her, but she didn’t dare.
“We were afraid it was dangerous in such heavy rain, so Brother asked Daddy to come with us to pick you up,” Molly replied.
“Thank you.”
On the way, Molly was mostly the one talking, and they dropped off Maddie at her place.
The car was driving slowly because the visibility was low, and there was already some standing water in some places. Fortunately, the driver was like a live map and tried to avoid the areas with water. The car they were in had a higher chassis, so there was no problem.
“Mommy, let’s stay at home tomorrow,” Tavish looked worriedly at the heavy rain outside.
“Okay.”
“Will Daddy stay at home tomorrow too?” Tavish asked.
Jesse pursed his lips and didn’t answer.
Nydia was unhappy and said directly, “Your son asked you a question!”
“You don’t want me to stay at home, do you?” Jesse added.
