MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 96 Continue

“Oh no! I’m sorry to have stepped on you.” Although sandra  was apologizing to her, she was smiling happily. She refused to remove her foot from Lina’s hand.

Lexi  looked at her colleagues and then at sandra before standing up suddenly.

Since Lexi had stood up, naturally, she lifted her hand. Sandra was caught unaware and she fell to the ground. The chair that she had been sitting on fell on her and hit the leg of hers that was on its way to recovery.

Sandra cried out in pain. When the rest of them saw her, they went over to her immediately to help her up.

“Lexi  don’t you want this job anymore? How can you treat Miss mayer in this manner?!” the director reprimanded lexi angrily.

Lexi sneered, “You’re right. I don’t want this job anymore. I have had enough of it. I’m merely earning a salary, not selling myself to the design research institute as a slave. Why should I allow myself to be treated in this manner?!”

Sandra  said angrily, “Do you think you can get off scot-free by resigning? I will sue you for inflicting injuries on me!”

“Go ahead. I will sue you for deliberately hurting me too! I will go to the hospital to get an injury assessment report right away!” Lexi said as she waved her injured hand before sandra.

Sandra was being presumptuous, but Lina was even more aggressive than her.

Lexi was fuming with anger. Since sandra could not deal with claire, she had chosen to attack her friend!

“Listen up. Do you think isaac will back you up just because he's backing claire up? Stop dreaming! Ho! He’s just toying with her feelings. She has herself to blame for killing sister irish . Do you think isaac  would fall for someone who killed his fiancée?!”

The minute sandra  made that comment, Lexi was stunned.

Iaaac… and claire?” “What do you mean by that? Why would isaac back claire up? What do you mean by saying that he’s toying with her feelings?” Lexi asked sandra as she stepped forth staring at her.

Sandra realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. Her Big Brother had instructed her not to tell anyone about it.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about sandra  said as she got to her feet. She leaned on her crutch and left hastily with her nurse.

The director immediately went after her, trying to appease her.

The rest of the colleagues started to blame Lina, but she took no notice of them. She was thinking over sandra’s words.

“Have isaac  and claire gotten together? If that were the case claire would have told me about it!

“Moreover claire is working in the Sanitation Service Center and her life is mundane. She couldn’t have met isaac.

After claire had gotten out of prison, the only man that she had come into contact with was isaac whom she had found on the streets.

When isaac name flashed through Lexi’s mind, she froze suddenly. Isaac .. Everest Isaac .
“Could it be… Is this possible? Could such a thing happen? If Isaac Landford  why was he pretending to be homeless and staying by Grace’s side?

“What’s his motive?”

Lina’s mind was in turmoil.

Grace was able to walk on her own the following day.

She was not as weak as she had been on the first day. Her phone rang from time to time with calls from relatives on her mother’s side.

As for their purposes, there were all kinds. Some of them were begging for forgiveness for their uncles and hoped that she could withdraw the case. Some of them were asking which big shot had taken her away from the Miller family that day.

After all, there had been so many police cars tightly surrounding the Miller family that all the neighbors around had seen it.

Then, there were some people asking to borrow money from claire. They said that since she knew a big shot, she should have a lot of money, and it was expected of her to help her relatives.

Claire was speechless. With regards to this “big shot”, even she did not know the true identity of  isaac.

However, from what these people said, she slowly managed to piece together some things that isaac had not said. She figured out how she had been rescued from the Miller family that night.

Claire left the ward and slowly walked along the corridor. She said to the nurse who was in charge of taking care of her, “You don’t have to follow me. I want to walk around on my own.”” Having other people following her made her feel awkward. The nurse assented.

The bodyguards who had been guarding the door of the ward didn’t say anything when they saw this scene. After all, since this morning claire  had already walked along the corridor several times.

When claire walked by the exit of the stairwell, she happened to see isaac through the glass door. He was standing to one side of the stairwell and making a phone call.

With a cigarette in his hand, he leaned slightly against the corner of the wall. From her position, she could see his back, his elegant neck, narrow shoulders, slender legs, and fitting suit. Even if it was just a casual standing posture, it could make people feel like he was a model in a magazine.

Before that, she had still been thinking that she would save up money to buy a suit for him in the future. She had wanted to see how he looked in a suit, but she had not expected that she would see him wearing a suit under such circumstances.

At this moment, the phone she had brought with her suddenly rang claire quickly picked it up and looked at the caller ID. Surprisingly, it was a call from Lexi

“Lexi what’s the matter?” claire asked.

“claire, you… are you with isaac now?” Lexi had to especially muster up strength when she said the word isaac.

“Yes,” claireplied.

“Then… is he by your side now?” lexi continued, a hint of anxiety in her tone.

“He’s not here,” claire said. Her eyes were looking at the figure behind the glass door. He was still talking on the phone with his back to her and had not noticed her.

Her eyes moved down and fell to the cigarette between his fingers again. Speaking of which, she had not thought that he would know how to smoke. After all, he had never smoked in front of her.

However, thinking about it, he must be the son of a rich and powerful family. It seemed impossible to think that he wouldn’t know how to smoke.

Moreover, his posture as he held the cigarette inexplicably gave off an indescribable elegance. This was the first time claire had seen that there was a man who could hold a cigarette in such a handsome manner.
