Chapter 52 Why Make Women Suffer

Meanwhile, Mark Pattinson stood still at the same spot. The smile on his lips gradually turned sinister... ‘Want to control him? ‘Hey… ‘They are not qualified enough! ‘If you want to play, he does not mind taking more risks. He does not mind sacrificing more people on the way!’ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ The next day. News of Mark Pattinson’s engagement with Kathleen Turner spread throughout Alpine City. The news made the headlines in newspapers’ and magazine’ covers and became a hot topic in the entire Alpine City instantly. Some said that Kathleen Turner's persistence had paid off and bore fruitful results. Some said that Mark Pattinson was tired of the temptations of the world and was touched by Kathleen Turner's sincerity. Some even exaggerate the whole story and said that Mark Pattinson was having a shotgun marriage with Kathleen Turner... All kinds of news and opinions exploded in Alpine City. Lyla looked at the newspaper and smiled faintly. If the reporters had not come into the picture, this matter would be much quieter. But she felt that having such a result might be a good thing. But among the news, she believed the last version the most. ‘If a shotgun marriage was the case… ‘Hansel and Gretel will be having another sibling?’ Thinking about this, Lyla could not help shaking her head and praying secretly. They had no relationship with each other! But it seemed that Mark Pattinson understood what she said to him yesterday. As the news broke out, the scandal between Lyla and Mark Pattinson had turned insignificant. The scandal gradually faded away and no one ever mentioned it again. Lyla went to work as usual. Although news of Mark Pattinson and Kathleen Turner getting engaged had been spreading in the company, everyone was sceptical but now they were sure about it. Many people in the company were gossiping about this matter. Some were giving their blessings. Some were envious, jealous and for a few who did not like Lyla, they were whispering at her back. They said that all Lyla’s effort had all gone in vain. Finally, Mr. Pattinson was getting engaged to Kathleen Turner in the end. “A rich family background is the contributing factor!” “No way. You just couldn’t fight the facts.” When facing these remarks, Lyla smiled. She did not have to explain herself to all these people and respond to their remarks. ‘He was not someone to her, why should she explain herself?’ Lyla was a person with such character, and she was not obliged to explain to anyone. Her life was fulfilled with her two dear ones at home! At this time, Lily came over, holding today's newspaper in her hand. “This finally happened!” Lily said with a look of regret. Lyla was amused by her expression, “This is meant to happen. Why are you feeling sorry about it?” Besides, this would happen sooner or later. “I'm sorry for you!” Lily said solemnly. “Me? What's wrong with me?” Lyla was surprised. “Are you not aware that people in the company are talking behind your back? They are saying that you failed to climb up the ladder and are still abandoned by Mr. Pattinson...” Lily said. …… Lyla smiled. Lily stared at her, “You could laugh in such a situation?” “What's the matter? I don't have any relationship with Mr. Pattinson. Just let them say what they want to say. What's more I could do. I can't shut their mouth and suppress their thoughts!” Lyla explained. When Lyla said this, she really forgot about the existence of her two babies at home! If they had no relationship at all, how did the two babies come into existence? ‘Were they born out of a rock? ‘When the babies know about it, they would certainly protest and protest!’ Lily understood Lyla's temperament. So, she spoke out casually to fight off injustices for her. Lily held the magazine and looked at the photo on it. "Do you think Kathleen Turner would be happy with Mr. Pattinson? Would Kathleen Turner have to stay in her empty room every day?" Lily was voicing out her opinion and asking a question casually. Lyla sat in her seat, packed her things, and raised her brows when she heard Lily said, “It's hard to tell, they are a good match, but Mr. Pattinson was too flirtatious and needed an emotionally strong partner to tolerate him!” Lyla was just stating her point of view. But she never expected that these words would be heard by Kathleen Turner coincidentally. Kathleen Turner was walking in happily at first, but as soon as she heard Lyla's words, her face turned gloomy. She walked in with a cold face, and went directly in front of Lyla with a domineering attitude, “Miss Turner, what do you mean by that?” Lily was embarrassed and felt that they should not have talked behind each other's back. As they talked about this person, she appeared. But Lyla looked calmer than Lily. She did not say what was untrue about him. What was she worrying about? Besides, what she said was indeed a fact. Lyla smiled indifferently, “I didn't mean anything!” Kathleen Turner's glamorous expression changed, “You could tolerate what I couldn't?” “I didn't mean that, Director Turner, you think too much!” Lyla said lightly, not wanting to argue with her. “Huh, Lyla Lowe, let me tell you, now I am engaged to Mark, and he was my man. If you dare to use any underhanded means, I will not let you go!” Kathleen Turner warned her fiercely. Lyla curled her lips and sighed, ‘This is how women behave!’ Kathleen Turner turned around and left. “Director Turner, you don’t have to worry about it. If something belongs to you, it will always come back to you. The others won’t be able to take it from you. If it doesn't belong to you, you will eventually lose it. I don’t mean anything else. I just want to tell you not to think of me as your imaginary enemy, as I never thought of competing with you at all. I am really not interested in your Mr. Pattinson!” Lyla uttered every word in front of so many employees. Lyla spoke in a fearless and calm complexion. In the past, she resisted from saying anything because there was no need to defend herself. But now, Kathleen Turner really took herself too seriously! Kathleen Turner clenched her fists. Her anger eventually dissipated, and she could not find the reason to have an outburst. This woman's speech was amazing. “Also, I wish you happiness!” Lyla gave her blessings generously with a smile. Her generous gesture made those people who previously spoke behind her back a bit embarrassed. The words of Kathleen Turner just now seemed redundant. “It's best if that's the case!” Kathleen Turner finished her speech, turned around and walked into the office. The other employees who stopped by to watch the drama went back to work, but Lily shouted, “Cool!” "If you don't teach her a lesson, she would continue to behave egotistically!" Lily said and turned her head to look at Lyla, "Girl, you are so generous and bold!" Lyla dismissed her with a laugh. In the director’s office. Neil Isaac sat on the sofa with his legs folded gracefully. He read the newspaper with a thin smile on his lips. He was an extremely handsome man born with his exquisite features, but he was not the same type of person as Mark Pattinson. His smile was derived from his own warm temperament. It was pure and free from any trace of impurities. "I thought you wouldn't be engaged to Kathleen Turner!" Neil Isaac said with a smile as he could not figure out what Mark Pattinson saw in Kathleen Turner. Neil Isaac, one of the hall masters of Hell's Gate, was close friends with Mark Pattinson. He was also a brother who had been through life and death with him. Ten years ago, they met for the first time and felt a deep kinship with each other. Soon, they founded Hell's Gate together. Although they seemed to have a simple relationship, their relationship was quite complicated. Mark Pattinson sat on his presidential chair made of leather. His fathom-long body was leaning back lazily. With a very enchanting posture, he said, "She is the city mayor's daughter. After marrying her, things would be far more convenient. Why don't I get engaged with her?" His words were neither warm nor cold, so people could not tell his emotions. ‘Besides, they have been together for several years. In the eyes of outsiders, they should be getting together. Is there anything wrong with this?’ These words seemed normal, but to Neil Isaac who knew him, it was a joke. “Really? Would the Hall Master of Hell's Gate care about a mayor's daughter?” Neil Isaac seemed to have heard a joke and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. ‘Not to mention anything else, it is just a matter of capability. Without Mark Pattinson, he is afraid that Aron Turner would not be as successful as he is today. ‘In terms of money, the amount of money Mark Pattinson has could easily buy him a new city. ‘Therefore, he did not believe that Mark Pattinson was only interested in Aron Turner’s power and influence. There must be something else!’ “She is the city mayor's daughter. His father is an authoritative and influential figure in Alpine City!" Mark Pattinson said quietly, but there was a smug look on his face. “Oh? How did you run so fast when the daughter of the President of the United States fell for you?” Neil Isaac asked with a smile. “I like purebreds!” “I remember that you accept women of all different races!” “I have improved myself now!” “Not bad, no wonder the society has been so harmonious...” Mark Pattinson glared at him fiercely and looked at him with a nonchalant smile, “You are here to mock me??” “NONONO, I am here to congratulate you!” Neil Isaac was still smiling gracefully. “No, thank you!” Mark Pattinson gritted his teeth and glanced fiercely at Neil Isaac who was sitting on the sofa elegantly. Neil Isaac laughed. He was an elegant gentleman and the way he smiled gave out a sense of clean beauty, “Speaking of this, what are you going to do? Are you going to marry that woman?” Neil Isaac leaned on the sofa; his clean face was emulating an indescribable temperament. After hearing what he said, Mark Pattinson gave him a grin, “You think I don’t know what happened between Aron Turner and that woman? They want to use this as a means to control me. I just have to follow what they said. However, if I’m not happy at any time, an email will be sent to the court, and the evidence of the mayor committing treason will be leaked out...” Neil Isaac looked at Mark Pattinson and gave him a thumbs up, “You are relentless!” Mark Pattinson gazed back at him, signalling that he too was relentless. ‘Do not be deceived by Neil Isaac’s gentle and graceful looks. Nobody ever imagined that he would have killed all the members of a small gang in the United States. When they first started Hell's Gate, Neil Isaac appeared with blood stains all over his body, as if an angel had been possessed by the devil. One could only imagine such a picture in their minds.’ Mark Pattinson looked at him, "Why did you come to the Alpine City suddenly?" Having said that, Neil Isaac put aside his smile and walked towards him, "I received news that there is an upheaval in Europe. We reckoned that the Hell’s Angels Alliance is fighting with the Eastern Union Alliance. Adam, let me ask if you intend to get involved with this?" Speaking of this, Mark Pattinson immersed himself in what was being said for a moment. He was leaning against a chair and his slender eyes narrowed slightly. 'Hell’s Angels Alliance was fighting against the Eastern Alliance'. "If we make a move now, helping either party wouldn’t hurt!" Neil Isaac said.
