Chapter 62 Lyla Causes Trouble Again

“If you can slap me, why can’t I do the same to you?” Lyla looked at Kathleen Turner and asked. ‘Do you think that you’re superior just because you’re the mayor’s daughter?’ “You!” Kathleen Turner glared at her fiercely. This woman always looked calm no matter in what circumstances. Her calm expression could make other people go crazy. Lyla sneered. “Kathleen Turner, I put up with you once because I want to show you some respect, but don’t be insatiable. Who do you think you are? The mayor’s daughter? What else do you have besides this title? But let me tell you. It isn’t a proud thing to rely on your father, so don’t show it off all day. Even I feel ashamed for you!” Lyla warned her clearly. Lily was not here. Otherwise, she would definitely give Lyla a round of applause for what she said! What she said was simply too good and satisfying! Kathleen Turner glared at Lyla fiercely. Lyla’s words suddenly made her speechless. “So what? You’re nothing compared to me in your whole life. Regardless of what I rely on, you’re destined to lose to me in this life, Lyla Lowe!” Kathleen Turner shouted in anger. “Oh, really? Then why are you giving me a hard time again now?” “I’m obviously here to teach you a lesson because you seduced Mark!” Speaking of this, she thought of the photo, so she looked at Lyla and shouted angrily, “Lyla Lowe, I will definitely not let you have a peaceful life in Alpine City!” Lyla frowned. Seduced, Kathleen Turner used “seduced” again! She used this word so frequently that even Lyla was tired of it. Could she change to a new word? Lyla looked at her impatiently. “Kathleen, can you use a new word? You use this word so frequently that even I am tired of it. Since you treasure Mark so much, why don’t you try your best to make him stay at home? And I’ll say it one more time: I didn’t seduce Mark, and I have nothing to do with him. You better get it clear and not offend me anymore. Otherwise, I will turn your words into reality!” Lyla also became slightly emotional when she said all of this. She was really fed up with her unreasonable harassment. Besides, she said the last sentence with a dizzy mind as well. As a result, her words made Kathleen Turner's expression change drastically. She absolutely believed that Lyla had such an ability! Otherwise, Mark Pattinson would not say that he wanted to give her his heart. If she really decided to seduce him… She dared not to imagine the consequences! Lyla calmed down when she saw Kathleen Turner remain silent. "I’ve said what I had to say, so please stay away from me in the future. Don't ask for trouble!” She attempted to leave after she said that. Lyla did not want to talk with her anymore because regardless of what she said and how she explained, Kathleen Turner still believed that she had seduced Mark Pattinson. No matter what she said, she would only think that she was lying, so what else could she say? Kathleen Turner went crazy when she noticed that Lyla was about to leave. "Lyla Lowe, you witch! I'll kill you!" Kathleen Turner said with a grimace and pounced on Lyla from behind. Lyla had learned some self-defense skills from Felix Smith before. When she sensed that there was a danger behind her, she subconsciously dodged, so Kathleen Turner failed to pounce on her. What was more important was that they were on the stairwell. When Kathleen Turner failed to pounce on Lyla, she lost balance and missed a step. She fell down the stairs. “Ah!” Kathleen shouted. When Lyla realized it and saw Kathleen fall, she extended her hand to pull her up, but she failed. She saw Kathleen fall down the stairs right before her eyes. Lyla blankly stood there. It was just a few steps, but… After she came back to her senses, she immediately ran down. “Are you okay? Kathleen, are you okay?” Kathleen Turner’s face was pale, and there were a few scratches on it. She could not say a word due to pain. Right then, someone came over and happened to see this scene. That person looked at Lyla in shock, as if Lyla was the one who pushed Kathleen Turner down the stairs. That person was terrified and shouted after being stunned for a while, “Director Turner! Are you okay, Director Turner? Somebody comes! Director Turner fell down the stairs…” … Mark Pattinson walked into the company with a tired expression, but he still looked charming and noble. After he drove away that day, he received a call from Neil Isaac unexpectedly. Something had happened in the United States, so he had rushed over there for two weeks. Right after Mark Pattinson walked in, he saw everyone panicking. “What happened?” Mark Pattinson asked coldly. When the employee saw Mark Pattinson come back, he was slightly surprised. After all, he had not seen him for two weeks. Then, he came back to his senses. “Director Turner fell down the stairs!” Mark Pattinson frowned and immediately rushed to the stairwell the next moment. When Mark Pattinson walked in, Lyla was standing at the side while a few employees were busy carrying Kathleen Turner. “Mr. Pattinson!” When Lyla heard that, she looked up. The moment her gaze met Mark Pattinson’s gaze, they could sense many things from each other's eyes. Mark Pattinson quickly moved his gaze away from Lyla and looked at the staircase. When he saw the person lying on the floor, he kept a straight face and walked there directly without further ado. “Kathleen…” Mark Pattinson looked at her with a gloomy expression. “What happened?” “I don’t know. I only know that Ms. Lowe and Director Turner were quarreling here. When I came in, I saw Director Turner fall down the stairs…” the employee said vaguely. He was implying that Lyla was the one who pushed Kathleen Turner down. Lyla, who stood there, frowned when she heard the employee’s explanation. Mark Pattinson raised his head and glanced at Lyla. His deep gaze was incomprehensible. Lyla just stood there and did not say anything. Her eyes were full of honesty. She did not do it, so she did not feel guilty. Kathleen Turner fell into Mark Pattinson’s arms with her hand on her stomach. “It hurts… My stomach hurts…” she said as if she was in pain. When Mark Pattinson saw her painful expression, he bent down. He carried her into his arms without hesitation and was about to leave. “Ah, she is bleeding…” a colleague shouted. Mark Pattinson, who carried Kathleen Turner into his arms, also found a pool of blood on her lower body. Lyla looked at the bloodstain on the floor and seemed to have a guess. Mark Pattinson had a frightening expression. “Call 999! Call for an ambulance!” The employee, who stood at the side, was surprised by Mark Pattinson’s order. He immediately nodded and called for an ambulance. Mark Pattinson carried Kathleen Turner in his arms and rushed upstairs. Then, she grabbed his clothes. “Mark, am I going to…die?” “You won’t. You won’t die…” Mark Pattinson said, “Don’t say anything first. I’ll send you to the hospital!” However, Kathleen Turner started to cry suddenly. She grabbed Mark Pattinson. “Mark, I really love you. Really. I’m willing to do anything for you, so please don’t leave me, okay?” Mark Pattinson looked at Kathleen Turner and frowned. Finally, he replied in a deep voice, “Okay, I won’t leave you!” He spoke in his usual cold and domineering tone. Then, he left with her in his arms. Lyla did not miss Mark Pattinson’s words. Her heart trembled slightly, but she did not say anything. She just stood there calmly, but no expression could be read on her face. … In the hospital, Kathleen Turner was taken into the emergency room. Mark Pattinson waited outside. His handsome face was frightening and gloomy. He leaned against the wall as if he was thinking about something. Right then, Aron Turner and Erica Thomson rushed over after they heard about the news of Kathleen Turner’s accident. “Mark, what happened?” Aron Turner rushed over and asked worriedly. Mark Pattinson pursed his lips and did not say anything. Right then, the employee saw Aron Turner and excitedly said, “Director Turner and Ms. Lowe were arguing about something at the stairwell. I heard some noises, so I walked over. I saw Director Turner fall down the stairs, and Ms. Lowe was standing on the stairs…” That vague and unclear explanation immediately implied Lyla as the culprit. “Ms. Lowe? Which Ms. Lowe?” Aron Turner frowned and asked sternly. “She is our company’s new designer, Ms. Lyla Lowe…” Right after the employee finished his sentence, Mark Pattinson glared at him fiercely. In the end, he was too scared to say anything. “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know the situation!” Mark Pattinson warned. The employee was so frightened that he immediately shut up. Aron Turner instantly understood. Kathleen Turner told him about this woman before. Besides, she had a rumored affair with Mark Pattinson once. They were urged to engage because of this as well. “It must be her. That woman must be the one who caused Kathleen to fall down the stairs. If something happens to Kathleen, I will make her life miserable!” Erica Thomson said angrily. She believed that Lyla was the culprit. “Mrs. Turner, it is better not to conclude hastily without investigating what happened thoroughly,” Mark Pattinson said. He was not protecting Lyla on purpose. He just felt that something was fishy with the accident because Lyla did not seem like such a person. Aron Turner frowned. “Mark, what did you mean by that? There were only two of them. If it wasn’t that woman, did Kathleen fall down the stairs on her own? Don’t forget that Kathleen is your fiancée. It is fine if you don’t want to help her, but you actually dare to protect that woman!” It was obvious that Aron Turner was in an angry state. On the other hand, Mark Pattinson seemed indifferent. This part of him was similar to Lyla. “Mayor Turner, it is just as you said. Kathleen is my fiancée, so why would I protect another woman? Rest assured. If she really did it, I won’t show her any mercy in this matter!” Aron Turner was stunned for a moment when he heard Mark Pattinson’s words. Was there really nothing between Mark Pattinson and that woman? “I’m glad to know that. Don’t say that I’m picking on the weak using my identity as the mayor. I’m a father as well, so I will definitely not allow other people to bully my daughter like this!” “Rest assured, Mayor Turner. I’ll definitely handle this matter well!” Aron Turner nodded and did not say anything anymore. The relationship between them complemented each other. Without Mark Pattinson, he feared that he would not have his current position. Mark Pattinson seemed unrestrained, but Aron Turner knew that he was not simple. He did not say much because it would not benefit him to offend Mark Pattinson. Right then, the emergency room’s door suddenly opened. When Mark Pattinson, Aron Turner, and Erica Thomson heard the sound, they rushed over. “Doctor, how is she?” “Doctor, how is my daughter?” Everyone asked in unison.
