Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 138

“Auntie, I know you blame me for not protecting Michelle well. I admit that what Michelle did had something to do with me. I don’t care if you hit me or scold me. I’ll do anything for you as long as you forgive me. “After hesitating for a moment, Scott began to confound him as a child.

Yes, it was his fault. If it hadn’t been for him, Michelle wouldn’t have been locked in the mall or the supermarket freezer.

It was all his fault.

Scott blamed himself and hated himself. But what could he do now? He couldn’t bring Michelle out of her coma and appear before him safely.

“Well, I know you did it inadvertently. It’s work after all. No one can decide that bad things happen. ” Noting Scott’s sincere expression as he took the initiative to apologise, Olivia didn’t want to blame him. The doctor had told her that Michelle’s physical condition was fine now. She just needed to rest more and take care to keep warm.

Now, even though her hands were cold, her body temperature was gradually warming up.

The heating was on in the bedroom. As Michelle needed a lot of warmth, Scott had put up with it. In fact, it was he who suffered.

He’d been next to Michelle, so now he must have felt very sad.

Olivia wasn’t an unreasonable person, so she decided to forgive him.

They sat together by the bed. Seeing her face turn shyly crimson, they were relieved.

In your dream

Michelle was still in the cold room. He wanted to get up, but had no strength. And his wrist couldn’t bend, as if someone had pointed to his acupuncture point.

He screamed in his heart, hoping that someone outside might hear his voice and come to his rescue.

“Is anyone in here?” Her lips trembled, but she could still make a faint sound.

However, there was only silence outside.

At the same time, the lights above her head made an unusual sound and the light flickered one after the other. However, before he had time to look up, with an ‘exploding’ sound, the light suddenly broke, and the whole narrow space suddenly went dark, and he couldn’t see his fingers.

Michelle’s heart clenched and she felt more desperate.

“Help!”

“Is anyone in here?”

“It’s very cold. My vision seems to be getting darker … “

The next day, the noise from outside woke her up.

She opened her eyes in a daze and felt nothing but pain all over her body. Looking at the white wall above his head, he suddenly realised he was in hospital.

What had happened to her? Was she ill?

“Michelle, how are you feeling now? Are you still cold Are you hungry?”

Scott’s handsome face broadened with his voice. Michelle raised her hand to touch his face. She thought she was dreaming, because she remembered she was in the freezer.

Yes, this must be a dream.

He was about to close his eyes when he felt the warmth of her hand. She looked at him again and, after a long moment, discovered that it wasn’t a dream.

Scott, he really is in sight and within her grasp.

Seeing her stunned, Scott couldn’t help but want to k**s her. Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

Michelle seemed to be unconscious. She moved her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but couldn’t say a word.

She was just cold all over. Scott looked at her pale, dark face, asked softly, “Are you still cold?”

It took Michelle a long time to understand what had just happened. Then she realised that if she’d been freezing yesterday. When she was about to speak, Scott hugged her. He was as strong as if he feared she might run away from him.

At that moment, Michelle was extremely warm.

She put her hands behind his back, held him and patted his chin on his shoulder. “I thought I was going to die out there.”

“You little fool, how can I let you die? Even if you die, I’ll stay with you. “

“Don’t be silly. I don’t like it.” After hearing what Scott said, Michelle was immediately angry. She immediately pushed him away and then turned her head.

Scott realised he had said something wrong, but as it was his truth, he didn’t want to apologise.

“I can’t go with you to the hospital today. I have something to deal with at the company. ” He looked at her apologetically and tied his messy hair to his forehead behind his ears.

Michelle said nothing, but nodded with a smile.

Olivia was at the hospital to keep him company, which put Scott at ease. Reluctantly, he left the hospital. He climbed into the black Porsche and drove away.

The car was parked outside the door of Barstow Shopping Centre.

When Scott opened the door and got out, he was stopped by the media who ran out of the shopping centre. Numerous questions flooded his mind.

“Mister. Scott, Barstow Mall is your company’s largest business. A boy reportedly went missing yesterday and was found at midnight. The boy’s mother was immediately rushed to hospital. The woman is now asking him to pay compensation for her daughter’s mental problems. How much do you expect to pay? “

“Sir. Scott, Barstow Mall existed in the C-town for years, nothing happened. But what happened yesterday caused a stir in the city. What do you think? “

“What are you going to do with it? Will it affect your business?”

Behind the countless microphones, there was countless gossip, for the Jiang Group was known the world over. As head of the Jiang Group, Scott had never expected such a big thing to happen to one of his subordinates. They really wanted to see how I was going to deal with it.

But Scott simply looked at everyone present with a slight mocking smile on his handsome face, “Get out of here.”

He always felt that this case was not as simple as he had imagined. What happened to the mother and daughter was too terrible. How could a child disappear in such a large shopping centre?

If the child was locked in the freezer, it would be cold for a normal adult to stay for ten minutes. And that child could still get out. Did that mean she’d just walked in?

All he wanted now was to find out the truth. As for the compensation demanded by the woman, there was of course no shortage of it. But why had the freezer door been shut for no reason? That remained a mystery.

The shopping centre’s security guards said it was because the freezer doors were rusted. There was a spring on both sides of the door, and the door closed automatically until the person inside pushed hard. Because of the ice on the door, the floor is very slippery and icy in the spring.

Since the media arrived, there must have been police.

As Scott entered, he was met with respect from the police. One of the men said, “Mr Scott, let’s talk somewhere else. “

“Good.”

As Scott came up the stairs, the manager hastily hailed him and the police followed close behind.

A group of them entered the manager’s office with force. Sitting on the leather sofa, Scott crossed his legs. The senior policeman sat opposite him, several steaming cups of tea on the table.

Standing behind Scott, the manager acted like an invisible person.

“Joy Yang, do you think it was an accident or man-made?”

Scott looked into Police Joy’s eyes. Joy Yang remained silent for a long time. When Scott saw this, he frowned in disgust. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes.

“We haven’t investigated this case yet, but this woman came in to report a case and asked for compensation.” Police officer Joy Yang was a little nervous, so Scott offered her the tea, which was an undeniable honour.

Putting down the cup of tea, Joy Yang thought for a moment and told the truth. He was a man of action. After all, evidence spoke louder than words.

“I don’t think this woman just wants compensation. I can give what I want. But I hope you can find out the truth of all this and if anyone is conspiring against me. Above all, we need to turn the whole supermarket around and see if there are any traces of artificial artefacts on the door. “

In any case, Scott sensed there was someone behind it. Given that the freezer was so dark, it wasn’t surprising that there was someone hiding there.

If the girl was lying in the freezer at the time, she probably wouldn’t be in so much trouble.

But the problem was that the security guard and the manager said it was the girl who had taken the initiative to run away. She was alive after spending so long in the freezer, she must have been a God or a ghost.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Scott. I’ll find out the truth.”

Police officer Joy Yang felt strange when he heard it. But that takes time and energy.

As for this woman, since she was asking for money, Scott wouldn’t be bad. But he didn’t want to waste his time on that if he was going to be taken to court.

When Joy Yang left, Scott asked the manager and the security guards to keep the media away. After all, bees make too much noise. They’re a real nuisance.

He didn’t know what the woman’s means were getting at. Anyway, after this incident, Scott felt it was an extreme mistake to let Michelle come to the mall in the first place.

If the assistant was sent instead of Michelle, this shouldn’t be happening, right?

But if someone was behind it, how would they know that Scott would send Michelle to handle it? Anyway, if it was just a coincidence, how could it be possible?
