Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 I Don't Bother to Do That

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be able to design as well. You're actually somewhat useful. I thought..."

Louis quickly stifled the laughter at the corner of his mouth, giving a disdainful snort as he stared at Blanche's delicate hands. Her surprised and repulsed expression just now made him feel uncomfortable.

Blanche tilted her chin slightly, revealing her snow-white forehead. Why couldn't this man stop making fun of people?

"What did you think?"

"I thought you only knew how to apply the cream to your hands."

Blanche was rendered speechless.

She noticed that Louis was walking towards the bed, so she followed him.

"For tonight, I'll be taking the bed, and you can make yourself at home on the sofa. We'll both have a night's sleep on the bed separately."

Louis's phone suddenly rang, and he glanced at the caller ID before answering.

After listening for a moment, his expression changed.

"Don't move from where you are, and I'll be there soon."

Louis hung up the phone and hurriedly left, the sound of his car starting up soon following.

Blanche pursed her lips. Although she didn't hear the specific content of the phone call just now, she did catch a glimpse of the caller ID - it was Cathy.

Blanche went to the balcony and saw that Louis' car had already driven far away, leaving only the taillights.

...

She slept until morning, and Louis didn't come back last night. When Blanche came downstairs, Louis' assistant Sam had arrived.

"Madam, I'm here to get a document for the CEO."

Blanche looked at Sam with scrutiny and nodded.

Sam entered the study to get the necessary information and came out. Blanche stopped him.

"What happened last night? Where is he?"

"Sorry, Mrs. Herbart, I can't tell you about the CEO's affairs. If you want to know, you should ask him personally."

Blanche's eyes sharpened. Cathy was an outsider but was quite popular in the Herbart family. Could it be that something happened last night...?

Blanche gave a disdainful snort. It seemed that the position of the Herbart's young madam was quite hot.

Sam was embarrassed. The CEO didn't come back last night, so Blanche must be guessing wildly. She was probably thinking too much.

"Mrs. Herbart, Mr. Herbart wouldn't do anything he shouldn't. Please don't think too much."

Blanche paused for a moment as she turned around, then she turned back and nodded lightly.

...

The scene was shifted to the hospital.

Yesterday, when Doris was returning to her country, someone targeted her halfway. The other party was aggressive and drove straight towards their car. Cathy supported Doris to get out of the car, and the driver continued to drive forward, finally getting rid of the other party.
