Kevin pressed Karen into his arms and gently stroked her back with his big thick palm. "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Karen did not expect that Kevin would appear here at this time. For a moment, her nose felt a little sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.
However, she did not allow herself to show weakness. She looked up at him and smiled. "Didn't you say that you would only be back tomorrow? Why did you come back earlier?"
Kevin could see how she was pretending to be tough, but he didn't say it out loud. He just held on tighter and said, "I came to pick you up and bring you home."
Karen pushed him away and raised her head from his arms. "I, I've hurt someone. I can't go back with you now. Go back to your work. I will be fine."
Charlie's character was quite straightforward. If she were to be locked up for two days, he would no longer be angry and would not make any more trouble for her.
If Kevin took her away at this time, it would be a slap to Charlie's face. Then the consequences would be unthinkable.
Kevin had just assumed the position as director of Innovative Tech. It was still a sensitive period, and his position as a director still needed to be strengthened. If Charlie caused any trouble now, Kevin's future might be ruined.
Karen felt that this was her personal vendetta. She didn't want to involve the blissful Kevin Kyle, let alone get him hurt.
Seeing Kevin's sullen face, Karen pushed him away and said, "Kevin, I'm really fine. You can leave now."
Kevin stared at her with a cold face and asked in a low voice, "Karen, do you know what the word 'husband' means?"
Perhaps in her opinion, "husband" was just a name on her marriage certificate, but for him, "husband" was his lifelong responsibility.
"I know you are my husband." Karen was not in the mood to think about what Kevin wanted to say. She was worried that she would get him in trouble. She pushed him away and said, "Kevin, listen to me now, or something bad will happen."
Kevin narrowed his eyes under his glasses and stopped talking. He picked her up by the waist, turned around, and walked out.
The middle-aged man immediately followed up and said, "Director Kevin, this matter is a grave misunderstanding. If you need anything more from me, please let me know."
Kevin said without looking back, "Chief Campbell, thank you for helping me so much tonight. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
His words were so pleasant, but the man called "Chief Campbell" was trembling with fear. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he walked in a hurry.
He said, "Director Kevin, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for what happened this time."
Kevin did not answer again. He strode over to the car at the entrance with Karen in his arms.
Seeing Kevin carrying Karen into the car, the middle-aged man's expression changed immediately. He was so angry that he picked up a chair and smashed it on the wall. "Summon everyone who was involved in this. No one can get away from this."
The guards did not understand and ventured to ask, "Chief Campbell, that woman has offended Charlie of the Gook family. How can we explain to Charlie if we let her go like this?"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, his face was slapped again.
The middle-aged man shouted, his eyes red with fury, "The Gook Family? In front of that man, he is nothing! That second son of the Gook family doesn't know who he has provoked."
