Chapter 35 Do You Hate Me?

My heart jumped. This incident was just that the Conner Group’s CFO was killed, but if the reporter

photographed me and Walter, it would not have been a simple murder, but a conspiracy of the Conner

Group and the Hinton Group. After all, netizens’ imaginations were wild.

The death of a CFO along with the presence of heirs from two big companies was gimmickier than a

simple murder.

Thinking of this, I tried to avoid the reporters and leave with Walter.

But before I took a step, a male voice was heard outside the door, “What’s going on? What are you

doing in my house? What’s going on?”

With the man’s voice, a middle-aged man squeezed in through the door, carrying a briefcase in his

hand.

It was Ryan.

knew him. He was the Conner Group’s CFO.

When the police saw Ryan coming in, they came forward to inquire. It was not long before they found

out the whole story. It turned out to be Abagail’s nonsense.

Ryan looked at Abagail and raised his voice. “What’s going on? Abagail, you don’t want to live with me,

do you? You even said you killed me. How dare you do that? You even brought the police over.”

When Abagail saw Ryan, her eyes glazed over, but she didn’t panic. She said, “Are you back? Have

you eaten anything? Are you hungry?”

I was totally shocked by Abagail’s reaction. She had just said she killed him with scarlet eyes, but now

it seemed that she cared about Ryan so much.

I was confused.

And so were the policemen.

Ryan glared at Abagail and greeted several policemen, saying that there was nothing wrong with him

and letting everyone leave.

Seeing this, several policemen were not very happy, and their work had been in vain for such a long

time. But fortunately, it was just a false alarm and they didn’t care about it. They just told Abagail not to

report the false case next time.

Then they mentioned that Abagail hurt Walter in the coffee shop. Ryan was a little grumpy when he

heard that Abagail hurt someone. When he saw me and Walter, he froze, and then hurriedly opened

his mouth and apologized to us.

Walter did not intend to investigate the matter, so he let the police go under the pretext of dealing with it

privately.

After the police left, Ryan looked at me and said, “Ms. Conner, I’m really sorry to get you involved.

Thank you for bringing my wife back.”

I shook my head slightly and couldn’t help looking at Abagail. She didn’t say anything to me. I thought,

“Why did she come to me to say those things? Is there really something wrong with her mind?”

But since it was a false alarm, I naturally didn’t ask a lot of questions. I just looked at Ryan and said,

“You’re welcome. But since you’re all right, you’d better take your wife to the psychiatric department for

a good check-up to avoid any problems in the future.”

Ryan hurriedly said yes.

Then, Walter and I intended to leave.

Just as we came to the door, Abagail suddenly said, “The Conner Group is going to have an

accident…”

“Shut up. Stop talking nonsense.” Ryan reprimanded, and his voice was already a little grumpy. When

he saw me looking back, he hurriedly said, “She’s talking nonsense. Ms. Conner, please don’t mind

her. I’m really sorry.”

I nodded and couldn’t help looking at Abagail before I left. She still seemed to be in a state of trance.

After a long day, it was already getting dark.

In the car, seeing that I remained silent, Walter looked sideways at me, his voice low and introverted,

“What are you thinking about?”

I shook my head, looked sideways at him, and saw that the gauze on his hand was stained with blood.

I realized that he was hurt. I took back my mind and said, “Stop the car by the side of the road, and I’ll

drive.”

He raised his eyebrows and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll be home soon.”

Seeing this, I pursed my lips. “You have to go to the hospital to have a look. It will be troublesome if the

wound is infected.”

He looked sideways at me and smiled, “Do you care about me?”

I had something on my mind. I didn’t want to waste my time with him. “I just don’t want grandmother to

find trouble with me. After all, you have to go back to the old house to accompany Ashley. She won’t

miss

it.”

Walter frowned, “Who told you that I would go back to the old house

soon?”

didn’t think much about it. I just followed his words and said, “Ashley can’t do without you. Can you rest

assured that a pregnant woman is waiting for you in the middle of the night?”

The car was suddenly somehow quiet and the air became cold.

Aware of his mood, I was stupefied for a moment and felt that I hadn’t said anything wrong. How could

he be unhappy?

It was terribly quiet all the way, and we returned to Water Villa. Ast soon as I got off, Walter suddenly

grabbed me and said, “Tabatha, let’s talk.”

He then dragged me directly into the villa. He let me sit down on the sofa in the hall and poured me a

cup of tea.

I was a little confused when he behaved so formally, saying, “You… What do you want to talk about?”

Walter sat across from me and didn’t rush to open his mouth. Instead, he took off his black coat and put

it aside before he looked at me and said, “Tabatha, do you hate me?”
