Chapter 86: The Lifesavers
If Aaron is taking this matter so seriously, it can only mean that the situation behind it is far more complex than she can grasp or imagine.
This unknown will cause Sherry to naturally develop a protective shell over herself.
She would rather not seek justice for this and hoped that it would just pass without a word.
Sooner or later, she would forget all about what had happened today.
Aaron stood in front of her, his brow furrowed.
“Sherry, are you such a scaredy-cat?”
“Yes.” Sherry hung her head low and admitted it outright.
Aaron snorted suddenly, “The Sherry I know wouldn’t … let something like that get in the way.”
“Perhaps, you don’t know me that well.” Sherry lifted her eyes to look over, a bitter smile spreading at the corners of her mouth, “I have no background and no ability, barely brazen enough to stay at Night Group and earn enough for the company, and not enough for the debts I owe, such a me is in no position to maintain my safety and dignity.”
There has never been a moment when Sherry would have been more awake than now.
Whatever Aaron’s reason for appearing before her now, she didn’t want to fly into the trap he’d laid for her.
“Sherry, you think you’re in charge?” Aaron lifted his eyes to look at her, his eyes contemptuous, “I told you to, sue, understand?”
Sherry was rigid.
It was predicted that there would be this moment when it would be impossible to resist.
She clasped her palm hard so as to keep herself awake and said, slowly, word by word, “Mr. Swift, this really is a private matter for me, you don’t have to threaten me like that, do you?”
“Don’t you want to know who the person was who put you in that condition? Don’t want to know what would have become of you now if I hadn’t been there to save you?” He leaned forward violently, forcing her into a corner.
This room was already very narrow.
Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly, “I’m looking forward to it, you know the truth.”
The closer he got, the more Sherry tried to duck back.
Her back, hooked directly by him.
Looking at each other, Sherry’s heart thudded, not with the afterglow of a heartbeat, but with the tension of having no choice but to go nowhere.
Her soul, it was as if she was being tightly drawn to the man.
In that instant, the only voice in your ears was his deep, melancholy voice, “And, if I hadn’t gone to your rescue, you would … be in danger right now, so you have to listen to what your rescuer says, understand?”
Sherry bit the corner of her lip to death.
After a long time, he squeezed out, “Who do you want me to sue?”
“Tacy,” Aaron’s eyes wavered with emotion, but there was a bit of a smirk in his voice, “She was jealous that you were close to Andrew and had someone take you captive.”
Sherry’s frown tightened.
It’s her?
The Stephanie Family’s daughter would go to such lengths to do this for her.
“You have to tell your lawyer everything that happened then, one way or another, and you can’t leave any of it out, remember?” Aaron’s hand, brushing over her ear, “Fail to sue the Stephanie Family, and I’ll have you serve another year in jail for false accusations.”
Sherry had no room to bargain at all and was taken straight to Aaron’s car and taken to the solicitor’s office.
“Crown Law, the most qualified lawyers in town, are here, and this case is a success, not a failure, got it?” This was the last time Aaron reminded Sherry before he entered.
Sherry’s heart sank further downwards.
But what she didn’t expect was still to come. At the same time, Tacy arrived at the firm, accompanied by a man Sherry knew, Andrew.
Looking at each other, Sherry subconsciously ducked her head.
But Aaron, having noticed them, took the initiative to go over and greet them with a long stride straight after.
“Andrew, Tacy, what a coincidence.” Aaron’s civilized smile was when something was premeditating in his mind.
The gentler and more courteous he was, the more ruthless this ploy became.
Sherry felt it so deeply that when she heard the tone of his voice, her head hung so low that she wanted to find a crack in the ground.
Aaron caught a glimpse of her hiding behind him and took her directly in his arms, half-embracing her in a way that would have made anyone who looked at them think that their relationship was anything but subordinate.
Aaron, who has never liked women throwing themselves at him, has taken the initiative to hug Sherry!
Tacy stood across from them with nothing but amazement in her beautiful eyes.
“Mr. Swift, you guys …”
“Coming to the law firm, of course I’m here for a lawyer, my assistant Sherry was kidnapped yesterday, she’s too scared to mention it all the time, but as her boss, of course I have to stand up for her, no matter how much it costs, I’m going to hire the best lawyer and win this case for her.” Aaron raised his eyebrows upwards, his smile deepening.
Tacy’s hand slowly tightened, “Really? I don’t see anything wrong with Sherry, is it really necessary to go to court?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aaron gives a look over.
“Unnecessary?”
He jerked his hand, and the scar on Sherry’s wrist where the twine had been tied showed.
The bruises are black, and in some places there are blisters, so it hurts to look at such slender white hands.
Andrew tried to step over at first but was blocked by Tacy’s left arm.
She smiled gently and stepped over, trying to take Sherry’s hand.
But all at once, Aaron brushed him away.
“The police will also come to check her wounds and make a statement later, you’d better be careful, in case you touch her wounds and leave fingerprints … there will be trouble for you.”
Until this moment, Tacy was completely unaware of what a terrible person Aaron was.
But the look in his eyes in that moment simply made your heart tingle.
Even her usual appearance of being an Heiress was shattered to pieces.
But Aaron didn’t waste much time on her, his eyes glanced at Andrew next to him and the smile on his lips grew colder, “I thought Andrew cared about my assistant, why do you look like you just found out about this?”
Andrew’s eyes faltered and a chill vaguely flushed through them.
Indeed.
If he hadn’t run into them, he might never have known about it, and looking at the cut on Sherry’s wrist, and the way she stood over Aaron, Andrew was indescribably angry.
Not only to Aaron, but also to himself.
“Sherry, I …”
“Without interrupting you two, the appointment with the lawyer has arrived.” Aaron turned and dragged Sherry upstairs.
The whole time, Sherry didn’t look at Andrew again.
She kept her head down and looked good, but in her mind she was thinking of something else, why was Aaron sticking up for himself?
No, of course he wouldn’t worry about going out on a limb for her.
He is targeting the Stephanie Family and Andrew.
Sherry doesn’t know what part she plays in the man’s plan, but what is certain is that Aaron’s plan will not come to fruition if she doesn’t speak up.
