Chapter 33 You’ll cry Later
Orlando pursed his lips and walked out of the restaurant without a word.
‘There was nothing Lawson could do, so he called his men to let them go.
Paula and Brenton were tied up in a dark room, shivering.
She never expected that Viola would know a big shot like Orlando. Her jealousy towards Viola deepened.
Viola was an orphan growing up in an orphanage, and she was a divorced woman.
Why could she get the help of so many outstanding men of Washington?
But compared to jealousy, Paula was more afraid at the moment.
It was a fear of how Orlando would deal with them.
With a crisp sound, the lights were turned on. It took them a little while to adjust to the light.
The two of them trembled in fear, and before they begged for mercy, Lawson’s men loosened their
ropes.
Then those men left.
They didn’t even look at them.
Paula and Brenton looked at each other with confusion.
What was going on?
Did Orlando let them go so easily?
Brenton then called Rodrigo to ask about the situation. Paula was also listening from the side.
But the phone was turned off.
They couldn’t get through.
There was no other way. Paula and Brenton decided to leave first in case Orlando would regret it
later.
After returning, Paula called Rebecca and learned from Rebecca that Rodrigo and Jagger were
arrested.
Rebecca asked, “How did you do it? What happened?”
“Mr. Caffrey of Caffrey Group overheard our conversation. He tied us up. Rodrigo and Jagger were probably sent to jail by Mr. Caffrey.”
Paula guessed, but there was a little doubt in her heart. She continued, “But I couldn’t understand why he let me and Brenton go?”
Rebecca was silent for a moment.
“I will send someone to investigate this matter. You only need to keep an eye on that woman.”
“Okay.”
Paula hung up and turned to hug Elliot beside her.
Elliot was in his forties, and he held her in his arms with a perverted look. “I think the new director of the company is pretty good. Why are you so against her?”
Paula pushed him away when she heard this.
“You promised to help me get promoted. But that woman took my place. If she wasn’t beautiful, would you care about such staff?”
Thinking of something else, she continued, “And you gave me a second-hand BMW. Am I that cheap in your heart?”
The man didn’t know how to answer for a moment. He had to comfort her with nice words. “You are the most beautiful woman in my heart. I did not have much money by then. Later we can pick a
better car together.”
Paula snorted to express her dissatisfaction.
“Since you want the position of the director so much, I will find trouble with her at the meeting tomorrow. You can help. She is a newcomer, and she doesn’t know how to deal with it. She will only
make a fool of herself in public. The position of director will soon be yours.”,
Paula was delighted, “You promise?”

The man nodded. “Darling, I’ve helped you so much. Shouldn’t you reward me?”

Paula blushed and pouted, “You’re so annoying!”
