Karl had flown into a rage before Ann could offer her explanation.
"Is that Phillip?"
Gritting her teeth, Ann glowered at Phillip by the side. He looked as if it has nothing to do with him.
Ann had to get out of the room to explain.
"I just had a meeting in the conference room."
Karl did not buy it.
He only cared about what her mother had just said on the phone, as well as the photos. All his jealousy and anger came out at the moment.
"You have been cheating on me, haven't you? You have already been with Phillip. You have been lying to me all these years, haven't you?"
After a pause, Karl sneered, "No wonder Nikki said that Phillip secretly kissed you before. No wonder you always came back so late when we were abroad. You said you were busy in the laboratory. Tell me the truth, you were with him, right? It was probably a made-up story that you sacrificed yourself to save your father."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ann cannot believe Karl would say this.
"I am not talking nonsense. Your father is the boss of a company. Even if he had some difficulties, he didn't have to give you out. Do you think I am a fool? You just want a father for your daughter."
Ann's hands that were holding the phone trembled and she bit her lips to cool herself down.
"Karl, calm down. I'll tell you about this after I came back."
She couldn't lie to him about her father.
"I won't listen to you. You let me down!"
Karl hung up angrily. Ann gripped her phone tightly and her face turned pale.
Karl had said that he would trust her no matter what happened. But now he changed his mind.
Ann heard a deep low voice behind her. Phillip rarely said in such a soft tone like now.
"What's wrong?"
Grasping the phone, Ann turned around to see the handsome gentleman before her. She sneered at him.
"Is it what you want? Is it fun to tease me? You only find pleasure in others' pain!"
Phillip's thick eyebrows furrowed because of the interrogation and it was not hard to find that he was angry.
However, when he saw her tearful eyes, he restrained his emotions.
"Ann..."
There were also some photographs of her explaining to Phillip about the perfume exhibition.
Actually, the photos weren't that indisputable. She could clear things up.
But it was hard if all of them were put together. Plus the way Betty looked at her and the call Karl had just made to her implied that they didn't trust her.
Obviously, no matter how she explained it, they would not listen to her.
Ann felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Nikki's pitiful expression hurt Ann. She said, "Betty, this is a huge misunderstanding. Nikki is crying. At least let me bring Nikki back first..."
Betty's look turned fierce. "You made Karl a cuckold. Nikki is Karl's daughter and my granddaughter. She deserves a better mother."
After saying that, Betty ignored Nikki who was shouting for Mommy, and closed the door.
Nikki's voice was cut off from her at once. Ann couldn't hear anything.
Ann felt her heart was broken into pieces when she thought of Nikki crying.
All she could do was waiting outside and calling Karl.
