Chapter 33: Evil Was Rewarded With Evil
However, Zac still didn’t raise his head.
Instead, he said in a harsher tone, "Get out!"
This was the first time that Lyndsy had been treated so poorly.
Unable to bear this anymore, she turned around and ran out of the office.
After she left, Zac slowly raised his head and thought, ‘Since you hurt Patricia through the atrocious acts you've committed, I'll make you pay for what you've done! I hope you're ready to face the fire!’ Lyndsy covered her bleeding forehead and ambled out of the office.
However, the blood kept flowing down the corner of her face as if it had a mind of its own.
Soon, her eyes were filled with blood, blurring her vision.
This caused her to stumble and fall down.
"Ahhh!"
Her scream attracted the attention of the employees working nearby.
They all took in the sight of her fallen figure.
Seeing her in this compromising state, with blood covering her face, they began whispering among themselves.
Some even had the audacity to laugh, "Hahaha!"
A burst of contemptuous laughter reached her ears.
She wanted so badly to see who dared laugh at her, but with her vision blurred by the bright red blood, she couldn't discern who was mocking her.
As she rose from the ground, her mind immediately ran on Sandra, whom she'd just spoken to.
"Miss Sandra..." she shouted.
However, instead of hearing Sandra's voice, she was greeted by the laughter of the crowd that had gathered to watch this spectacle.
She started to become anxious.
She knew that she needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
If she kept losing blood, she could die! Yesterday, she had split Patricia's forehead with an astray.
Today, Zac had done the same thing to her.
Evil was rewarded with evil! Suddenly, she heard a magnetic male voice over the laughter of the crowd.
"Miss Sampson?"
Lyndsy immediately recognized the voice of Kareem Reynolds.
Although she was a little taken aback, she thought that it made sense that he would be at the company since he was also a son of the Reynolds family.
At that point, it didn't matter who he was as long as he could help her now! "Kareem, my forehead is injured.Could you please take me to the hospital?"
Lyndsy, who couldn't see him clearly, looked in the general direction of his voice, hoping that Kareem would help her.
Donning a smile, she spoke to him while she wiped the blood from the corner of her eyes.
Little did she know that the white of her foundation was now caked with blood, turning what she thought was an attractive smile into a terrifying one.
As soon as Kareem was about to ask about her injury, he heard her scream out. As it so happened, upon finishing her plea for help, she moved to rise but instead stumbled and fell once again.
Although she wasn't hurt by the fall, she became even more depressed because of the humiliation she felt.
Frowning slightly, a trace of disgust flashed across Kareem's face before disappearing, lest someone should notice it.
He paused for a moment.
Upon seeing Lyndsy struggle to get up, he hurriedly made his way to her side and helped her up by taking her arm.
Concerned, he asked, "What's wrong, Miss Sampson? How did you get this severe injury on your forehead?"
"Zac...It's nothing, Kareem.I just can't see clearly right now.Could you take me to the hospital?"
The moment Lyndsy mentioned Zac, it occurred to her that she shouldn't mention him whatsoever, so she changed the topic.
However, Kareem had heard her clearly.
It wasn’t hard for him to piece things together after that.
"Okay!" he said without hesitation, and taking her by the hand, he supported her as they made their way forward.
He was interested in anyone or anything related to Zac.
He didn't mind the difficulties that came with solving Zac's problems.
He left, together with Lyndsy, and headed to the hospital.
The employees who witnessed this farce stood to view the receding figures of Kareem and Lyndsy.
Their hushed voices could once again be heard.
"Miss Sampson is really something!"
"Yes, dealing with her sister is no walk in the park.Her sister's matter is still up in the air, but here she is, doing such a thing..."
"How could the members of the Sampson family behave like this?"
"I think they are just interested in Mr.Reynolds's money..."
"I agree with you.Such women are despicable! It would be better if he wasn't together with her..."
When Sandra heard the discussion among the crowd, she got a bit annoyed.
Standing up, she shouted to the group, "Have you all finished your work? Or is it necessary for you to worry about the president's family affairs?"
Hearing Sandra's words, everyone scattered, returning to their desks.
They began to work diligently with lowered heads, and silence could be heard in the office once more.
Sandra sat down, but her mind kept straying.
She was worried about Patricia's situation, unaware of how her circumstances were currently like.
Patricia was, after all, divorced and her reputation ruined.
No matter how strong-minded she was, she wouldn't be able to bear it alone! But what the lawyer said after he came back to the company that day made her form a whole new impression of Patricia.
She remembered that when the lawyer came back, he had sat on the chair and just shook his head constantly as if to dismiss his thoughts.
Out of curiosity, she went forward to ask what had happened.
"To my surprise, Miss Sampson didn't want anything and signed the divorce agreement without hesitation.I've never seen such a silly woman.She must be insane!"
The lawyer's words surprised Sandra.
After three years of marriage, did Patricia really want nothing? Was she really going to give up all her property like this? Sandra knew that Patricia had her own job and could support herself.
But if another woman was in her shoes, they would never have refused any property or money they were about to be paid out.
Moreover, Zac was the richest man in the city! Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"Are you serious?"
Unable to believe this, she had to ask the lawyer once again.
"Yes! If you don't believe me, have a look at this!"
The lawyer took out the divorce agreement from his briefcase and put it on the table in front of himself.
Sandra picked up the agreement and read it through carefully.
The alimony proposed by Zac was nothing to him, but for a woman, even if she did nothing for the rest of her life, with what Zac was offering her, she would not have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.
It could even be said that she could live quite a luxurious life.
When Sandra saw Patricia's signature on the agreement, she was really shocked.Patricia indeed didn't take anything from Zac!
"Sure enough, she would do such a thing!"
Sandra whispered with a hint of admiration in her voice, but she was still worried about Patricia.
"I've been wondering why Mr.Reynolds would ask me to take the same document and let Miss Sampson sign it again since he had already asked her to sign the agreement before."
The lawyer drew up the divorce agreement and gave it to Zac.
But later on, Zac had asked him to make a copy of the contract and give it to Patricia for her signature.
Although he was confused, he could only do as he was told.
"Of course, he has his own reasons for doing so.Now that you have finished your work, you should give the agreement to him as soon as possible! Don't overthink such matters.After all, you would never be
able to figure him out,"
Sandra said flatly as she handed the agreement back to the lawyer.
