Chapter １４

The police outside whispered to me, "Mr.Cotillard doesn't want to hold you accountable. He also asked us to arrange a single room for you. But according to Mr.Cotillard's arrangement, he has to lock you up for two days to teach you a lesson."

I understand why Tom Cotillard asked people to lock me up for a few days.

to let me know that I'm just an ordinary employee, and the other is to let me know that as long as he doesn't want to let me go, I can't escape from his palm.

Thinking of the arrogant words of Tom Cotillard, I felt bitter. It's not that I can't escape from him, but that the people of the Dench Family are reluctant to leave.

Our family was once admired, but in my father's generation, we were already downcast. My father was not reconciled, and he tried his best to contact the celebrities. Later, he somehow got involved with the Cotillard Family. He even sold his property in order to buy a house next to the Cotillard Family.

Therefore, after the well-known Dench Family in B City hooked up with the Cotillard Family, it entered the celebrities circle in B city.

Unconsciously, our family seems to have become a living parasite relying on the Cotillard Family. The young master of the Cotillard Family is naturally their target of attachment.

As a result, after that incident, my parents didn't have any objection，and they would do whatever the Cotillard Family would ask.

When the people of the Cotillard Family no longer pay attention to me, I naturally became a useless abandoned member of the Dench Family.

It was ridiculous that he appeared again. It was so disgusting.

I bent my legs, held them with my hands, and buried my head in my knees, as if my heart would not be so sad and cold.

"Sir, why are you here in person?"

Then I heard the sound of running, unlocking, and then the middle-aged man's respectful voice, "Mr.Roberts, please forgive me."

When I heard Mr.Roberts, my body trembled slightly. I slowly looked up and saw Ben Roberts standing in front of the middle-aged man.

Then he strode to me, stroked my head and called my name softly, "Jane Dench..."

His voice is softer than any time I've heard. I really want to cry.

Ben Roberts held me tightly in his arms and gently stroked my back with his big hand. "I'm sorry. I'm late."

My nose twitched and tears welled up in my eyes.

But I can't be so coward. I looked up at him and smiled. "Didn't you say you would come back tomorrow? Why did you come back ahead of time again?"

"I'm here to pick you up."

I pushed him and raised my head from his arms. "I... I hurt someone. I can't go back with you now. You can go back to work. I will be fine."

I know what kind of person Tom Cotillard is. After locking me up for two days, he will be less angry. If Ben Roberts takes me away at this time, it will be troublesome. I can't cause him any trouble.

With a cold face, Ben Roberts asked, "Jane Dench, do you know what 'husband' means?"

"I know you are my husband." I don't have the mood to think about what Ben Roberts wanted to say. I just want to not cause him any trouble. "Ben Roberts, listen to me this time, or something will happen."

But he didn't say anything more. He picked me up, turned around and walked out.

The middle-aged man immediately caught up with him and said, "Mr.Roberts, it's a mistake. Please tell me if you need me."

Without looking back, Ben Roberts said, "chief, thank you for helping me tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

The chief nodded repeatedly. "Mr.Roberts, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

After we left, the guard was a little confused. "Does the director of the police station just let her go? What about Mr.Cotillard?"

The chief of the police scolded, "Cotillard Group? He's nothing compared to Mr.Roberts."

Tom Cotillard's Pov

In the VIP ward of A city first hospital.

After listening to his report, I smashed the document in my hand angrily.

"Losers, a group of losers!"

Luke Smith was so frightened that he lowered his head and whispered, "Mr.Cotillard, we dare not stop ."

"Is that Ben Roberts? He is just the president of a small company. How could he be so capable? But his surname is Roberts. Does it have anything to do with the richest man?" I clenched my fists and was not reconciled.

Luke Smith immediately added, "no, it's just a coincidence. He took office last month. He had been doing some business abroad before, but we didn't find any powerful force behind him."

I was so angry that I threw the cup at hand out and sneered, "a little CEO of future innovations wants to oppose me. I want him to die without knowing how."

Luke Smith immediately understood what I meant. " I'll send the message to the public. In the future, the operation of the Cotillard Group and all the subsidiary companies of the Cotillard Group will be prohibited from cooperating with us."

I nodded with satisfaction. "Do it well. Don't let anyone get hold of it."

Luke Smith replied, "yes, I'll do it right away."

"Luke Smith..." I called his name again. "How is everything going with the richest man?"

When it came to the richest man, Luke Smith's face darkened. "We didn't find him."

I touched my injured forehead and continued to look for him. If I can't see him this time, I can't explain to my father. "

Although our Family is rich, it's just a small business compared to the Roberts family. Recently, the company's development is not so good. In order to find a breakthrough, we want to cooperate with the richest man. Two months ago, it was said that the leader of the richest man, Ken Roberts, was going to come back to develop. As soon as the news came out, many businessmen gathered in A city. They all wanted to see Ken Roberts and let him cooperate with them. Then they wouldn't worry about making money. I must find him earlier than this group of people to prove my ability.

Jane Dench's POV

On my way back, I tried to communicate with Ben Roberts several times to let him know the seriousness of this matter, but when I opened my mouth, I was frightened by the cold gaze of Ben Roberts and swallowed my words.

When we arrived home, I tugged at his sleeve and said carefully, "Ben Roberts, listen to me this time. Don't get involved in this matter. It's none of your business."

All of a sudden, Ben Roberts reached out to hold the back of my head and let me look into his eyes. He said in a soft voice, "Jane Dench, trust me."

These simple words seemed to have endless power, which made me feel much relieved.

I looked at him and said carefully, "Ben Roberts, why don't you ask me why I was locked up?"

He didn't say anything for a long time, but I could see the sadness in his eyes. "Jane Dench, no matter what the reason is, you just need to remember that I'm behind you."

"I..." there were a lot of words in my heart. I wanted to say to him several times, but in the end, I couldn't.

What happened 2 years ago was a pain in my heart. I don't want to reveal the past scars to others. But Tom Cotillard was too difficult to deal with.

I sighed silently and went back to my room to take a shower. I lay obediently in bed and watched him walking over.

"I'll go with you." Ben Roberts lay down beside me, holding my hand with one hand and patting my back with the other to lull me to sleep.

At this moment, I feel at ease.
