As Yigol Foster spoke, Black Peter hurriedly flattered, "Sister-in-law is stunningly beautiful and captivating. Even if her face were ruined, she would still be more beautiful in our brother's eyes than Mary Stuart and Helen."
"Yes, Sister-in-law, don't be shy. Our brother is not only attracted to your looks but also your temperament and demeanor."
Shame on all of you! Forsythia Brown thought in her heart, all she had said was that she had 'injured her face'. If Yigol Foster really saw her face, he would definitely know she was lying.
"Forget it, let's not look at it, so as not to lose our appetite. Come on, thank you all for taking the time to visit me. Since you're all guests, I'll shamelessly entertain you with the food and drink you brought. Let's eat and drink without being polite."
Forsythia was still covering her cheek with one hand, gesturing to everyone with the other.
Black Peter and the other followers enthusiastically responded with 'Sister-in-law, then we won't be polite'.
Yigol Foster's face darkened, and suddenly, he pulled away Forsythia's hand covering her cheek. Gasping, he shouted, "Who did this?" The five finger marks on her cheek were clearly not scratches from falling out of the car.
Forsythia quickly covered her face again with the ice bag, but Yigol Foster pulled it away once more.
He held her face with both hands, his expression gloomy, and asked again, "Who did it?"
Aside, the followers realized that her cheek had been slapped. The swelling indicated that the force had been strong. Black Peter declared righteously, "Slapping our sister-in-law's face is like slapping our Brother's face. Tell us who did it, and we'll break their legs."
"And their arms too."
"Ah, I said it was an injury from falling, why don't you believe me?" Forsythia complained, twisting her head to avoid Yigol Foster holding her face.
Yigol Foster, worried about her pain, let go of her struggling face. "Let me see if you fall again." Having said that, he got up, found some ice cubes in the refrigerator, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and covered her swollen cheek himself.
When had their brother ever been so gentle to a woman? From his expression... it was clear he truly had deep feelings for their sister-in-law.
Black Peter and the others exchanged glances, becoming even more determined to help their brother and sister-in-law's relationship.
"Could it have been your ex-husband?"
With Gem Atkinson's return yesterday, and Forsythia injured today, who else in River State could hurt Forsythia and make her unwilling to mention it?
Yigol Foster guessed accurately.
Forsythia stared at Yigol Foster: she must not underestimate him and be more cautious in the future.
Seeing Forsythia silent, Black Peter asked in surprise, "Was it really CEO Atkinson?"
"CEO Atkinson hit a woman?"
"A man who hits a woman is not a good man."
"Yes, yes, he's not a good man. It's good that sister-in-law doesn't want to be with him anymore and got a divorce."
The followers took turns criticizing Gem Atkinson. Black Peter even added, "Our brother is much better; he never hits women."
"Was it really him?" Yigol Foster asked coldly.
There was no further need for her to hide it. Forsythia nodded, "Yes."
"Why?" Yigol Foster inquired.
"First, it was to avenge his fiancée. He thought my five years in prison weren't enough to atone for the suffering his fiancée had endured. And secondly, he felt that my performance at Enchanting had tarnished the reputation of Atkinson Manor."
This was indeed typical of a wealthy and powerful family. Yigol Foster snorted, "You and he have nothing to do with each other. How can he still have the face to think you're humiliating Atkinson Manor?"
"After all, I grew up in Atkinson Manor."
True, as the saying goes, even if bones are broken, they're still connected by tendons. Forsythia may have divorced Gem, but she was still raised in Atkinson Manor. On that basis alone, their relationship couldn't be completely severed.
As Yigol Foster thought, Forsythia continued, "I've thought it over, and his taboo is not unreasonable. Even if I don't consider Atkinson Manor, I should think about my father's love. When my father wakes up, he would be heartbroken knowing I performed at Enchanting."
He had always been attentive to Forsythia and knew Mr. Atkinson's indulgence and Forsythia's respect for him. Yigol Foster said, "So, your request for leave today is a lie. You just want to drag it out for as long as possible, hoping not to return to Enchanting in the end."
At this point, Forsythia couldn't help but admire Yigol Foster's remarkable insight. Whoever said he was a man of courage without strategy would anger her.
She did want to use this opportunity to quit her job at Enchanting, but that wasn't all.
Seeing her staring with wide eyes, Yigol Foster slapped her forehead and darkly warned, "If you want to leave me, Yigol Foster, and not repay your debt, forget it!"
Hehe, even if Yigol Foster was clever, he still missed something. How could Forsythia possibly want to leave him? Her goal was to get close to him!
Gem Atkinson's slap and warning could be exploited by her. She had to seize this opportunity to fight and advance to Yigol Foster's side, successfully entering the Pay Group's headquarters. And, this entrance must be granted by Yigol Foster himself.
"Alright, you're amazing, you've seen through me. I won't say anything else. From today on, I won't go to Enchanting anymore."
Hearing this, Yigol Foster's usually smiling face darkened instantly.
Without waiting for his response, Forsythia hurriedly added, "Don't mention compensation again. I worked in finance and know precisely the revenue I brought to Enchanting during my two months there. Conservatively, we made as much profit in these two months as we would have had in the previous six months. Therefore, if we're talking compensation, the money I've earned for you is enough for you to go to the hospital ten or eight times. I don't owe you anything."
"You..."
This woman was truly his personal scourge. Strangely enough, thanks to her, Enchanting's profits had doubled in the last two months. But at least she shouldn't use the number of hospital stays as a benchmark, right?
All that calculation made his balls hurt!
