Chapter 113 You're All Clever, Except One
Beth was in Ken's car. After the car had left Moonshadow, Ken asked, "Where are you going?"
Instead of answering his question, Beth asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Ken curled his lips and said, "Would you believe me if I said that I had a crush on you for a long time?"
Beth was silent.
Ken said, "Congratulations on finally seeing what Edward's really like. He is just an ungrateful and vicious man. It doesn't matter how nice you are to him. As long as he doesn't want to take your favor, then you are worthless to him. "
Beth, who was stabbed to the weak side, clenched her fists and cried silently.
Ken held the steering wheel in one hand and drew a tissue with the other and handed it to her. He said, "Stop crying. He is just the wrong person for you."
Beth lowered her head to wipe her tears. After a while, she said, "Thank you."
Ken smiled and asked, "How do you thank me? You wouldn't just give me a 'thank you', right?"
Beth asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Ken suddenly said softly, "Would you like to come to my house tonight?"
After a while, Beth was silent. Ken laughed, "Just kidding."
Beth said, "If you need my help in the future, just tell me."
Ken smiled and looked ahead, but his eyes were cold. He said calmly, "It's no need to be so utilitarian. We can just keep in touch to make up for the regret that we have lived in the same city for so many years without being friends. "
Beth said indifferently, "I know you're just trying to fight Edward."
Ken didn't deny it and said, "That's a enough reason for us to be friends, right?"
After a moment of silence, Beth said, "I didn't know people well before. I'll remember the help you gave me."
Ken smiled frankly, "Don't rush. Anyway, we have a lot of time to get to know each other. You'll find that I'm much easier to get along with than Edward."
By the end of the night, Beth was neither angry nor agitated. She just said calmly: "You will also find my friend more useful than you think."
Ken just smiled without saying a word.
Ken dropped Beth home and watched her open the car door.
He said, "I'll drop you here."
In a bad mood, Beth said without a smile, "We can have dinner together next time."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
The smile on Ken's face faded quickly after watching Beth turn and walk in. After driving away, he called Aiden on the way.
After Aiden got on the phone, Ken asked, "How is it over there?"
"What?"
"Jane. Are you with her?"
"No."
Aiden answered the question very succinctly, with absolutely no explanation. Ken asked, "She's gone with Edward?"
"I don't know," Aiden said.
Ken frowned and asked, "What did you do after I left?"
Aiden didn't answer and asked, "Why did you do that just now?"
Ken said, "You don't see that I sacrificed my life to save her?"
Aiden said, "I just see that you want to disgust Edward.
Ken sneered," I don't need to use Beth to disgust Edward. Everyone knows that she is barking up the wrong tree. Edward didn't like her at all. Do you think I'll fall in love with someone he doesn't even like? Are you insulting me? "
Aiden said, "I thought you wanted the resources of the Brown family so you took the opportunity to woo her."
Ken sneered, "So in your heart I'm just a little stupid boy who lives off a woman?"
Aiden was silent. Ken said seriously, "I'm enduring hardship to achieve my purpose. I heard Beth had a conflict with Edward before. The two of them even quarrelled in the office, which was probably because of the mole. Beth even framed Jane for getting close to me before. Now I am closer to her. I'll leave her completely unable to explain this!"
Aiden asked, "Beth didn't realize you did it on purpose?"
Ken chuckled. "She's not that smart. She even thought I wanted to be her ally."
Aiden said, "Don't go too far. There's no benefit to spending too much time with her."
Ken said, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of her anyway. How dare she ask Jane to kneel and apologize to her in public? I wouldn't do it, not to mention her."
"You care a lot about Jane," Aiden said.
Ken couldn't tell from his calm voice whether he was asking or stating.
Without a positive answer, Ken said, "Don't you see that Jane is someone Edward values?"
Aiden said, "Can you think more about the business?"
Ken said, "You're in charge of the business, and I'm in charge of the crooked. Isn't it great that we each have our own strengths and our roles?"
Aiden said, "Jane is just a commen woman. Don't bring her into the conflict between you and Edward."
Ken asked, "Why? What's your relationship with Jane?"
"I have nothing to do with her," Aiden said. "I just don't want her to be used by you."
Ken said, "You should be responsible for saying that. I've never used Jane."
Aiden said, "You just haven't found the opportunity yet."
Ken smiled, "All right, don't teach me how to be a good person all day. It's enough for you to be a good person. I'm already notorious."
Aiden said, "Stop talking. Watch the road."
...
This time Jane did not refuse Edward to send her home. When opening the door, she habitually used her right hand. Edward caught a glimpse, but said nothing. He drove straight to the hospital.
Jane, who was worried, didn't look carefully at the road. Moreover, she also had something to say to Edward.
"Mr. Smith, I'm sorry to trouble you to go out so late."
Edward said, "Would you feel more relaxed if I said I was just here to be part of the spectacle?"
Jane lowered her head without smiling. She said, "I have violated the company's regulations when I gather in the street to fight. I also know that I should not teach Justin anymore. I don't know what the company will do with this. But the course cannot be withdrawn. So the company will probably switch to another tutor to teach Justin. I'll find time to tell Justin about it. As for you, I can only say sorry to you. "
Edward said, "Beth called you out?"
Jane said truthfully, "Actually, I called her out."
Edward was a little surprised. But he still said calmly, "Why didn't you call me?"
"It's a private matter," Jane said.
Edward said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Private matter beween you two? That's interesting"
Jane wasn't very disappointed or remorseful. She said in a calm and steady voice as usual, "I'm glad that the first student I met in S City was Justin. I am also very grateful for your care these past few months. But I regret not being able to finish the class. I sincerely hope that eveything is all right with you and Justin in the future. "
Edward said, "I haven't said anything yet, and you have even thought about your parting words?"
Jane wasn't pretending to be pitiful. It was just that she knew the consequences of the fight. She still had a lot of bad things to deal with after fighting.
Edward said, "I don't think you're an impulsive person."
Jane was particularly candid and said, "I'm not. I decided to hit her after a lot of thought."
Hearing this, Edward finally couldn't help laughing.
Raising the corners of his lips, he smiled and said, "After careful consideration, you decided that you would come alone?"
