Chapter 186 What Happened?

"What happened?" Shaun questioned Allie head-on as she got out of the car. Allie glanced at him and did not say anything. She opened the car door and looked at the unconscious Lindsey inside. She then reached out and pulled up one of her arms as she said to Shaun, "Give me a hand." The two of them pulled the drunk Lindsey out of the car. The effects of the alcohol were getting to Lindsey. Earlier, she still looked fine when she was lying down. Now that she stood up, her cheeks were flushed and she also began to mutter inaudible words. She suddenly began to be active. Seeing that Shaun’s face was gloomy, Allie did not want to lose an ally at this time, so she explained, “She’s in a bad mood, so she drank one too many.” In fact, Shaun could already tell without her telling him. The person beside him reeked of alcohol and was still struggling restlessly, trying to get out of their grasp. Shaun did not even have to ask to know why Lindsey was in a bad mood. After all, Zayn's scandals these days were nothing new. He was actually guessing Zayn’s motive behind this and it had also become a joke in the industry. After all, no one would respect a powerful business mogul that was involved in so many scandals. At that moment, Shaun suddenly felt heartbroken seeing Lindsey drink herself to a mess because of this. "Careful, Linds. Lean on me. Don't move." When Lindsey heard his voice, she struggled even harder and said in a clear voice, “Zayn Guggenheim! Don’t touch me!” Shaun paused in his footsteps and his face sank. At the side, there was a smirk on Allie’s face. The more Lindsey agitated Shaun, the greater the chances of her plans succeeding later. "Lindsey is so drunk that she doesn't even recognize anyone. She even thinks that you’re Zayn. All she thinks about is Zayn Guggenheim." Allie sighed seemingly unintentionally. "If she had seen more of the good in others, she probably wouldn't be so deeply hurt by Zayn now." Every word Allie said hit Shaun where it hurt. Shaun had also thought about it countless times. ‘Why couldn’t Lindsey see how good I am to her? All she cares about is Zayn...Even if she got hurt and even after dying once, her heart was always chained to Zayn Guggenheim.’ Shaun’s heart had long been filled with uncontrollable anger and resentment. ‘Why is it only Zayn Guggenheim?! Why can’t it be me?’ After saying that, Lindsey did not move further until Shaun put her on the bed. She suddenly reached out and tugged the hem of Shaun's shirt. "Don't go..." Shaun was not sure if she was talking to him or her beloved Zayn Guggenheim. His face was gloomy as he looked at Lindsey. He said, “Don’t move, I’ll get you a cup of water.” However, Lindsey persistently tugged on his shirt. Her eyes were shut, but she looked quite stubborn. This was a scene Shaun fantasized about for a long time, but at that moment, he just felt very uncomfortable. He sat down at the edge of the bed and took Lindsey's hand. His voice was gentle like a lover's murmur as he said, "Alright, I'll be right back. Aren’t you thirsty? I'll go get you a glass of water." Somehow, his words made Lindsey pout and her voice sounded like a soft purr as she said, “Water...” After that, she obediently let go of Shaun’s shirt. Once Lindsey’s grip loosened, Shaun immediately got up to go to the kitchen since Allie was watching over Lindsey. There were no signs of life while Lindsey was gone. There was no warm water and the fridge was also empty. Shaun hurriedly got out the kettle to boil some water from the tap. Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him, “This is a good opportunity for you.” Allie was standing at the kitchen doorway with her arms crossed. Her eyes were scheming as they looked at him... Denarius. Zayn clasped his hands under the tip of his nose as he listened thoughtfully to Quentin's report on his recent schedule. After listening, Zayn gave the order without an expression. "Put off the two meetings abroad and get Soren to deal with it." Quentin knew the meaning of Zayn's move and obliged. These days, they were openly attacking Hemera and Wilford Corporation. Seeing Zayn’s dark eye circles, Quentin just felt that Zayn’s thoughts were getting more unpredictable. Quentin was just about to leave when the secretary's voice sounded from outside, "Mr. Quentin, Ms. Blue is looking for you." The secretary's voice was calm, but her heart was shaken. This Ms. Blue was not a random person, but a famous actress from a recent popular TV show. When Quentin heard this, he was just thinking that his task today was completed. He looked back at Zayn and met Zayn's eyes. "President, I'm the one who contacted her for you." These days, all the celebrities and models that accompanied Zayn were recruited by Quentin. In fact, he only needed to state Zayn’s name and everyone would just show up at their doorstep. However, this boss was too picky, so he had to be the personal gatekeeper. Seeing that Zayn did not speak, Quentin opened the door and said to the secretary, "Invite her to the lounge." Outside, news of this had already been blown out of proportion, but the truth was that all these beautiful women had never even entered Zayn's office. The secretary was used to it and secretly took a small notebook to write it down. She then invited the woman into the lounge. Quentin finished giving his orders and was ready to close the door behind him, but he paused at the door and turned back to look at the cold, unfeeling man. "President, I just received word that the Young Madam and Allie Wilford went to...a bar." Seeing the man's slender fingers freeze for a moment, Quentin felt that he had achieved his goal and closed the door behind him. ...... The sky outside the window was pitch black, which was in stark contrast with the blinding white light in the kitchen. Allie’s face in the bright light looked a little ghostly. "What are you trying to say?" Shaun had never liked Allie. Even though she looked innocent and oblivious, she had asked him to team up against Zayn, so how simple-minded could she be? Allie twirled a section of her hair that fell on her shoulders as she said, “You always look so gentle and kind, but why are you always so harsh with me? I'm just thinking of what’s best for you and Lindsey. Lindsey didn't want to go back to the Guggenheim mansion tonight. You know her character. If something really happened between you two, she’ll definitely divorce Zayn immediately. By then, you won’t need to worry that she’ll neglect you." Shaun raised his eyes and his face was unmoved. "You're asking me to take advantage of the situation to rape her so that Lindsey can hate me for the rest of her life?"
