Chapter 388 Hunters and the Yellow Bird
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
âMrs. Hoyle's concussion is moderate. You may have headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and
blurred vision, but it's not serious. With medication and examination, it will generally disappear in
three days. Don't worry.â
Fortunately, it was not serious. Everything was under control.
Fortunately, she had always been driving carefully, never sped up.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and decided to drive the car where there were less people and
car.
It would be dangerous if she had driven back to the city on the street where the traffic was
cramped, only to find that the brakes failed. He dared not think of what might happen.
He took his phone and called Kent Bai, âWhere are you?â
"Where else could I be? Unlike you, I don't have a woman and children here. People like me,
although I have many houses but none of them feel like home. Although I have many women but
none of them is to marry. As for children, they are still somewhere faraway in the future. So, I decide
to stay in the hotel.â
âWait for me.â
âI will, but you'd better bring me breakfast on your way here. The breakfast in this hotel is extremely
poor. I'd rather eat your woman's cooking.â
âI can ask her to give you 20% discount.â
âMr. Hoyle, you're too stingy. I run errands for you and you don't even give me a comfortable place
to live. You even let your wife to take my money. Ah, married men are different.â
Alan Hoyle smiled and hung up the phone.
In the hotel suite, Kent Bai walked out of the bathroom. His waist was wrapped in white towel, water
dropped off his wet hair, and he stepped out barefoot.
Seeing the breakfast in Alan Hoyle's hand, he grabbed it immediately, sat down, and devoured it.
Alan Hoyle frowned, âYou look like you just bailed out of prison and didn't eat for a few days.â
âI shouldn't talk when I eat or sleep. If you have something to say, you can wait for me until I finish
eating.â Kent Bai snorted. This man hailed from the street. Although he lived a glamorous life now,
but he was still a big fans of commonersâ food.
Alan Hoyle waited patiently.
âThe noodleâs good, so is the beef. Where did you buy it?â Kent Bai hadn't eaten authentic rice
noodle soup for a long time. Now that he did, he swept the bowl clean.
âI bought it in Bainian Restaurant. My wife loves it. I think it's not bad either. I know you love this
kind of food, so I buy it for you.â
âI didn't expect that your wife's liking is so similar to mine. How is she by the way?â Kent Bai asked.
âNothing serious. She's clever. She managed to save herself.â Alan Hoyle smiled.
âI can see you're quite proud to say this.â Kent Bai teased him.
"Well, she always has something that makes me proud of her.â
"Are you trying to make me jealous?â Kent Bai covered his mouth and threw the disposable
tableware into the trash can. The cheap scent from the food floated in the gorgeous suite. It was
rather a misfit.
"Why donât you bring home a woman? What happen with you and your little lover?â
Kent Bai's face changed when he heard the question, âLet's not talk about this. I've never seen a
woman so stubborn that she doesn't yield to persuasion or coercion. Let's talk about you. When
things are over, what are you going to do with Ophelia? To say the least, sheâs also your childhood
friend.â
âChildhood friend?â Alan Hoyle sneered, âShe doesnât deserve that nickname.â
"Watch her for me. Don't let her play her tricks or else, I will let her spend the rest of her life in
prison.â Alan Hoyle said coldly.
"You're so heartless.â Kent Bai said, âAt least, she is crazy about you.â
Alan Hoyle gave him a look, âThere can be many women who are crazy about you. Do you have to
be responsible for each one?â
âIt's nothing but a wishful thinking for them for they are not at the same level as you.â said Kent Bai.
He knew that for Alan Hoyle, whether their feelings were true or not, it was only a game. It was
impossible to be responsible for each one.
He rubbed his nose out of habit. Alan Hoyle would do anything to escape his responsibility, while
Kent Bai, the woman he loved asked him to piss off. What clownery was this?
âHow much money in Finn Meyer's possession now?â
Kent Bai smiled through the pain and went back to his senses.
âNot much. This old fox is bitching around and heâs proud about it. He hypocritically invested his
money in Hoyle Group and secretly established a company to buy shares of Hoyle Group and sell it
to W.T. He thought that he had done it perfectly, but in fact, we saw it through. After earning a lot
of money from W.T., Finn Meyer put a lot of money in Southeast Asian Market. He didnât know that
we're digging a hole there and waited for him to jump. Moreover, W.T. Company sold those shares
again and the buyer was you. Hoyle Group belonged to you again. Although the returning price was
a little higher, but we managed to kick the hassle out and you became the dominant one. Your
losses will be covered by the SEA market. We'll just wait until the money is all in place and we'll kick
his ass. Alan, you're much more of a fox that the old fox. They say that there is always a yellow bird
behind a cicada, but most people forget that behind the yellow bird is a hunter. You make an
excellent hunter. Finn Meyer is basically handing the Meyer Group to you.â
Alan Hoyle walked to the wine cellar and poured himself a glass of wine. He gently swayed his glass
and smiled, âMaybe, there is another person who will find this unexpected. I'm dying to see the look
on his face.â
"Why do I feel like this is going to be sour?â Kent Bai teased.
âThat's because you've been jealous lately. I heard that your lover will soon be engaged to another
man.â
âShe dares not.â Kent Bai grunted.
âDare or not, that's on her, but whether or not you can win her back, that's on you. I know you have
just enough experience, but still, I think I need to advise you.â Alan Hoyle patted him on the
shoulder and encouraged him, âTake it easy on her, will you? Don't rub it on her face too much, or
you will scare her away. If you insist, she will look at you as a rogue uncle and she will hide as far as
she can.â
âYou know I don't eat people.â he was not a beast and God knew he loved her.
Alan Hoyle laughed, âSometimes you do. If she stays by your side, she will put her guard up all the
time. If she makes a mistake, she will fear for her life. Do you think she will be interested in you that
way? You have to learn a thing or two from me. She has to meet Olive. I'll ask Olive to speak on your
behalf. It's easy for women to have a heart-to-heart conversation. Maybe, your girl will listen to her.
But still, it's a gamble.â
âI cannot afford to exile myself on a dessert island for a month.â it was hard for him to believe it.
After leaving the hotel, Alan Hoyle didn't rush back to rest. Instead, he asked Ophelia Meyer out and
called Mrs. Hoyle.
He sat at a quiet corner in the coffee shop and waited patiently.
At a distance, he saw Ophelia Meyer coming up with his mother, chatting and laughing like an
innocent girl. Her demeanor was confusing. People who didnât know her would think that she was a
simple girl with a simple mind.
Mrs. Hoyle was still upset with Alan Hoyle. She saw down with ugly face, âIs the sun rising from the
west today? When you take a break from accompanying your precious woman, you ask you mother
and your abandoned fiancé for coffee.â
âWas it you yesterday?â Alan Hoyle lifted his eyes and looked at her faintly.
âI don't follow. What are you talking about?â Ophelia Meyer said.
"You don't understand? You did something to Olives car and almost killed three lives. Do you want
me to say it clearly?â Alan Hoyle reminded her.
Mrs. Hoyle didn't believe it, âHow is that possible? Ophelia was with me yesterday. She never left my
side.â
âI met Olive in Baohua Temple yesterday, but I was with mother all the time. I never left her side.
Alan, I know you don't like me, but it doesn't mean that you can blindly accuse meâ
Alan Hoyle was disgusted. When he looked at her face, he felt disgusted, âThis is my mother, not
yours.â
Ophelia Meyer's face turned black and blue, she was at loss for words.
Mrs. Hoyle slammed the table, âIf you still consider me as your mother, don't talk to Ophelia like
this.â
âMom, I know that you have a woman for me in your heart, but my wife by law is Olive. You
shouldn't embarrass yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you.â
His light glance made Ophelia Meyer shivered.
Mrs. Hoyle's face didn't look any better. Although his statement was understandable, but his
attitude pissed her off, âDo you invite us to come today to accuse us? Do you think I'm involve in
this?â
Ophelia Meyer wiped her tears, she asked, âOlive had an accident and you suspected me without
any evidence. It's true that Olive Steele and I are enemies, but are you sure that I'm the only one she
offended?â
âIt's best not to let me find out that it has something to do with you.â Alan Hoyle gave her a
warning look. He got up and walked away. The question somehow reminded him that there was
another person who had motive to retaliate against Olive Steele.
