Chapter 37 Drive a Wedge
Later that trip, Karl seemed a little mad.
Not only was the salesman given the cold shoulder, but Karl also tried to find fault with Ann.
The salesman was slightly embarrassed, assuming Karl came here just to stir up trouble. Ann got a little awkward, too.
She pulled Karl's hand and asked softly.
"Karl, what's wrong?"
Karl looked at Ann, opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He just had Ann hold Nikki for a while.
"I'm a little tired today. Let's just get out of here."
After saying that, he walked out.
Ann pursed her lips in confusion. She could only explain to the salesman while holding Nikki and quickly followed up.
When she got out, there was no Karl. He had left alone.
Nikki hooked around Ann's neck, slightly confused, "Mommy, why was Daddy unhappy?"
Ann didn't know what happened, either. Still, she smiled and tapped Nikki's little head gently. "Because Daddy is tired from work and needs to rest."
...
The Moore's Old House
After receiving a phone call from his friend Todd, Phillip threw his two kids into Aydan's arms.
Aydan, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, was smashed to the point that he almost rolled his eyes.
Phillip entered his room and took off his coat. His voice was cold.
"Go ahead."
Todd's voice was lazy and teasing, "I sent you the information you asked for about Karl.
Professionally, he was mediocre, but he really got something with women..."
Before Todd could finish his words, Phillip hung up the phone.
Then Phillip turned on his computer. After reading the information in the email, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seemed that even if he didn't do anything, this Karl would be ruined by a woman sooner or later.
But for Ann, he didn't mind adding some fuel.
This day, While Ann and Karl were working overtime, Betty was at a loose end.
Thinking that she had never been to Karl's rented flat, Betty decided to send Nikki back in person.
She was not familiar with this neighborhood. So when she came across a young woman, Betty hurriedly came near her with Nikki. "Miss, do you know where is block 16?"
Rudy looked at Betty and Nikki, feeling that Nikki seemed familiar. Then she pointed in a direction.
"Go that way. Then turn left and go straight ahead."
Betty nodded. She was about to leave with Nikki.
Rudy suddenly remembered something. She caught up with Betty, smiling, "Madam, are you Karl's mother?"
Betty was a little puzzled, "I am, young lady, may I have your name?"
"Madam, my name is Rudy. I'm Karl's colleague and I work in the same office as him." Rudy smiled brightly.
No wonder Rudy felt that the little girl looked familiar. She had seen her on Karl's phone. The little girl was his daughter.
Betty smiled when she heard that Rudy was Karl's colleague.
Seeing this, Rudy rapidly hooked Betty's arm and said, "Madam, are you going to Karl's? I know where it is. I'll take you there."
Rudy held Betty and walked forward. She told her that she got along quite well with Karl. And Karl also took good care of her in the office. She praised Karl for his professional competence and his popularity in the office.
When Betty heard Rudy praise her son like this, her smile got wider. And she felt closer to Rudy.
"Rudy, you know Karl sometimes is too kind-hearted that I'm afraid he will be bullied. So it's great that he has such a colleague like you."
Betty paused for a moment, then pulled Rudy's hand and said, "Karl is going to get married soon. You should definitely come to the wedding!"
Rudy's face stiffened when she heard this. A trace of malice flashed through her eyes, but she put on a surprised look.
"So Karl is getting married soon? I thought he already knew about the thing... Now it seems that he has no idea..."
Betty was puzzled by Rudy's words, "Rudy, what are you talking about?"
Rudy pretended to be embarrassed, "Madam, my friend also lives here. Once we came across Karl's girlfriend getting out of a luxury car at night. The one who brought her back was a handsome young man." Hearing this, Betty's face trembled. She looked at Rudy with suspicion, "You are a girl. You shouldn't say things like that! That will ruin her reputation!"
"Madam, I just didn't want to see Karl be kept in the dark all the time!" Rudy looked as if she was wronged.
After a pause, Rudy wrote a note and handed it to Betty. "The younger sister of Karl's girlfriend is also a witness. If you don't believe me, just ask her. They are family, so she won't lie to you about this!"☐☐
