Chapter 244 Act As If Nothing Had Happened

Lina was right. Doris had no evidence even she told the truth, but Zoe was still worried.

"Even if we don't have proof, my brother will believe her." Zoe thought.

Since she joined the Lee family, although she called Bright brother affectionately, he never treated her
as a real sister, even worse than Lina.

At least when he was younger, Bright cared about Lina and treated her like a sister, which was better
than Zoe, a stepsister.

Although she was jealous, she was still a good friend with Lina. Her love for Bright could only be kept in
the bottom of her heart. If Lina found out about it, they would be rivals in love.

And she didn't want to lose Lina, her good friend, because Lina had helped her not to be bullied by
others and spoke nice of her in front of Bright.

Their friendship was real. She knew that she was not as good as Lina in all aspects, and it was
impossible for her to be with Bright, so she chose to be his friend.

"Are neither of us more important than she, a little child? She is just a stepdaughter without blood
relationship with him." Lina comforted Zoe, who looked nervous, "Don't be scared."

"Lina, you don't know how Bright pampers Rose. For her, he didn't even hesitate to lie to my father that
this child is his own daughter. He could even mix the blood relation of the Lee family. Why would he be
so in love with Rose?" Zoe was very angry about what had happened.

Her eyes fell on Doris. "This child belongs to the woman," she said, "if she tells on me, Bright won't
suspect it. I'm really done..."



"I just shook my hand and I didn't know she'd get hurt... Lina, you know I didn't mean to do that. I didn't
mean to hurt her. Bright will kill me."

"I see. Don't worry." Lina's face was also grim. She looked at the blood on the carpet and thought,
"There's only one way to keep her quiet."

"What?" Zoe clutched Lina's hand tighter, as if she were her savior.

"Shut her mouth forever." Lina offered a solution.

"What do you mean..." Zoe was afraid to think further.

"Only a dead person cannot speak." Lina had a fierce look in her eye.

Zoe's heart was cool. She trembled with terror.

"To kill... kill her?" Zoe's voice was trembling.

"No, she's wounded and bleeding. We'll leave it to God and do nothing." Lina pulled her over. "Just
grab your bag and leave. Make sure you don't know anything about it, or you'll just get noticed."

"Yes." Zoe nodded hurriedly, but her face was a little pale.

"You look horribly white." Lina reached up to her face. "I'll give you some pinch. That would make you
rosy. Bear the pain."

Zoe endured the pain and allowed Lina to pinch her face, and sure enough, her face looked a bit rosy.

Lina was older than Zoe after all, and had more life experience than Zoe, so she was calmer.

She asked Zoe to take her arm, and they walked out of the office pretending to shoot the breeze, and
then left the top floor by the elevator. Zoe was relieved.



"Lina, let's go back to City J." Zoe was really scared.

"If we leave so sudden, it will be too obvious. Brother Bright will think we did that." Lina patted Zoe's
hands. "Just remember you didn't do this. She fell on the floor herself. They would suspect you of doing
it if you panic."

"Take a deep breath and relax. Breathe again and relax."

Zoe nodded and listened to Lina and followed her to make herself relaxed.

"So where are we going?"

"Just go to a cafe downstairs and have some coffee." Lina suggested.

While Lina and Zoe were at the coffee shop, Bright ended the meeting and headed for the office,
followed by Masie and Bill.

Masie pushed open the office door. Bright entered the room, glanced around but did not see Doris.

"Where's Doris?" Bright asked.

"Mr. Lee, I will ask Jessie." said Masie.

Bright nodded and walked around his office. He came to the office desk and put down the documents.
Out of the corner of his eye, he was caught by the pink figure on the sofa.

Bright frowned and hurried to the sofa. Sure enough, he saw little Doris lying on the gray carpet.

And what shocked him was that the bloody flower pattern on the carpet grew large, which made his
heart twitch.

He knelt down quickly and cradled Doris carefully in his arms.



He gave Doris a gentle shake, "Baby, wake up. Can you hear me...?"

Doris still kept her eyes tightly closed. There was a scab of blood on her forehead, from which the
blood flowed, staining her long, thick eyelashes. Her pure white face was also stained red with blood,
making his heart ache.

"Bill, get the car ready!" Bright shouted.

Bill, who was standing by, was stunned, and he recollected his sense by Bright's shout, "Yes!"

Bright picked Doris up and hurried out.

As soon as he came out of the office, he met Masie. When Masie saw Doris injured and unconscious in
Bright's arms, she widened her eyes in shock.

Bright didn't look at her, but she was shivering because of the cold aura emanating from Bright, as if it
were the arctic wind.

Masie followed Bright and went to the elevator first and pressed to the first floor.

"Mr. Lee, what's the matter?" Masie's throat felt dry when she spoke.

"I want to know what happened, too!" Bright's eyes were solemn, "I asked you to find someone to look
after her. Is that how you look after her? Secretary Masie, it seems that it isn't important to you!"

"Mr. Lee, I am the one to be blamed for this, and I will accept the punishment." Masie didn't pass the
buck, but took the responsibility.

"I don't have time to deal with you now." When Bright saw the elevator open, he stepped out
immediately.

Masie followed, "Mr. Lee, let me go with you to the hospital."



Bright didn't say anything. He just tightened his eyebrows. Who the hell had hurt Doris?

If he found that person out, he wouldn't let it go.
