Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 411 Ai Ning is Threatened
Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Ai Ning is Threatened
Henry glanced at Ellie and sneered before leaning against the window to gaze outside.
When Angel heard him call her stupid, she was instantly infuriated. She stood up huffily and demanded, "How am I stupid?"
Henry turned to look at Ellie again before speaking, "You can’t even find the person who owes Xu money, if that’s not stupid, what is?"
Angel, unsettled by these words, looked at Henry with suspicion, "What do you mean? Are you implying that Xu’s injury was intentional and not an accident?"
Henry turned to Ellie and said directly, "You might want to ask your friend. She was also there at the time. Maybe she saw something."
Ellie’s expression went through a rapid change at his words, and a flicker of panic passed through her eyes.
Quickly, Ellie tried to compose herself, "Mr. Henry, I’m sorry, but there were too many people at the time; I didn’t clearly see what happened."
Ellie claimed ignorance, but her heart raced with panic. She had indeed seen who had harmed Xu, but that was someone she couldn’t name.
After all, it concerned her entire family’s reputation.
She wouldn’t expose it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Seeing Ellie keep silent, Henry naturally didn’t accuse any further; after all, his words weren’t evidence.
"Angel, don’t you trust me?" Ellie turned to look at Angel with an innocent face and asked.
Angel shook her head right away, "I trust you, Ellie."
Having known Ellie for so many years, Angel was very clear about her character.
Relieved, Ellie let out a breath of air.
Xu Ying lay on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep as sleepiness overwhelmed her.
Zhang Meiling sat beside her, guarding Xu Ying.
At the exhibition hall, Ai Ning called her father to report the incident, only to be scolded on the other end, "Ai Ning, do you understand what you’re doing?
Even if Xu is beautiful and outstanding, what does it matter? She’s married and pregnant now. Even if Anthony likes her, he wouldn’t dare to be the other man and meddle in her marriage. Even if Anthony is foolish enough to do such a thing, his family would never allow it.
Eventually, Xu would never marry into the Anthony family. How could you be so foolish to do such a thing?
Now go and contact your older brother right away. Have him tell the personnel in charge to destroy the surveillance footage."
Upon hearing this, Ai Ning snapped out of it and immediately hung up to find her brother, Aite.
When Aite heard about the stupid thing Ai Ning had done, he couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation, "Ai Ning, how can you be so foolish."
Ai Ning looked at Aite in desperation, "Big brother, you must help me, I’m your sister after all."
It wasn’t that Ai Ning was scared; rather, to protect their own interests, some great families would expel members who brought shame upon them.
If her father did the same, she would be overshadowed by Anna for the rest of her life.
Seeing Aite unmoved, Ai Ning’s eyes darkened slightly, and she said outright, "It’s not just because of Anthony; it’s also Anna, she gets along well with Xu.
Xu also has a special relationship with Anthony. If Anna makes a connection through Xu and Anthony, our status in the family will be even more insignificant.
When Anna’s father becomes the head, what will you compare with Anna’s brother then?"
Hearing this, Aite’s expression changed drastically. He warned Ai Ning, "This is the last time I’m helping you. If you dare to do such a foolish thing again,
don’t blame me and father for being ruthless and kicking you out."
Ai Ning nodded vigorously upon hearing this and assured, "Big Brother, rest assured, I will never do such a thing again.
After I’ve won Anthony’s heart, I will definitely not forget about you, Big Brother."
Aite nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, then strode toward the exhibition hall’s surveillance room.
It was the new equipment that their country had just developed this year, and it had unexpectedly caught his foolish sister.
When Aite entered, Anthony was also in the surveillance room.
Aite looked at Anthony with a panicked face and said with a smile, "Anthony, what are you doing here?"
Anthony looked at Aite and sneered, "Of course I have things to do."
Ai Ning’s heart rose to her throat. She stared hard at Anthony, terrified that he would find the surveillance footage.
Anthony instructed the staff to search for the surveillance tape.
One of the employees stood up with a water cup, heading to get water. As he passed Aite, he slowed down and said in a low voice, "Mr. Aite, you and your sister are looking for that surveillance footage too, aren’t you?
I have the footage in my possession. If you want it, come and find me. I’ve already made another copy of this footage. If you don’t want Mr. Anthony to find it, you’d better contact me quickly."
Aite’s frown relaxed upon hearing this.
Ai Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What’s going on, where is the surveillance?" Anthony, having searched for a while and not finding the section of the video where Xu Shou was injured, became furious.
The staff member sitting at the desk trembled with fear under Anthony’s rage. He shrank down and said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Anthony, the equipment is still in the experimental phase, and accidents can happen.
The video might have accidentally not been saved."
Anthony’s face darkened, and he was so angry his face turned red and his neck swelled. How could it be such a coincidence that just the segment of footage where Xu Shou was injured had disappeared?
"Aite, sometimes when you do nothing but wrong, retribution comes."
With a vicious glare at Aite, he turned and stormed out with his assistant.
Ai Ning finally relaxed upon seeing this and left the surveillance room with a smile on her face.
"Don’t celebrate too soon. That footage has been saved by someone else.
Now go find that staff member you just saw and ask what he wants as compensation," Aite warned Ai Ning as he looked at her, "I don’t think Anthony has any feelings for you.
His big brother seems not bad, though. Why not marry Anthony’s big brother instead?"
Ai Ning’s face changed dramatically, and she pleaded, "Big Brother, I will definitely be able to marry Anthony, just give me some time.
By the end of this year, I will surely become his wife."
Aite glanced at her, then nodded and left with big strides.
Ai Ning hurried after the direction the staff member had gone. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Indeed, she found that staff member, and, full of disdain, she asked, "What do you want? Money? No matter how much you ask for, I can give it to you.
You better hand over that footage to me obediently, or else our family will not let you off."
The employee had wanted to extort something from her, but now, hearing Ai Ning’s arrogant attitude and contemptuous look, he felt insulted in an instant.
He looked at Ai Ning and smirked, "Miss Ai Ning, if this video were to leak, and Mr. Anthony were to investigate the responsibility, what would happen to your family?
Moreover, Xu is a business partner valued by both Mr. Anthony and Mr. Henry. If because of you, our country misses out on such a good deal, do you think the higher-ups would not be angry?"
