Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Witness

Manuel looked at Ainsley, who was lying on the hospital bed and having porridge obediently. He kept thinking about her collapsing in

the rain

When he saw she fainted in the pouring rain, he only felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Manuel silently walked to the window and looked at a few conspicuous flowers on the green lawn behind the hospital. The buds

started to bloom

A patient sneakily walked to the lawn and reached out to break the stem of a flower.

Manuel’s heart skipped a beat, and his face darkened.

A girl was in a pool of blood. Another girl cried crazily and eventually passed out.

This scene made him unable to stand. He held the wall with one hand and pressed his temple with the other

Ainsley asked, “What’s wrong?”

Manuel forced a smile and slowly smoothed his brows. “I’m fine. Have you finished eating?”

“Yes.” Ainsley took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.

She wanted to pull the infusion needle off the back of her hand but was stopped by Manuel.

“It won’t take long, and your fever hasn’t been completely brought down.”

In a deserted house, a Cayenne car stopped in the courtyard. A woman in a hospital gown walked out of the car with a pale face.

Manuel walked to her and supported her.

As soon as she entered the room, Ainsley saw a middle–aged woman tied to the chair to which she had been tied before.

Kiera struggled frantically, but the rope was very thick, which was specially brought by Manuel’s subordinates.

Moreover, the exits on the second floor and the first floor were all guarded by people. Even if she could really break free of the rope. she would not be able to get out of there.

As soon as she saw Ainsley, Kiera immediately became excited.

However, her mouth was covered by a large piece of tape. Having taken Manuel’s hint, his subordinate immediately took the tape off.

“Ainsley! What do you want? Even if I really broke the law, you should have called the police. What do you want to do by confining me here?” Kiera stared at Ainsley with bloodshot eyes. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and panic.

Ainsley chuckled. How could an ordinary teacher not be afraid when faced with such a situation? Putting aside how imposing Manuel’s subordinates were, she probably had never met such an intimidating scene.

“Tell me, is it Kaitlin who stole my thesis and told you to publish it?” She firmly stared at Kiera.

Kiera avoided Ainsley’s gaze and finally closed her eyes. “I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“You don’t understand? I just can’t figure it out. How did you manage to obtain my thesis? After checking all the surveillance cameras, I found that there was nothing abnormal about you, but we all understood that it was her.” Ainsley’s expression was gloomy.

Manuel put a piece of paper in front of her. “I checked your account. Yesterday, a sum of 80 thousand dollars was transferred to your account. The transferer was Kaitlin.” He released his hand and the piece of paper lightly fell.

Kiera watched the piece of paper fall to the ground. Her hands behind her back trembled slightly. “Since you’ve known it, why did you ask me?”

“I don’t know what benefits Kaitlin has given you. However, you should also know what kind of crime it is to steal another person’s

thesis and have it published. The school expelled you, but I have the right to sue you. Besides, since this matter happened, what you’ve done is more than kidnapping,” Ainsley said.

“So what? In any case, I have already been screwed. I no longer have a future!” Kiera said sadly.

Ainsley shook her head. “I have checked your profile. You have a daughter. If you have a criminal record, do you want your daughter to be criticized since she’s little? You are also a psychology teacher. You should be very clear about how complex people can be and how terrible the discrimination against criminals is. Do you want me to repeat it to you?”

Kiera’s eyes were misted. Her lips trembled slightly. “But you definitely won’t let me go. Even if I didn’t do this today, I’d already

violated the law.”

“But I originally planned to let you go. You have been expelled from the school and I have re–published the thesis. The people from the Journal Academy and Psychological Science‘ are fighting to confirm it with me. I don’t need to destroy you.”

She looked at Kiera sincerely. She did not look like she was lying.

Kiera stared at Ainsley in disbelief. “Impossible! Impossible!” She struggled to shout, “She told me that you wanted to completely ice me out! I was fired, so I wanted to open a consulting center, but she said that you would not let me go. I had no choice. I really had no choice. That’s why I wanted you to write a thesis for me.”

Ainsley asked, “Even if I write it for you, can you have it published?”

“Yes! She said she would help me. Her family is so powerful. She can definitely help me.”

Ainsley heaved a sigh. “Do you really think I can completely ice you out of the industry?”

Kiera glanced at Manuel. “You can’t, but Manuel can. She told me that the two of you had an affair.”

“Who exactly is she?” Ainsley subconsciously glanced at Manuel.

“No, I can’t tell you. If I do, I will definitely get revenge.” Kiera shook her head frantically.

Ainsley pointed at Manuel and said, “She does not dare to take revenge on you because Manuel is still here.”

Only then did Kiera lower her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were already tearful. “I know I made a mistake. That thesis was given to me by Kaitlin. She told me that this thesis would be published in my name. I had originally thought that there would be something fishy about it, but after reading that thesis, I could not help being intrigued. I had written many papers and read many papers,

but I had never seen a thesis that was so detailed and professional. As a result, I did not even think for too long before l published the thesis the next day.”

She paused and then continued speaking, “You know what happened afterward. The thesis was picked by the Journal Academy and publicized on the school website. I was disclosed within two days.”

“How did she get this thesis?” Ainsley coughed.

Kiera shook her head. “I don’t know how she got it. After I was expelled from school, she came to me again and told me that even if I wanted to start over again, you would not allow me. The only way is to kidnap you and let you write a new paper.”

Airisley laughed and said, “You are so naive.”

“She said that even if you helped me write it out, it might not be able to be published. But she can use the Baldry family’s power. She said that she would help me, and the sum of 80 thousand dollars is just the down payment,” Kiera replied.

Manuel sneered. “You were deceived by her. How could she allow herself to suffer a loss? The 80 thousand dollars you had got was

forcibly transferred out just now.”

Kiera widened her eyes in disbelief. She took the risk simply for the 80 thousand dollars.

Why could the money in her account disappear? Then what did she do all of this for?
