Chapter 790
“It’s not me but Ms. Lineker. Something happened to her, and we’re now in the hospital.”
Wendy was not a local, and she had not gone home to celebrate Christmas this year.
Hence, she rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from Wilma.
She did not know what to do when she saw how Wilma was beaten to a pulp.
At that time, the first person who crossed her mind was Sophie.
If Ms. Sophie knows about this, she’ll surely help us because she always treats all the employees at Transfix Cosmetics well.
“Which hospital are you two in?”
Isn’t Ms. Lineker pregnant? What’s going on? What can happen to a newlywed?
Wendy then sent the address of the hospital to Sophie.
Immediately, the latter said to Tristan, who was driving, “Don’t go home yet. Let’s head to this hospital.”
Tristan knew how much she cared for her staff at Transfix Cosmetics. Hence, he did not utter a word but did as she said and drove her to the hospital.
When they arrived, Wilma was still in the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Wendy felt much better upon seeing Sophie in person.
“Ms. Sophie, that man is too much! He actually beat Ms. Lineker up on Christmas Day!” It was clearly a case of domestic violence.
How dare he have the audacity to hit Ms. Lineker!
“What should we do, Ms. Sophie? It wasn’t easy for Ms. Lineker to have found her happiness. Yet, it turns out that her life isn’t as blissful as she thought it would be at all.” Wendy had completely lost her faith in love.
Wilma was so happy a few days ago. She’s not a demanding person, so why did it end up like this?
“Where’s Phineas Lehner?”
Phineas was Wilma’s husband. Sophie had a good memory, so even though she had only met him once, she remembered his full name.
“I don’t know. After getting a call from Ms. Lineker, I went to her place and saw that her house was a complete mess. Phineas was nowhere to be found.”
“Okay, I got it. Don’t worry; we’ll wait here together.”
Half an hour later, Wilma was wheeled out of the emergency room.
When Sophie saw her, she instinctively clenched her fists tightly.
That damn Phineas! What was he thinking? How could he hurt her so badly?
Wilma’s face had swelled up as a consequence of the repeated hitting. There was not an area on her face that was not bruised or injured.
It was hard to imagine a prideful person like Wilma would let herself end up being pummeled to a pulp.
Anyone who saw her in that state would have felt terribly sad.
“Wendy, why did you call Ms. Sophie here? It’s Christmas.” Ms. Sophie has always been very busy. How can she find time to take care of our petty affairs?
As soon as Sophie heard those words, she walked to Wilma and grabbed her hand.
“Don’t think too much, Ms. Lineker. All you need to do now is rest.”
Wilma had always been a feisty woman.
She really thought that she had found her happiness. Ironically, things turned out totally different for her. Now, she felt extremely pathetic. As if that was not enough, Sophie had to witness her in her most miserable state.
“Ms. Sophie, I lost my baby.” Wilma had been ready to accept any outcome, no matter what it was.
However, she did not expect Phineas to hit her so badly just a few days after their wedding.
When he was assaulting her, it was obvious that he did not take her as his wife but treated her like an enemy.
He even kicked her stomach and caused her to miscarry.
Wilma subconsciously placed her hand on her flat stomach.
As it turns out, having a blissful life is not an easy thing to achieve.
Wendy could not help but cry when she saw Wilma like that.
“Ms. Sophie, Phineas is too much! How could he treat Ms. Lineker so badly?” It was not that Wendy had never heard about domestic violence before, but she thought that no man would ever lay a finger on another woman now that the world was much more civilized.
Yet, Wilma, a wonderful woman in their eyes, had encountered domestic violence.
“It’s okay, Ms. Lineker. Please rest well these few days. Wendy, you stay here and take good care of her while I resolve all the other problems.” There was nothing more Sophie could comment when it came to that abuser.
“It’s Christmas, Ms. Sophie. Please go home. I’ll be fine as Wendy is here to take care of me.” Wilma was reluctant to trouble the ladies, but she needed someone to be around, considering her current state.
“Rest well, Ms. Lineker. I’ll come and visit you again tomorrow.”
“Okay. Wendy, please walk Ms. Sophie out for me.”
Wendy did as she had requested.
“Ms. Sophie, what should I do? If Phineas were to appear, what should I do?” Wendy was, after all, a young woman who had not seen much of the world. She had no idea how to handle such a situation.
“Don’t worry. If he dares to show up, I’ll break both his legs.” Sophie was blazing with anger.
D*mn you, Phineas!
“Anyway, even if he doesn’t come, I’ll seek him out.”
Sophie’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. It was Wendy’s first time seeing a different side of Sophie, and she thought her domineering boss was so cool!
As long as Ms. Sophie is around, nobody will dare to bully us.
“Go back and take care of Ms. Lineker. I’ll get some food delivered to you in a bit. Make sure she eats, and don’t mention that jerk in front of her anymore. Let her rest.” After giving a series of instructions, Sophie left the hospital with Tristan.
Back in the car, Sophie immediately made a phone call.
“Help me find Phineas Lehner and then send me his location.”
Initially, she wanted to deal with the matter the following day, but she did not want that man to roam around freely while Wilma was still in the hospital.
How can I let him enjoy his freedom and have fun?
“All right, Phantom. Rest assured that I’ll send you his address soon.” Phantom finally gave me a task! How could I not do this well?
Tristan knew that Sophie was angry.
She has always been very good to her staff. How can she not get mad when someone who works under her was physically attacked?
“Are you going to teach that man a lesson now?” Tristan knew her heart’s desire. Hence, he did not start the car engine but waited with her for Phineas’ location.
“Well, I can’t sleep even if I go back now, so let’s deal with this matter first.”
“That’s true. He’s just a scumbag. There’s no need to wait till tomorrow. Let’s get this done and over with today.”
Tristan could not agree with her more.
“When we see that jerk later, don’t do anything. Leave him to me.” He did not want her to touch another man.
“Don’t make it sound so violent. We just want to communicate and share our feelings with him.”
“Sure. That sounds good.”
Within five minutes, Sophie received Phineas’ location, and Tristan drove there directly.
At that moment, Phineas was having a good time in a nightclub. When Tristan and Sophie arrived, they found him surrounded by women.
“You don’t know how boring that woman, Wilma, is. Does she really think that she can tie me down with marriage?”
